forget them for euer Although the mother forget her childe or the childe his mother that bare him yet thou O Lord hast promised neuer to forget those that forsake their sinnes and come vnto thée for mercy O therefore swéet Iesu I entirely beséech thée that according vnto thy freée promises and according to thy most gracious Couenant thou wilt haue mercy vpon mée and cast mée not away from thy presence neyther let my long continued sinnes O Lord cause thée to hide thy face from mée For here I bowe the very knees of my heart vnto thee O God and kneele before thy presence all naked blinde wounded poore wretched and miserable hauing deserued many grieuous torments if thou shouldest enter into thy narrow iudgement with mee But sweet Lord haue compassion vpon mee annoynt my wounds with the oyle of thy mercy restore my sight clothe my nakednesse enrich me that am poore helpe mee vp that am weake O bid mee not farewell The infant ouercometh his nurse with crying the childe his mother with weeping the seruant his master by entreating O Lord my God I beseech thee be thou also intreated binde vp my wounds with the good Samaritane which like botches blaines and putrifying soares haue many yeares layne rotting stinking within me O helpe mee O Lord my life lest I perish in my wickednesse Poure in sweet Iesu the oyle of thy mercy and cause the sweet streames of thy pure water of life to flow out of thy cleare and continuall springing fountaine daily to be poured vpon me that it may bee comfortable to coole the heate of my thirsty and hunger-starued soule which continually thirsteth after thy mercies and bee medicinable to cure the spreading malady of Adams fall which infected my soule with the leprosie of sinne For I am like the wandring child that is not worthy to be called thy sonne O make me one of thy meanest seruants I am thy lost sheep O séeke and saue me And from the bottome of my heart I cry with the Prophet Dauid O Lord haue mercy vpon me and heale my soule for I haue sinned against thée And as Manasses K. of Iuda I confesse my sins to be innumerable but I beséech thée forgiue mée O Lord forgiue me and cast me not away with my transgressions as the poore Publicane I stand a far off dare not lift vp mine eyes to heauen but smite my breast crying O God be mercifull vnto mee a miserable and wretched sinner And with the woman of Canaan O Iesu thou son of Dauid haue mercy on me O Iesu of Nazareth O fountaine of mercy receiue thou my spirit O my life take my soule enter therein O my ioy that it may alwaies ioy in thee and giue me an heart to thinke on thée a minde that may loue thée a soule that may remember thée and a reason that may alwayes stick fast vnto thée that then O Christ maist dwell in my heart and be the very life of my soule whereby I may beheld the faire beauty of thée O Lord and make thée my chiefest delight m my sweet solace n my Lord God the very glory of my soule For thou O Christ art my Sauiour whom I will feare my Lord whom I will praise my God whom I will worship my father whom I wil honor and my spouse for whom I will kéepe my selfe Therefore O swéet Iesu I beséech thee cancell that great bill of my sinne thou hast against me for O Lord my God I was sicke and knew it not had vlcers rūning and felt it not I was obdurate and became as one that heard not Custome in sinne O Lord kept away all sense and feeling of sinne oft heard I thee inuiting by thy holy Spirit inducing mee to returne with the Shulamite but O Lord I cryed with the sluggard Yet a little and then a little presuming on thy mercyes and deferring my repentance which causeth my soule to bleed with griefe thereof Incline thine eares O Lord and heare open O Lord thine eyes and see behold O Lord how I that euer haue offended thee and neuer till now of late repented I that haue bin a rebellious child and seldome times giuen eare vnto thy word I that haue deferred my repentance from day to day am now come vnto thee O Lord my God with all humility in my daily meditations beseeching thee O sweet Iesu to be present with mee at the very houre of my departure out of this world and impart thy sauing health vnto me O vanquish mine enemy and purchase a triumph for mee by thy most gratious victory Oh hold him fast and bruise him in pieces that he exercise not his deuises vpon mee but giue mee thy whole armour O God that like a right souldier thou maist make mee able to resist my enemy in the euill day Oh therefore sweet Iesu whom my soule longeth for let me see thee O light of mine eyes O come Lord Iesu come quickely come Iesus my Sauiour my life my comfort shew mee thy selfe that thou maist comfort mee thy poore seruant which putteth my whole confidence in thee O thou ioy of my heart my soueraigne delight and my sweet solace I beseech thee againe and againe to be with mee at my departure out of this mortall life at which time I humbly beseech thee euen from the tender bowels of my heart to refresh mee with the sweet sight of thy cheerful countenāce vpon me that I may in no wise despayre nor depart from thee but with exceeding ioy desire thee who hast made me and neuer forsakest them that put their trust and
