corruption and troubled in recounting thy sinnes to him that cannot forgiue thée Wherefore cast thy selfe on me onely and I will deliuer thee for if a thousand yeares thou wouldest search thy selfe and bee confessed of ten thousand thou shalt not be cleansed Quando enim exhauries Abissum Therefore commit thy selfe to mee onely I will make thee safe whensoeuer with all diligence thou shalt goe about to confesse thy fault let mee alone with Mercy to thee acknowledge that thou canst not cleanse thy selfe say that thou haddest need of my mercy confesse that thou canst not answere one word to a thousand thinges wherewith I might charge thee but art in euery worke vnsufficient and hast need of my Mercie Wherefore trust not to thy Confessions but in my Mercy for by it thou shalt be iustified And whilest thou art too much conuersant in the care of thy sinnes thou mightest turne vnto me and enioy my gratious presence Doest thou not note the subtlety of the enemie To this end hee suggesteth thee with the number of thy sins and thoughts of thy wickednesse that thou mightest neglect things to thée more wholesome Know thou this therfore chiefly that my delight is that thou shouldest thinke of my goodnesse séeke mée in simplenesse Thou shalt finde mée gentle godly full of compassion and chiefe in mercy trust in mée hope in mée séeke my fauour séeke my friendshippe and familiarity and for the better obtaining of these direct thy exercise in holinesse Thou shalt vndoubtedly féele a farre more beautifull fruit if thou diligentlie care how to loue please and follow me then by brusing thy selfe with scruples of thy confessions for déeming to search out and abolish doubts thou doest rather engender to thée doubtfuller things thou canst not think me too pittifull or mercifull so that thou doe not presume vpon my mercies neyther canst thou giue mee ouer much credite Wherefore accustome thy selfe to thinke well of me and belieue that I will not condemne thée For truly whosoeuer is willing to correct his life and despayreth not him will I saue I am well pleased O Daughter that thou art so sory thou hast offēded and that thou wilt not sinne hereafter Now thou art in State of saluation why fearest thou I am rich in infinite mercies Thus thinke of me for therby thou doest mee more hodour then if thou diddest imagine me cruell and hard or shouldest so much feare as though I watched onely to intrappe men in this or that doubt or circumstance they had omitted But yet when any great offence cōmeth in thy minde confesse thy fault with al humilty and sorrow of hart and desire grace to amend and after rest in peace and cast all the Diuelish doubts vpon me I desire thée I am willing to enioy thy friendshippe I require to bee loued of thee see therefore that thou answere my good will Vnderstand know and iudge thy selfe to be a sinner Say in many things thou hast offended that thou art most ingratefull a Rebell spitefull and blasphemous against thy Commandements and will And hereof so much humble thy felfe that thou dare not once lift vp thine eies before me since thou art full of loathsomnesse and abhominations There be certaine so esteeming their committed euils that they are moued with thē either to pleasure and delight or contrariwise to desperation or some such like inconuenience But thou when thou wilt thinke thy selfe a sinner and humble thy self shake off the dreams of thy sinnes and turne vnto me conferre with me touching thy sinnes and infirmities powre out thy complaints before mee reason with me accuse thy selfe to me of thy crimes committed so shall thy accusation of sinnes be conuerted into praier Wherefore when thou hast turned to mée plead thy cause in Prayer for by this means thy conscience shall bee made cleare and quiet thy affection also to me directed shall be by me inflamed But now of Satisfaction for Sinnes Imbrace this counsell That whatsoeuer thy hand is able to doe that instantly worke yet not with that mind or to that end as though therewith thou couldest make satisfaction for thy sinnes For to the accomplishing of this thou oughtest to thinke all thy workes too vnworthie and far vnable But do that thou canst euery way to please me whome thou hast offended desire me that with the merites of my passion and most holy life I will punish thine offences and satisfie my Father for them This humility this sure trust in me with which thou debasest thy selfe thy works and extollest me and my merites excelling the workes of thy satisfaction since that one droppe of my bloud is of more value to Satisfaction then al mans deserts which hath already made Satisfaction for the sins of the whole world Such humility allureth mee to thee and causeth mee to cōmunicate with thee the treasure of my merites Wherefore let this chieflie be thy study that thou neglect not my good pleasure but cōtinually to thinke on me desire me loue me and whatsoeuer I commaund and will diligently performe then if thou haddest infinit heaps of sinnes I will forgiue them all as fréely as if thou haddest but one neither is it lesse easie for me to forgiue many then few It is a maruailous thing that I will say but yet most true and certainely to bee beléeued if the whole worlde were a fierie Globe and in the middest of it were thrown a bundell of Flaxe this of his naturall effect should not so soone receiue the slame of fire as I will receiue the repentant and sorrowfull sinner to mercy for in that naturall act is required some tarriance though very little and peraduenture not to be perceyued but here is no tarriance at all betwéene the penitent and him that forgiueth betwéene the sorrowfull and him that heareth the sighes Thou therefore daughter reiect all inordinate feare desirous to please me with thy holy heart study to be holy for I am holy willingly offēd not though in neuer so little or light a thing but shunne the occasion so much as in thee lyeth wisely withdraw thy selfe from the society of mans superstitious communicatiōs and from vnprofitable and euill occupations be not solitarie bée not idle spend the time thriftily to my honour occupie thy selfe in reading the Holy Scriptures where thou shalt find my Life and Passion Plant in thy heart my trouble Crosse and persecution walke before me in Holinesse with feare and reuerence perswading thy selfe that I am neuer absent from the Godly but doe instantly hold them diligently bridle and kéepe thy senses and tongue if thou loue much babling thou canst not profite embrace sobernesse and reasonable continences shun vanity and the pomp of pride sensuality and vnlawful pleasures sée thou follow not but diligently endeauour to keep thee vndefiled fight couragiously against vices faithfully pray to mee that thou mayest breake and ouercome the wicked passions and inclinations do as much as thou art able yet trust not to
