Epa. Lord hearken unto my prayer, and give ear to my most humble requests, O most merciful God, O father of all mercies, the father of our ⟨p. 482⟩Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, be merciful to me a sinner. Have pity on me, and quickly help me poor wretch, for the most bitter passion and most precious death of Jesus Christ, thy only begotten Son, and our alone redeemer and Saviour.
1Enter not into judgement with thy servant, O Lord. Handle me not according to my deserts and merits, neither reward me after mine iniquities, but for thine infinite and unmeasurable bounty, and exceeding great mercy, receive me and take me into thy favour, I miserable & weak creature, am in thy hand.2 I am thy bond servant and thy debtor. O most gentle God, o most favourable father, forsake me not, cast me not away pore wretch that I am. For I am thine withal that ever I can make. No man is able to strengthen me, ⟨p. 483⟩no man is able to deliver me, no man is able to help me, but thou alone. Thou art the true helper in adversity. Thou art the most sure & present comfort in all necessity. Thou alone art our helper, our bulwark, our fortress & our most mighty & strongly defenced tour. Thou o god, art our refuge. Thou art our strength. Thou art our helper in all our tribulations. In the (O Lord) do I trust, let me not be confounded. Let me never be put to shame, let me not be deceived of my hope, but preserve me for thy righteousness sake. Bow down thine ear unto me, make haste to deliver me. Be my defender O god & my strong hold, that thou mayest save me, For thou art my strength, and my refuge. Yea thou art my God, and my destinies are in thy hands. Lighten thy countenance upon thy servant,3 and save me for thy ⟨p. 484⟩mercies sake, O Lord. And forasmuch (O sweet father) as it is thy godly pleasure to call me now from this miserable life and wretched world, I most entirely beseech the• so to defend me in this agony o• death, that neither satan nor his ministers prevail against me, but that I continue faithful and constant unto the end, in the confession of thy holy name, looking for full remission of all my sins in the precious blood of thy well-beloved Son and my only saviour Jesus Christ, and that I departing in this faith and perfect trust, may be placed among thy blessed saints and heavenly spirits, and so for ever and ever remain with thee in glory.

Lorde harken vnto my prayer, and geue ear to my most humble requestes, O moste mercifull God, O father of all mercies, the father of oure ⟨p. 482⟩Lorde and sauiour Iesus Christ, be mercifull to me a sinner.
