I have trifled away so many of my Youngest days without knowing thee or taking any notice of those strict duties which I did owe unto thee that I was so long a Child in all things excepting Innocence and that only by an over-hasty Spring of early Wickedness I was more than a Child But I Repent O my God I Repent I Accuse and Judge and Condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner III. Wo Wo unto me O God that as I grew up the seeds of Corruption which I brought with me into the world grew up along with me and by insensible degrees which I observed not Pride and Folly and Lust took Possession of me and Sin hath reigned in my mortal Body But I Repent O my God I Repent I am infinitely confounded at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner IV. Wo Wo unto me O God that being washed in the Waters of Baptism from the guilt of that Original Corruption which I brought with me into the World I have since that time so many ways actually defiled my self that I can no longer pretend by any former contract with thee that I am either a Child of thine a member of thy Christ or an heir of the Kingdom of Heaven But I Repent O my God I Repent I am utterly confounded at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner V. Wo unto me O God that having been received into the Bosom of thy Church which so many millions of Souls have not had the happiness to be I have ingratefully dishonoured thy holy Faith by an unholy Life and having so often confessed thee with my tongue I have denied thee in my life and actions But I Repent O my God I Repent I Accuse and Judge and Condemn my Self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner VI. Wo Wo unto me O God that having abjured the Devil and all his works and given up my name to Christ to fight under the Banner of his Cross I have on the contrary treacherously complied with his Enemy in many things and shall be found I fear to have been more diligent in serving him than I have been in serving thee But I Repent O my God I Repent I am confounded and astonished at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner VII Wo Wo unto me O God that being obliged by that high calling of being a Christian to renounce the Pomps and Vanities of the World I have so infinitely failed in this that I have doted on nothing more for those very Vanities have been my Idols and my seduced Heart hath gone a Whoring after them But I Repent O my God I Repent I am ashamed and confounded at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner VIII Wo Wo unto me O God that being farther bound by that most Solemn Vow utterly to forsake the sinful Lusts of the Flesh I have instead of forsaking them pursued and hunted after them and when other temptations have failed have been apt enough to kindle my own Fire and to be a Tempter to my self But I Repent O my God I Repent I hate and loath and abhar my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner IX Wo Wo unto me O God that knowing thy revealed Will to be the Law to which I was bound in all obedience to submit my self I like an insolent Rebel have not only set up my own Will in opposition to thine but many times preferred it before thine and have listned more to the false Oracles of Flesh and Blood than to all thy Holy Commandments But I Repent O my God I Repent I Accuse and Judge and Condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner X. Wo Wo unto me O God that being made according to thine Image the greatest honour that could be done thy Creature I have dashed so many blurs and spots and foul sins upon it so defaced all the lines and features of it that unless the Holy Spirit please to renew that Image in me again I tremble to think what I must one day hear Depart from me I know you not But I Repent O my God I Repent I am ashamed and confounded at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XI Wo Wo unto me O God that having received a Rational Soul from thee to be a Moral Light and guide unto my actions I have been so brutish as to follow my sensual appetite instead of it and have made no farther use of Reason than to find out vain excuses to cozen my own Soul into all the by-ways of Sin and Errour But I Repent O my God I Repent I Accuse and Judge and Condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XII Wo Wo unto me O God that being endowed with Memory to serve as a Magazine to treasure up thy Precepts and holy Counsels in I have stuft it so miserably full with the Idea's of former Vanities and Sin that I have left no room for thee at all But I Repent O my God I Repent I infinitely condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XIII Wo Wo unto me O God that having received a Heart from thee to be the seat of clean and holy affections and the only Temple for thy holy Spirit to dwell in I have so unworthily abused and altered the property of it that it is now become a Den of Thieves and an unhandsome receptacle of all uncleanness But I Repent O my God I Repent I hate and loath and abhor my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XIV Wo Wo unto me O God that my wretched Heart being corrupted my Imagination hath run wildly after with a swarm of vain and sinful Thoughts which like importunate Flies being driven away light again and again upon my destracted Soul and intermingle with the best of my Devotions But I Repent O my God I Repent I am infinitely troubled and grieved for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XV. Wo Wo unto me O God that mine Eyes being greedy after Vanity have been upon all occasions as open windows to let in Sin but when by the same way they should have issued out Penitential Tears to wash away the stains those Sins had made there hath been no passage found for them But I Repent O my God I Repent I am inwardly grieved and deplore my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XVI Wo Wo unto me O my God that for the entertaining of vain conversation I have left mine Ears too often open to light and vain and sinful discourses and in all my inquiries have hearkned more to what the world saith abroad than to what thy holy Spirit and my own Conscience saith within me But I Repent O my God I Repent I Accuse and Judge and Condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XVII Wo Wo unto me O God that I have not
