Have mercy upon me (oh god) according to thy grace mercy.

Haue mercye apon me (oh god) accordinge to thy grace mercye.

God which dwellest in light that no man can attain / God which are hid and canst not be seen with bodily eyes / nor comprehended with any understanding that ever was made nether expressed with the tongues of men or angels. My god: the / which art incomprehensible do I seek: the / which canst not be expressed do I call upon what tinge so ever thou art / which art in every place. I know that thou art the most high and excellent thing / if thou be a thing and not rather the cause of all thing / if I may so call thee / for I find no name by the which I may name or express thine inenarrable majesty. God (I say) which art all things that are in thee / for thou art even thine own wisdom / thy power and thy most glorious felicity. Seeing therefore that thou art merciful / what art thou but even the very mercy it self? And what am I / but very misery? Behold therefore o god which art mercy / behold misery is before the / what shalt thou do mercy? truly thy work canst thou do ⟨image 104⟩otherwise then thy nature is? And what is thy work? verily to take away misery / and to lift up them that are in wretched condition / therefore have mercy on me oh god. God I say which art mercy take a way my misery / take a way my since / for they are mine extreme misery. Lift up me which am so miserable show thy work in me / and exercise thy power upon me. One depth requireth another / the depth of misery requireth the depth of mercy. The depth of sin areth the depth of grace and favour. Greater is the depth of mercy then the depth of misery. Let therefore the one depth swallow up the other. Let the bottomless depth of mercy swallow up the profound depth of misery.

God which dwellest in light that no man can attayne / God whych are hid and canst not be sene with bodelye yies / nor comprehended with any vnderstondinge that euer was made nether expressed with the tōgues of mē or angels. My god: the / whych arte incomprehēsible do I seke: the / which cāst not be expressed do I call vppon what tinge so euer thou arte / which arte in euerye place. I knowe that thou arte the most hye and excellēt thinge / yf thou be a thinge and not rather the cause of all thinge / yf I maye so calle the / for I finde no name by the which I maye name or expresse thyne inenarrable magestye. God (I saye) which arte all thinges that are in the / for thou arte euen thyne awne wysdom / thy power and thy most gloryouse felycyte. Seynge therfore that thou arte mercyfull / what arte thou but euen the verye mercye it selfe? And what am I / but verye miserye? Behold therfore o god which arte mercye / behold myserye is before the / what shalt thou do mercye? truelye thy worke canst thou do
