Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

TAke
early
in
the
morning
of
thy
life
a
Quart
of
true
and
vnfained
Repentance
of
Niniuie
,
and
put
to
it
both
your
hands
full
of
feruent
Faith
in
Christs
blood
,
which
was
shed
for
you
;
with
asmuch
Hope
and
Charity
of
the
purest
that
you
can
purchase
with
teares
vnfained
,
from
the
Garden
of
Gods
Word
,
of
each
of
these
a
like
quantity
,
and
put
them
into
the
vessell
of
a
cleare
and
vnspotted
conscience
,
and
let
them
boile
well
in
the
fiery
flames
of
true
and
hearty
loue
,
till
you
see
by
the
perfect
eye
of
your
faith
,
and
feele
by
your
zeale
illuminated
,
the
black
fome
of
the
loue
of
the
world
to
stinke
in
your
stomacke
.
Then
scumme
it
off
with
the
spoone
of
faithfull
prayer
:
that
done
,
take
the
immaculate
cloath
of
Christs
pure
innocency
,
and
couer
you
warme
with
as
many
cloathes
of
the
Amendment
of
life
as
God
shall
strengthen
you
to
beare
:
And
then
lie
downe
on
your
bed
,
ioyned
with
the
peace
of
God
,
and
sweat
out
all
the
vile
poison
of

Idolatry

and
the
like
,
let
this
bee
distilled
through
the
limbeck
of
a
clean
heart
:
then
apply
the
sweet
ointment
of
a
good
conuersation
,
and
lay
it
to
your
nose
,
for
feare
you
smell
after
your
neighbors
goods
:
And
when
you
feele
your selfe
clensed
from
all
these
fore-named
diseases
,
then
take
the
powder
of
Say-well
,
and
lay
it
on
your
tongue
to
sauour
your
mouth
,
and
the
eares
of
the
hearers
;
but
drink
three
times
as
much
Doe-well
.
And
anoint
your
hands
with
the
oyle
of
gladnesse
,
to
doe
good
workes
,
that
they
may
be
supple
and
ready
to
minister
to
the
poore
distressed
members
of
Christ
as
you
see
good
occasion
and
are
able
:
but
beware
of
taking
the
wind
of
vaine-glory
in
the
giuing
,
lest
the
daily
gusts
therof
do
you
much
harme
,
let
these
bee
incorporated
all
into

iuyce

Herbe

of

if

all
the
rest
will
doe
thee
little
pleasure
,
neither
can
they
bee
operatiue
to
either
soule
or
body
.
And
then
arise
from
sin
willingly
,
&
walk
out
your
course
worthily
:
and
take
vp
Christs
crosse
patiently
and
beare

be
mindfull
of
them
daily
,
and
pray
these
prayers
following
zealously
,
and

In
certaine
Morall
precepts
for
the
better
ordering
of
his
life
.
Concerning
thy selfe
.
1
BEgin
the
day
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
continue
it
in
his
feare
,
that
thou
mayest
end
it
in
his
fauor
.
2
When
thou
canst
not
spend
the
day
in
honourable
actions
,
thou
maiest
in
vertuous
Contemplations
,
but
bee
sure
to
put
thy
knowledge
into
practice
.
3
In
all
things
shew
a
noble
mind
,
and
aboue
all
things
auoid
basenesse
;
if
thy
birth
be
noble
shame
it
not
,
if
meane
,
let
thy
vertues
raise
it
.
4
Neuer
striue
to
please
all
men
,
or
indeed
any
man
whom
thou
needst
not
feare
,
since
whateuer
thou
doest
will
displease
some
body
,
if
thou
canst
please
thy selfe
and
not
offend
God
,
it
is
no
matter
whether
others
be
pleased
or
no.
5
Be
neither
seruile
,
nor
officious
to
any
(
though
greater
then
thy selfe
)
from
whom
thou
neither
regardest
fauour
,
nor
fearest
wrath
:
giue
them
no
occasion
of
offence
,
nor
take
iniury
at
their
hands
.
6
With
thy
superior
in
degree
shew
thy selfe
neither
too
awfull
nor
familiar
,
with
thy
equall
bee
both
courteous
and
familiar
,
with
thy
inferiour
though
courteous
yet
not
too
familiar
.
7
Bee
sparing
to
praise
or
dispraise
thy selfe
in
any
quality
:
the
first
sauour
of
vaine-glory
,
the
other
of
folly
,
neither
meddle
with
others
actions
either
in
way
of
approbation
,
or
contumely
;
for
as
the
one
will
get
thee
neuer
the
more
loue
,
so
the
other
,
will
will
get
thee
much
more
hatred
.
8
Auoide
rather
those
that
flatter
thee
,
then
those
that
reproue
thee
:
one
loues
thy
purse
,
the
other
thy
person
.
Intrude
not
thy selfe
into
any
company
where
the
place
is
priuate
,
nor
enter
into
counsell
vnrequired
,
and
let
thy
aduice
sauour
rather
of
wisdome
,
then
wit
,
for
so
thou
shalt
saue
thy
credit
and
thy
friends
.
10
Let
thy
company
where
thou
mayest
haue
welcome
be
waies
of
the
best
sort
,
but
shun
all
those
that
shall
intice
thee
to
any
base
action
.
11
Marry
not
till
thou
beest
thy
owne
man
,
to
dispose
of
thy
estate
thy selfe
,
neither
marry
till
thou
hast
a
competent
estate
to
defray
that
charge
which
mariage
of
necessity
brings
with
it
.
12
If
thou
be
poore
marry
late
and
far
off
,
if
rich
,
quickly
and
neer
home
,
let
thy
wife
be
either
vertuous
,
noble
,
rich
,
or
faire
,
for
without
these
or
one
of
these
,
there
can
be
no
loue
.
Nobilitie
and
riches
may
be
a
meanes
to
aduance
posteritie
,
vertue
and
beauty
will
adde
to
thy selfe
pleasure
and
content
,
but
neuer
marry
for
beauty
onely
,
lest
time
or
sicknesse
shew
thee
thy
folly
.
13
As
neere
as
thou
canst
chose
one
better
qualified
in
mind
then
body
,
whose
soule
is
faire
as
her
face
,
hansome
and
neat
in
her
apparell
,
not
gay
,
nor
sluttish
;
silent
,
yet
not
dumbe
when
occasion
serues
to
speake
,
with
a
blushing
cheeke
,
rather
then
a
brazen
forehead
,
milde
and
gentle
spirited
,
and
one
that
cannot
bee
angry
,
free-hearted
,
yet
not
lauish
,
louing
to
all
,
familiar
to
few
,
alwaies
mery
,
seldome
wanton
.
14
If
thou
hast
children
bring
them
vp
in
all
noble
qualities
,
to
make
them
worthy
instruments
either
for
Church
or
Common-wealth
:
but
constraine
none
of
them
to
apply
themselues
to
any
thing
against
nature
,
and
winne
them
rather
by
loue
and
gentlenesse
,
then
harsh
seuerity
.
15
Let
thy
house
be
rather
necessary
and
neat
,
then
large
and
rude
,
yet
if
thy
estate
and
calling
be
great
,
let
thy
house
bee
answerable
without
and
within
.
16
Let
thy
house-keeping
be
alwaies
bountifull
,
neuer
prodigall
,
rather
abounding
then
wanting
,
but
neuer
to
win
credit
stretch
thy
purse
beyond
its
bounds
,
nor
let
thy
charge
bee
greater
then
thy
reuenues
,
and
take
heed
of
paying
vse-mony
.
17
Let
all
thy
house
funiture
be
of
the
best
,
not
only
to
shew
but
for
vse
also
,
so
shalt
thou
not
onely
content
but
pleasure
thy
friends
,
whose
loue
if
thou
wilt
gaine
,
let
thy
house
be
to
him
alwaies
as
his
own
,
freely
,
without
grudging
,
the
signe
of
a
base
nature
.
18
Inuite
not
any
man
,
especially
great
men
)
to
thy
house
,
vnlesse
thou
haue
exercise
to
recreate
them
abroad
aswell
as
within
,
hunting
,
hawking
,
bowling
,
&c.
for
without
these
he
will
quickly
be
weary
;
and
let
me
aduise
thee
,
if
thou
be
able
,
alwaies
to
keepe
a
stable
of
good
horses
,
excellent
for
some
qualitie
,
which
will
not
onely
please
all
men
,
but
shall
get
thee
the
name
of
generous
.
19
Let
thy
seruants
bee
so
many
as
thou
mayest
imploy
in
honest
offices
,
such
as
will
neither
be
idle
nor
ill
imployd
:
for
thy
house
affaires
choose
aged
&
well
experienced
men
,
rather
profitable
then
hansome
,
but
such
as
waite
on
thy
person
or
thy
friends
,
gentle-men-like
in
body
or
mind
,
neither
let
drudges
,
as
horse-keepers
or
labourers
,
or
such
like
come
neere
thy
person
,
or
thy
table
,
for
either
their
rude
behauiour
or
ill
smell
will
bee
offensiue
.
For
thy
maidseruants
take
this
rule
,
let
thy
house
bee
well
deckt
with
them
(
such
I
meane
as
be
hansome
)
for
they
grace
a
house
more
then
all
thy
other
furniture
,
and
let
thy
wife
haue
alwayes
a
couple
of
Gentlewomen
to
attend
her
person
at
the
least
,
and
remember
that
sluts
and
foule
sowes
will
haue
alwaies
sluttish
conditions
.
20
Finally
,
banish
from
thy
house
all
rude
and
ruffian-like
fellowes
,
with
ignorant
and
hypocriticall
puritans
.
A
Morning
Prayer
.
O
LORD
God
,
our
most
gracious
,
louing
and
mercifull
FATHER
in
Christ
Iesus
,
we
thy
poore
and
most
vnworthy
seruants
do
here
prostrate
our selues
,
both
soules
and
bodies
,
before
the
Throne
of
thy
heauenly
Maiesty
,
humbly
acknowledging
and
confessing
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts
,
that
we
are
most
vile
,
miserable
,
and
sinfull
wretches
,
conceiued
in
sin
,
brought
forth
in
iniquitie
,
and
so
haue
continued
all
our
life
time
:
Not
worthy
O
Lord
,
of
the
least
of
all
thy
blessings
,
but
deserue
iustly
for
our
sinnes
eternall
death
and
damnation
,
and
to
be
cast
for
euer
from
thy
presence
.
Heauenly
Father
,
wee
confesse
freely
against
our
owne
soules
,
that
our
sins
are
moe
in
number
then
the
hairs
of
our
heads
,
or
the
sands
of
the
sea
,
or
the
stars
of
heauen
;
and
that
we
haue
broken
and
transgressed
al
thy
holy
Commandemēts
,
both
in
thought
,
word
,
and
deed
,
from
our
infancy
to
our
youth
,
from
our
youth
to
our
riper
age
,
from
the
day
of
our
birth
to
this
present
day
.
The
euil
,
O
Lord
,
which
we
should
not
doe
,
we
haue
done
,
and
the
good
which
we
should
haue
done
,
we
haue
omitted
.
We
haue
made
no
conscience
of
our
wayes
,
no
regard
of
thy
promises
,
no
feare
of
thy
threatnings
.
We
haue
made
vs
other
gods
in
thy
sight
,
a
god
of
our
gold
,
a
god
of
our
belly
,
a
god
of
euery
affection
:
we
haue
blasphemed
thy
holy
name
:
wee
haue
profaned
thy
Sabbaths
:
we
haue
polluted
thy
Sanctuary
:
wee
haue
despised
thy
Word
:
we
haue
done
all
manner
of
euill
in
thy
sight
,
and
the
feare
of
thy
Maiesty
hath
not
beene
before
vs.
Thy
mercy
hath
not
allured
vs
,
thy
iudgements
haue
not
terrified
vs
;
but
with
a
high
hand
we
haue
heaped
sinne
vpon
sinne
,
and
gone
on
still
in
all
manner
of
wickednesse
,
vntill
wee
haue
made
it
too
heauy
a
burden
for
vs
to
beare
.
What
then
belongs
vnto
vs
thou
iust
Iudge
of
all
the
world
,
but
eternall
confusion
both
of
soule
and
body
.
Neuerthelesse
,
appealing
from
thy
iustice
,
wee
implore
thy
mercy
,
and
intreat
thee
in
Iesus
Christ
to
be
reconciled
vnto
vs
;
for
his
sake
to
pardon
and
forgiue
vs
all
our
sins
,
to
naile
them
on
his
Crosse
,
to
bury
them
in
his
graue
,
and
to
warn
them
away
in
his
most
pretious
bloud
.
Wash
vs
O
Lord
,
and
wee
shall
be
clean
:
clense
vs
,
and
wee
shall
passe
the
snow
in
whitnesse
:
Good
Lord
be
mercifull
vnto
vs
,
pardon
and
forgiue
vs
all
that
is
past
,
and
giue
vs
grace
to
leade
a
more
holy
life
then
we
haue
done
hitherto
.
And
to
this
end
,
O
blessed
Lord
God
,
because
our
hearts
are
the
sinkes
of
all
our
sinnes
,
and
the
fountaines
of
all
our
vncleannesse
,
sanctifie
our
vncleane
hearts
,
mortifie
our
sinfull
affections
,
pacifie
our
impure
thoughts
,
clense
our
wicked
cogitations
:
O
Lord
renew
a
right
spirit
within
vs
,
O
Lord
giue
vs
grace
to
conceiue
aright
of
the
wonderfull
things
of
thy
Law
,
&
to
practice
the
things
that
concerne
thy
glory
.
And
because
O
Lord
wee
should
be
the
more
vnworthy
to
receiue
any
good
thing
from
thee
,
if
we
should
not
be
truly
thankfull
for
those
many
good
things
which
we
haue
already
receiued
,
we
render
vnto
thy
diuine
Maiesty
all
possible
praise
and
thankes
for
all
those
blessings
which
thou
hast
so
mercifully
from
time
to
time
bestowed
vpon
vs.
We
thanke
thee
O
Lord
for
our
election
before
we
were
:
for
our
creation
and
what
we
are
:
for
our
redemption
when
we
were
lost
:
for
our
iustification
,
and
sanctification
in
this
life
,
and
for
our
assured
hope
of
glorification
in
the
life
to
come
.
We
thanke
thee
deare
Father
,
for
whatsoeuer
good
concerns
either
soule
or
body
:
for
our
liues
,
and
for
our
liberty
:
for
our
peace
,
&
for
our
plenty
:
for
our
health
,
and
our
prosperitie
:
and
aboue
all
,
for
the
sweet
and
inestimable
iewell
of
thy
holy
Word
.
Thou
hast
been
more
gracious
to
vs
,
then
to
other
Nations
.
O
Lord
we
were
a
people
that
sate
in
darknesse
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
,
but
thou
hast
opened
our
eyes
,
and
giuen
vs
a
lanterne
for
our
feete
,
and
a
light
for
our
paths
:
let
not
our
sins
we
beseech
thee
,
remoue
this
candle-sticke
from
vs.
Wee
thanke
thee
O
Lord
,
that
thou
hast
sealed
vnto
our
consciences
the
free
,
and
full
remission
of
all
our
sinnes
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Wee
thanke
thee
that
thou
hast
kept
vs
from
many
sinnes
which
our
fraile
nature
might
haue
committed
,
and
for
sauing
vs
from
many
dangers
whereinto
we
might
haue
fallen
:
Lord
keepe
vs
both
from
sinne
and
danger
.
And
because
both
of
the
weaknesse
of
our
nature
,
and
the
number
of
our
enemies
,
how
busie
they
are
to
tempt
,
&
how
ready
we
are
to
yeeld
,
Lord
shield
vs
with
thy
grace
,
and
protect
vs
with
thy
Spirit
against
all
the
assaults
&
temptations
both
of
the
world
,
the
flesh
,
and
the
deuill
.
Let
not
the
flesh
allure
vs
,
let
not
the
world
bewitch
vs
,
let
not
the
deuill
vanquish
vs
;
but
grant
good
God
,
that
by
the
mediation
of
Christ
,
and
the
assistance
of
thy
blessed
Spirit
,
against
all
these
we
may
be
more
then
conquerours
.
Wee
thanke
thee
O
Lord
that
thou
hast
preserued
vs
to
this
present
houre
;
and
because
the
time
of
our
pilgrimage
here
on
earth
is
but
short
,
Lord
giue
vs
grace
to
spend
it
in
thy
feare
:
teach
vs
to
number
our
dayes
,
and
that
little
time
we
haue
to
liue
to
bestow
it
wisely
.
And
for
as
much
as
thy
Kingdome
O
Christ
is
not
of
this
world
,
neither
consisteth
in
meat
,
or
drinke
,
but
in
righteousnesse
,
and
peace
,
and
ioy
in
the
holy
Ghost
,
grant
O
heauenly
Father
,
that
we
renouncing
this
world
,
and
crucifying
the
lusts
of
this
sinfull
life
,
and
being
borne
anew
by
thy
Word
and
holy
Spirit
,
setting
our
affections
vpon
things
aboue
,
and
hauing
our
conuersation
in
heauen
,
may
after
this
life
ended
obtaine
the
inheritance
of
eternall
life
,
and
rest
with
thee
and
thy
Sonne
Christ
in
the
Kingdom
of
Heauen
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
Our
Father
which
art

An
Euening
Prayer

OH
eternall
and
euer-liuing
God
;
most
holy
,
and
iust
;
most
omnipotent
,
gracious
,
mercifull
,
and
louing
Father
,
and
my
only
Lord
and
Sauiour
;
I
a
wretched
and
sinfull
creature
,
thy
vnworthy
seruant
,
yea
,
rather
the
seruant
of
sinne
,
and
bondslaue
of
iniquitie
,
the
sonne
of
Adam
,
yet
through
Christ
my
Sauiour
and
his
righteousnesse
,
thy
adopted
childe
,
and
a
member
of
his
mysticall
body
:
Doe
here
humbly
prostrate
my
soule
,
and
cast
down
my self
before
thy
footstoole
&
mercy-seate
(
oh
euer-liuing
Redeemer
)
acknowledging
and
confessing
from
the
bottome
of
my
heart
mine
owne
vnrighteousnesse
,
and
manifold
sinnes
and
transgressions
,
my
disobedience
and
rebellion
this
day
committed
against
thy
holy
and
sacred
Maiesty
,
my
contempt
of
thy
Word
&
Commandements
,
my
vaine
conuersation
and
corrupt
affections
,
my
continuall
breach
of
thy
most
holy
and
reuealed
Will
,
in
thought
,
word
,
and
deed
,
whereby
I
haue
deserued
thy
iust
iudgements
and
wrathfull
indignation
to
be
poured
downe
vpon
me
,
vile
and
wretched
sinner
,
and
vtterly
to
be
cast
out
of
thy
sight
,
and
to
be
deliuered
to
Satan
my
deadly
enemy
,
who
daily
and
hourely
laboureth
to
win
me
from
thee
,
and
to
cast
me
into
vtter
darknesse
,
where
there
is
nothing
but
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
O
Lord
my
deseruings
doe
astonish
my
heart
,
and
dazell
mine
eyes
,
that
I
dare
not
looke
vp
to
heauen
;
my
sinnes
doe
presse
me
downe
to
the
depth
and
bottomlesse
pit
of
hell
;
my
conscience
doth
challenge
mee
a
thousand
waies
,
for
offending
thee
so
good
and
so
gracious
a
God
:
My
ghostly
enemie
is
a
roareing
and
a
ramping
Lyon
,
ready
euery
minute
to
deuoure
me
,
is
busie
with
me
day
and
night
,
he
casteth
a
mist
before
mine
eyes
,
that
I
cannot
see
thy
holy
Will
reuealed
in
thy
Word
,
and
still
vrgeth
my
sins
vnto
my
conscience
,
driuing
me
into
despaire
of
thy
mercy
in
Christ
Iesus
,
and
feedeth
my
fantasie
with
manifold
visions
,
he
troubleth
my
minde
with
dangerous
assaults
,
deludeth
my
senses
,
and
striueth
to
draw
me
aside
from
euery
good
exercise
,
and
from
the
fellowship
of
thy
Saints
here
militant
vpon
earth
.
Oh
Lord
my
God
,
iust
are
thy
iudgements
,
great
are
my
sinnes
,
but
thy
mercy
is
far
aboue
all
thy
workes
:
for
thou
desirest
not
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
nor
takest
pleasure
in
the
damnation
of
Soules
;
thou
hast
ordained
life
,
and
health
,
and
all
saluation
is
from
thee
.
Oh
God
most
high
,
thou
hast
giuen
vs
thy
dearely
beloued
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
that
who
soeuer
beleeueth
in
him
,
should
not
perish
,
but
haue
life
euerlasting
.
And
how
can
it
be
,
but
with
him
thou
shouldest
giue
vs
all
things
necessary
for
this
life
,
and
the
life
to
come
?
In
him
,
and
for
his
sake
,
I
thy
poore
afflicted
creature
groaning
vnder
the
burthen
of
my
sinnes
,
and
altogether
tyred
through
the
manifold
temptations
of
Satan
and
this
wicked
world
,
doe
most
humbly
intreat
thee
to
forgiue
and
pardon
all
my
iniquities
and
sinnes
whatsoeuer
,
committed
against
thy
diuine
Maiestie
;
Most
mercifull
Father
,
for
Christs
sake
,
lay
them
no
longer
to
my
charge
;
for
I
am
not
able
to
beare
thy
threatning
hand
against
mee
.
Suffer
not
Satan
to
delude
me
any
longer
,
nor
abuse
my
weakenesse
,
not
to
deceiue
my
senses
and
fantasie
;
suffer
him
not
(
O
Lord
)
to
deuoure
my
soule
.
Oh
sweet
Sauiour
Christ
,
thou
fountaine
of
liuing
waters
,
and
that
true
brazen
Serpent
that
healest
all
infirmities
,
and
the
sting
of
that
fiery
Serpent
that
hath
wounded
my
conscience
:
thou
which
callest
vnto
thee
all
those
that
trauell
and
are
heauie
loaden
with
the
burthen
of
their
sins
and
feeling
of
their
infirmities
,
promising
them
ease
in
Conscience
,
and
Rest
vnto
their
soules
:
I
most
wretched
and
vile
sinner
,
meekely
beseech
thee
,
euen
for
thy
promise
sake
,
that
thou
wilt
receiue
me
,
and
ease
my
burthen
which
is
too
heauie
vpon
me
day
and
night
.
Oh
thou
sweet
Samaritan
,
poure
thy
Wine
and
Oyle
of
gladnesse
into
my
wounded
heart
;
giue
me
to
drinke
of
the
water
of
life
,
that
whoso
drinketh
freely
shall
neuer
thirst
againe
,
euen
of
the
fountaine
of
euer-liuing
waters
.
(
Oh
sweet
Iesu
)
thou
Lyon
of
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
,
preserue
my
soule
,
and
deliuer
it
from
the
mouth
of
the
rouring
Lyon.
Oh
holy
Spirit
,
proceeding
from
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
;
thou
Comforter
of
Gods
Elect
,
worke
in
my
heart
a
true
and
liualy
faith
,
whereby
I
may
quench
all
the
fiery
darts
of
the
deuill
,
and
may
with-stand
all
his
assaults
.
(
Oh
Lord
)
I
doe
confesse
it
is
my
weaknesse
that
maketh
him
so
strong
;
my
cowardlinesse
that
maketh
him
so
ventrous
;
my
bashfulnesse
that
maketh
him
bold
.
And
therefore
(
O
Lord
)
I
humbly
poure
out
my
soule
before
thee
this
night
,
praying
thee
to
increase
my
faith
,
to
strengthen
me
in
the
inward
man
,
to
arme
me
with
thy
spirituall
armour
;
giue
mee
strength
and
power
I
beseech
thee
most
blessed
Trinitie
,
to
fight
valiantly
against
Satan
,
and
wisely
to
preuent
all
his
practises
against
me
.
And
here
(
O
Lord
)
according
as
I
am
bound
,
I
render
vnto
thee
all
possible
praise
and
thankes
for
all
those
blessings
and
benefits
which
thou
so
graciously
and
plentifully
hast
bestowed
on
my
soule
and
body
,
for
this
life
,
and
that
which
is
to
come
;
namely
,
for
my
Election
,
Creation
,
Redemption
,
Vocation
,
Iustification
,
Sanctification
,
and
continuall
preseruation
vntill
this
present
day
and
houre
,
and
for
the
firme
hope
of
Glorification
;
and
likewise
,
for
my
health
,
wealth
,
foode
,
raiment
and
prosperity
:
more
especially
,
for
that
thou
hast
defended
me
this
day
now
past
from
all
dangers
both
of
soule
and
body
;
defend
me
,
O
Lord
,
this
night
,
and
likewise
all
the
rest
of
my
daies
and
nights
,
I
haue
to
liue
in
the
pilgrimage
of
this
sinfull
world
,
that
so
hauing
victory
through
Christ
I
may
sing
vnto
thee
the
blessed
Trinitie
,
All
Honour
,
Praise
,
Glory
,
Power
,
Might
and
Maiesty
,
be
to
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
both
now
and
for
euer
.
Amen
.
Our
father
which
art
in
heauen
,
&c.
And
so
my
soule
,
this
night
,
into
thy
hands
I
commit
.
The
Fathers
Repentant
teares
.
1
IF
that
a
sinners
sighes
be
Angels
food
,
Or
that
repentant
teares
be
Angels
wine
:
Accept
O
Lord
in
this
most
pensiue
mood
,
These
hearty
sighes
and
faithfull
teares
of
mine
,
That
went
with
Peter
forth
most
sinfully
.
But
not
as
Peter
wept
most
bitterly
.
2
If
I
had
Dauids
Crowne
to
me
betide
,
Or
all
his
purpled
clothes
that
I
might
weare
.
I
would
lay
then
such
honor
all
aside
.
And
onely
seeke
a
sackcloth
weed
to
beare
:
His
Palace
would
I
leaue
that
I
might
show
With
him
in
cell
for
such
offence
my
woe
.
3
There
should
these
hands
beat
on
my
pensiue
brest
,
And
sad
to
death
for
sorrow
rent
my
haire
.
My
voice
to
call
on
thee
should
neuer
rest
,
Whose
grace
I
seeke
,
whose
iudgements
I
doe
feare
:
Vpon
the
ground
all
groueling
on
my
face
.
I
would
beseech
thy
fauour
,
and
thy
grace
.
4
But
sith
I
haue
no
meane
to
make
the
show
Of
my
repentant
mind
,
and
yet
I
see
,
My
sinnes
to
greater
heapes
then
his
doe
grow
,
Whereby
the
danger
more
it
is
to
me
;
I
put
my
trust
in
his
most
pretious
blood
,
Whose
life
was
sold
to
purchase
all
our
good
.
5
Thy
mercy
greater
is
then
any
sin
:
Thy
greatnesse
none
can
euer
comprehend
:
Wherefore
O
Lord
let
mee
thy
mercies
winne
,
Whose
glorious
name
no
time
shall
euer
end
.
Wherefore
I
say
,
all
praise
belongs
to
thee
:
Whom
I
beseech
be
mercifull
to
me
.
