the austeritie of a iust Iudge but according to the compassion of a pitifull father and accept this mine earnest prayer which being conceyued in the bottome of mine hart hath disclosed it selfe by my lips and flyeth with my voyce vnto the fauourable care of mine heauenly Father seeing it hath pleased thee ô Lord to suffer me so to call thee Cause it ô Lord my God to pierce the heauens where thou thy selfe art I know right well that thy Throne is aboue and that thou keepest vnder thy feet both the Sunne and the Starres and the earth to be but a very tittle and my selfe being the least part thereof am a great deale lesse then nothing Who then shall dare to make me so saucy as to lift vp mine eyes vnto thee It is euen thou my God who sittest on hye to behold at once all the works of thine hands the better to vnderstand our wants and dayly to poure vpon vs thy grace as a most ●…eet showre Euen thou who hast thy selfe sayd Aske and yee shall be heard But thou wilt be prayed vnto with a constant faith cause it therefore to be borne and growe in my soule for it is a gift that cannot come but from the Treasu●e of thy grace and as at other times thou hast addressed the lips of infants to glorifye thee gouerne now the infancie and infirmitie of mine hart that it may deliuer vnto my mouth ●…ch a prayer as may very well like and please thee And because thou ●ayest know my God that my prayer is sooner conceyued in my soule ●en in my lips and that although the burden of my flesh greeueth and ●e●eth my spirit yet breatheth it our as much as it can thine honor and prayse And the first

wherwith thou hast confoūded ●ast down the enemies of thy people or else that wherewith thou hast blesse● all the nations of the earth Wilt tho● be praysed as the God of hosts ô Lor● God of all battailes or as the Sauiour and Redeemer of the world Shal● I tell abroad how thou hast made a●… things of nothing how thou hast sowe● the heauens with starres couered th● earth with flowres fruites riuers and with all liuing creatures and Man like vnto thy selfe Or shall I speake but of that incredible loue by which thou hast deliuered thine owne only Sonne vnto death to purchase for vs life euerlasting I haue not breath inough ô Lord for such an enterprise but let it content thee that I sanctifie thy name with an humble and cha●… thought and that my meditation be alwayes fixed vppon all the benefits wherwith it pleaseth thee continually to fauour me so as both my selfe and as many as thou hast placed here in this world as in the middest of a ritch Temple for the beholding and
