☞ Helas o father that is truth / we knowlege our synne and trespace / neuerthelesse / yet be thou a mercyfull father / and dele nat with vs accordige to our deseruynges / neither iuge vs by the rygorousnesse of thy lawe / but gyue vs grace that we maye so lyue / that thy holy name maye be halowed & sancttfyed in vs .

And kepe oure hertes that we neither do nor speake / no / that we nat ones thinke our purpose any thynge / but that whiche is to thine honour and praise / and aboue al thinges make thy name and honour to be sought of vs / and nat our own name & vaine glorie . and of thy myghty power brynge to passe in vs / that we maye loue and feare the / as a sonne his father .

☞ How can myne honour and name be halowed amonge you / whan your hertes and thoughtes are alwayes enclyned to euyll / and ye in bondage and captiuyte vnder synne : moreouer seynge that no man can synge my laude and prayse in a straunge countrey . Psal. cxxxvi .

☞ O father that is truthe / we fele our membres / ye / and also the very hertes of vs prone and redy to synne / and that the worlde / the flesshe / and the deuyll / rule in vs / and expell the dewe honoure of thyne holye name . Wherfore we beseche the moste mercifull father / for the loue that thou hast vnto thy sonne Christ helpe vs out of this myserable bondage / and let thy kyngdom come to dryue out the synne / to lose the bondes of Sathan / to tame the flessh / to make vs rightuouse and parfeyte / and to cleue vnto the / that thou only maiste raygne in vs / and that we maye be thy kyngdome and possessyon / and the obey with all our power and strength / bothe within and without .

☞ Whom I helpe / them I distroye . And whom I make lyuynge / safe / riche / and good / them I kyll / condempne / and cast them awaye / make theym beggers / and brynge them to nought . But so to be cured of me ye wyll nat suffre . Psalmo . lxxvii . Howe than shall I hele you / ye / and what can I do more ? Esaias .v.

☞ That is to vs great sorowe and grefe / that we can neither vnderstande nor suffre thy holsom hande / wherfore helpe dere father / open our eyes / and worke pacience in vs / that we may vnderstande thi holesom hande and also paciently suffre thy godly wyll to be fulfylled in vs .

Furthermore / though thy most holesome cure be neuer so paynfull vnto vs / yet go forwarde therwith / punisshe / bete / cutte / burne / distroy / bringe to nought dampne / cast downe vnto hell / and do what so euer thou wilte that thy wyll onely may be fulfylled and nat ours . Forbydde dere father / and in no wyse suffer vs to folow our owne good thoughtes and imagynations / neyther to prosecute our owne wyll / meanynge / and purpose . For thy wyll and ours ar clene contrary one to the other / thyne onely good / though it otherwyse appere vnto our blynde reason and our euyll / though our blindenesse se it nat .

☞ I am well serued and delte with all / that men loue me with their lyppes / and theyr hertes are farre fro me / and whan I take them in hande to make them better and to amende them / than ronne they backwarde / and in the middes of their cure / while their helth is a workyng / thei withdrawe them selues fro me : as thou redest . Psal. lxxvii .

Conuersi sunt in die belli . They ar tourned backe in the daye of battayle . That is to saye / they which began well / and committed them selues vnto me / that I shulde take them in hande / and cure them / are gone backe fro me in tyme of temptation / and kyllynge of the flesshe / and are retourned to sinne and vnto dishonourynge of me agayne .

☞ O father it is true / no man can be stronge in his owne strength / in the seconde chapyter of the first of the Kynges . ye / and who is able to suffre and a byde before thyne hande / if thou thy selfe strength & conforte vs nat : wherfore most mercyfull father take vs vnto thy cure / fulfyll thy wyll in vs / that we may be thy kingdome and inherytaunce vnto thy laude and praysynge . Also dere father / strength and confort vs in such busines with thy holy worde . Gyue vs oure dayly bred / graue & prynte thy dere sonne Iesus in our hertes / that we strengthed thorow him maye cherefully and gladly suffer and endure the distroyenge and kyllynge of our wyll / and the fulfyllynge of thy wyll / ye / and shede out thy grace vpon all christente / and sende lerned prestes and prechers to tech vs thy sonne Iesus purely / and to fede vs with the worde of thy holy gospell / and nat with the dregges and chaffe of fables & mens doctryne .

☞ It is nat good to cast perles before swyne / neyther to gyue holy thinges / and the childrens bred vnto the dogges and houndes . ye synne contynually with out ceassyng / and though I let my worde be preached amonge you neuer so moch / yet ye folow nat neither obey / but dispyse it .

☞ O father haue mercy on vs / and denye vs nat that breed of loue / it greueth vs fore / euen at the very herte rotes of vs / that we can nat satisfye thy worde and folow it . we desyre the ther to haue pacyence with vs thy poore and wretched chyldren and to forgyue vs our trespace and gyle / and iuge vs nat after thy lawe / for no man is rightuouse in thy presence . Loke on thy promyses / we forgyue oure trespacers / and that wyth all our hertes / and vnto suche hast thou promysed forgyuenes / nat that we thorowe such forgyuenesse ar worthy of thy forgyuenesse / but that thou arte trewe / and of thi grace and mercy hast promysed forgyuenes vnto all them that forgyue their neyghbours / in this thy promyse therfore is all our hope and truste .

☞ I forgyue you ofte / & loose you ofte / & ye neuer abyde stedfaste / children of lytle fayth are ye / ye can nat watche and endure with me a lytle whyle / but attones fall againe into temptation . Mathe. in the .xxvi. chapter .

☞ Weake are we o father / and feble / and the temptacyon great and manyfolde in the flessh and in the worlde . Kepe vs father with thy mightye power / and let vs nat fall in to temptatyon and synne agayne : but gyue vs grace that we maye abyde standynge / and fyght manfully vnto the ende / for withoute thy grace we can do nothynge .

☞ I am rightuous / and right is my iudgement / and therfore synne may nat be vnpunisshed / ye / and ye must suffre euyll and affliction / and as touchyng that ye haue temptatyon therby / that is your synnes faute only / whiche compelleth me thervnto / to kyll it & to heale you . For sinne can with none other medycyne be drawen out of you / but thorowe aduersyte and suffrynge of euyll .

☞ For as moch than as aduersyte / trybulation / afflyction / and euyll / whiche fyghte agaynste synne gyue vs temptacyon / delyuer vs out of theym / fynisshe thy cure / and make vs thorowe hole / that we losed from synne and euyll / maye be vnto the a kyngdome / to laude / to prayse / and to sanctify the. Amen
