faithful_a soul_n touch_v the_o present_a affliction_n of_o the_o church_n 1._o o_o lord_n our_o good_a god_n and_o gracious_a father_n we_o thy_o poor_a creature_n humble_v before_o thy_o face_n be_v bold_a to_o present_v ourselves_o before_o thy_o holy_a and_o high_a majesty_n although_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n thou_o dwell_v in_o inaccessible_a light_n but_o we_o by_o nature_n be_v

the_o poor_a we_o have_v array_v our_o own_o body_n sumptuous_o we_o have_v rend_v and_o tear_v ourselves_o with_o quarrel_n and_o enmity_n and_o be_v thereby_o become_v contemptible_a to_o our_o
