divers_a of_o the_o learned_a catholic_n of_o our_o nation_n gentle_a reader_n have_v write_v sundry_a book_n in_o our_o vulgar_a language_n to_o inform_v and_o instruct_v thy_o understanding_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n and_o i_o also_o according_a to_o my_o little_a ability_n and_o slender_a talentes_n have_v not_o be_v want_v in_o that_o kind_n and_o diverse_a also_o have_v either_o translate_v other_o man_n book_n or_o publish_v their_o own_o to_o move_v and_o stir_v up_o thy_o will_n to_o piety_n and_o devotion_n who_o i_o desire_v to_o imitate_v have_v compile_v for_o thou_o these_o paraphrastical_a discourse_n upon_o the_o psalm_n miserere_fw-la in_o which_o i_o bring_v in_o the_o royal_a prophet_n david_n much_o lament_v bewail_a and_o rue_v his_o two_o great_a sin_n the_o murder_n of_o urias_n and_o his_o adultery_n with_o his_o wife_n bersabee_n &_o thereby_o i_o endeavour_v to_o move_v the_o will_n of_o all_o sinner_n to_o sorrow_v &_o repentance_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o amendment_n of_o their_o life_n these_o discourse_n i_o intend_v principal_o for_o great_a sinner_n who_o also_o still_o persist_v in_o their_o sinful_a state_n of_o life_n though_o i_o exclude_v not_o other_o sinner_n who_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o david_n sin_n be_v no_o not_o any_o the_o least_o sinner_n because_o though_o some_o sin_n be_v mortal_a some_o venial_a some_o great_a some_o lesser_a yet_o if_o they_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n which_o they_o offend_v no_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v little_a be_v they_o in_o themselves_o never_o so_o little_a and_o so_o they_o also_o may_v take_v benefit_n by_o these_o my_o discourse_n i_o have_v live_v long_o out_o of_o my_o country_n and_o so_o know_v not_o who_o be_v the_o great_a who_o the_o lesser_a sinner_n yet_o this_o i_o know_v in_o general_a that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v many_o &_o great_a sinner_n in_o england_n because_o where_o there_o be_v ill-beleever_n there_o ordinary_o be_v ill_a liver_n and_o where_o there_o be_v many_o believer_n as_o there_o be_v in_o england_n there_o be_v many_o ill_a believer_n true_a faith_n and_o belief_n be_v but_o one_o and_o consequent_o many_o ill_a liver_n true_a faith_n be_v the_o rule_n &_o square_v of_o good_a life_n for_o although_o sometime_o true_a and_o good_a believer_n be_v not_o good_a liver_n because_o they_o live_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o religion_n and_o sometime_o ill_a believer_n do_v live_v well_o morallie_o because_o guide_v by_o god_n his_o grace_n which_o be_v want_v to_o none_o they_o follow_v natural_a reason_n and_o their_o own_o virtuous_a inclination_n and_o disposition_n not_o the_o precept_n of_o their_o religion_n yet_o ordinary_o ill_a believer_n be_v not_o good_a liver_n &_o at_o least_o amongst_o good_a believer_n you_o shall_v find_v more_o good_a liver_n then_o amongst_o ill_a believer_n wherefore_o these_o my_o paraphrastical_a discourse_n and_o pitiful_a lamentation_n of_o king_n david_n who_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n and_o yet_o some_o time_n a_o ill_a liver_n but_o in_o this_o psalm_n show_v himself_o a_o true_a penitent_a i_o intend_v for_o all_o sinner_n as_o well_o catholic_n as_o not_o catholic_n and_o of_o what_o so_o ever_o religion_n i_o be_v debtor_n to_o all_o &_o because_o i_o will_v have_v they_o all_o to_o peruse_v these_o discourse_n 1._o rom._n 1._o i_o abstain_v from_o controversy_n in_o religion_n lest_o i_o shall_v avert_v any_o from_o the_o read_n of_o they_o only_o in_o paraphrase_v the_o last_o two_o verse_n of_o this_o psalm_n occasion_n be_v offer_v i_o speak_v of_o the_o unbloodie_a and_o daily_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o altar_n but_o so_o that_o i_o rather_o touch_v it_o then_o handle_v it_o mention_v it_o then_o treat_v of_o it_o suppose_v it_o then_o prove_v it_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o i_o may_v hope_v that_o this_o doctrine_n now_o will_v not_o be_v distasteful_a for_o see_v that_o now_o in_o england_n in_o very_a many_o church_n altar_n which_o heretofore_o be_v throw_v down_o be_v again_o erect_v according_a to_o the_o laudable_a example_n and_o pious_a use_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o catholic_a &_o even_o primitive_a church_n to_o aver_v a_o true_a sacrifice_n will_v not_o be_v ill_o take_v because_o to_o allow_v of_o altar_n be_v to_o allow_v of_o a_o true_a sacrifice_n which_o use_v to_o be_v offer_v on_o they_o a_o altar_n and_o a_o true_a &_o proper_a sacrifice_n be_v correlative_n of_o which_o the_o one_o infer_v the_o other_o and_o so_o the_o one_o can_v not_o be_v aver_v without_o the_o other_o nor_o the_o one_o deny_v without_o the_o other_o and_o although_o as_o i_o say_v there_o want_n not_o book_n of_o piety_n &_o devotion_n in_o england_n to_o move_v the_o good_a to_o devotion_n piety_n and_o good_a life_n &_o sinner_n also_o to_o repentance_n the_o beginning_n after_o faith_n of_o all_o good_a life_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o therefore_o be_v silent_a rather_o by_o the_o example_n of_o other_o writer_n i_o be_v encourage_v to_o offer_v my_o mite_n &_o my_o small_a endeavour_n also_o for_o the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n &_o to_o follow_v therein_o not_o only_o their_o example_n but_o the_o example_n also_o of_o my_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n for_o he_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o just_a but_o sinner_n to_o penance_n and_o he_o leave_v nintie_a nine_o in_o the_o desert_n 5_o luc._n 5_o to_o seek_v out_o one_o sheep_n that_o be_v last_o and_o he_o and_o his_o angel_n rejoice_v more_o upon_o one_o sinner_n that_o do_v penance_n 15_o luc._n 15_o then_o upon_o nintie_n nine_o just_a that_o need_v no_o penance_n and_o his_o apostle_n traverse_v the_o world_n through_o many_o storm_n of_o persecution_n to_o gain_v the_o soul_n of_o sinner_n and_o to_o gain_v they_o think_v it_o no_o loss_n to_o loose_v their_o own_o life_n and_o as_o sin_n through_o human_a frailty_n do_v so_o domineer_v in_o this_o life_n that_o as_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v 13_o psal_n 13_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o transgress_v all_o have_v decline_v &_o there_o be_v not_o one_o that_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o to_o wit_n so_o as_o not_o sometime_o to_o sin_n so_o nothing_o be_v more_o necessary_a in_o this_o life_n then_o penance_n it_o be_v the_o only_a remedy_n against_o sin_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o justification_n and_o salvation_n in_o paradise_n there_o be_v no_o penance_n because_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n that_o place_n be_v a_o place_n of_o innocence_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o penance_n because_o sin_n be_v a_o misery_n can_v not_o have_v access_n to_o that_o place_n of_o felicity_n in_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o true_a penance_n because_o though_o there_o be_v sin_n yet_o that_o place_n be_v a_o place_n of_o obstinacy_n and_o sin_n there_o be_v not_o pardonable_a but_o in_o this_o life_n and_o world_n penance_n be_v necessary_a because_o this_o life_n be_v subject_a to_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o life_n sin_n be_v also_o pardonable_a while_o the_o sinner_n live_v and_o therefore_o holy_a scripture_n inculcate_v nothing_o more_o than_o penance_n and_o repentance_n 6._o ezech._n 18._o math._n 3._o luc._n 13._o act._n 2._o hieron_n epist_n 8._o add_v demetr_v cap._n 6._o penance_n

of_o this_o last_o house_n more_o than_o of_o the_o first_o this_o be_v that_o at_o which_o david_n do_v aim_v this_o be_v the_o butt_n of_o his_o desire_n to_o wit_n god_n his_o honour_n and_o

thou_o shall_v then_o accept_v sacrifice_n of_o justice_n oblation_n and_o holocauste_n then_o shall_v they_o lay_v calf_n upon_o thy_o altar_n for_o although_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a

sense_n sacrifice_n of_o justice_n 7._o by_o this_o o_o my_o soul_n thou_o may_v learn_v a_o godly_a lesson_n that_o be_v to_o be_v zealous_a with_o david_n for_o god_n his_o glory_n &_o to_o prefer_v that_o before_o all_o private_a intereste_n to_o spare_v no_o cost_n nor_o labour_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v and_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o the_o mean_n to_o build_v a_o spiritual_a temple_n to_o his_o honour_n that_o be_v either_o to_o convert_v a_o soul_n or_o thy_o country_n to_o true_a faith_n and_o holy_a life_n by_o teach_v preach_v or_o writing_n of_o book_n then_o to_o set_v other_o on_o that_o can_v to_o encourage_v they_o to_o aid_v and_o assist_v they_o by_o thy_o mean_n as_o david_n encourage_v and_o assist_v solomon_n to_o build_v that_o material_a temple_n for_o so_o though_o thou_o thyself_o do_v not_o build_v this_o temple_n yet_o thou_o shall_v with_o david_n prepare_v the_o materialle_n and_o give_v the_o mean_n as_o he_o do_v to_o solomon_n his_o son_n and_o so_o shall_v be_v partaker_n with_o they_o who_o convert_v soul_n and_o so_o build_v to_o god_n a_o spiritual_a temple_n in_o which_o he_o may_v be_v honour_v with_o the_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n prayer_n praise_n of_o his_o name_n &_o the_o like_a england_n be_v english_a mens_fw-la jerusalem_n which_o they_o must_v never_o forget_v in_o their_o prayer_n 136._o

heretofore_o great_a and_o glorious_a now_o little_a and_o obscure_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n of_o state_n and_o former_a persecution_n must_v be_v their_o

respect_n and_o commodity_n 8._o but_o david_n no_o doubt_n in_o a_o allegorical_a sense_n have_v a_o far_a aim_n to_o wit_n at_o the_o church_n and_o temple_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o solomon_n and_o the_o verity_n of_o that_o figurative_a temple_n for_o david_n have_v a_o more_o explicit_a faith_n then_o the_o ordinary_a jew_n have_v believe_v explicitelie_o that_o the_o messiah_n christ_n jesus_n god_n and_o man_n be_v to_o come_v to_o save_v mankind_n &_o to_o that_o end_n be_v to_o build_v a_o far_o more_o auguste_fw-la temple_n than_o he_o &_o his_o son_n solomon_n can_v build_v &_o out_o of_o this_o zeal_n he_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o build_v the_o wall_n of_o this_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o plant_v this_o temple_n of_o his_o church_n know_v that_o this_o jerusalem_n and_o temple_n
