¶Readiness of God to hear sinners.
¶Reddines of God to heare sinners.
That we shall not think that God will not hear us / Isaiah saying before they cry I shall hear / and while they yet speak / I shall answer / and also if at even / come sorrow or calamity / before the morning spring I shall redress & turn gladness / and his most comfortable word / spoken not to carnal Israel only / but to all men sore oppressed / abiding Gods deliverance. From a moment and a little season have I turned my face from thee / but in everlasting mercy shall I comfort thee.

Frome a moment and a lyttel season haue I turned my face frome the / but in euerlastinge mercye shall I comforte the.
