The which I pray God long to continue, as I am most bound to pray ; for I do know the great pains and troubles...

Pàgina 124 - I nothing malign for that you have done to me, but the eternal God forgive you my death, as I do; I shall never sue to the king for life, howbeit he is a gracious prince, and more grace may come from him than I desire. I desire you, my lords, and all my fellows to pray for me.
