of_o the_o world_n o_o holy_a ghost_n the_o sweet_a comforter_n o_o the_o divine_a essence_n three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o most_o vile_a caitiff_n and_o miserable_a sinner_n i_o have_v offend_v both_o against_o heaven_n &_o earth_n more_o than_o my_o tongue_n can_v express_v whither_o then_o may_v i_o go_v or_o whither_o shall_v i_o fly_v to_o heaven_n i_o may_v be_v ashamed_a to_o lift_v up_o my_o eye_n and_o in_o earth_n i_o find_v no_o place_n of_o refuge_n or_o succour_n to_o thou_o therefore_o o_o lord_n do_v i_o come_v to_o thou_o do_v i_o humble_v myself_o say_v o_o lord_n my_o god_n my_o sin_n be_v great_a but_o yet_o have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o for_o thy_o great_a mercy_n the_o great_a mystery_n that_o god_n become_v man_n be_v not_o wrought_v for_o little_a or_o few_o offence_n thou_o do_v not_o give_v thy_o son_n o_o heavenly_a father_n unto_o death_n for_o small_a sin_n only_o but_o for_o all_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o the_o sinner_n return_v to_o thou_o with_o his_o whole_a heart_n as_o by_o grace_n first_o receyve_v from_o thou_o i_o do_v here_o at_o this_o present_a wherefore_o have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o o_o god_n who_o property_n be_v always_o to_o have_v mercy_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o o_o lord_n for_o thy_o great_a mercy_n i_o crave_v nothing_o o_o lord_n for_o my_o own_o merit_n but_o for_o thy_o name_n sake_n that_o it_o may_v be_v hallow_v thereby_o and_o for_o thy_o dear_a son_n jesu_n christ_n sake_n and_o therefore_o i_o continue_v forth_o my_o cry_n unto_o thou_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o my_o heart_n say_v our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n etc._n etc._n our_o father_n to_o none_o do_v this_o name_n father_n more_o true_o belong_v then_o unto_o thou_o o_o god_n our_o father_n for_o both_o they_o which_o have_v beget_v we_o foster_v we_o &_o do_v bring_v we_o up_o and_o also_o our_o spiritual_a pastor_n which_o do_v instruct_v we_o be_v call_v father_n but_o thou_o o_o lord_n be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o creature_n which_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n who_o thou_o have_v make_v of_o somewhat_o as_o thou_o make_v man_v but_o of_o nothing_o which_o none_o else_o can_v do_v these_o thou_o do_v feed_v and_o preserve_v which_o else_o shall_v return_v to_o their_o nothing_o again_o these_o thou_o do_v govern_v teach_v and_o stir_v up_o to_o do_v their_o several_a and_o proper_a office_n thou_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n therefore_o thou_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o but_o more_o special_o man_n who_o thou_o have_v form_v after_o thy_o own_o similitude_n and_o image_n thou_o do_v rule_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n as_o thy_o servant_n but_o man_n as_o thy_o son_n to_o other_o live_a creature_n thou_o have_v give_v out_o of_o thy_o plentiful_a storehouse_n good_a gift_n but_o upon_o man_n thou_o have_v pour_v they_o forth_o with_o full_a hand_n and_o have_v adorn_v he_o with_o a_o live_a soul_n of_o all_o gift_n one_o of_o great_a excellency_n thou_o do_v drive_v forward_o all_o other_o creatuer_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o certain_a secret_a spur_n but_o thou_o gentle_o teach_v and_o instruct_a us._n other_o creature_n thou_o do_v violent_o draw_v but_o we_o thou_o do_v fatherly_a teach_v and_o direct_v in_o all_o these_o fatherlie_a property_n we_o wonder_v at_o thy_o power_n and_o adore_v and_o worship_v thy_o wisdom_n but_o among_o all_o thy_o fatherly_a mercy_n there_o be_v one_o which_o with_o great_a delectation_n we_o consider_v as_o more_o profitable_a for_o we_o namely_o our_o

his_o father_n our_o lord_n which_o be_v a_o name_n of_o power_n but_o our_o father_n which_o be_v a_o name_n of_o love_n he_o conceal_v thy_o greatness_n and_o set_v forth_o thy_o goodness_n the_o soon_o to_o allure_v us._n what_o man_n consider_v right_o his_o vile_a nature_n and_o corrupt_a will_n dare_v call_v thou_o father_n except_o thou_o command_v he_o what_o ungracious_a and_o inferior_a servant_n will_v presume_v to_o call_v his_o king_n father_n except_o he_o be_v beside_o himself_o but_o how_o much_o great_a difference_n be_v there_o between_o thou_o and_o we_o then_o between_o a_o mortal_a king_n and_o a_o servant_n which_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o condition_n of_o nature_n but_o only_o in_o state_n of_o fortune_n we_o compare_v with_o thou_o in_o nature_n be_v most_o far_o different_a thou_o be_v the_o essence_n and_o the_o incompresensible_a fullness_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v all_o in_o all_o and_o we_o be_v utterlie_o nothing_o and_o in_o

and_o execrable_a state_n but_o thou_o be_v the_o most_o bless_a lord_n of_o al._n we_o be_v ignorance_n and_o darkness_n but_o thou_o be_v wisdom_n and_o light_n thy_o excellency_n be_v infinite_a &_o our_o shame_n and_o reproach_n more_o than_o can_v be_v express_v man_n mind_n be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v the_o difference_n between_o thou_o and_o us._n but_o thy_o only_o son_n have_v give_v we_o boldness_n to_o call_v thou_o our_o father_n that_o we_o by_o adoption_n may_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o that_o excellent_a dignity_n to_o be_v call_v son_n through_o his_o favour_n and_o grace_n which_o he_o alone_o in_o right_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n possess_v now_o how_o more_o néerelie_o and_o true_o be_v thou_o the_o father_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v baptize_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o that_o be_v purge_v and_o cleanse_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o thy_o son_n christ_n to_o who_o be_v reconcile_v with_o thou_o and_o receive_v into_o thy_o favour_n thou_o have_v

oh_o how_o often_o do_v we_o feel_v to_o our_o great_a comfort_n thy_o fatherlie_a goodness_n thou_o do_v give_v we_o light_v in_o darkness_n thou_o hold_v we_o up_o when_o we_o stumble_v and_o be_v

oh_o wonder_a clemency_n of_o thy_o son_n christ_n which_o vouchsafe_v on_o we_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o proper_a inheritance_n what_o will_v thou_o not_o give_v o_o father_n unto_o thy_o son_n now_o which_o thou_o shall_v think_v profitable_a for_o they_o we_o have_v attain_v the_o great_a gift_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v call_v and_o be_v indeed_o our_o father_n how_o then_o can_v we_o
