And commodylye I have lost / therefore ⟨image 123⟩will I cry more importunately: Make me again to rejoice in thy saving health restore me again that thing which my sins have lost. Restore me that which through my fault is perished in me. Restore me (I beseech thee for his sake that ever is on thy right hand and maketh intercession for us) thy gracious favour / that I may perceive that through him thou art pacified towards me / that it may be as a seal upon my heart / and that I may say with the Apostle Paul Gala. ij. I am crucified with Christ / I live verily / yet now not I / but Christ liveth in me.
And commodylye I haue loste / therfore ⟨image 123⟩will I crye more importunatlye: Make me agayne to reioyse in thy sauīge helth restore me agayne that thynge whych my sinnes haue lost. Restore me that whych thorow my faute is perysshed in me. Restore me (I besech the for his sake that euer is on thy ryght hande and maketh intercession for vs) thy gracious fauoure / that I maye perceaue that thorow hym thou art pacefyed towardes me / that it maye be as a seale vppon my harte / and that I maye saye wyth the Apostle Paule Gala. ij. I am crucefyed with Chryst / I lyue verelye / yet now not I / but Chryst lyueth in me.
But because my frailty is great / strength me with a principal spirit that no troubles or afflictions may separate me from Christ / that no fear may cause me to renay thee and that no pains may make me slide from thee. My strength is not sufficient to resist / and fight with that old serpent / and to prevail against him.
But because my frayltye is greate / strēght me wyth a pryncypall sprete that no troubles or afflyctions maye seperate me from Chryst / that no feare may cause me to renye the and that no paynes maye make me slyde from the. My strength is not suffycyent to resyst / and fyght wyth that olde serpent / and to preuayle agenst hym.
