vs for our bones are vexed Baruc. 3. Iona. 2. And now in the vexation of our spirites and the anguish of our soules we remember thee and we crie vnto thee heare Lord and haue mercie Dan. 9. For thine owne sake and for thy holie name sake incline thine eare and heare O mercifull Lord. For we do not powre out our praiers before thy face trusting in our owne righteousnesse but in thy great and manifolde mercies Wash vs throughly from our wickednes and clense vs from our sinnes Turne thy face from our sinnes put out all our misdeedes Make vs cleane hearts O God and renew a right spirit within vs. Help vs O God of our saluation for the glory of thy name O deliuer vs and be mercifull vnto our sins for thy names sake Psal 79. So we that be thy people and sheepe of thy Pasture shal giue thee thankes for euer and will alwayes be shewing foorth thy praise from generation to generation Glory be to the Father c. ¶ After this Psalme shal be saide by the Curate or Minister openly and with an high voyce one of these three prayers following At which time the people shall deuoutly giue eare and shall both with minde and speach to themselues assent to the same prayers humbly vpon their knees ❧ A Prayer conteining also a Confession of sinnes Which is to be said after the Letany aswell vpon Sundayes as Wednesdaies and Fridaies O Almightie most iust and mercifull God we here acknowledge our selues most vnwoorthy to lift vp our eies vnto heauen for our conscience doth accuse vs our sins do reprooue vs. Wee knowe also that thou Lord being a iust iudge must needes punish the sinnes of them which transgresse thy Lawe And when wee consider and examine all our whole life wee finde nothing in our selues that deserueth anie other thing but eternall damnation But because thou O Lorde of thy vnspeakable mercie hast commaunded vs in all our necessities to call onelie vpon thee and hast also promised that thou wilt heare our Prayers not for anie our desert which is none but for the merits of thy Sonne our onely Sauiour Iesus Christ whome thou hast ordeined to be our onlie Mediatour and Intercessour We lay away all confidence in man and doe flee to the throne of thy onelie mercie by the intercession of thy only Sonne our Sauiour Iesu Christ And first of all wee doe most lament and bewayle from the bottome of our hearts our vnkindnesse and vnthankefulnesse towardes thee our Lorde considering that besides those thy benefites which wee enioy as thy creatures common with all mankinde thou hast bestowed many and singular speciall benefites vpon vs which wee are not able in heart to conceyue much lesse in wordes worthily to expresse Thou hast called vs to the knowledge of thy Gospell Thou hast released vs from the harde seruitude of Sathan Thou hast deliuered vs from all horrible and execrable Idolatry wherein wee were vtterly drowned and hast brought vs into the most cleare and comfortable light of thy blessed worde by the which wee are taught how to serue and honour thee and howe to liue orderly with our neighbours in trueth and veritie But wee most vnmindefull in times of prosperitie of these thy great benefites haue neglected thy commandements haue abused the knowledge of thy Gospell and haue followed our carnall libertie and serued our owne lustes and through our sinnefull life haue not worshipped and honoured thee as we ought to haue done And nowe O Lorde being euen compelled with thy correction wee doe most humbly confesse that wee haue sinned and haue most grieuously offended thee by many and sundry wayes And if thou O Lorde wouldest now being prouoked with our disobedience so deale with vs as thou might and as we haue deserued there remayneth nothing els to be looked for but vniuersall and continual plagues in this world and hereafter eternall death and damnation both of our bodies and of our soules For if we shoulde excuse our selues our owne consciences would accuse vs before thee and our owne disobedience and wickednesse woulde beare witnesse against vs. Yea euen thy plagues and punishmentes which thou doest nowe lay vpon vs in sundry places doe teach vs to acknowledge our sinnes For seeing O Lord that thou art iust yea euen iustice it selfe thou punishest no people without desert Yea euen at this present O Lorde wee see thy hand terribly stretched out to plague vs and punish vs. But although thou shouldest punish vs more grieuously then thou hast done and for one plague send an hundreth if thou shouldest powre vpon vs all those thy testimonies of thy most iust wrath which in times passed thou powredst on thy owne chosen people of Israel yet shouldest thou doe vs no wrong neyther could wee deny but wee had iustly deserued the same But yet O mercifull Lord thou art our God and wee nothing but dust and ashes Thou art our creatour and we the worke of thy handes Thou art our pastor we are thy flocke Thou art our redeemer and we thy people redeemed Thou art our heauenly father we are thy children wherefore punish vs not O Lorde in thine anger but chasten vs in thy mercy Regard not the horror of our sinnes but the repentaunce thereof Perfite that worke which thou hast begunne in vs that the whole worlde may know that thou art our God and mercifull deliuerer Thy people of Israel often times offended thee and thou most iustly afflicted them but as oft as they returned to thee thou diddest receiue them to mercie And though their sinnes were neuer so great yet thou alwayes turnedst away thy wrath from them and the punishment prepared for them and that for thy couenant sake which thou madest with thy seruantes Abraham Isaac and Iacob Thou hast made the same couenant with vs O heauenly Father or rather a couenant of more excellencie and efficacie and that namely through the mediation of thy deare Sonne Iesus Christ our Sauiour with whose most precious blood it pleased thee that this couenant should be as it were written sealed and confirmed Wherfore O heauenly Father we nowe casting away all confidence in our selues or any other creature doe flee to this most holy couenant Testament wherein our Lord Sauiour Iesus Christ once offered himselfe a sacrifice for vs on the crosse hath reconciled vs to thee foreuer Looke therefore O mercifull God not vpon the sinnes which wee continually commit but vpō our mediatour peace maker Iesus Christ that by his intercession thy wrath may be pacified we again by thy fatherly countenance relieued and comforted Receaue vs also into thy heauenly defence and gouerne vs by thy holy spirite to frame in vs a newenesse of life therein to laude and magnifie thy blessed name for euer and to liue euery of vs according to the seuerall state of life whereunto thou Lorde hast ordeyned vs in godly feare trembling before thee And although
