Behold Lord I stand before thy face that I may find mercy I stand before thy benign goodness looking for thy favourable answer cast me not confused from thy face who came ever. Lord unto thee and went away confused. Who ever desired thy ⟨image 119⟩favour / and went with out it. Surely thou passest in thy abundant pity both the deservings and also the desires of them that pray unto thee / for thou givest more then men can desire ye or understand when they have it. It was never hard that thou didst cast away from they face any man that ever came unto the Shall I Oh Lord be the first that shall be cast away from thy face and utterly confounded? wilt thou begin at me to confound them that come unto thee? wilt thou never more have mercy and compassion? God forbid. The woman of Canaan followed the / she cried and made a piteous noise / she moved thy disciples / unto compassion / and thou holdest thy peace / she continued knocking / she worshipped thee and said. Lord help me / nether yet wouldest thou answer. Thy disciples entreated for her saying: let her goo for she crieth after us. But what was thine answer Lord I pray the / what didst thou answer: for south that she wept in vain / and laboured for nought / for thou saidst that thou wast not sent but unto the sheep that were perished of the house of Israel.
Behold Lorde I stande before thy face that I maye fynde mercye I stonde before thy benigne goodnes lokinge for thy fauourable āswere cast me not cōfused frō thy face who came euer. Lorde vnto the and went awaye confused. Who euer desyred thy ⟨image 119⟩fauoure / and went wyth out it. Surelye thou passest in thy aboundant pytye both the deseruinges and also the desires of thē that praye vnto the / for thou geuest more then men can desyre yee or vnderstonde whē they haue it. It was neuer harde that thou dydst cast awaye from they face any man that euer came vnto the Shall I Oh Lorde be the first that shall be cast awaye from thy face and vtterlye confoūded? wilt thou beginne at me to confounde them that come vnto the? wilt thou neuer more haue mercye and cōpassion? God forbidde. The woman of Canane folowed the / she cryed and made a pytuous noyse / she moued thy dysciples / vnto compassion / and thou hyldest thy peace / she contynued knockynge / she worshipped the and sayd. Lorde helpe me / nether yet woldest thou answere. Thy dyscyples entreated for her sayenge: let her goo for she cryeth after vs. But what was thyne answere Lorde I praye the / what dydst thou answere: for south that she wepte in vayne / and laboured for nought / for thou saydst that thou wast not sent but vnto the shepe that were perysshed of the house of Israel.
