most_o wretched_a caitiff_n that_o i_o be_o i_o be_v desolate_a of_o so_o great_a comfort_n and_o cast_v out_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o thy_o eye_n woe_n be_v unto_o i_o from_o how_o great_a goodness_n into_o how_o great_a a_o mischief_n be_o i_o fall_v whether_o purpose_v i_o to_o go_v and_o whether_o be_o i_o come_v where_o be_o i_o and_o where_o be_o i_o not_o who_o do_v i_o study_v to_o attain_v unto_o and_o what_o evil_n have_v i_o obtain_v i_o seek_v for_o good_a thing_n and_o behold_v i_o have_v find_v trouble_n and_o care_n behold_v now_o i_o be_o in_o the_o state_n of_o

not_o to_o live_v they_o to_o live_v without_o life_n and_o thou_o oh_o lord_n jesus_n where_o be_v thine_o old_a mercy_n will_v thou_o be_v angry_a towards_o i_o for_o ever_o be_v pacify_v i_o beseech_v thou_o and_o have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o &_o turn_v not_o thy_o face_n away_o from_o i_o which_o to_o the_o intent_n thou_o may_v redeem_v i_o do_v not_o turn_v away_o thy_o face_n from_o they_o that_o rebuke_v thou_o and_o spit_v upon_o thou_o i_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o my_o conscience_n deserve_v damnation_n and_o the_o penance_n that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v amends_n for_o my_o iniquity_n but_o sure_a and_o certain_a i_o be_o that_o thy_o mercy_n exceed_v all_o offence_n that_o a_o man_n can_v do_v oh_o do_v not_o i_o beseech_v thou_o most_o pitiful_a lord_n write_v my_o heinous_a sin_n against_o i_o that_o thou_o shall_v enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n but_o according_a to_o the_o multitude_n of_o thy_o mercy_n cross_a &_o blot_v out_o my_o iniquity_n woe_n be_v unto_o i_o wretch_n that_o i_o be_o when_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n come_v &_o the_o book_n of_o conscience_n shall_v be_v lay_v wide_o open_a when_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v of_o i_o lo_o look_v upon_o this_o fellow_n and_o his_o work_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v then_o oh_o lord_n my_o god_n when_o the_o heaven_n shall_v revele_v &_o show_v forth_o my_o iniquity_n and_o the_o earth_n shall_v arise_v up_o &_o testify_v my_o iniquity_n against_o i_o behold_v i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o geve_v never_o one_o word_n to_o answer_v but_o to_o stand_v in_o thy_o presence_n tremble_v quake_a utter_o confound_v and_o hold_v down_o my_o head_n for_o shame_n alas_o wretch_n that_o i_o be_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v i_o cry_v unto_o thou_o oh_o lord_n my_o god_n why_o be_o i_o consume_v &_o fret_v with_o hold_v my_o peace_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v my_o grief_n will_v not_o cease_v and_o if_o i_o hold_v my_o peace_n i_o shall_v be_v most_o bitter_o vex_v within_o i_o mourn_v oh_o my_o soul_n and_o lament_v as_o a_o widow_n for_o her_o first_o husband_n that_o she_o have_v in_o her_o young_a age_n houle_z wretch_n and_o cry_v out_o with_o weep_v because_o thy_o spouse_n christ_n have_v forsake_v thou_o oh_o god_n almighty_a let_v not_o thine_o anger_n fall_v upon_o i_o because_o that_o if_o thou_o lay_v so_o much_o to_o my_o charge_n as_o be_v due_a for_o my_o sin_n it_o be_v so_o much_o that_o i_o can_v not_o receive_v it_o sure_o my_o power_n be_v not_o able_a for_o to_o suffer_v or_o bear_v it_o have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o lest_o i_o despair_n but_o in_o despair_v i_o will_v take_v heart_n to_o i_o and_o be_v somewhat_o comfort_v for_o although_o i_o have_v commit_v so_o much_o that_o thou_o may_v condemn_v i_o worthy_o yet_o thou_o have_v not_o lose_v that_o wherewith_o thou_o be_v wont_a to_o save_v sinner_n neither_o do_v thou_o rejoice_v at_o the_o destruction_n and_o loss_n of_o they_o that_o die_v yea_o to_o the_o intent_n the_o dead_a man_n may_v line_v thou_o thyself_o do_v die_v and_o thy_o death_n do_v kill_v the_o death_n of_o sin_n and_o if_o they_o be_v revive_v again_o &_o do_v live_v by_o thy_o death_n i_o beseech_v thou_o let_v not_o i_o die_v now_o that_o thou_o line_v send_v down_o thy_o hand_n and_o power_n from_o high_a and_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o my_o enemy_n that_o they_o rejoice_v not_o over_o i_o and_o say_v let_v we_o devour_v he_o who_o ever_o oh_o good_a jesus_n need_v to_o mistrust_v of_o thy_o mercy_n which_o when_o we_o be_v thine_o enemy_n do_v redem_n we_o with_o thy_o blood_n and_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n behold_v i_o be_v hide_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o thy_o mercy_n do_v come_v unto_o the_o throne_n of_o thine_o glory_n require_v and_o i_o do_v run_v cry_v and_o knock_v until_o thou_o take_v pity_n upon_o i_o for_o if_o thou_o do_v call_v we_o to_o pardon_v and_o forgiveness_n before_o we_o labour_v for_o pardon_n how_o soon_o shall_v we_o obtain_v forgiveness_n when_o we_o ask_v it_o do_v not_o remember_v oh_o most_o bountiful_a jesus_n thy_o justice_n towards_o a_o sinner_n but_o think_v upon_o thy_o liberality_n and_o gentleness_n toward_o thy_o creature_n do_v not_o remember_v thine_o anger_n toward_o the_o guilty_a but_o remember_v thy_o pity_n &_o mercy_n towards_o a_o wretch_n forget_v i_o in_o that_o i_o proud_o do_v provoke_v and_o move_v thou_o to_o wrath_n and_o look_v upon_o a_o wretch_n that_o call_v upon_o thou_o for_o what_o be_v jesus_n but_o a_o saviour_n therefore_o good_a jesus_n for_o thine_o own_o sake_n arise_v and_o help_v i_o and_o say_v unto_o my_o soul_n i_o be_o thy_o health_n &_o thy_o safeguard_n i_o presume_v much_o and_o be_o very_o bold_a of_o thy_o goodness_n oh_o lord_n because_o thou_o do_v teach_v we_o to_o ask_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o knock_v wherefore_o i_o be_v admonish_v by_o thy_o word_n do_v ask_v seek_v and_o knock_v and_o thou_o oh_o lord_n that_o command_v we_o to_o ask_v make_v i_o able_a to_o receive_v thou_o that_o give_v counsel_n to_o seek_v grant_v that_o i_o may_v find_v thou_o that_o teach_v we_o to_o knock_v open_v to_o i_o when_o i_o knock_v and_o confirm_v i_o which_o be_o unstable_a and_o waner_a restore_v i_o that_o be_o lose_v raise_v i_o up_o that_o be_o dead_a and_o

that_o i_o may_v commit_v myself_o unto_o thou_o i_o know_v oh_o my_o lord_n that_o through_o this_o that_o thou_o have_v make_v i_o i_o owe_v and_o be_o in_o debt_n unto_o thou_o even_o my_o own_o
