A PRAYER TOO THEE TRINITYE.
TRinitee blessed, deitee coëqnal,
Vnitee sacred, God one eeke in essence,
Yeeld toe thy seruaunt, pitifullye calling
Merciful hyring.
Ʋertuus liuing dyd I long relinquish,
Thy wyl and precepts miserablye scorning,
Graunt toe mee, sinful pacient, repenting,
Helthful amendment.
Blessed I iudge hym, that in hert is healed:
Cursed I know hym, that in helth is harmed:
Thy physick therefore, toe me, wretch vnhappye,
Send, mye Redeemer.
Glorye too God, thee father, and his onlye
Soon, the protectoure of vs earthlye sinners,
Thee sacred spirit, laborers refreshing,
Stil be renowmed. Amen.
