honour_v we_o with_o thy_o holy_a word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o have_v among_o we_o hundred_o and_o thousand_o who_o thou_o have_v separate_v from_o the_o sinful_a mass_n of_o mankind_n and_o

the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n therefore_o our_o faith_n bid_v we_o believe_v and_o the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o thy_o covenant_n cause_v we_o to_o hope_v that_o thou_o will_v chastise_v

to_o call_v to_o mind_v thy_o covenant_n whereby_o thou_o have_v bind_v thyself_o to_o be_v our_o god_n and_o to_o take_v we_o to_o be_v thy_o people_n and_o never_o to_o forsake_v we_o although_o

of_o all_o plague_n and_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o this_o plague_n therefore_o we_o cry_v and_o pray_v with_o thy_o holy_a prophet_n lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o heal_v our_o soul_n which_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o then_o we_o beseech_v thou_o thou_o god_n of_o compassion_n look_v in_o mercy_n upon_o this_o land_n make_v we_o not_o like_o sodom_n gomorrha_n as_o we_o have_v

o_o lord_n and_o beseech_v thou_o be_v merciful_a to_o this_o land_n thou_o be_v our_o father_n and_o we_o have_v foul_o offend_v therefore_o thou_o must_v needs_o correct_v we_o or_o else_o thou_o

be_v all_o consume_v and_o forasmuch_o as_o correction_n be_v to_o work_v our_o not_o only_a humiliation_n but_o reformation_n also_o we_o beg_v not_o the_o remove_n of_o thy_o judgement_n till_o it_o have_v wrought_v thy_o work_n and_o not_o only_o bring_v we_o down_o under_o thy_o hand_n but_o even_o purge_v our_o heart_n and_o renew_v the_o face_n of_o our_o church_n &_o commonwealth_n and_o see_v till_o then_o o_o lord_n we_o neither_o may_v expect_v nor_o dare_v desire_n thou_o shall_v remove_v it_o we_o beseech_v thou_o to_o prepare_v we_o all_o to_o be_v both_o willing_a and_o ready_a
