which maketh mee vn∣worthie to come before thee, not onely in regard of mine originall corruption, which I traduced from disobedient Adam: But in regard of my continuall sinnes, and actuall euils which I daylye commit against thee, whereby I can not but become offensiue vnto thee, and euer lo•••• ••••me in thy sa∣cred eyes. But a ••s such is mine estate, being considered, as it is in and of my selfe, that I can bring forth no better fruites, then the tree of Adams disobedience, whose rootes as they are sinne, so beare they sinne in me, and consequent∣ly procure death and destruction. But deare Father, as by Adam sinne entred and tooke hold of him selfe and all his posteritie. So by thy Sonne we are all Justified by our adoption into his righte∣ousnesse of thy free loue: If wee take hold of thy promises in him, and become obedient as hee is o∣bedient vnto thee. And therefore deare Father howsoeuer our cor∣ruptions as they are in vs, of our selues haue be wrapped vs in

bondage to sinne and death, let thy Sonnes merites bee vnto vs a sufficient ransome for our e∣uerlasting libertie, not onely to come freely vnto the throne of thy grace, but in the ende to obtaine the ioyes eternal with him in hea∣uen. Amen.
O Lord increase our faith.
