After this came unto him one Master Conrad Scheitter, the Vicar of the cathedral Church of our Lady in Munchen a preacher, saying: George, if thou wilt not believe the Sacrament, yet put all thy trust in God, and say: I trust my cause to be good and true: *but if I should err, truly I would be sorry and repent. Whereunto George Carpenter answered: God suffer me not to err I beseech him. Then said the Schoolmaster unto him, do not put the matter in that hazard, but choose unto you some good Christian brother, Master Conrad, or some other, unto whom thou mayst reveal thy hart: not to confess thy self, but to take some godly counsel of him. Whereunto he answered: Nay, not so, for it would be to long. Then master Conrad began the Lords Prayer, Our Father which art in heaven. Whereunto Carpenter answered, truly thou art our Father and no other: this day I trust to be with thee. Then Master Conrad went forward with the prayer, saying: Hallowed be thy name. Carpenter answered: O my God, how little is thy name hallowed in this world? Then said Master Conrad. Thy Kingdom come. Carpenter answered: let thy kingdom come this day unto me, that I also may come unto thy kingdom. Then said Conrad: Thy will be done in earth as it is heaven. Carpenter answered: For this cause O Father, am I now here, that thy will might be fulfilled and not mine. Then said Master Conrad: Give us this day our daily bread. Carpenter answered: the only living bread Jesus Christ shall be my food. Then said Conrad: And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. Carpenter answered: with a willing mind do I forgive all men, both my friends and adversaries. Then said Master Conrad: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil: Whereunto Carpenter answered: O my Lord, without doubt thou shalt deliver me, for upon thee only have I laid all my hope. Then he began to rehearse the belief, saying: I believe in God the Father almighty. Carpenter answered: O my God, in thee alone do I trust: in thee only is all my confidence, and upon no other creature, albeit they have gone about to force me otherwise. In this manner he answered to every word: which his answers, if they should be described at length, would be to long. This prayer ended, the Schoolmaster said unto him:
