thereof but hardlie brought to passe A thousand times we doo esteeme much more than th' other was 31 So Lord if thou shouldst at the first grant my petition The greatnes of offenses mine I should not thinke vpon 32 Wherefore my hope still bids me cry with faithfull hart in brest As did the faithfull Cananite whose daughter was possest 33 At least if I still knocke and call vpon thy holie name At length thou wilt heare my request and grant to me the same 34 As did the man three loaues of bread vnto his neighbour lend whose knocking long forst him to rise and shew himselfe a frend 35 Lord by the mouth of thy deare son this promise didst thou make That if we knocke thou open wilt the doore euen for his sake 36 Wherfore we crie we knock we call and neuer cease will wee Till thou doo turne to vs ô Lord that we may turne to thee The second part TVrne from thy wrath ô Lord of hosts and set my hart at large Oh saue me for thy mercies sake and all my sinnes discharge 2 Not for the merits I haue done ne for the works I wrought But for thy endlesse mercie sake and bloud which hath vs bought 3 The debt is great that I am in not able for to paie And how to recompense the same none other can I saie 4 But goodnesse thine must me acquit or else alas must I To prison where no ransome may set me at libertie 5 For why in death ô God of life no man remembreth thee And in the hell who giues thee thankes was none yet knowne to bee 6 The grieuous plagues and torments there so smarting be and strong That no man can haue mind on thee or thee confesse among 7 No time is there or space ne place repentance for to find But burning paines and torments sharpe to all be there assignd 8 Remembring this while I am here and doo this life possesse To thee ô Lord in humble wise I doo my faults confesse 9 And with a spirit all sorrowfull I doo my sinnes lament And sorie am euen from my soule I did such waies frequent 10 And am with groning wearie made through tast of manie feares The night I spend my bed to wash my couch to wet with teares 11 Not weeping to the sight of men as doth the hypocrite But in my chamber secretlie where I my sinnes recite 12 Not onelie with the teares of eies but teares fet from alow That is from bottome of my hart repentance great to show 13 And as my bodie I haue made a seruant vnto sin So will I now by power of grace delight no more therein 14 But will the same on thee bestow ô Lord and freelie giue To serue thee Lord in righteousnesse the daies I haue to liue 15 For in this bed of flesh and bloud and couch of sensuall life The soules of all from Adams fall haue laine in wo and strife 16 And this doth make our countenance or mind to changed bee For inward griefe of this our couch of sensualitie 17 For when we seeke therein to rest and thinke some ease to find It after turneth to our griefe and anguish great of mind 18 It is a serpent faire in face appearing to the show But in his taile a sting lies hid of endlesse paine and wo. 19 Mine eie ô Lord is troubled sore with extreme rage and paine And I among mine enimies doo weake and old remaine 20 The wicked feend mine enimie still seeketh to deuise Some matter of occasion to laie before mine eies 21 The world also doth drawe me foorth to follow hir delight My flesh to sensualitie runnes on with maine and might 22 The companie of wicked sort entise me day by day Thus I with them and they with me alas still run astray 23 These enimies I neuer can be able to subdue It must be thou ô IESV sweete most mightie and most true 24 Thou Lord which hast destroied deth the diuell likewise supprest Must giue me powre to ouercome whereby to liue in rest 25 Then vnderneath thy death crosse I shall my sinnes displaie And stronglie fight against my foes and boldlie to them saie 26 Awaie from me that workers be of wickednesse and sin For why the Lord hath hard my voice and seene my teares therein 27 You damned spirits and liuers lewd the members of the feend Awaie from me for now your power is brought vnto an end 28 Your prince maister of this world that hath me turnd and tost Is now cast out and all his power his might and strength is lost 29 Although you haue me long time held in prison and in thrall Yet are ye now cleane ouercome by Christ most strong of all 30 I that in darknesse erst was led doo now behold the light The Lord my praier sure hath heard my suie is in his sight 31 To thee ô Lord for grace I praid and thou heardst my request And sentst abundant dewes thereof vnto my quiet rest 32 I praid likewise that all my sinnes might cleane remitted bee And thou hast granted my desire and safe deliu'red me 33 Wherefore let all mine enimies confounded be with shame And that right soone and suddenlie ô Lord I craue the same 34 I know that all mine enimies shall vexed be right sore And that thou wilt put them to flight from henceforth euermore 35 For what long time they haue possest they lost in little space Through operation of thy power and working of thy grace 36 With wrong they kept which y● sweet Christ by bloud hast derelie bought And thou a mightie Champion hast turnd their power to nought 37 Lord I therefore thy seruant poore most earnestlie doo praie To guide my feete and steps aright in thy most holie waie 38 And that the feend mine enimie who seekes me to deuoure May neuer ouer my poore soule haue anie strength or powre 39 But as by grace I am restord to fauor thine againe So with that grace desend me Lord from euerlasting paine Amen Beati quorum Psal. 32. The first part O God I knowe by grace through faith the sinner is made iust Though we offend yet iustifide by grace through faith we trust 2 Which grace faith are thy good gifts which thou hast giuen vs free And thorough them the works we doo are made right good to bee 3 I therefore Lord my faults confesse by helpe of heauenlie grace And vtterlie my sinnes forsake and doo them all deface 4 Beseeching thee me to admit with those that blessed bee And to forgiue the trespasses which I haue done to thee 5 For blessed is the man in deed whose wickednesse and sin Is cleane forgiuen and couered as they had neuer bin 6 I will not hide my sinnes from thee nor seeke them to excuse But with my hart will them confesse and doo my selfe accuse 7 For Lord who goes about to hide his

O God thou art the guide of those th●t blinded bee and vnto 〈◊〉 that are opprest a succour sweet we see 2 A comfort to the weake as ease to those in paine A life vnto the dead in graue that sleeping yet remaine 3 O Lord this makes me bold though wicked I be found And ouerwhelmed deepe in sinne and therein being dround 4 To call and crie to thee from depth of miserie Where none but thou can raise me vp and safe deliuer me 5 I can but mourne and weepe fetch sighs lament and crie As dooth the woman great with child whose hower draweth nie 6 She no time can take rest till she deliuered bee Nor I till that my conscience feele to be forgiuen of thee 7 It is not distance long that keepes my praiers backe Thou Lord doost heare before we call and giuest what we lacke 8 Ionas was in the sea and in the fish three daies And from the deepe he cald on thee and streight thou didst him raise 9 Out from the deepe likewise of sinne and wickednesse To thee I call Lord heare my voice and free me from distresse 10 And let thine eares sweet Lord to heare attentiue bee The voice and praier of my plaint that now I make to thee 11 And since that Christ thy sonne hath suffered for vs all From endlesse death to which by sinne we bounden were and thrall 12 Let not my sinnes then Lord to me be stop or staie Whereby by plaint should not be heard nor voice when I shall praie 13 But rather wipe awaie my sinnes for euermore The burden of the which I feele
