O Creator & gubernator celi & terre & totius mundi , atque omnium , que facta sunt : sancte , fortis , immortalis , omnipotens , terribilis , iuste , misericors , & miserator , domine deus .

Ego miser & infelix immensa flagitiorum mole obrutus agnosco ac confiteor me & fuisse , & esse peccatorem longe omnium , qui vnquam vi xerunt sceleratissimum : & tam v●hementer oculos tue maiestatis offendisse : vt non solum non suum dignus vocari filius tuus , sed neque infimu● seruus tuus , imm● vero neque vt terra vestigijs pedum meorum prematur . Quanto minus , vt offeram tibi sacrificium aliquod , vel laudis , vel gratiarum actionis . Nam s● cel estibus ministris tuis clarissimis spiritibus , lucifero videli●et & complicibus ●ius non pepercisti : sed pro vno tantum commisso rebellionis & suber vie peccato , eteo quidem momentaneo , quod contra te cogi tarunt : de summo celorum habitaculo deiectos eternis tradidisti supplicijs cruciandos , quid ego scelerosus homuncio dicere ? quid pretexere poter● ? qui non exiguis , sed immodicis , non pauces , sed innumeris , non occultis , sed manifistis vicijs te offendi : et adhuc quidem offende re non cesso , peccata peccatis accumulans . Uerum enimvero pijssime pater , quia pater misericordiarum tu es : & miserationes tue super omnia opera tua : qui non vis mortem peccatoris , sed magis vt conuertatur & viuat : de tua misericordia summe fide●s ad tue maiestatus clementiam , que sola michi spes superest : humilis confugio : petoque s●pplex veniam et remissionem omnium peccatorum meorum , quibus vnquam a teneris annis vsque in hanc horam siue scienter , siue ignoranter , bonitatem tuam offendi .

Que sane tu Deus quem nullum latet secretum : longe me lius nosti , quam ego ipse recensere possum ▪ Peccaui namque grauiter & super numerum arene maris , in super bia et vana gloria , in ira & odio , in inuidia , in auaricia , in accidia , in gula , in libidine , in diuini cultus neglectu , in vanis iuramentis , in illicitis concupiscentiis , in blasphemia , in obtrectationibus , in mendaciis , in verbis ociosis , in immodico risu , in iocis , in vanitatis aspectu , in auditu , in gustu , in tactu , in cogitationibus , in sermonibus , in sactis , & in omnibus in quibus humana ●●agilitas vnquam peccare potuit . Id quod factum esse confiteor mea culpa : mea inquam maxima culpa . De quibus omnibus michi homini perditissim● et infelicissimo peccatori tu mitissime deus per immensam et inenarrabilem misericordiam tuam propicius ignosce . Tu namque es creator meus , et pater meus , adiutor meus , & protector meus , dominus meus & deus meus : tu es spes mea , fiducia mea , fortitudo mea , defensio mea , consolatio mea , el liberatio mea , vita mea , salus mea , et resurrectio mea . Tu ●s firmamentum meum , & refugium meum , 〈…〉 , & desiderium meum , adiutorium meum et patrocin●um meum . Quamobrem precor atque obsecro te miserorum liberator adiuua me , et saluus ero . Reg● me , et defende me : Uisita me , et consolare me : Illumina me , et resuscita me mortuum in peccatis . Et quia factura tua & opus tuum sum domine , ne me queso , derelinquas : nam et si malus , et si venia indignus sum , tamen semper tuus sum . Ad quem ergo confugiam nisi ad te Domin● Deus ? Si tu me despicis : quis me respiciet ? Si tu me eijcis , quis me suspiciet ? Redu● itaque ex viciorum ●atebris me seru● fugitiuum , et innumeris peccatorum maculis sordidatum ab●ue in fonte tue pietatis .

Quia quantumuis immundus sim , tu me mundare potes . Quantumuis cecus sim : tu potes me illuminare .

Quantumuis sim infirmus : tu potes me sanare . Immo quamuis mortuus quamuis sepultus sim : tu me resuscitare potes . Multo namque maior est pietas tua , quam mea impietas . Tu potes plus remittere : quam ego committere : tuque plus parcere , quam ego peccare . Ne ergo respice me secundum mea demerita domine : neque attende multitudinem iniquitatum mea●um : sed secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum miserere mei : & propicius esto michi miserrimo peccatori . Miserere quoque illorum mi sericors deus : quibus vel ego aliquando prebui : vel qui michi vnquam prebuerunt peccandi occasionem : absolue nos per infinitam pietatem tuam , et dignissima merita vnigeniti filij tui domini nostri Iesu Christi , et sanctissime matris eius Marie , et omnium sanctorum tuorum , ab omnibus iniqui tatibus & peccatis nostris . Et quia pro tantis sceleribus condignam peniten tiam agere non valemus , nec tibi satis facere : pone crucem & mortem , penasque et angustias , qua● vnigenitus & dilectus filius tuus d● minus noster Iesus Christus in hac vita perpessus est innocens : pro peccatis nostris clementer abolendis , & lar gire nobis ad te redeuntibus veram contritionem , puram confessionem , emen dationem vite continuam , ac facultatem & gratiam promerendi vitam et gloriam sempiternam .

O Creatour & gouernor of Heuen , and earth , of all the worlde , and of all thynges that are made : O holy , stronge , immortal , almighty , terrible , iust , mercifull Lord GOD . I a wretch , and vnfortunate , ouerwhelmed with the greate burden and wayte of synne , acknoledge , and confesse , my selfe to haue bene , and to be the mooste wycked synner of all other that euer lyued , and so grea●lye to haue offended the eyes of thy maiestie , that not onely I am not worthy to be called thi ●onne nor yet thy inferior and least seruaunt , yea not to treade vpon the ground , howe much lesse to offer vnto the , any sacrifice of land or thankes geuing . For why . yf thou haste not spa●yd the celestiall mynisters , thy moste cleare and noble spirites , that is Lucifer and hys companions , but for the onely offence and synne of rebellion , and pryde , that they euen sodenlye and in a moment thought agaynst the , hast delyuered them , cast downe from the hyghe habytacle of heauen , to be tormentid with eternall paynes : What may I miserable wretch say , or what mai I laye for my selfe ? the which hath offended the not with smale , but with verye greate , not with a few , but with innumerable , not with secrete , but with manifest vices , and as yet , heping sinne vpon sin , doth not leue of nor cease to sin . But moste mercyfull father , inasmuche as thou arte the father of mercyes , Psalme . C.xliiii . and that thy mercyes ar aboue thy workes , nor wylte not the death of a synner , but that he shoulde rather conuerte and lyue : I trustynge gretly vnto thy mercy , and hauynge noo other hope lefte me , doo approche and flye vnto the clemencye of thy maiesty : And mekelye I doo aske and requyre the forgeuenes and remissyon of all my synnes , wherwith I at anye tyme from my tender age vnto this hower haue offended thy goodnes wyttynglye or ignorantly : the whyche thinges , 〈…〉 thou O GOD from whom nothinge is hydden , doest knowe a greate deale better ▪ than I canne rehearse them . I haue offended greuously , and aboue the number of the sandes of the sea , in pryde and vayne glorye , in anger and hatred , in enuy , in couetuousnes , in slothefulnes , in glutteni , in lecheri , in negligence of diuine honor , in vaine othes , in vnlawful lustes , in blasphemy , in slaunderyngs , in lies in idle wordes , in vnmesurable laughyng , in iestes , in vaine lookes , in hearyng , in tastynge , in thoughtes , and in wordes , in dedes , and in all thynges , that the frayltye of man at any tyme might haue offended in , the which thing , I confesse to haue bene done through mi faute , yea I saye through my mooste greatest faute . For the which , O most meakest God , forgeue me a man that is vtterly loste and mooste vnhappy , for thy great and vnspeakeable merites sake . For whye thou art my maker , my father , my helper , & my protector , my lorde and my God , thou art my hope , my trust , my strength , my defence , my consolation , my delyueraunce , my lyfe , my helth , and my resurrection . Thou art my stablyshment and my refuge , my lyght , and my desyre , my helpe and my succor . Wherefore I praye and besech the , the deliuerer of the miserable , to helpe me , and I shal be saued : to gouerne me and defende me , to visitte me , and comforte me , to illumine me , and reuiue me that am dead in synne . And forasmuch as I am O Lorde thy creature , and thy workemanshyppe , leue me not I praye the , for although I am euyll , & vnworthi of forgeuenes , yet for all that I am alwayes thyne . To whom then shall I flye O lord God , but vnto the ? Yf thou despise me , whoo shall loke vpon me ? yf thou cast me of , who shal receaue me ? Therefore brynge me thy fugytyue seruaunt out of the lurkynge places of vyces , and washe me defiled with innumerable spottes of synnes , in the fountein of thy pietie & mekenes . For howe fylthy soeuer I be , thou canste clense me . Howe blynde soeuer I be , thou canst geue me my syght . How sicke soeuer I be , thou canst hele me . Yea and yf I were deade and buryed , thou canst reuiue me . For thy pitie is farre greter , than is my Impiete . Thou canst forgeue more , than I canne do , and pardon more , than I can trespasse . Therefore , O Lord , behold me not after my demerites : nor consyder not the multytude of my iniquytyes : but after the multytude of thi mercies , haue mercy vpon me , and be mercyful vnto me a miserable synner . And mercyfull god , be mercifull vnto them , vnto whome I haue at anye tyme , or they vnto me geuen any occasion to synne , and through thy infinit mercy and the most worthy merytes of thy onelye sonne oure Lorde Iesu Chryst , and of hys most holy mother Marye , and of all Saintes , absolue vs from all our synnes , and iniquities . And inasmuche as we are not able to doo worthye penaunce for oure sinnes , nor satisfye the : set the crosse and the death , the paynes and the anguyshes , whiche thy onelye and welbeloued sonne our Lord Iesus Christ , an innocente , suffered mekely in this lyfe , for the abolyshment of our synnes . And geue vs that retourne vnto the , true contrition , pure confession , continual amendment of lyfe , facultye , & grace to deserue lyfe and glory euerlastynge . So be it .

Libera domine animas nostras , ab omnibus insidijs inimici , et conserua nos in tua voluntate , doce nos facere voluntatem tuam , quia deus noster es . tibi honor et gloria , per omnia seculorum secula . 〈◊〉

SAlue intemerata virgo Maria , filij dei genitrix pre ceteris electa virginibus , que ex vtero tue matris Anne mulieris sanctissime , sic a spiritu sancto tum sanctificata , tum illuminata fuisti , munitaque tantopere dei omnipotentis gratia , vt vsque ad conceptum filij tui domini nostri Iesu Christi , & dum eum conciperes , ac vsque ad partum , et dum ●um pareres , semperque post partum , virgo omnium , que nate sunt , castissima , incorruptissima , e● immaculatissima et corpore et animo tota vita permanseris . Tu nimirum vniuersas alias longe superasti virgines syncera mentis impollute conscientia , quotquot vel adhuc fuerunt ab ipso mundi primordio , vel vnquam future sunt vsque in finem mundi . Per hec nos precel lentissima gratie celestis dona , tibi virgo et mater maria ●re ceteris omnibus et mulieribus et virginibus a deo singulariter infusa , te precamur , que miseris mortalibus misericors patrona es , vt pro peccatis nostris nobis condonandis inter cedere digneris apud deum patrem omnipotentem , eiusque filium Iesum Christum , secundum diuinitatem quidem ex patre ante omnia secula genitum , secundum humanita tem autem ex te natum , atque apud spiritum sanctum , vt peccatorum nostrorum maculis tua abstersis intercessione , tecum sancta virgo semper congaudere , teque in regno celorum sine fine laudare me●●amur . 〈◊〉 ▪

MIserere , que●umus , Domine deus per preciosam mortem vnigemti filij tui domini nostri Iesu Christi , miserere animarum illarum , que apud te sui memores non habent intercessores : quibus non est consolatio , nec spes vlla in tormentis , nisi quod ad imaginem et similitudinem tuam create , et fidei signa culo insignite sunt , que vel superstitum negligentia , vel temporum labente cursu , in obliuionem amicorum aut posteritatis venetunt . Parce eis domine , et defende plasma tuum in eis : nec opus manuum tuarum despice , sed porrige eis dexteram tuam , atque a penarum cruciatu liberatas perduceas ad societatem ciuium supernorum per immensas miseratiōes tuas , que super omnia opera tua celebres habentur . Qui viuis et regnas deus , per omnia secula seculorum . 〈◊〉
