110 Lord, thou haddest once by thy singular bounty changed me and renewed me by the great and only grace of thy spirit, having framed mine understanding to know thee, my judgement to approve thee, my will to love thee, and to take pleasure in thy commandments so pure & holy: At once, thou haddest made me a new creature. But into what darkness have I turned this light? I have marred all, I have destroyed and overturned all, and therefore, O God, begin again as it were anew thy work: be the creator of this inward man now the second time,2 spreading forth thy force such as may pierce to the bottom of me, that thou mayest form in me (as it were) a new soul, detesting all sin, given to whatsoever is good and right.
