Now, as touching we desire one an other to pray for us, that do we to put our neighbour in remembrance of his duty, & not that we trust in his holiness. Our trust is in God, in Christ, 1and in the truth of Gods promises, we have also a promise that when ij. or iij. or moe agree together in any thing according to the will of God, God heareth us. Notwithstanding, as God heareth many, so heareth he few, and so heareth he one, if he pray after the will of God, and desire the honour of God. He that desireth mercy, the same feeleth his own misery, & sin, & mourneth in his hart for to be delivered, that he might honour God, and God for his truth must hear him, which sayeth by the mouth of Christ. Mat. v. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they 2shall be filled. God for his truths sake must put yt righteousness of Christ in him, and wash his unrighteousness away in the blood of Christ. And be the sinner never so weak, never so feeble and frail, sin he never so oft and so grievous, yet so long as this lust, desire, and mourning to be delivered remaineth in him, God seeth not his sins, reckoneth them not, for his truths sake, and love to Christ. He is not a sinner in the sight of God, that would be no sinner. He that would 3be delivered, hath his hart loose already. His hart sinneth not, but mourneth, repenteth, and consenteth unto the law & will of God, and justifieth God, that is, beareth record that God which made the law, is righteous & just. And such an hart, trusting in Christs blood, is accepted for full righteous. And his weakness, infirmity, and frailty is pardoned, and his sins not looked upon: until God put more strength in him, and fulfil his lust.
Now, as touching we desire one an other to pray for vs, that do we to put our neighbour in remēbraunce of his dutie, & not that we trust in his holines. Our trust is in God, in Christ, 1and in the truth of Gods promises, we haue also a promise that when ij. or iij. or moe agree together in any thing according to the will of God, God heareth vs. Notwithstanding, as God heareth many, so heareth he fewe, and so heareth he one, if he pray after the will of God, and desire the honour of God. He that desireth mercy, the same feeleth his owne misery, & sinne, & mourneth in his hart for to be deliuered, that he might honour God, and God for his truth must heare him, which sayeth by the mouth of Christ.
