scribe me what he meaneth by the seconde iustifienge. I know no moare to doo / then when I haue receaued all mercy and all forgeuenesse of Christ frely / to goo and powre out the same vppon my neyghboure.

M. Dauid lost not his faith / when he committed adultery. T. No / and therfore he coude not continue in synne / but repented assone as his faulte was told him. But was he not reconsyled by fayth only / and not by dedes? sayd he not haue mercy on me lorde for thy greate mercye and for the multitude of thy mercies put awaye my synne.

And agayne / make me heare ioye & gladnesse / that the bones which thou hast broken maye reioyse. That is latt me heare thy voyce that my synne is forgeuen and then I am saffe and wyll reioyse . And afterward he knowlegeth that god delyteth not in sacrifices for synnes / but that a troubled spirite and a broken herte is that whych god requireth. And when the peace was made / he prayeth boldly and familiarly to god / that he wold be good to Sion and Ierusalem / and sayth that then last of all when god hath forgeuen vs of mercy / and hath done vs good for our euell / we shall offer sacrifice of thankes to him agayne. So that our dedes are but thankesgeuynge . When we haue sinned / we goo with a repentynge herte vn to Christes bloude / and there wash it of thorow faith. And oure dedes are but thankes geuenge to god to helpe oure neyboures at their nede / for which oure neyboures and ech of them owe vs as moch agayne at oure nede. So that the testament of forgeuenesse of synnes / is bylt vppon faith in christes bloude and not on workes.

Master More wyll runne to the pope for forgeuenesse a pena & culpa.
