1O Eternal (for to whom shall I address my self but to thee who art as puissant to heal as to smite) give me leave to bewray my complaint: not to plain me of thee, who doest nothing but well, and whose ire, I confess I have pulled upon me, for my trespasses: but to beseech thee, that according to thy promises thou wilt not use against me that judgement which thou reservest for such as thy fury and most fearful indignation will quite destroy: But rather thy fatherly manner of chastising how rough and sharp soever it may seem to this flesh.2
