But here, Christ maketh thee sure of 1pardon: for if thou canst forgive thy brother, God hath bound him self to forgive thee. What if no man have sinned against me? That were hard in this life: nevertheless yet, if that profession be in thine hart, that thou knowest that it is thy duty to forgive thy brother for thy fathers sake, and art obedient to thy fathers ordinance, and wouldest forgive, if any of thy brethren had offended thee and did ask thee forgiveness. Then hast thou that same spirit which God desireth to be in thee. Mark what Christ saith above in the beginning of the fifth chap. Blessed be the merciful: for they shall have mercy. Doest thou pity thy brethren that sin, and doest thy best to amend them, that thy fathers name may be honoured? Then hast thou that, whereby thou art sure of mercy, as soon as thou desirest it. And again: Blessed be the peace makers for they shall be Gods children. Lo, if there be any variance among thy brethren, that one have offended the other, do thy best to set them at one, and thou hast the same thing that God desireth of thee, and for which he hath bound himself forgive thee.
