O Mercieful & most louing Father whose loue is infinit , whose merci indureth for euer , we sinful creatures , trusting in thyne vnspeakeable goodnes and loue towards vs , do appere this morning before thy deuyne maiestye , most lowlye confessyng our manifold sinnes , and innumerable transgressyons of thy commaundements , and fatherly wil. Against the onelye , agaynste the ( O Lorde : haue we synned , therfore we confesse oure synnes , we knowledg our offences , we accuse our selues vnto the O mercyfull lord , & wyl not hyde our vnryghtousnes . We finde in oure selues nothinge but ignorance of thy wil disobedience , mistruste , doutefulnes in thy goodnes , and incredulitiy , hatred , and contempt of al spirytuall thynges , selfeloue , confydence in oure selues and feruent lustyng after carnal thynges of thys worlde . And this tree of oure corrupt nature , bringeth forth contynually in vs none other frute , but rotten , and vnsauery workes of the fleshe , in thoughtes wordes and doynges , vnto condempnacyon . Wherfore , we humbly beseche thy fatherlye goodnesse , euen for thy sonne Iesus Christes sake , whom thou hast set forth for a purchaser towarde vs of mercye , throughe faith in his bloude : to make oure hertes clene , take away our stonye hertes , & geue vnto vs a true and a lyuely faith , whiche shall worcke contynuallye by loue , throughe Christ . Haue mercy vpon vs , forgeue vs our sinnes , for thy sonnes sake , certifye our Conscience of remission of the same , by thy holye spirit , by whose operacion , so mortify in vs our old man , the whole body of sinne , that we continualy , dying vnto sin may walcke in newnesse of lyfe , to the glorye of thy name , through Iesus Christe our Lorde . So be it .

O God , the proude are rysen agaynste me , and the congregacyons of naughty men haue sought after my soule , and haue not set the before theyr eyes .

But thou O lord God , art full of compassion , & mercy , longe suffering , plenteous in goodnes and truthe .

O turne the then vnto me , and haue mercye vpon me : geue thy strength vnto the seruaunt , and helpe the son of thyn handmaid . Shewe some token vpon me for good , that they which hate me may se it , & be ashamed , because thou Lord hast helped me , & cōmforted me .
