excellent benefite but of all power to be dulye thankefull for the same Wee haue blemished thine honour defaced thine Image brought a cursse vpon our selues and miserable thraldome vpon the rest of thy good creatures Wee haue left our selues nothing but miserie and wretchednesse shame and nakednesse nothing but mortalitie terrours of death fearefull expectation of iudgements and euerlasting confusion And albeit there be left vnto vs some reliques of vnderstanding as the candle-light of nature for direction by which we are able to discerne some few things vnder heauen yet when wee consider how some of our brethren made of the same mould are borne into the worlde naturall fooles and starke ideods who by due might challenge as much as the best of vs wee are thereby driuen to confesse that this small remnant of thine image is deriued vnto vs not by any right of inheritance but onelye by the indulgence of such a faithfull creatour who in the middest of thy iudgementes doest remember mercie Yet cursed creatures that wee are no sooner doe wee receiue a good guift of nature from thee but wee arme our selues thereby the more to worke mischiefe turning sweetenesse into poyson and imploying all the naturall powers and faculties of soule and bodye as instrumentes and weapons of vnrighteousnesse vnto wickednesse Insomuch as if thou shouldest not by thy prouident power binde in that bagge of poyson and restraine the roote of bitternesse within vs but shouldest suffer it to sproute out into the seuerall branches wee should too too soone bewraye what monsters we are Thus are we by nature plunged into the depth of woe and exposed vnto all miserie so that if all the plagues vnder heauen should zease vpon our bodies and send our soules headlong into those hellish torments we doe vnfainedly acknowledge that thou in thy iudgements might thereby reape honour and we our most iust deseruings Yet notwithstanding for all this we are encouraged to approach to thy throne of mercie as to a most gracious God and our louing Father in Iesus Christ O blessed be that sonne who hath taught vs to call thee Father in whose onely name and mediation we come vnto thee beseeching thee vpon our vnseigned repentance to be reconciled vnto vs. Wee repent O Lorde helpe our impenitencie wee are out of loue with our selues we detest our selues for offending such a gratious God we are sorrie for our sinnes and hartilie sorrie that wee cannot bee more sorrie yet accept our endeuours O Lorde and pardon our infirmities Teach vs more and more by thy holye spirite to make the true vse and application of the merites of thy sonne to our soules and consciences Let his humanitie encourage vs with confidēce to come vnto thee in the name of our elder brother Let his holy conception dayly purifie our originall corruption wherein wee were conceaued and borne that it neuer bring forth more of this corrupt and bitter fruite as it hath done in the course of our liues We haue multiplyed manye actuall transgressions and foule offences against thy diuine maiestie but yet thy sonne did neuer transgresse in all his life he was obedient to euery iote and tittle of thy lawe for our sakes looke vppon his righteousnesse We were slaues vnto Sathan but his passion hath redeemed vs bound with the chaine of sinnes but his condemnation before Pilate hath absolued vs borne to eternall death but quickned by his death to euerlasting life cursed creatures we were but his crosse hath blessed vs polluted and vncleane but his bloud hath washed vs. Let all the lusts and affections therefore of our olde man be buried with him that wee may be renewed in spirit by vertue of his resurrection and so shall wee haue the lotte of our heauenly inheritance daylye more and more confirmed vnto vs by his ascention and we secured of all blessings meete and conuenient for the militant estate of thy kingdome by his session at the right hand of the Maiestie Yea these woundes of our consciences which do now seeme to bleed afresh vnder thy heauie hand of visitation shall be suppled and healed vp by the soueraigne vnction of thy gracious spirit descending vpon thy Church and distilling from the head to euery liuely member of the same And seeing thou hast yeelded thus farre vnto vs most gracious Lorde we hope further that thou wilt not denie vs any temporall blessings which may stand with thy glorie and our comfort Then let this great death mortalitie which nowe reigneth bee swallowed vp in the death and passion of our blessed Sauiour Let his sweete Incense make a speedie attonement for vs Let it appease thy wrath which is gone out against vs and stay this plague that is begun amongst vs. O Lorde we haue deserued a thousand plagues wee confesse but wee are sorrie for it Holde thy hand therefore good father and we will doe no more so Lesse of thy iudgement sweete Iesus lesse of thy iudgment and more of thy grace that wee may make the true vse of thy iudgements so shall our happie deliuerance minister matter of praise and thankesgiuing in thy holy congregation to the eternall glorye of thy blessed name and comforte of thine elect children These thinges and whatsoeuer our vnperfect prayers are not able to expresse which thou in wisdome knowest to be needfull for vs and expedient for thy whole Church we humbly begge at thy hands for Iesus Christ his sake thy beloued Sonne and our only Sauiour and redeemer Amen ¶ Another directed by the line of the Lords Prayer to the same purpose O LORD our GOD most Our Father gracious and mercifull we giue thee hūble thankes for that thou hast vouchsafed to giue vs leaue to come so neere thy Maiestie as in the name of children to call thee Father Wee are astonished O Lorde at this great mercie that thou wilt acknowledge vs for thine owne children who are so vnlike the father vglie and deformed as Mephibosheth disobedient and profligate runagates who like the Prodigall sonne haue spent our time and wasted all thy good gifts and blessings in the vanities of this wretched worlde disloyall vnnaturall rebellious as Absolon who by our obstinacie and vnkinde actes by our most cruell and wicked attempts against so tender and louing a Father haue deserued a thousande vntimelye deaths Yet notwithstanding Dauid could bee no more tender in affection and loue towards Absolon then thou art ouer vs thy vngracious and wicked children Hee desired to haue dyed for his Sonne but thou haste giuen thine onely Sonne a thousand times more pretious in thy sight then Absolon could be in Dauids to dye for vs. How shouldst thou not then with him giue vs all things since by him thou hast made vs sonnes wee hope that in him thou wilt denie vs nothing And albeit wee doe nowe feele to our great griefe that we haue greeuouslie offended thee and that thou art highlye displeased with vs yet wee hope this thy correction will
