TO the 43d he saith, That reciting the words of Luke, "If thy brother have offended against thee, blame him, and if he repent, forgive him, and if he have offended against thee seven times in one day, and seven times in the day he be converted unto thee, saying, I am sorry, forgive him:" he said farther these words in effect▪ It appeareth by this place of scripture, that we are not bound (except he repent) to forgive him; but we are bound to pray to God to forgive him, and to give him grace to repent, that he may forgive him.

And whereas he had engaged another learned man to come into his diocese to preach, George Constantine by his discouragement advised him from this defendant.
