I.

ALmighty and eternal God, the fountain of all vertue, the support of all holy hope, the Author of pardon, of life, and of salvation; thou art the comforter of all that call upon thee; thou hast concluded all under sin, that thou mightest have mercy upon all: Look upon me O God, and have pity on me lying in my blood and misery, in my shame and in my sins, in the fear and guilt of thy wrath, in the shadow of death, and in the gates of hell. I confesse to thee O God what thou knowest already; but I confesse it to manifest thy justice, and to glorifie thy mercy who hast spared me so long, ••hat I am guilty of the vilest and basest follies which usually dishonour the fools and the worst of the sons of men.
