Do you forgive

1. Those that any manner of way have offended you, as [freely as] you your self would be forgi∣ven?

2. And do you desire of God that he also would forgive them?

3. And do you forgive them the satisfaction they are bound to make you upon account of those things wherein they have offen∣ded you, [whether] in word or deed?

4. Will you have thus much sig∣nified in your name to those that have offended you, that you for your part have forgiven them all their injuries?

5. Would you be readie to forgive them if they had done you more and greater mischiefs?

6. Would you be glad if you had more [enemies] to forgive, that so God might bestow on you a more plentiful remission of your own sins?

* 1. IF you your self have offended any [others] do you beg par∣don of them [likewise], [and desire] that they may forgive you?

2. Whom do you chiefly remem∣ber [that you have offended]? and would you have thus much made known to them in your name?

3. Forasmuch as no forgiveness is to be hop'd for of sins against the eighth or ninth Commandment of God's Law, unless restitution be made, are you readie to restore Goods to those whom you have wronged in their Estates? and repair the credit of those whom you have injured in their good Name; and that without fraud or delay?

4. And now at last, can you call to mind who these are?
