O Gracious God, bring me unto thy strong Cityd 1.1, say unto me in the worthi∣ness of thy son, thou good and faithfull servant, enter into thy Lords joye 1.2. O God thou seest how my sins have taken such holdf 1.3 upon me, that I cannot look up to thy holy place. Lord, break the chains of my sins, and let the pitifulnesse of thy great mercy loose me from
the bondage of sinne, the fear of death,* 1.4 the misery of this wretched life, & from the terrour and rigour of thy law, that I may believe and feele that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Lord, grant that we maybe fellow Citizens with the Saints, and never look for a resting place here; but let me say and sing with thy holy Prophet, If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning; yea, If I remember thee not, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Je∣rusalem in my(q 1.5) mirth
