Lord omnipotent God of our fathers, Abraham, & Isaac,
and Iacob, and of their iust sede, which didst make heauen
and earth: with al the ornamentes of them, which hast
bound the sea with the word of thy precept, which hast
shut vp the depth, and sealed it with thy terrible and laudable name:
whom al thinges dread, & tremble at the countinance of thy powre,
because the magnificence of thy glorie is importable, & the wrath of
thy threatning vpon sinners is intollerable: but the mercie of thy
promise is infinite and vnsearchable: because thou art our Lord,
most high, benigne, long suffering, and very merciful, and penitent
vpon the wickednes of men. Thou Lord according to the multitude
of thy goodnes hast promised penance, and remission to them that
haue sinned to thee, and by the multitude of thy mercies thou hast decreed
penance to sinners, vnto saluation. Thou therfore Lord God of
the iust, hast not appointed penance to the iust, Abraham, & Isaac and
Iacob, them that haue not sinned to thee, but hast appointed penance
for me a sinner: because I haue sinned aboue the number of the sand
of the sea. Myne iniquities Lord be multiplied, mine iniquities be
multiplied, and I am not worthie to behold, & looke vpon the height
of heauen, for the multitude of mine iniquities. I am made crooked
with manie a band of yron, that I can not lift vp my head, and I haue
not respiration: because I haue stirred vp thy wrath, and haue done
euil before thee: I haue not done thy wil, and thy commandmentes
I haue not kept: I haue set vp abominations, and multiplied offenses.
-- --
And now I bowe the knee of my hart, beseeching goodnes of thee.
I haue sinned Lord, I haue sinned, & I acknowlege myne iniquities.
Wherefore I beseech disiring thee, forgeue me Lord, forgeue me: and
destroy me not together with myne iniquities, neither reserue thou
for euer, being angrie, euils for me, neither damme me into the lowest
places of the earth: because thou art God, God, I say, of the penitent:
in me thou shalt shew al thy goodnes, because thou shalt saue
me vnworthie according to thy great mercie, and I wil prayse thee alwayes
al the dayes of my life: because al the power of the heauens
prayseth thee, and to thee is glorie for euer and euer. Amen.
