For grace to be truly penitent and sorrowfull for sinne.

LOrd turne thou me, and I shall be turned.

Lord grant me true repentance for my ledgenes.

O that my sorrow were true godly sor∣ledgeow, which might cause in me repentance ledgeever to be repented of.

O thou which broughtest water out of ledgee hard rock, smite my flinty heart with ledgee remorse for my sinnes.

Oh that mine head were full of water, ledged mine eies a fountaine of teares, that I ledgeight weepe day and night for the sinnes ledgef my soule.

Lord grant me that broken, and contrite ledgepirit, which thou wilt never despise.

Oh that I could weepe bitterly, with Peter; that I could wash my bed, and ledgeeter my couch every night with my ledgeeares, with David; yea, that my teares for ledgeinne, might be to me (as his teares were to ledgeim) my meate day and night.
