pacient of muche mercifulnesse and truthe Which for thy aboundant charitie and according to thy greate mercie hast taken vs out from the power of darknesse and haste saued vs by the fountaine of regeneration and newe birth and the renuyng of the holie ghoste whoÌ„ thou hast shed vpon vs aboundantly by Iesu Christ our sauiour If I haue found grace and fauour in thy sighte Suffer me to speake a woorde vnto thee and bee not displeased with me Why doest thou euer forgette me and leauest me in the middes of my troubles and euilles Where is become thy zeale and thy strength Where is the multitude of thy tender affections of thy mercies O lorde maie not he whiche is fallen rise vp againe or maie not he whiche hath gone awaie froÌ„ thée returne to thee againe Shall my sorowe euer indure Shall my wounde bée vncurable and neuer healed How commeth it to passe that I tourne still awaie froÌ„ thee my synne daily increaseth and of my self I cannot retourne In as muche as it is not giuen to manne to direct his own waies neither to make perfect his own procedinges For in thy hand is the life of euery liuyng thyng and the spirit also of euery man Thou shewest thy mercie to whoÌ„ thou wilte and thou art gracious to them whom thou fauourest Thou doest kill and thou doest quicken Thou leadest doune to hell gate and bryngest vp againe Thy iyes beholde the wayes of euery man and thou searchest the hartes of men There is no place so secret or darcke wherein synners may hide theÌ„ selues froÌ„ thée Nor any maÌ„ may so lurke and hide hym self in caues but thou shalt se hym which doest fulfill both heauen and yearth in euery parte Why hast thou cast me awaie from thy presence and takest me for thy enemie Why hast thou laied vpoÌ„ my head the heauie waight of my sinnes seyng no maÌ„ is able to beare thy displeasure What meaneth it that thou sheweste thy power against a wretche Why destroyest thou me for the sinnes of my youth If I haue sinned what shal I 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 thee if my sinnes be increased what shall I doe If I doe iustly what shall I giue to thee or what shall thou receiue at my hande My wickednesse shal hurt myself and my rightousnes shall profite me The life of man is a temptation vpon the yeare â—â—and if I haue synneâ— as all men haue what maiâ— I 〈◊〉 Shall any man bee founde cleane and without 〈◊〉 fore thee or shall 〈…〉 without default in his dides How maie â— morâ— all man 〈◊〉 puâ—e from spirite 〈◊〉 sight 〈◊〉 how maie he which is borne of a woman â—ee righteous Remember O lorde I beseche thee that thou haste made me of the yearth and that thou shalte brâ—ng me againe into the dust of death My daies passe and vanish awaie like smoke thei waist daily there is no tarriyng My life flieth awaie as the wynde and considereth not that whiche is good I 〈◊〉 but lately â—orne into thiâ— worlde and shortly I shalbe taken away hence by death I neuer continue still in one state The daies of my life bee fewe and shorte thou haste appoincted an ende which I shall not passe Naked and bare I came out of my mothers wombe and naked and bare I shall retourne againe Tuely all men liuyng are vanitie Haue pitie o lorde on theÌ„ that are in miserie despise not the workes of thy haÌ„des Though we sinnâ— yet are we vnder thée for we know thy power and strength and if we synne not then are we sure that thou regardest vs. Cease thy indignation O lorde and turne it from me and caste all my synnes behinde thy backe Take awaie thy plagues from me for thy punishmeÌ„t hath made me bothe feeble and fainte For when thou chastisest a manne for his sinnes thou causest him by and by to consume and pine awaie Whatsoeuer is delectable in hym perisheth like vnto the clothe that is eaten with Mothes Would God I had one to defende me a while vntill thy anger were tourned awaie or that thou wouldest set me a tyme in the whiche thou wouldest remeÌ„ber me I am cleane caste awaie froÌ„ thy preseÌ„ce shall I neuer hereafter se thy face againâ— â–ª Behold I haue opened the griefes of my soule the daies or my sorowes hauâ— takeÌ„ me The flâ—uddes of triâ—ulation coÌ„passe me rounde about and the â—reaures of thy fury renne ouer me And I crie â–ª vnto thee O lorde God but thou heareste me not I aske mercie but thou reieâ—test my praiers Why thrustest thou doun 〈◊〉 wretche froÌ„ thy presence or why forsakest thou me so long tyme Why takest thou not away my iniquitie And why puttest thou not awaie the wickednesse of my harte Arise and tarry no longer O Lorde arise and â—eieâ—â—e me not for euer Haue me in remembrance I beseche thée for I throâ—ghly tremble shake for feare Yet I will not holde my tonge â–ª but crie still vnto thée with a mournyng an heauie harte Tourne awaie the stroke of thy vengeaunce from me bryng my minde out of troubles into rest I am here no longer continewer but a pilgrime and a straunger as all other mortall men be And what â—s maÌ„ that thou shouldeâ—â— beâ— angerie with him Or what is mankinde that thou shouldest be so heauie Lorde vnto vs What witte thou bryng folowe vpon sorowe I pant for paine and finde no reste My sorowe greeueth me when I should eate sodain fighes ouer whelme my hart I am as if my bones were all to broken when I heare myne enemies raile vpoÌ„ me and saie to me daie by daie where is thy Godâ— Why tournest thou thy face awaie froÌ„ these thinges O Lorde Why hast thou no regarde of my trouble I earnestly â—ake my prayers daiely 〈◊〉 thy sight and the heauinesse of my hart â–ª I doe shewe vnto thee My spirite is carefull and troubled within me and desperation hath entered into my harte Is it thy pleasure O lorde GOD to caste awaie thyne owne handie worke Deliuer my soule froÌ„ corruption and my life from euerlastyng darkenesse What auaileth it me that euer I was borne if thou caste me straight into damnation seyng that she deade shall not praise thee nor any of theim whiche goe doune to helle I haue synned what shall I doe to thee why hast thou putte me to bee contrarie to thee I am wearie of myne owne self Why searcheste thou out my sinnes so narrowly wheÌ„ there is no man that caÌ„ take out of thy hande If â— would say that I wer rightous and without sinne then thou mightest worthily condemne me to the fire prepared for the Deuill and his angelles But I confesse that I am a synner and I dooe humble my harte in thy sight Surely if any man would stande with thee in iudgement he shall not be able to answere one word to a thousande thynges wherewith thou mightest charge hym This maketh me to feare all my deedes knowing
