QV. ¶ Who ought to come to the supper of the Lorde AN. * Onely they that repent and are very sory that they haue angred God with their sinnes and yet trust that they are forgeuen them for Christs sake that the rest of their weaknes vnperfitnes is couered whith his death and passion who also desyre to go forward and grow more more in honest lyfe and conuersation But hypocrites false feigners of holynes they that repent not and wyl not amend their liues eat and drinke their owne damnation QV. ¶ Ought we also to allowe them to this supper which shew them selues to bée faithlesse and vngodly both in their owne confession and noughty lyfe AN. * No for so is the couenaunt of god vnhallowed the wrath of God is styrred agaynst the hole church Wherfore the church of God accordyng to the appoyntment of Christ and his Apostles vsing the keyes of the kyngdome of heauen ought to hold backe such from

the well out of the which al goodnes doth spryng and that all our care and labor also thy owne gyfts are vnlucky and noysome vnto vs except thou doo blesse them geue them increase Wherefore graunt vs to turne away our trust from all creatures and to put it onely in thée QV. ¶ Which is the fifte peticion AN. * Forgeue vs our dettes as we forgeue our detters That is for Christs blud sake lay not to our charge that are wretched sinners all our sins and that crooked frowardnes which cleueth in vs styl euen as we doo feele this wittnesse of thy grace in our hartes that we intende purpose stedfastly to forgeue vnfeignedly with our mind all them that haue hurte or gréeued vs or haue done vs any wrong QV. ¶ Which is the sixt peticion AN. * Lede vs not into temptacion But deliuer vs from euyl That is because we are so féeble weake of nature that we cannot one minute of an houre without help stand stedfastly and not be ouer throwne and our most greuous enemies the deuyl the world and our owne flesh vnsessably do fight against vs Thou O our almighty father hold vp and stay vs and strengthen vs by thy might of thy Holy ghoste that we fal not downe and bée ouercommed in this spirituall fight but so long we maye stoutly withstand them vntyll that we maye get at length the whole victory QVE ¶ How maketh he an end of this prayer AN. * For thine is the kyngdome the power and the glory for

more surely ha●d of God then I doo feele i● my hart that I desyre it to be granted ¶ FINIS A Prayer of the repentant person taken out of the workes of Erasmus O Most high creator and 〈◊〉 of all thinges when as I cal to remēbrance how greatly I haue stirred vnto anger thi maiesty with my sins I doe defye mine owne foolishnes When wey with my selfe how gentle liberal a father I haue forsaken I loth and crye out against mine vnkyndnes When I mark in how wretched a bondage I haue cast my selfe flyinge from such liberty and fréedome of the spirit that I had I doo condem my madnes and in alpoints mislyke my selfe Neither is there any other thing that appeareth before mine eyes but Hell fyre desperation while thy vnavoydable rightuusnes in punishīg of sin doth so mak my conscience affrayde But of the contrary part when I consider thy vnmesurable and infinite mercy which accordyng to the witnes of the Prophet passeth al thy works and whereby thou after a certaine maner art greater then thy selfe when as thou art gretest of al other by and by a certaine pleasaunt breath of hope doth refreshe my mynd agayne For why should I despayre to get forgeuenes of sinnes of him whiche so oft in the bokes of the Prophets doth fréely of hym self cal sinners to repentance crying that he wyl not haue the death of a sinner but that he should liue and furthermore because forgeuenes is alwayes in a redines to be graunted of thée to them that are penitent sory for their sinnes as thy only begotten son hath declared oft times by diuers lykenesses as by it of the loste
