O Eternal God most Gracious Lord and my most merciful Father thou art my refuge and my hope my sanctuary and my rock my guardian and protector all my daies I have offended thee and thou hast smitten me I have deserved very much evil and thou hast corrected me with the gentle visitation of a Fathers rod and though thy hand is heavy and thy rod presseth me sore by reason of my own weakness and infirmities yet when I consider how little I suffer in respect of what I have deserved I cannot but adore thy goodness and delight in thy mercies and run for help and comfort support and conduct from that hand which smites me O my God give me patience under thy afflicting hand for my impatience I feare hath provoked thee to anger and hath doubled my owne calamity and since my duty is my proper cure and will make thy hand easy and thy anger little give thy servant a quiet and a râ—signed a humble and a meeke spirit that I may not become my owne tormenter and my sin may not be my owne punishment II.
