Hitherto (O almighty God the beholder and searcher of mine hart) have I acknowledged thal mightifulnes of thy majesty, & majesty of thine almightifulnes. But now, like as with hart I believe (which is counted righteousness unto me) so with mouth do I confess before thee (which is to my salvation) after what sort and manner thou didst vouchsafe in the end of the world, to succour and aid mankind. Thou (in deed) only (O ⟨p. 73⟩God the father) art not red at any time, or in any place to be sent. But of thy Son: the Apostle writeth. When that the time was fulfilled: God sent his Son. In that he saith (he sent) he doth sufficiently declare that he, being sent, came into this world, when as he (being borne a very & perfect man of blessed Mary a pure Virgin) did appear and show him self in the flesh. But what is that, which he that is the chief of the Evangelists doth say? He was in the world and the world was made my him. Thither, truly, was he sent by his humanity, where he alway is and ⟨image 75⟩alway hath been by his divinity. The which sending or embassage, I believe withal my hart and confess with my mouth to be the consent and work of all the whole Trinity. Oh holy & good father, how didst thou love us? How great favour didst thou bear toward us most merciful creator? which haste not spared thine own Son, but for us wretched sinners hast delivered him. He was obedient unto thee until death, yea death upon a cross, taking the obligation or hand writing of our sins, which was his flesh & fastening it unto the cross, he crucified sin and ⟨p. 74⟩killed death. He a lone, is amongst the dead, free from death, having power to put his soul for us, & to take it again for us. Therefore was he both a vanquisher and a sacrifice, and therefore was he an overcomer, because he was a sacrifice for us. He was both the priest & sacrifice, unto thee, and therefore was he a priest, because he was a sacrifice. Not without a cause have I great hope in him. Forasmuch as thou wilt make whole all my diseases, for his sake that sitteth on thy right hand and doth continually make intercession for us. For my diseases (O Lord) are great and many: ⟨image 76⟩oh they are many in number & great. For the Prince of this world (as I very well know & confess) hath many things in me.
HItherto (O almighty God the beholder and sercher of mine hart) haue I acknowledged thal mightifulnes of thy maiesty, & maiesty of thine almightifulnes. But now, like as with hart I beleue (whiche is counted righteousnes vnto me) so with mouth doo I confes before thee (whiche is to my saluation) after what sort and maner thou didst vouchsafe in the end of the world, to succour and aid mankinde. Thou (in deed) only (O ⟨p. 73⟩God the father) art not red at any time, or in any place to be sēt. But of thy sonne: the Apostle writeth. When that ye time was fulfilled: God sent his sonne. In that he saith (he sent) he doth sufficiently declare that he, being sent, came into this world, when as he (being borne a very & perfect man of blessed Mary a pure Uirgin) did apeer and shew him self in ye flesh. But what is that, whiche he that is the cheef of the Euangelists dooth say? He was in the world and the world was made my him. Thither, truely, was he sent by his humanitie, where he allway is and ⟨image 75⟩alway hath bene by his diuinitie. The whiche sending or embassage, I beleeue withall my hart and confes with my mouth to be the consent and wurk of al the whole Trinitie. Oh holy & good father, how didst thou loue vs? How great fauour didst thou bear toward vs moste mercifull creator? whiche haste not spared thine owne sonne, but for vs wretched sinners hast deliuered him. He was obedient vnto thee vntill death, yea death vpon a cros, taking ye obligation or hād writing of our sinnes, whiche was his fleshe & fastening it vnto the cros, he crucified sin and ⟨p. 74⟩kild death. He a lone, is amongst the dead, free from death, hauing power to put his soule for vs, & to take it again for vs. Therfore was he bothe a vanquisher and a sacrifice, and therfore was he an ouercommer, because he was a sacrifice for vs. He was bothe ye preest & sacrifice, vnto thee, and therfore was he apreest, because he was a sacrifice. Not without a cause haue I great hope in him. Forasmuche as thou wilt make whole all my diseases, for his sake that sitteth on thy right hād and dothe continually make intercession for vs. For my diseases (O Lorde) are great and many: ⟨image 76⟩oh they are many in number & great. For the Prince of this world (as I very well knowe & confes) hath mani things in me.
