Then will I make all the world to see, and my very Enemies to enjoy the benefit of this Vow and resolution of Christian charitie, which I now make unto thee O Lord.
As I do freely pardon for Christ's sake those that have offended me in any kind; so my hand shall never be against any man to revenge what is past, in regard of any particular injurie done to me.
We have been mutually punished in our unnaturall divisions, for thy sake O Lord, and for the love of my Redeemer have I purposed this in my heart, That I will use all means in the waies of amnesty, and indempnitie; which may most fullie remove all feares, and burie all jealousies in forgetfulnesse.
Let thy mercies be towards me and mine, as my resolutions of Truth and Peace are towards my people.
Hear my praier O Lord, which goeth not out of feigned lips.
Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, or taken his mercy from me.
O my soul commit thy way to the Lord, trust in him and he shall bring it to pass.
But if thou wilt not restore me and mine, what am I that I should charge thee foolishly?
Thou, ô Lord hast given, and thou hast taken, Blessed be thy name.
May my people and thy Church be happie if not by me, yet without me.
