I Confess, O Lord, it is an ex∣cess of holdness in me, that I so poor a Worm, so vile, so contemptible a Creature, should presume to speak to Thee: Yet be not angry with me for this, for it is not because I value my self more than Abraham did (for if he were but dust and ashes, what am I?) but because I dare not under value Thy Mercy, that I make my humble approaches to Thee. Behold, I am nothing in mine own eyes, O let me be something in Thine; and dis∣d••in me not when I speak unto Thee, for Christ his sake.
Amen.
