LETTER VI. From the Rev. Mr. LAURENCE SAUNDERS to his WIFE, and others of his Pastoral Flock, written in the Compter, the last day of January, 1555, after his Condemnation.
THE grace of Christ, with the consolation of the Holy Ghost, to the keeping of the faith and • •ood conscience, confirm, and keep you for ever vessels to God's glory. Amen.
OH! what worthy thanks can be given to our gracious God for his unmeasurable mercies plentifully poured upon us? And I most unworthy wr••ch cannot but p••r forth ⟨p. 446⟩at this present, even from the bottom of my heart, the bewailing of my great ingratitude and unkindness towards so gracious a God and loving Father. I beseech you all, as for my other many sins, so especially for that sin of my unthankfulness; crave pardon for me in your earnest prayers, commending me to God's great mercies in Christ.
