which_o that_o you_o may_v the_o rather_o attain_v and_o get_v to_o your_o comfort_n as_o i_o have_v goone_o about_o to_o be_v a_o mean_a to_o stir_v up_o by_o goedes_n grace_n this_o desiae_fw-la

this_o part_n namely_o sorrow_n for_o your_o sin_n and_o hartye_n lament_v of_o the_o same_o for_o this_o if_o you_o desire_n the_o have_a of_o it_o you_o must_v beware_v that_o you_o think_v not_o that_o of_o yourselves_o or_o of_o your_o own_o free_a will_n by_o any_o mean_n you_o can_v get_v it_o you_o may_v easy_o deceive_v yourselves_o and_o mock_v yourselves_o think_v more_o of_o yourselves_o then_o be_v semelye_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o not_o piece_n of_o good_a thing_n but_o all_o good_a thing_n say_v s._n james_n come_v from_o god_n y_fw-fr e_o father_n of_o light_n i._n if_o therefore_o penance_n be_v good_a as_o it_o be_v good_a than_o the_o part_n of_o it_o be_v good_a from_o god_n therefore_o do_v they_o come_v and_o not_o of_o our_o free_a will_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o mortify_v ij_o that_o bring_v down_o that_o humble_v say_v the_o scripture_n in_o sundry_a place_n after_o thou_o have_v strike_v my_o thigh_n say_v jeremye_n xxxi_o i_o be_v ashamed_a ▪_o lo_o he_o say_v after_o thou_o have_v strike_v i_o and_o therefore_o pray_v he_o even_o the_o last_o word_n almoo_v he_o write_v turn_v we_o lord_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v turn_v v._n the_o which_o thing_n davyd_v do_v very_o often_o wherefore_o first_o of_o all_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v this_o part_n of_o penance_n as_o for_o the_o whole_a because_o it_o be_v god_n gift_n v_o act_n xi_o two_o timo._n two_o so_o for_o this_o part_n go_v thou_o unto_o god_n &_o make_v some_o lyttel_n prayer_n as_o thou_o can_v unto_o his_o mercy_n for_o the_o same_o in_o this_o or_o like_a sort_n merciful_a father_n of_o our_o savioure_n jesus_n christ_n because_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o do_v wicked_o and_o through_o thy_o goodness_n have_v receive_v a_o desire_n of_o repentance_n whereto_o this_o long_a sufferance_n do_v draw_v my_o hard_a heart_n i_o beseech_v thy_o mercy_n in_o christ_n to_o work_v the_o same_o repentance_n in_o i_o &_o by_o thy_o spyryt_n power_n and_o grace_n to_o humble_a mortifye_v and_o fear_v my_o conscyence_n for_o my_o sin_n to_o salvation_n that_o in_o thy_o time_n thou_o mayeste_v comfort_n and_o quycken_v i_o thoroughe_o jesus_n christ_n thy_o dear_o

thou_o beg_v it_o of_o god_n through_o christ_n and_o when_o thou_o haste_v ask_v it_o as_o i_o have_v labour_v to_o dryve_v the_o from_o tru_a in_o thyself_o so_o now_o i_o gooe_v about_o to_o move_v thou_o from_o flatter_a of_o thyself_o from_o sluggyshnes_n and_o negligence_n to_o be_v diligente_a to_o use_v these_o mean_n follow_v unto_o prayer_n which_o i_o will_v thou_o shall_v first_o use_v as_o thou_o can_v second_o get_v thou_o god_n law_n as_o a_o glass_n to_o toot_v in_o for_o in_o it_o and_o by_o it_o come_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o sin_n without_o which_o knowledge_n there_o

well_o toot_v in_o that_o be_v we_o must_v look_v in_o it_o spiritual_o and_o not_o corporallye_o or_o carnal_o as_o the_o outward_a word_n or_o letter_n do_v declare_v and_o utter_v and_o so_o our_o
