¶ For a pure and clean Hart.
¶ For a pure and clene Hart.
The hart of man naturally is lewd and unsearchable through the multitude of sins, which as in a stinking ⟨p. 28⟩dunghill lieth buried in it, in so much that no man is able to say: mi hart is clean and I am clean from sin. Remove from me therefore (O heavenly Father) my lewd, stony, stubborn, stinking and unfaithful hart. Create in me a clean hart free from all noisome and ungodly thoughts. Breath into my hart by thy holy spirit, godly and spiritual motions, that out of the good treasure of the hart, I may bring forth good things unto the praise and glory of thy ⟨image 30⟩name.
