David exclaimed, when the youth was dead,
'Now thou saidst that thou killedst the king Saul;
be thy blood upon thee and upon thine head.'
The man who will confess his sins and make restitution,
he must grant forgiveness to all those per.sons
who have before angered him, even as it standeth in the Pater Noster,
and as Christ said in His gospel ; He said,
'Except ye forgive those men who sin against you
with your inmost heart, your Heavenly Father will not
forgive you your trespasses.'
Every Christian man must know his Pater-Koster, and his Creed.
With the Pater-Noster he shall pray,
and with the Creed he shall confirm his faith.
The master shall teach the unlearned men
the meaning of the Pater-Noster, and of the Creed,
that they may know what they ask of God,
and how they are to believe in God.
We must be ever increasing in goodness,
and every day increase for ourselves the eternal riches,
the while we may, because we cannot,
after our ending, do aught that is good,
but there we shall have reward of that which we have merited here.
No man may imagine, nor think in his mind
that. he hath done too many good deeds,
and need do no more of the like kind;
because he will lose the little that he before did,
if he weeneth that he need not thenceforth do
anything good, as if he were too good.
