¶ For the true knowledge of our selves.

¶ For the true knowledge of our selues.

IT is written in thy holy Gospel, most loving Saviour that thou cammest into ⟨p. 27⟩this world not to call the righteous, that is such as justify them selves, but sinners unto repentance. Suffer me not therefore (o lord) to be in the nun ber of those justiciaries, which boasting their own righteousness, their own works, and merits, despise that righteousness that cometh by faith, which alone is allowable before thee. Give me grace to know & to knowledge my self as I am even the son of wrath by nature, a ⟨image 29⟩wretched sinner, and an unprofitable servant, & wholly to depend on thy merciful goodness with strong and unshaken faith, that in this world, thou mayest continually call me unto true repentance, seeing I continually sin, and in the world to come bring me unto everlasting glory.
