loue not only our frendes but also our enemies yea that froÌ„ the bottome of the herte Let vs forgyue so many as offende vs shew our selues of such affeccion toward them that offende vs as we desyre y â— Christ should be towarde vs. Lette vs be so feruentely gyuen vnto the preseruacion of fraternall concorde mutuall charitie that yf thorowe humayne infirmite it chaunseth at ony tyme that coÌ„tencion ryseth vp amonge vs we maye notwythstandynge so shortely put it away by reconcylynge one to another that all displeasure taken awaye the sonne maye not faull downe vpon our anger Let vs euer set before oure eyes this sayeng of S. Paule â–ª As y â— elect of God holy beloued put on teÌ„der mercy kyndenes huÌ„blenes of mynd mekenes longe sufferynge forbearynge one onother and forgeuynge one another yf oâ—â—e manne haue a quarell

yet both at that tyme yea also many yeres before we read that dyuers holy meÌ„ prayed in other places besydes that Temple were harde Neyther dyd God so institute that temple to be a house of prayer as though it should only be there lawefull to call on hys diuyne name but y t by that meanes he shoulde kepe the grosse Iewes in an order whiche els would haue inueÌ„ted newe kyndes of worshyppyng God after theyr owne fantasy resorted to such places wher Idolles were worshypped by this meanes be prouoked vnto Idolatrye where vnto they were very much bent as we may se in the holy Scriptures Therfore god appointed theÌ„ to pray in that temple of Salomon not takynge awaye yet for all that the lybertie of prayeng in euery place froÌ„ the faythfull For we read y e Enos y â— sonne of Seth dyd fyrst

with many other of the auncieÌ„t Patriarkes worshypped prayed vnto God one in this another in that place before ony one peculiar house was appointed dedicated vnto prayer yea and God hearde those
