There are three degrees of felicitie. 1. non of•endere. 2. noscere. 3. agnoscere peccata. The first is, not sin: the second, to know: the third, to acknowledge our offences. Let us then honour him by Confession, whom we have dishonoured by presumption. Though we have failed in the first part of Religion, an upright life, let us not fail in the second, a repentant acknowledgement. Though we cannot show GOD, with the Pharisee, an Inventory of our holy works: Item for praying: Item for fasting: Item for paying Tithes, &c. Yet (as dumb as we are and fearful to speak) we can write (with Zachaay. His name is John.) Grace, grace, and only grace. 1Meritum meum misericordia tua Domine. My merit, oh Lord, is only thy mercy. Or as another sung well.
