Seuen Sobs of a Sorrowfull Soule for Sinne. Domine ne in furore Psal. 6. The first part 1. O Lord when I my self behold how wicked I haue bin And view the paths and waies I went wandring from sin to fin 2. Againe to thinke vpon thy power thy iudgement and thy might And how that nothing can be hid or close kept from thy sight 3 Euen then alas I shake and quake and tremble where I stand For feare thou shouldst reuenged be by power of wrathfull hand 4 The weight of sinne is verie great for this to mind I call That one proud thought made Angels thine from heauen to slide and fall 5 ADAM likewise and EVE his wife for breaking thy precept From Paradise expelled were and death thereby hath crept 6 Vpon them both and on their seed for euer to remaine But that by faith in Christ thy sonne we hope to liue againe 7 The earth not able was to beare but quicke did swallow in Corah Dathan and Abiron by reason of their sin 8 Also because king DAVID did his people number all Thou Lord therfore in three daies space such grieuous plague letst fall 9 That seuentie thousand mē forthwith thereof dyde presentlie Such was thy worke such was thy wrath thy mightie power to trie 10 Alas my sins surmounteth theirs mine cannot numbred bee And from thy wrath most mightie God I known not where to flee 11 If into heauen I might ascend where Angels thine remaine O Lord thy wrath would thrust me forth downe to the earth againe 12 And in the earth here is no place of refuge to be found Nor in the deepe and water course that passeth vnder ground 13 Vouchsafe therefore I thee beseech on me some mercie take And turne thy wrath from me awaie for Iesus Christes sake 14 Lord in thy wrath reproue me not ne chast me in thine ire But with thy mercie shadowe me I humblie thee desire 15 I know it is my grieuous sinnes that doo thy wrath prouoke But yet ô Lord in rigour thine forbeare thy heauie stroke 16 And rather with thy mercie sweete behold my heauie plight How weake and feeble I appeare before thy blessed sight 17 For nature mine corrupted is and wounded with the dart Of lust and soule concupiscence throughout in eu'rie part 18 I am in sinne conceiu'd and borne the child of wrath and death Hauing but here a little time to liue and drawe my breath 19 I feele my selfe still apt and prone to wickednesse and vice And drowned thus in sinne I lie and haue no power to rise 20 It is thy mercie ô sweet Christ that must my health restore For all my bones are troubled much and vexed verie sore 21 I am not able to withstand temptations such as bee Wherfore good Lord vouchsafe to heale my great infirmitie 22 Good Christ as thou to Peter didst reach forth thy hand to me When he vpon the water went there drowned like to be 23 And as the Leaper clensed was bv touching with thy hand And Peters mother raised vp from feuer whole to stand 24 So let that hand of mercie thine make cleane the leprosie Of lothsome lust vpon me growne through mine iniquitie 25 Then shal there strength in me appere through grace my chiefe reliefe Thy death ô Christ the medicine is that helpeth all my griefe 26 My soule is troubled verie sore by reason of my sin But Lord how long shall I abide thus sorrowfull therein 27 I doubt not Lord but thou which hast my stonie hart made soft With willing mind thy grace to craue from time to time so oft 28 Wilt not now stay but forth proceed my perfect health to make Although a while thou doost deferre yet is it for my sake 29 For Lord thou knowst our nature such if we great things obtaine And in the getting of the same doo feele no griefe or paine 30 We little doo esteeme

soule whom sin so weake hath brought Whereby it wanted power to worke the good it long time sought 15 Shall then recouer that was lost and be reuiu'd againe And through the quick'ning of the spirit sinne shall no more remaine 16 Wherefore Thy face turne from my sins and wipe my faults awaie And eke all mine iniquities most humblie I thee praie 17 I meane the face of iustice thine where with thou doost behold The sinnes we dailie doo commit to punish manifold 18 This face good Lord turne thou from me and from the faults I make And them forget and me forgiue for thy great mercie sake 19 But Lord the face of mercie thine from me turne not awaie But therewithall behold me still and helpe me daie by daie 20 For what am I if that thy grace thou take awaie from mee A bondman vnder sinne and death and cast awaie of the● 21 And euerie man thy grace that wants shall haue an hart of stone As Pharao had after thy grace departed was and gone 22 He shall both see and heare indeed yet shall be deafe and blind His eares and eies shall stopped be the truth he shall not find 23 His hart likewise shall frozen be or as the stonie wall He shall thy creatures like and loue and loue not thee at all 24 Yea such a hart ô Lord in me long time hath taken place Which no waie can be mollifide but by thy speciall grace 25 Wherefore I praie thee hart●lie remooue this hart from me And Lord in me a new hart make that flexible may be 26 A fleshie hart both soft and meeke an hart that I may knowe Thou art the Lord without whose grace no goodnesse I can showe 27 This grace it is that must reuiue a right spirit Lord in me My spirit through sinne is crooked made and lothsome for to see 28 Make it vpright therefore to be and that decline it may From worldlie pleasures light vaine that vanish soone away 29 Vouchsafe ô Lord to heauenlie things my spirit may still aspire And with thy grace replenisht be most humblie I desire 30 Let neither yet aduersitie nor worldlie wealth also Plucke downe my spirit nor hinder it where it desires to go 31 Nor cast me off at anie time from presence of thy face Ne take from me thy holie spirit ô Lord in anie case 32 My sins good Lord behind thee cast there euer to remaine But cast not me from thy sweet face as thou didst wicked Caine. 33 Nor from thy fauour cast me so as thou didst cast king Saule For if that I thy presence loose I cannot choose but fall 34 O Lord how sweet and gratious is this thy spirit most pure It leadeth those that loueth thee where righteous folke endure 35 Grant Lord that this thy holie spirit may dwell within me still And me confirme in righteousnesse according to thy will The fourth part O Lord my God restore to me thy sauing helth againe And stablish me with thy chee●e spirit that it may still remaine 2 My sins ô Lord haue beene the cause that I thy grace did want And when thy grace departed was I found thy spirit but scant 3 The losse wherof did greeue me much and by the same I found All goodnesse gone all wickednesse within me to abound 4 For light and darknesse may not be at one time in one place No more may sinne and wickednes associate be with gra●e 5 Wherefore the greatnesse of my losse hath made my greefe the more And where in sinne I had delight I now repent it sore 6 Behold therefore most mightie God mine inward greefe of mind And of thy goodnesse me restore to that I cannot find 7 I meane thy holie sacred spirit which I through weakenesse lost Mine enimies were strong and fierce and cruellie me tost 8 So that my soule too feeble was their power for to withstand Good Lord in grace yet once againe confirme me with thy hand 9 And let thy spirit no more depart no Lord not when I die But that it may still with my soule remaine continuallie 10 Then shall I stedfastlie instruct the wicked in thy waie Whereby they may to thee returne that long haue gone astraie 11 I will my selfe put foorth ô Lord to sinners all that bee As an example them to cause for to returne to thee 12 I will not cease for to declare thy iustice euerie where And of thy iudgement bring them all in terrour and in feare 13 And then will I againe extoll thy mercies ouer all To plucke them from despairing Lord least anie therein fall 14 Thus shall I able to doo being confirmd in thee By working of thy holie spirit which thou shalt put in mee 15 Thy seruant Moses was afraid to go on message sent Till thou promis'dst to be with him when he to Pharao went 16 After which time he doubted not but foorth went on his waie Accomplishing thy holie hest as thou didst bid him saie 17 the seuentie elders of the host to thee whom Moses brought Till part of Moses spirit they had were able to doo nought 18 But after that they prophesied and did the people guide And ruled them with righteousnes and truth on euerie side 19 Lord Peter at a womans voice thy sweet sonne Christ denaid And readie was him to forsake he was so sore afraid 20 Vntill that thou reuiuedst him with this thy spirit of grace Yea Lord thy sonnes Apostles all were bidden for a space 21 To bide within Ierusalem in praier and in loue Till they were with thy holie spirit fulfilled from aboue 22 Wherfore send downe thy noble spirit in me the same to be And from the guiltinesse of blood good God deliuer me The fift part THou God that God art of my health deliuer me I praie From sinne that I committed haue against thee daie by daie 2 A multitude of sinnes there be from flesh and blood that growe Which I through my concupiscence haue dailie done I know 3 And this corruption is in me by nature as I find For what is he can make that cleane that is vncleane by kind 4 How can a man of woman borne be cleane I faine would know The child that is but one daie old is yet vncleane also 5 Thus flesh blood such works bring foorth as aie corrupted bee And therefore cannot heauen enioie ne dwell and reigne with thee 6 Vpon corrupted nature mine ô Lord powre foorth thy grace And from these bloods deliuer me and all my sinnes deface 7 Then Lord shall I be purged cleane from all my wickednesse Which grant good God So shall my toong exalt thy righteousnesse 8 In that thou mercie shewst to me being a wicked man Giuing me grace pensiue to be my greeuous sinnes to scan 9 Making me iust that am vniust wherein thou God art found In mercie truth and righteousnesse most perfect sure and sound 10 But yet ô
