THe Lord our God is ryghtous and we with our fathers are brought to open shame, as it is to se this daye. And as for these plages that are come vpon vs alredye, the lorde had deuised them for vs, yet
wolde we not praye vnto the Lorde our God, that we myght euery man tourne from his naughty wayes. Therfor the Lord hath caused such plages to come vpon vs, for he is ryghteous in al his workes, that he hath cōmaunded vs, which we also haue not done nor harkened vnto his voyce, for to walke in the com∣maundementes of the Lorde, that he had gyuen vnto vs. And now O Lord God of Israell thou that hast brought thy people out of the lande of Egypte with a myghtye hande, with tokens and wonders with thy greate power & oute stretched arme and hast goten thy selfe a name, as it is come to passe this day, O Lord oure god we haue synned, we haue don wickedly, we haue behaued our selues vngodly in all thy ryghtous∣nesse. Tourne thy wrath frō vs (we
besech the) for we are but a fewe left amonge the Heythen, where thou hast scatered vs. Heare our prayers (O Lord) and our peticions, brynge vs out of bondage, for thyne owne sake, get vs fauoure in the syght of them which haue led vs awaye, that allandes may knowe that thou arte the Lord our god, and that Israell and his generaciō calleth vpon thy name. O Lorde loke downe frome thy holy house vpō vs, encline thine eare and heare vs. For the dead that be gone downe to their graues, and whose sowles are out of their body∣es, gyue vnto the Lorde neyther prayse nor ryghteousmakyng, but the soule that is vexed for the mul∣titude of her synnes, which walketh heuely and weakely, whose eyes be∣gyn to fayle, such a soule gyueth prayse and ryghteousnesse vnto the
lorde, O Lorde we powre out oure prayers before the, & require mercy in thy syght, not for any godlynes of our forefathers, but because thou hast sent out thy wrathe and indig∣nacion vpon vs, accordinge as thou dydest threaten vs by thy seruaūtes the Prophetes. O Lorde our God thou hast entreated vs after all thy goodnes and accordinge to all thy great louyng mercy, lyke as thou spakest by thy seruaunte Moses in the daye when thou dyddest com∣maunde hym to wryte thy lawe be∣fore the chyldren of Israel, sayenge. If ye wyl not harkē vnto my voyce then shall this greate multitude be tourned into a very small people for I wil scatter them abrode, notwith∣standing I am sure that this folke will not heare me, for it is an harde∣necked people, but in the lande of
their captiuitie they shall remembre thē selues, and lerne to knowe that I am the lord their god, whē I shall gyue them an hart to vnderstande, and eares to heare: then shall they prayse me in the lande of their cap∣tiuite, and thinke vpon my name. Then shall they tourne them from their harde backes, and from their vngodlynes. Then shall they remē∣ber the thinges that happened vnto their fathers, which synned agaynst me. So will I brynge them agayne in to the lande, which I promysed wt an othe vnto their fathers Abra∣ham, Isaac and Iacob, & they shall be lordes of it, yea I will encreace them, and not minishe them. And I wil make an other couenaunte with them, suche one as shall endure for euer, namely that I will be their God, and they shalbe my people, &
I will no more dryue my people the childern of Israell out of the lande that I haue gyuen them. And now O Lorde almyghtye, thou god of Israell, our soule that is in trouble & our spirite that is vexed, crye vnto the. Heare vs (o lorde) and haue pity vpon vs, for thou arte a mercyfull god. God be gracyous vnto vs for we haue synned before the. Thou endurest for euer, shuld we then vt∣terly peryshe? O lord almighty thou god of Israel: heare now the prayer of the deade Israelites and of their children, which haue synned before the, and haue not harkened vnto the voyce of ye lorde their god, for which cause these plages hange now vpon vs. Oh lord remēbre not the wicked¦nes of our forefathers, but thynke vpon thy power and name now at this tyme, for thou art the lorde our
God, and the (o lorde) will we prayse For thou hast put thy feare in oure hartes, to the intente we shulde call vpō thy name and prayse the in our captiuitie & that we myght tourne frome the wyckednes of our forefa∣thers that sinned before the. Behold we are yet this day in our captiuite wheras thou hast scatered vs to be an abominacion, curse, and syn, lyke as it hath happened vnto oure fore∣fathers, because of all their wycked∣nes and departinge frome the, euen frome the that arte the Lorde oure God. Amen.
