Listen in the reader

“Who did not hate friends, life, and state,   with all things else for me, forsake and’s Cross up-take   shall never happy be. Well worthy they to die for aye,   who death than life had rather; Death is their due that so value   the friendship of my Father.“

Others plead for pardon from God’s Mercy and Justice.
