¶ Beati quorum remissi sunt. Psal. xxxii. T. S.
¶ Dauid punished with greuous sicknes for his sinnes, counteth them happy to whom God doeth not impute theyr transgressions. And af∣ter that he had confessed his sinnes and obteyned pardon, he exhorteth the wicked men to lyue godly, and the good to reioyse.
THe man is blest, whose wickednes. the Lorde hath cleane remitted: * 1.1
And he whose sin and wretchednes, is hid and also couered.
[verse 2]
And blest is he to whom the Lorde, imputeth not hys sinne:
Whyche in hys hart hath hid no guile, nor fraude is founde therin.
[verse 3]
For whilst that I kept close my sinne, in silence and constraynt:
My bones did weare and wast away, with dayly mone and playnt.
[verse 4]
For night and day thy hand on me so greuous was and smert:
That all my bloud and humours moist, to drines did conuert.
[verse 5]
I did therfore confes my fault, and all my sinnes discouer:
Then thou (O Lord) diddest me forgeue, and all my sinnes passe ouer.
[verse 6]
The humble man shall pray therfore, and seke thee in due time:
So that the floudes of waters great, shall haue no power on hym.
