Wood. It is written. Mat. 18. That wheresoever two or three be gathered together in Christs name, 1there is he in the midst among them: and whatsoever they ask the father upon earth, it shall be granted them in heaven, agreeing to the 5. of Math. saying: When thou comest to offer thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee, 2leave there thy offering, and go first and be reconciled to thy brother, and then offer thy gift. The priests would have interrupted me: but the bishop bad them let me alone.
