[XIII. A confessioun of wyrschip in orysoun.*. [So the title in the Index.]]
God þat al hast mad of nouht,
ffor loue of mon þat þou hast bouht;
Wher in þe world so þat i be,
Wiþ al myn herte I þonke þe:
4
¶ Þat þou me madest on of þyne,
And bouhtest me wiþ bitter pyne.
I þonke þe, lord, wiþ good entent
Of wit and grace þou hast me sent.
8
¶ Wiþ al myn herte and mylde moode
I þonke þe, lord, of alle gode.
I preye þe, lord, þou graunte me miht
Wiþ al myn herte to loue þe riht.
12
¶ I preye þe, lord, out and Inne
Þat þou me schilde from dedly synne;
I preye þe, lord, þat þou me wisse
And bring me to þi muchele blisse. Amen.
