The Complaint of a Sinner . To the tune of the bonny broome .

CHrist is my loue he loued me . when I was wretch forlorne True God from all eternitie , true man of Virgiu borne : He pierc'd the Heaveno , be came to earth , for me his blood to spill : Yet through my sinnes I haue him lost , woe worth my froward will : The bonny Broome , the well favour'd Broom the broome bloomes faire on hill : Him have I lost that loved me best , my love against his will . My crooked wayes , my words prophane , My thoughts to evill inclinue , Hath made this Love to lightly me , and shew himselfe unkinde Thus doe I spend my dayes in care , my nights in mourning still : For loosing him that lov'd me best , 〈…〉 ite my froward will . 〈…〉 〈…〉 ome , &c. Swéet Christ my loue , I must confesse , the cause of all my paine . Hath beene my owne bistoy all heart , that would not true remaine : But sought for pleasure here below , that soule and body kill : And brake my promise made to thée , alas my froward will . The bonny broome , &c. Long haue I dwelt in Kedars tents , and long in Meshech bidden : And from thy presence full of ioy , my feet haue long time slidden , Yet on my barren heart O Lord , some drops of grace distill : That I may finde thy loue againe , and change my froward will . The bonny broome , &c. Oh , let me sorrow for my sinne , and hate my ruthfull race , Oh let my silly soul 〈◊〉 , the fauour o● thy face : Till thou forget thine vnkindnesse , and I my mourning still , And with a free reformed heart , renounce my froward will . The bonny broome , &c. 〈…〉 t piece of money lost , 〈…〉 t childe forlorne : 〈…〉 ●●ndring shéepe O Lord , 〈…〉 ●o be torne . 〈…〉 Lord and finde me out , 〈…〉 fold vntill , 〈…〉 ●ngels may reioyce , 〈…〉 will 〈…〉 ●●●●me , &c. 〈…〉 th the bloody streames , 〈…〉 ounds so wide 〈…〉 y dar●●ng deare , 〈…〉 me guide 〈…〉 Broome , 〈…〉 ill , 〈…〉 for aie , 〈…〉 will . 〈…〉 well favour'd Broom 〈…〉 faire on hill , 〈…〉 ●ife amend , 〈…〉 thy will .
