¶ The prayer of Manasseh kyng of Iuda when he was holden captyue in Babylon. [1]   

O Lord almighty, God of oure fathers Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, ∧ of the ryghteous seade of theym: which hast made heauen and earthe, wyth all the ornament therof, whiche haste ordeyned the sea by the worde of thy commaundem&ebar;t: whiche haste shut vp the depe, and haste sealed it for thy fearfull and laudable name, whiche all men feare, and tremble before the face of thy vertu, and for the anger of thy threatenynge, the whiche is importable too synners. But the mercy of thy promes is great ∧ vnsearcheable: for thou art the Lord God moost hygh, aboue all the earth, longe suffrynge, and excedinge merciful, and rep&ebar;taunt for the malice of men. Thou Lorde after thy goodnes hast promysed repentaunce of the remission of synnes: and thou that art the God of the righteous haste not put repentaunce to the righteous, Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, vnto them that haue not synned agaynst þe;: But because I haue sinned aboue the numbre of the sandes of the sea, and that myne iniquities are multiplied I am humbled with many bandes of yron, and there is in me no breathynge. I haue prouoked thine anger, and haue done euel before the, in committinge abhominacions and multipliyinge offences. And now I bowe the knees of my hert, requiringe goodnes of the O Lorde: I haue synned, LORDE I haue synned, ∧ knowe myne iniquitie. I desyre the by prayer, O Lorde forgeue me: forgeue me and destroye me not wyth myne inyquyties, neyther do thou allwayes remembre myne euelles to punysh th&ebar; but saue me (whiche am vnworthy) after thy greate mercy: and I will prayse the euerlastingly, all the days of my life for all the vertue of heauen prayseth the, ∧ vnto the belongeth glorie, worlde withoute ende. Amen.
