THE
FIRST
PART
.
Of
Confession
of
Sinnes
.
THE
ARGUMENT
.
The
Meditation
of
our
Sinnes
,
comprehendeth
in
it
these
two
heads
;
Of
originall
and
actuall
sinnes
.
Actuall
sinnes
,
are
committed
in
thought
,
word
,
and
deed
;
By
the
committing
of
evill
,
and
by
the
omitting
of
good
▪
Agaynst
GOD
,
our
neyghbour
,
and
our
selues
.
The
offences
of
our
youth
are
manie
,
and
our
daylie
infirmities
many
.
We
are
often
tempted
of
the
flesh
,
and
we
do
often
yeeld
vnto
it
.
Wee
partake
,
many
tymes
,
in
other
mens
sinnes
:
and
in
many
things
wee
are
defectiue
our
selues
.
Wee
are
convicted
of
our
sinnes
,
by
all
the
creatures
:
and
wee
behold
the
sexeritie
of
GODS
anger
agaynst
our
sinnes
,
in
the
Passion
and
Death
of
CHRIST
.
PRAYER
I.
Hee
weygheth
,
and
considereth
,
the
grievousnesse
of
originall
sinne
.
HOlie
GOD
,
and
just
Iudge
!
I
I
was
conceaved
and
borne
in
sinne
:
I
know
that
I
was
formed
the
law
of
sinne
in
my
members
,
beeing
repugnant
to
the
law
of
my
mynde
,
maketh
my
whole
nature
become
corrupt
and
perverse
.
I
wretched
and
miserable
man
,
doe
feele
the
power
of
sinne
cleaving
fast
to
my
members
:
I
doe
feele
the
yoke
of
wicked
concupiscence
grievouslie
pressing
me
:
For
although
I
am
regenerate
,
and
renewed
by
the
spirit
of
laver
of
baptisme
;
yet
am
I
not
as
yet
whollie
free
from
the
yoke
and
captivitie
of
sinne
.
For
that
roote
of
bitternesse
,
which
lyeth
hidden
in
mee
,
doeth
alwayes
desire
to
put
forth
new
branches
:
The
law
of
sinne
reygning
in
my
flesh
doeth
striue
to
captivate
mee
:
I
am
full
of
doubts
,
distrust
,
and
desire
of
myne
Out
of
my
heart
proceede
wicked
cogitations
:
Filthie
thoughts
defile
mee
throughout
in
thy
sight
:
Out
of
that
poysoned
fountaine
flow
foorth
rivers
of
poyson
.
Enter
not
,
therefore
,
into
judgement
with
thy
servant
,
O
LORD
;
but
bee
propitiou●
vnto
mee
,
according
to
thy
great
mercie
:
The
deepe
of
my
miserie
,
calleth
vpon
the
deepe
of
thy
mercie
:
For
mee
hee
was
borne
:
he
was
made
sanctification
,
&
righteousnes
:
For
me
therefore
he
is
become
purification
and
cleannes
.
Throgh
him
,
&
for
him
,
thy
Sonne
,
haue
mercie
on
mee
,
O
thou
most
highest
:
and
set
not
in
the
light
of
thy
Amen
.
PRAYER
II.
Hee
recalleth
to
our
memorie
the
sinnes
of
our
youth
.
HOlie
GOD
,
and
just
Iudge
!
Remember
not
the
offences
of
my
sinnes
that
are
past
▪
How
manie
venemous
fruits
hath
the
vicious
roote
of
concupiscence
,
that
is
inherent
in
mee
,
brought
foorth
!
In
my
chyldhood
what
an
innumerable
brood
of
actuall
transgressions
hath
the
evill
of
originall
sinne
hatched
!
The
verie
thoughts
of
my
heart
are
wicked
and
perverse
,
even
from
my
chyldhood
▪
yea
,
even
from
my
tender
infancie
:
For
when
I
was
an
infant
but
of
one
day
,
I
was
in
no
wayes
innocent
before
thee
.
As
manie
as
the
dayes
of
my
lyfe
are
,
so
manie
offences
doe
burden
me
;
yea
,
manie
more
by
farre
in
number
,
seeing
that
the
just
man
falleth
seaven
Who
knoweth
how
oft
hee
offendeth
?
cleanse
thy
servant
from
secret
faults
.
For
these
offences
of
my
youth
▪
I
offer
vnto
thee
(
holie
Father
)
the
most
holie
obedience
,
and
perfect
innocencie
of
thy
Sonne
,
vnto
death
,
even
the
death
of
the
crosse
.
When
hee
was
but
a
chylde
of
twelue
yeares
olde
,
hee
performed
holie
obedience
vnto
thee
,
and
began
to
execute
thy
will
with
great
alacritie
.
This
obedience
I
offer
vnto
thee
(
just
Iudge
)
for
a
pryce
and
satisfaction
for
the
manifolde
disobedience
of
my
youth
.
Amen
.
PRAYER
III.
Hee
reckeneth
vp
our
daylie
falls
,
and
slips
.
HOlie
God
,
and
just
Iudge
!
There
is
no
man
innocent
in
thy
sight
,
no
man
free
from
the
spote
of
sinne
:
And
I
am
bereaved
of
that
glorie
,
which
I
should
bring
with
mee
to
judgement
:
I
am
stripped
of
that
garment
of
innocencie
,
with
which
I
ought
to
appeare
arrayed
before
Seaven
tymes
,
yea
,
and
oftener
everie
houre
I
fall
:
seaventie
tymes
seaven
tymes
I
sinne
everie
day
.
The
spirit
indeede
is
sometymes
readie
;
but
the
flesh
is
alwayes
weake
:
The
inward
man
flowrisheth
,
and
is
strong
,
but
the
outward
man
languisheth
,
and
is
weake
:
For
I
doe
not
the
good
that
I
would
,
but
the
evill
that
I
would
not
.
How
often
doe
vaine
,
wicked
,
and
impious
cogitations
aryse
in
my
heart
:
How
often
doe
vaine
,
vnprofitable
,
and
hurtfull
wordes
breake
foorth
!
How
often
doe
perverse
,
wicked
,
and
vngodlie
actions
pollute
mee
!
All
my
righteousnesse
is
as
the
cloath
of
a
menstruous
woman
:
Therefore
,
I
dare
not
pleade
for
my
righteousnesse
before
thee
:
But
I
humblie
prostrate
my selfe
before
thy
most
just
tripunall
,
and
out
of
the
deeps
doe
I
cry
vnto
thee
:
Lord
,
if
thou
shalt
decree
to
impute
sinne
,
who
shall
abyde
it
?
If
thou
wilt
enter
into
judgement
,
who
shall
stand
?
If
thou
wilt
call
me
to
appeare
according
to
the
severity
of
thy
justice
,
how
shall
I
come
before
thee
?
If
thou
wilt
exact
a
strict
account
of
my
lyfe
,
I
shall
not
bee
able
to
answere
thee
one
for
a
thousand
:
Therefore
my
mouth
is
stopt
,
and
I
▪
acknowledge
before
thee
,
that
I
haue
deserved
eternall
torments
;
and
withall
I
confesse
with
teares
,
that
thou
mayest
justlie
cast
mee
into
prison
for
ever
.
Therefore
,
for
these
daylie
sinnes
of
my
lyfe
,
I
offer
vnto
thee
(
holie
Father
)
the
most
precious
blood
of
thy
Sonne
,
which
was
poured
foorth
on
the
altar
of
the
crosse
,
which
washeth
me
from
all
my
sinnes
.
My
sinnes
which
leade
mee
captiue
,
are
manie
in
number
,
and
most
powerfull
:
But
the
ransome
of
thy
Sonne
is
much
more
precious
,
and
of
more
efficacie
:
Let
that
most
perfect
,
plenarie
,
and
holie
pryce
payed
by
Christ
,
obtayne
for
mee
remission
of
sinnes
.
Amen
.
PRAYER
IV.
Hee
examineth
our
lyfe
,
according
to
the
rule
of
the
first
table
of
the
Commandements
.
HOlie
God
,
and
just
Iudge
!
Thou
.
Law
in
mount
Sinay
,
and
thou
wouldst
haue
it
to
be
the
rule
of
all
our
actions
,
words
,
and
thoughts
:
That
whatsoever
is
not
squared
by
it
,
should
in
thy
judgement
bee
accounted
sinne
.
As
often
as
I
looke
vpon
that
most
cleare
glasse
,
I
perceaue
mine
owne
filthinesse
,
and
tremble
everie
part
of
mee
.
I
ought
to
loue
thee
(
O
my
God
)
aboue
all
thinges
.
:
But
how
often
doe
I
loue
the
world
,
and
forget
the
loue
of
thee
!
I
am
bound
to
feare
thee
(
O
my
God
)
aboue
all
things
:
But
how
often
doe
I
consent
to
sinne
,
and
let
thy
feare
slip
out
of
my
memorie
!
Thou
requirest
,
that
I
should
trust
in
thee
(
O
my
God
)
aboue
all
things
:
But
how
often
in
adversitie
doeth
my
soule
waver
,
and
anxiouslie
and
carefullie
doubt
of
thy
fatherlie
goodnesse
!
I
am
bound
to
obey
thee
(
O
my
God
)
with
all
my
heart
:
But
how
often
doeth
my
refractarie
flesh
resist
the
resolution
of
obedience
,
and
leade
mee
captiue
into
the
prison
of
sinne
!
My
cogitations
ought
to
bee
holie
.
my
desires
pure
and
holie
:
But
how
often
is
the
quyet
state
of
my
mynde
troubled
with
vaine
and
impious
cogitations
!
I
ought
to
call
vpon
thee
(
O
God
)
with
all
my
heart
:
But
how
often
doth
my
minde
wander
in
prayer
,
and
doeth
anxioustie
doubt
,
whether
her
prayers
be
heard
or
no!
How
often
am
I
remisse
in
prayer
,
and
demisse
in
conceaving
confidence
!
How
often
doeth
my
tongue
pray
,
and
yet
I
doe
not
worship
thee
in
spirit
and
in
trueth
!
How
the
word
of
spirit
&
lyfe
:
But
I
through
sinne
and
corruption
haue
destroyed
the
worke
of
thy
holie
Spirit
within
mee
.
The
sparks
of
a
good
resolution
often
inkindled
,
I
as
often
extinguish
:
and
yet
I
doe
not
sue
to
thee
for
increase
of
thy
gifts
.
For
these
and
all
other
my
sinnes
and
defaults
,
I
offer
vnto
thee
(
O
my
God
)
the
most
pure
and
perfect
obedience
of
thy
Sonne
,
who
loved
thee
in
the
dayes
of
his
incarnation
,
most
perfectlie
with
his
whole
heart
,
&
cleaved
vnto
thee
most
firmlie
with
all
his
soule
:
in
whose
deeds
,
words
,
and
thoughts
,
there
was
found
no
blot
of
sinne
,
nor
spot
of
the
least
Amen
.
PRAYER
V.
Hee
considereth
our
lyfe
,
according
to
the
rule
of
the
second
table
of
the
commandements
.
HOlie
God
▪
and
just
Iudge
!
It
is
thy
eternall
and
immutable
will
,
that
I
should
honour
with
due
Hee
that
looketh
vpon
a
woman
,
to
lust
after
her
,
hath
alreadie
committed
adulterie
with
her
in
his
heart
,
sayeth
the
Text
:
How
often
therefore
in
the
sight
of
GOD
doe
wee
commit
adulterie
!
The
inordinate
and
immoderate
vse
of
meat
,
drinke
,
and
wedlocke
,
often
stealeth
vpon
vs
,
and
maketh
vs
appeare
guiltie
before
thee
▪
if
thou
wouldest
enter
into
judgement
with
vs
.
Thy
holie
writ
requireth
,
that
in
bargaining
I
deceaue
not
my
neighbour
in
anie
sort
;
but
that
I
rather
further
,
and
procure
his
good
;
that
I
traduce
not
his
faults
,
but
rather
cover
than
with
the
cloake
of
charitie
;
and
that
I
doe
not
censure
him
rashlie
&
vnadvisedlie
:
But
how
often
doe
I
seeke
mine
own
profite
by
injustice
!
How
often
doe
I
spend
my
judgement
rashlie
vpon
my
neighbour
!
Thy
holie
will
requireth
,
that
my
spirit
,
minde
,
&
soule
be
free
from
concupiscence
:
But
how
often
doth
my
flesh
solicite
mee
to
sinne
,
and
contaminateth
my
spirit
with
wicked
concupiscences
!
As
a
fountayne
doeth
abound
with
continuall
bubbling
of
water
:
So
doeth
my
heart
alwayes
swell
with
evill
concupiscence
.
For
these
,
and
all
other
my
sinnes
and
defects
,
I
offer
vnto
thee
(
most
holie
Father
)
the
most
perfect
obedience
of
thy
Sonne
,
who
loved
all
men
with
perfect
in
whose
mouth
was
found
no
guyle
,
in
whose
words
and
deeds
no
aberrations
,
no
corruption
in
nature

To
this
propitiation
I
flee
with
true
fayth

and
by
fayth
I
sucke
out
Amen
.
PRAYER
VI.
Hee
showeth
that
wee
often
partake
in
other
mens
sinnes
.
HOlie
God
,
and
just
Iudge
!
Thou
hast
committed
vnto
mee
,
not
only
the
care
of
mine
own
soule
,
but
also
the
care
of
my
neighbours
:
But
how
often
doeth
my
neyghbour
through
my
negligence
suffer
great
losse
of
godlinesse
!
How
often
doe
I
neglect
freelie
and
boldlie
to
chyde
him
,
when
hee
sinneth
!
How
often
doe
I
,
being
hindred
eyther
by
favour
or
feare
,
reproue
him
for
his
sinnes
more
slightlie
than
I
ought
!
require
at
my
hands
the
blood
of
my
neyghbour
that
perisheth
.
If
there
were
in
mee
a
perfect
and
sincere
loue
of
my
neyghbour
,
surelie
from
thence
would
proceed
freedome
in
reproving
of
sinne
.
If
the
fire
of
sincere
charitie
did
burne
in
my
heart
,
surelie
it
would
breake
foorth
more
clearlie
into
the
spirituall
incense
of
prayers
,
to
be
made
for
the
salvation
of
my
neyghbours
.
For
a
man
to
pray
for
himselfe
,
it
is
a
duetie
of
necessitie
:
But
to
pray
for
the
salvation
of
his
neyghbour
,
it
is
a
deede
of
charitie
:
As
often
therefore
,
as
I
neglect
to
pray
for
the
salvation
of
my
neyghbour
,
so
often
I
condemne
my selfe
for
the
breach
of
the
commandement
of
the
loue
of
my
neighbour
.
My
neighbour
dieth
the
death
of
the
bodie
,
and
sorrow
filleth
all
with
lamentation
and
mourning
;
when
as
yet
the
death
of
the
bodie
bringeth
no
hurt
to
a
godlie
man
,
but
rather
giveth
him
a
passage
into
a
celestiall
countrey
:
My
neighbour
dieth
the
death
of
the
soule
,
and
behold
,
I
am
nothing
troubled
at
it
:
I
see
him
die
,
and
grieue
not
at
all
;
when
as
yet
sinne
is
the
true
death
of
the
soule
,
and
bringeth
with
it
the
losse
of
the
inestimable
grace
of
God
,
&
eternall
lyfe
.
My
neighbour
delinquisheth
against
the
king
,
who
can
onlie
kill
the
bodie
;
and
beholde
,
I
seeke
by
all
meanes
his
reconciliation
:
but
hoe
sinneth
against
the
King
of
all
kings
,
that
can
cast
both
bodie
and
soule
into
hell-fire
:
and
yet
I
beholde
it
in
securitie
,
and
consider
not
that
this
offence
is
an
infinite
evill
.
My
neighbour
stumbleth
at
a
stone
;
and
I
runne
presentlie
to
saue
him
from
a
fall
,
or
otherwise
to
raise
him
vp
,
if
hee
bee
fallen
:
Hee
corner
stone
of
our
salvation
;
and
beholde
,
I
securelie
passe
by
it
,
and
labour
not
with
care
and
diligence
to
lift
him
vp
againe
.
Mine
owne
sinnes
are
grievous
anough
:
And
yet
I
haue
not
beene
afrayde
to
participate
in
other
mens
sinnes
.
Bee
propitious
(
O
God
)
vnto
me
,
great
sinner
,
and
overburdened
.
To
thy
mercie
I
flee
in
Christ
,
and
through
Christ
promised
vnto
mee
,
I
come
vnto
this
lyfe
,
beeing
dead
in
sinne
:
I
come
vnto
this
Way
,
having
gone
astray
in
the
path
of
sinne
:
I
come
vnto
this
Salvation
,
being
by
reason
of
my
sinne
guiltie
of
damnation
.
Quicken
mee
,
guide
mee
,
and
saue
mee
,
thou
which
art
my
Life
,
my
Way
,
and
my
Salvation
,
for
ever
and
ever
,
Amen
.

HOlie
God

just
Iudge

If
I
looke
vp

,
I
thinke
with

that

I

heaven
and
before
thee
,
I
am
not
worthie
to
bee
called
thy
sonne
.
If
I
looke
down
vpon
the
earth
,
I
thinke
with
my selfe
,
how
I
haue
abused
thy
creatures
by
my
sinnes
:
I
haue
infinitelie
abused
not
onlie
the
darknesse
of
the
night
,
but
also
the
light
of
the
day
,
to
worke
workes
of
darknesse
.
If
I
looke
vpon
the
examples
of
sinners
,
vpon
whom
thou
in
thy
just
judgement
hast
inflicted
punishment
,
I
finde
that
the
weyght
of
my
sinnes
will
counterpoise
theirs
.
If
I
looke
vpon
the
examples
of
the
Sayncts
,
I
finde
that
I
come
farre
short
of
them
in
my
holie
service
of
thee
.
If
I
thinke
vpon
the
Angell
my
keeper
,
I
finde
that
often
I
put
him
to
flight
by
my
sinnes
.
If
I
thinke
of
the
devills
,
I
finde
that
I
haue
often
given
place
to
their
suggestions
.
If
I
weygh
with
my selfe
the
rigour
of
thy
lawe
,
I
finde
that
my
lyfe
is
manie
wayes
irregular
.
If
I
looke
vpon
my selfe
,
I
finde
that
the
verie
cogitations
of
my
heart
doe
accuse
mee
before
thy
judgement
.
If
I
thinke
vpon
the
houre
of
death
to
come
,
I
finde
that
it
is
the
just
reward
of
my
sinnes
,
and
(
vnlesse
in
the
clests
of
the
rocke
,
that
is
,
in

of

was
scourged
.
wilde

If

If

that
it
wringeth

How
intollerable

O

In

How

How

THE
SECOND
PART
.
Of
thanksgiving
for
Benefits
.
THE
ARGUMENT
.
The
Meditation
of
Gods
benefits
,
doeth
gather
out
of
the
garden
of
nature
,
and
of
the
Church
,
sundrie
,
&
those
most
fragrant
〈◊〉
of
divine
gifts
:
and
recreating
it selfe
with
the
odour
thereof
,
offereth
againe
to
God
the
s●crifices
of
the
lips
,
for
a
savour
of
sweet
smell
.
Now
the
immense
and
innumerable
benefits
of
God
,
may
be
divided
according
to
three
articles
of
our
Christian
faith
;
God
hath
created
,
rédeemed
,
and
sanctified
vs
.
Hee
heapeth
his
benefits
on
vs
in
this
life
,
and
hath
promised
greater
vnto
vs
in
the
life
that
is
everlasting
.
Hee
conferreth
vpon
vs
the
gift
of
the
minde
,
of
the
bodie
,
and
of
fortune
,
which
wee
ca●●
externall
goods
.
He
preserveth
vs
from
evil
,
and
conserveth
vs
in
good
.
That
which
is
p●●t
he
covereth
,
that
which
is
to
come
hee
governeth
.
His
privatiue
blessings
are
more
than
his
positiue
.
In
brie●e
,
woe
can
neyther
in
word
expresse
,
nor
in
though●
conceaue
,
the
number
and
dignitie
of
Gods
benefits
,
which
will
afford
vnto
vs
hereafter
,
in
the
world
to
come
,
most
plentifull
matter
of
eternall
praise
and
thanksgiving
.
PRAYER
I.
Hee

ALmightie

I

thee
,
I
glorifie
thee
:
because
thy
hands
haue
fashioned
mee
,
and
made
mee
whollie
round
about
.
Thou
formedst
mee
lyke
clay
in
my
mothers
wombe
.
Thou
didst
draw
me
lyke
milke
.
Thou
didst
curdl●
mee
lyke
cheese
:
With
flesh
and
skinne
hast
thou
covered
mee
,
and
compacted
mee
together
with
bones
and
sinews
.
Thou
hast
given
mee
lyfe
and
mercie
,
and
thy
visitation
hath
preserved
my

.
This
thy
great
mercie
bestowed
vpon

,
I
will
celebrate
with
perpetuall
prayses
.
Thy
goodnesse
I
will
sing
of
in
continuall

.
Thou
didst
protect
mee
in
my

wombe
.
I
will
confesse
vnto
thee
:
For
I
am
wonderfullie
formed
:
Marvelous
are
thy
workes
,
and
that
my
soule
knoweth
right
well
.
My
bones
are
not
had
from
thee
,
which
th●n
didst
make
in
secret
,
and
deckedst
me
▪
with
divers
members
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth
.
Thy
eyes
saw
mee
yet
beeing
imperfect

and
in
thy
booke
were
all
my
members
written
,
which
day
by
day
were
fashioned
when
as
yet
there
were
none
of

How
precious
vnto
me●
are
thy

O
GOD
!
How
great
i●
the
summe
of
them
!
If
I
goe
about
to
reckon
them
,
I
finde
them
multiplied
aboue
the
sands
of
the
sea
.
Thou
didst
show
thy
mercie
vnto
mee
before
I
vnderstood
it
:
Thou
didst
prevent
me
with
thy
blessings
before
I
did
desire
them
:
Thy
bountie
did
embrace
mee
on
everie
side
,
before
I
could
giue
thankes
for
it
.
Thou
art
hee
who
not
onlie
didst
forme
mee
wonderfullie
in
the
wombe
,
but
also
didst
take
me
out
:
Thou
art
my
hope
even
from
my
mothers
breast
:
Out
of
my
mothers
wombe
I
was
cast
vpon
thee
:
Thou
art
my
GOD
from
my
mothers
wombe
.
As
often
as
I
thinke
vpon
manie
that
haue
beene
extinct
▪
and
never
came
to
the
light
of
this
lyfe
:
so
often
I
admire
and
prayse
thee
for
thy
mercie
,
which
brought
mee
out
of
that
prison
into
the
theatre
of
this
world
safe
and
sound
.
How
manie
yeares
are
past
in
which
I
was
not
,
and
yet
thou
didst
erect
for
mee
this
house
of
my
bodie
,
and
didst
bring
mee
out
of
that
bottomlesse
pit
,
and
the
darknesse
of
my
mothers

!
Thou
gavest
vnto
mee
a
reasonable
soule
:
Thou
madest
mee
a

not
a

or
a

To

O

How

is
the

Thy

made
thee
free

But
thy
infinite

vnspeakable

made
thee
debter

that
trespassed

It

It

I

Thou

These

They

But

vnlesse

Thou

Thou

Thou

I

But
thy

Alace
,
how
manie
doe
we
see
,
that
beeing
freed
from
the
yoke
of
sinne
,
returne
to
their
former
captivitie
,
and
beeing
brought
out
of
the
spirituall
Aegypt
,
looke
backe
agayne
to
the
pots

They
haue
fled
from
the
pollutions
of
the
world
,
by
the
knowledge
of
CHRIST
,
and
doe
wallow
agayne
in
the
same

by
And
it
had
beene
better
for
them
never
to
haue
knowne
the
way
of
righteousnesse
,
than
having
knowne
it
,
to
turne
away
from
the
path
of
the
holie
commandements
,
which
were
delivered
vnto
them
.
These
dogs
that
returne
againe
to
their
vomite
;
and
sowes
that
after
their
washing
,
wallow
agayne
in
the
myre
.
Whatsoever
hath
happened
vnto
them
,
might
haue
happened
vnto
me
;
but
that
it
hath
pleased
thee
by
the
grace
of
thy
power
,
&
the
efficacie
of
thy
holie
Spirit
,
to
enable
me
to
continue
in
that
which
is
good
.
The
same
wicked
spirit
that
vanquished
them
,
assaulted
mee
:
The
same
world
that
seduced
them
,
enticed
mee
:
The
same
flesh
that
overcame
them
,
allured
mee
:
Onlie
thy
grace
protected
mee
against
their
assaults
,
and
furnished
me
with
power
sufficient
for
victorie
.
Thy
strength
was
powerfull
in
my
weaknesse
:
From
thee
the
strength
of
the
Spirit
descended
,
with
which
I
was
enabled
to
bridle
the
assaults
of
the
flesh
.
Whatsoever
good
there
is
in
mee
,
it
descendeth
all
from
thee
,
who
art
the
fountaine
of
all
good
:
For
in
me
by
nature
there
is
nothing
but
sin
.
Therefore
,
as
manie
good
workes
as
I
finde
in
mee
,
which
notwithstanding
are
impure
and
imperfect
,
by
reason
of
my
flesh
;
so
manie
gifts
they
are
of
thy
grace
,
I
must
needs
confesse
.
For
this
thine
inestimable
gift
conferred
vpon
mee
,
I
will
giue
thee
thankes

eternall

eternall

for

but

with

Thou
which

teachest

If
Man
liveth
not
by

onelie

by

So
then
man
is
not
preserved

by

neither
is
he
preserved
from
diseases
by
Physicke

but
by
everie

that
proceedeth
out

Tranquillitie
of
the
mynde
preserveth
the
health
of

And
true

begetteth
tranquillitie
of

From
thee
(
O

all
true

all

Moreover
,
whatsoever

all

A
crust
of

is
not

vnto
my
deserts
:
How
much
lesse
then
are
all
these
externall
goods
which
thou
doest
heap
vpon
mee

They
are
called
indeede
the

of

:
But
they
are
in

in

the
gifts
of
thy

There
is
nothing
more
blessed
than
to
doe

and
to
bee
liberall
to

:
And
thou
hast
made
mee
partaker
of
this
blessednesse

by
bestowing
liberallie

Thou

that

Thou
hast
committed

Hee
rendereth

TO
thee
,
O
eternall

and
mercifull
God
,
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holie
Ghost
,
I
render
humble
thanks
for
that
thou
hast
washed
me
in
the
holie
laver
of
baptisme
from
all
my
sinnes
:
and
for
that
thou
hast
receaved
mee
into
the
covenant
of
grace
,
&
made
me
an
heire
of
everlasting
lyfe
.
I
acknowledge
it
is
thy
gift
that
I
was
borne
of
Christian
parents
,
and
by
them
brought
vnto
this
heavenlie
fount
.
How
manie
thousands
of
infants
are
borne
in
Gentilisme
,
and
without
this
sacrament
doe
die
in
their
sinnes
!
There
is
no
difference
in
nature
betweene
mee
and
them
:
Onlie
thy
superaboundant
grace
hath
made
a
difference
.
I
was
joyned
with
them
in
communion
of
sinne
:
But
I
was
separated
from
them
by
participation
of
thy
grace
.
How
great
is
thy
goodnesse
,
that
thou
diddest
finde
mee
,
baptized
in
thy
holie
Name
,
thy
blood
of
Christ
doeth
make
mee
cleane
from
all
my
sinnes
,
and
maketh
mee
whiter
than
snow
in
the
sight
of
God
.
O
eternall
God
,
thou
hast
made
an
eternall
covenant
with
mee
in
baptisme
;
vnto
which
I
haue
alwayes
recourse
by
true
and
serious
repentance
.
Thou
hast
betroathed
mee
vnto
thee
for
ever
in
judgement
and
righteousnesse
,
in
grace
and
mercie
:
Thou
hast
given
mee
an
earnest
and
the
heavens
were
opened
:
So
by
the
communion
of
the
same
baptisme
,
thou
hast
opened
vnto
mee
the
gate
of
paradise
.
As
at
the
baptisme
of
Christ
,
the
holie
Ghost
descended
vpon
him
,
and
a
voyce
from
heaven
did
testifie
that
hee
was
the
beloved
Sonne
of
GOD
:
So
by
the

I
am
made
a
partaker
of
the
holie
Ghost
,
and
adopted
to
bee
a
sonne
of
GOD.
For
which
inestimable
benefite

I
will
giue
thankes

thee
,
my

HOw

for

most
sacred

What

or
in
earth
of
more
pryce
and
excellencie
,
than
that
bodie
which
is
vnited
to
thy

personallie
?
What
more
certaine
testimonie
and
pledge
of
thy
grace
can
there
bee
,
than
the
precious
blood
of
thy
Sonne
poured
out
for
my
sinnes
,
on
the
altar
of
the
crosse
?
The
verie
pryce
of
my
redemption
thou
bestowest
vpon
mee
,
that
I
may
haue
a
most
certaine
testimonie
of
thy
grace
towards
me
.
As
often
as
I
fall
through
my
sinnes
from
the
covenant
of
baptisme
:
So
often
by
true
repentance
,
and
the
saving
vse
of
this
supper
,
I
am
restored
vnto

It
is
a

it
alwayes
enricheth

with
new

of
the

In
this
bodie
lyfe
it selfe
dwelleth
,
and
therefore
it
refresheth
me
,
&
quickneth
mee
vnto
everlasting
lyfe
.
By
the
effusion
of
this
blood
,
satisfaction
is
made
for
our
finnes
:
And
therefore
by
the
drinking
thereof
,
the
remission
of
my
sinnes
is
confirmed
vnto
mee
.
Christ
sayeth
it
,
Trueth
it selfe
sayeth
it
;
Whosoever
shall
eate
my
flesh
,
and
drinke
my

,
hath
eternall

and
I
will
raise
him
vp

which
descended
from
heaven
,
that
whosoever
shall
eate
thereof
,
may
not
die
,
but
haue
everlasting
lyfe
.
It
is
the
eating
by
fayth
that
Christ
so
commendeth

which
must
needs
be
added
vnto
the
sacramentall
eating
▪
that
so
that
which
was
appoynted
to
lyfe
,
may
bee
receaved

to

I
come
therefore
with
true
fayth
vnto
this
heavenlie
banquet
,
beeing
firmlie
perswaded
,
that
the
bodie
which
I
eate
,
was
delivered
vnto
death
for
mee
,
and
the
blood
which
I
drinke
,
was
poured
foorth
for
my
sinnes

I
cannot
in
anie
wise
doubt
of
the
remission
of
my
sinnes
,
when
as
it
is
confirmed
by
the
participation
of
the
pryce
which
was
offered
for

I
cannot
in

PRAYER

Hee
r●●nd●reth
thankes
to
God

for
preserving

TO
thee
(
O
eternall

mercifull
GOD
)
I
render
eternall
thankes
,
for
that
thou
hast
hitherto
preserved
mee
from
infinite
evills
and
dangers
,
and
hast
kept
me
safe
by
the
guard
of
thy
holie
Angells
.
Thy
privatiue
blessings
,
by
which
thou
doest
keepe
mee
from
evill
,
are
more
in
number
than
thy
positiue
,
by
which
thou
doest
conferre
good
vpon
mee
.
As
manie
evills
of
soule
and
bodie
as
I
see
in
others
;
so
manie
tokens
doe
I
see
of
thy
mercie
towards
mee
:
For
my
deliverance
from
those
evills
is
to
be
attributed
as
due
onlie
to
thy
goodnesse
.
How
great
is
the
power
of
the
devil
!
How
great
is
his
subtiltie
!
As
often
therefore
as
that
malignant
and
most
subtile
spirit
,
and
our
most
potent
adversarie
doeth
labour
to
doe
vs
anie
mischiefe
;
so
often
by
the
buckler
of
thy
benignitie
and
by
the
guard
of
the
holie
Angells
being
protected
,
I
haue
beene
able
to
escape
his
nets
.
But
who
can
reckon
vp
the
treacherous
assaults
and
invasions
of
the
devill
?
Who
can
therefore
reckon
vp
the
riches
of
thy
bountie
?
When
redst
,
that
I
may
bee
able
to
endure
and
overcome
all
the
violent
invasions
of
the
infernall
powers
.
Let
my
last
word
in
this
lyfe
be
the
same
with
which
thou
didst
consummate
all
vpon
the
crosse
:
and
receaue
my
sinnes
bee
covered
overwhelmed
in
the
bottome
of
the
sea
.
Let
my
soule
bee
bound
vp
in
the
bundle
of

that
with
all
the

I
may
come
into

THE
FOURTH
PART
.
Of
Supplications
for
others
.
THE
ARGUMENT
.
The
meditation
of
our
neyghbours
wants
and
indigencies
,
concerneth
the
common
good
&
welfare
of
the
Church
&
common-wealth
,
and
maketh
vs
looke
vpon
others
miseries
as
our
owne
.
This
is
the
first
of
true
and
sincere
charitie
,
which
bindeth
vs
all
together
into
one
mysticall
bodie
,
vnder
one
head
,
which
is
Christ
;
and
commendeth
vnto
us
a
serious
care
of
the
whole
Church
,
and
of
all
the
particular
members
thereof
.
That
is
not
a
true
member
of
the
bodie
,
which
laboureth
not
,
as
much
as
in
it
lyeth
,
to
preserue
in
safetie
the
whole
structure
of
the
bodie
:
That
is
not
a
true
member
of
the
bodie
,
which
suffereth
not
with
a
fellow-member
that
suffereth
.
And
the
same
reason
is
of
force
in
the
mysticall
bodie
of
Christ
.
Whosoever
therefore
is
a
true
and
a
living
member
of
the
Christian
Church
let
him
daylie
pray
:
For
the
conservation
of
the
word
:
For
pastors
and
people
:
For
magistrates
and
subjects
:
and
For
the
oeconomicall
and
houshold
estate
.
For
these
are
those
three
Hierarchies
,
and
holie
magistracies
,
appoynted
by
GOD
for
the
safetie
and
preservation
of
this
lyfe
,
and
for
the
propagation
&
increase
of
the
heavenlie
kingdome
.
Let
him
pray
also
For
his
kinsfolke
,
and
his
benefactors
,
to
whom
hee
must
acknowledge
himselfe
to
bee
bound
in
some
speciall
bond
of
d●etie
.
Let
him
pray
For
his
enemies
and
persecutors
,
and
seriouslie
desire
their
conversion
and
salvation
.
Let
him
pray
lykewyse
For
all
those
that
are
afflicted
and
in
miserie
,
and
show
himselfe
to
bee
moved
with
a
fellow-feeling
of
their
calamities
.
PRAYER
I.
Hee
prayeth
for
the
conservation
and
continuance
of
the
word
,
and
for
the
propagation
and

of
the
Church
.
ALmightie
,
eternall
,
and
mercifull
GOD
,
Father
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
that
by
thy
holie
Spirit
doest
gather
thy
Church
out
of
mankinde
,
and
in
it
doest
keepe
the
heavenlie
doctrine
committed
vnto
it
:
In
humilitie
I
adore
and
worship
thee
,
and
pray
vnto
thee
,
that
thou
wouldest
bee
pleased
to
continue
vnto
vs
the
saving
doctrine
of
thy
word
inviolable
,
and
everie
day
propagate
and
inlarge
the
bounds
of
thy
Church
.
Thou
hast
of
thine
infinite
mercie
lighted
vnto
vs
that
were
in
the
darknesse
of
this
world
,
the
light
of
thy
word
:
Suffer
not
therefore
,
the
clowds
of
humane
traditions
to
extinguish
it
,
or
to
obscure
it
.
Thou
hast
given
vnto
vs
thy
word
for
the
wholesome
meat
of
our
soules
:
Suffer
it
not
therefore
,
by
the
delusion
of
the
devill
and
the
corruption
of
men
,
to
bee
turned
into
poyson
.
Mortifie
in
vs
the
sinfull
lusts
of
the
flesh
,
that
thirsteth
after
earthlie
thinges
;
that
so
wee
may
taste
the
spirituall
delicates
of
thy
word
which
is
that
heavenlie
Manna
:
No
man
can
feele
the
sweetnesse
thereof
,
but
hee
that
will
taste
:
and
no
man
can
taste
,
whose
palate
is
corrupted
with
aboundance
of
worldlie
delights
.
Thy
word
is
the
word
of
spirit
and
lyfe
,
of
light
and
grace
.
Take
away
therefore
the
carnall
affections
,
and
the
corrupt
senses
of
our
hearts
;
that
it
may
shyne
to
us
within
,
and
bee
a
light
to
leade
vs
vnto
the
light
of
everlasting
lyfe
.
From
the
light
of
thy
word
let
there
aryse
in
our
hearts
the
light
of
saving
fayth
,
that
in
thy
light
wee
may
see
light
,
in
the
light
of
thy
word
,
the
light
of
thy
Sonne
.
As
in

Extinguish

They
