for mercie t that thou maist save me u I had perished hadst not thou which didst make me * renued me againe O how often would the Dragon x have deuoured me but thou O Lord my God y didst plucke mee out of his mouth how often have I sinned and how often hath hee been ready to swallow mee up z but thou O Lord hast defended me O Iesu my sweet Saviour a thou madest man at the beginning after thine owne Image b without sinne and therefore O Lord my God c it was not man but Satan that was the author of sinne and through his Diabolicall practice hee doth daily tempt me therewith O therefore hold him fast good Lord and bruise him in peeces d that hee exercise his devices no longer upon mee For my sinnes my grievous sinnes doe seeme so grim and ugly in my sight so base nad loathsome unto my minde and so venomous unto my body and soule that O Lord my God the very stincke thereof maketh mee weary of all my sinnes and utterly abhorre and detest them And therefore my life e my Redeemer f my light g and onely Saviour h I doe here from the bottome of my heart by thine assistance with all my force and might forsake and loath my sinnes And here I bequeath all my sinnes and every one of them unto Satan from whence they came and I will also both now and evermore by thy helpe O Lord renounce loath and defie Satan and all his workes both past present and for to come * and appeale unto thee O Lord my God h from thy seat of justice i unto thy throne of mercy k beseeching thee mine all and onely Saviour l whose armes were spread on the Crosse m to embrace mee and all penitent sinners n to have mercy on mee O Lord have mercy upon me Oh naile my sinnes unto thy Crosse and burie them in thy grave that they may never rise up in judgement against me Now what shall I render unto thee O my sweet and loving Saviour o for all that thou hast done for mee Sacrifices and burnt offerings thou wilt not have but a contrite and broken heart O Lord thou hast promised not to despise p Wherefore in token of my humblest devotion I owe unto thy most sacred selfe with all humility I will give my dearest love unto thee my sweet Iesus q which art my light r my way ſ and my salvation t and what gift can be better or more acceptable then my heart unto my Maker u that made and redeemed it x for it can finde no rest untill it come unto thee to bee refreshed with the sweet sight of thy chearefull countenance y wherefore my comfort z my Redeemer a my life b and onely Saviour c with all humility I prostrate my selfe before thy Majesty most humbly beseeching thee to take it oh take it for it is thine O Lord my God c it is thine Thou sufferedst thine owne heart to be pierced for it d and didst but lend it mee during thy pleasure and should I then detaine it from thee that hast so dearely bought it oh no no I will reserve it onely for thee To whom fitter may I bequeath my heart then unto thee my sweet and loving Saviour e which hast given thy selfe a ransome for it f Wherefore goe thou O my heart I have given thee unto God my Maker g and Redeemer h he created thee i and he onely shall have thee Now thou art in Gods keeping thou maist quietly passe thorow the gates of death there is neither disquieting with sorrow for sinne nor with sin which is beyond all sorrow thou art there without the reach of thine adversary Whilst thou wast mine thou wast a wandring faithlesse secure carnall and impenitent heart alwayes infected with the poyson of sin but being now thy Creators hee will apparrell thee anew adorning thee with the gifts of his Spirit that being here clothed with the ornaments of his grace thou maist bee transplanted unto the Kingdome of glory Vnto the which place the Lord of his mercy bring me through the mirits of his Sonne my Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ To whom with the Father and the holy Ghost he rendred all honour and glory power and praise might Majestie dignity and dominion both now and evermore Amen In this prayer I doe from the bottome of my heart with all humility confesse my sinnes unto my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ most entirely desiring him in his mercy to give me his grace to returne unto him by speedy repentance O Iesus Christ my sweet Saviour thou Sonne of God which art most holy and most mercifull have mercie on me O Lord for pity heare my prayers and grant me petitions I am a miserable and most wretched sinner which from the crowne of mine head unto the sole of my foot have no soundnesse in me but wounds blaines and putrifying sores of sinne which deserve thy wrath and indignation against me but sweet Lord have compassion upon me and anoint my wounds with thine oyle of mercy O Lord I come with a mourning heart and weeping eyes with my most earnest repentance Oh reconcile my poore wounded and distressed soule slaine with sinne unto thee O Lord my God upon the multitude of thy mercies and with a contrite heart with all humility even with sighes groanes and tears most lamentably bewaile my sinnes and openly confesse them unto thee O sweet Iesus to be more in number then the hairs of mine head or sands in the Sea Yet O my most mercifull Saviour I beseech thee forgive me O Lord forgive me and give me grace to returne unto thee by speedy repentance which God grant me FINIS a Gen. 17. 17. b Rev. 4. 8.
