The Sinners supplication .

Confessing his sins , and humbly craving pardon of the Lord : he hateth the world , and desireth to inhabit in the heavenly Ierusalem : and the description thereof .

To the tune of , Troy Towne .

O Gratious God and heavenly King , That rules and governes every thing , Whose power the heavens & earth do know , Behold me wretch opprest with woe : Be thou my God in this distresse , And ease me of my wickednesse . O Lord , Lord for thy mercy now forgive me , come and receive me home . The terrors of this fe●● full death , Which makes so many lose their breath , Doe make me feare my part therein , For recompence of my great sinne O Lord unto my voice give heed , And rid my life and soule from dread . O Lord ; Lord for thy mercy , &c. Most gracious God now lend thine eare , Bow downe thy selfe my cryes to heare , Let not my words be spent in vaine , But helpe me Lord now I complaine . Be thou my rocke my strength and stay , For thou hast promist helpe alway . This grieuous scourge which thou hast sent , Vpon us for our chastisement : We must confesse we have deserved , For from thy lawes we all have swerved . Our sinnes have fore provoked thee , In wrath against us all to be . &c. The sinnes of Sodome here doe raigne , And in our Citie doe remaine , Both old and young , both rich and poore , Doe daily sinne and vex thée sore : They sweare and lye , they steale and kill , no for old shoes the poore they sell ▪ False beames and weights are daily used , Whereby full many are abused , And covetous Vsurers by excesse , Have brought a number to distresse , They purchase daily house and ground , And racking rents the poore they wound . And I O Lord amongst the rest , Doe yeeld that I have sore transgrest : But yet O Lord I thee desire , Not to rebuke me in thine ire . Beare not in mind my former ill , But frame me to thy holy will . I was conceivd and borne in sin , And since I have most wicked bin , Offending thée my gracious God , Whereby I have deserved thy rod . But now O Lord I doe repent . Let me not féele thy punishment . My sinnes are set before mine eyes , My gracelesse oathes I doe despise , My want of grace I doe lament , And youthfull time so vainely spent . Forgive me Lord for Christ his sake , And let thy wrath and anger slake . Vaine world adue , thou flatterest man , I loath thée now , doe what thou can : I yeeld my selfe most willingly Vnto my God to live and dye . For under his wings I plainely see , There is most safety for to be .
The second part , To the same Tune .

Oh where said David shall I fly , But God will there be presently ? There is no place to scape from God , If thou deserve to féele his rod . Thou man in thy vocation stay , And God will thée defend alway . I with my selfe am now resolved , And with S. Paul to be dissolved , From this Body of sinne and mire , I doe most earnestly desire , And with my Saviour Christ to be , To live with him eternally . My thirsty soule desires her draught , My poysoned mind would faine be out , From chaines and fetters of the flesh , To live with him in happinesse : She longs to come into the coast , Which she by Sathans wiles hath lost . From Egypt now I will returne , Where cruell bondage makes me mourne , And eke from Babylon I would be , Released from captivity : To be in new Ierusalem , Amongst the Saints to sing with them . This is the home which I doe meane , That City new Ierusalem : Where many thousand Saints doe sing Praises unto their heavenly King . Within that Citty there is peace , Continue's still and never cease . There is an everlasting spring , There birds doe ever chirp and sing , There blustring winter never blowes , It never fréezeth there nor snowes : Nor Summers parching doth no harme , The weather there is temperate warme . There pleasant Gardens ever kéepe , All forts of Flowers ever swéet : The trées do blossome bud and beare The fruits are mellow all the yéere All sorts of plants both fresh and gréene , At all times there are to bee séene . The gates of equall distance be , Most beautifull and faire to see : Bedeckt with many precious stones , And wrought with burnisht I vory bones , The walles of Iasper richly built , The stréets and houses pav'd and guilt . There pleasant Wine in rivers flowes , Vpon the bankes the Suger growes , Enclos'd in Reedes of Cynamon , More swéeter than the hony combe : To see these sights and many moe , Who would not covet there to goe ? There is no néed of Moone nor Sunne , For there the day and night are one : No heart can think nor tongue can tell , The glorious sightes for to excell . The dwellers there are crown'd with gold . Like Kings most glorious to behold . Like loving friends they live in blisse , Like spouses they the Bridegroome kisse . Their loving Lord and master deare , Who feasteth them with heauenly chéere , O God of heauen of thy good grace , Conduct us to that heauenly place . O Lord , Lord for thy mercy , now forgive me , come and receive me home ,
