Satisfaction to others and by not bringing forth Fruits worthy of Repentance we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By Impatience under thy correcting Hand by not endeavouring our Amendment by it in reflecting upon our Sins as the Causes of it by despising thy Chastisements in not rejoycing in Tribulations and not glorifying thee that hast counted us worthy to suffer for Righteousness sake we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By fretting our selves because of the ungodly and being envious at the evil doers by not loving our Enemies not blessing them that curse us not doing good to them that hate us not praying for

rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By those open or secret but still unmortified crying Sins of a wretched People which have so enraged a long suffering God as to deliver up our Glory the Joy of our Hearts and the Breath of our Nostrils into the Power and Malice of bloody Men to be assaulted with a Rage that reacheth up to Heaven we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By our fatal Stupidity under this Vengeance of thine our Want of Zeal of Courage of a due Detestation of so vile an Enterprize our not confessing of thee when we have been most signally called unto it we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By bowing our Shoulders to bear and crouching down with Issachar under our Burthens because the Land is pleasant and Rest seemed good unto us by not putting out our selves and restoring our Soveraign but neglecting that Prize that thou wast pleased lately to put into our Hands and forsaking our own Mercy we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By our too much Formality and Coldness in our Devotion by being wearied at the Return of our Days of Humiliation and secretly repining at the length and frequency of our Prayers by honouring thee with our Lips while our Hearts have been far from thee especially we of this Family have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By preferring Sacrifice before Obedience and by holding fast our Iniquities and yet thinking to be heard for our much speaking we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day Who can tell how oft he offendeth O cleanse thou us from our secret Sins Try us O Lord God and search the ground of our Hearts prove and examine our Thoughts and look well if there be any other way of Wickedness in us and lead us in the way
