An other prayer out of the same Psalme.
We acknowledge (O most mighty God) with how great a pernicious infection of sins we have defiled our minds: which thing seeing that it is most troublesome and exceedingly grieveth us, neither can we (through our own strength and good works) wash out the spots already conceived: but this is our only refuge, that we may come unto thee being the well spring of mercy, so that thou having compassion upon us, mayest do away our grievous offences, wash away our deadly iniquities, blot out our heinous ⟨image 81⟩sins, and purify again our vices, wherewith we are wonderfully infected even from our conception and birth. For if thou wilt most frankly pardon the misdeeds and wickedness wherewith we are sore burdened, then verily shalt thou appear to be exceeding true, faithful, and most constant in thy faithful promises. Vouchsafe to sprinkle us with the blood of thy only begotten son, by which one sovereign thing both the soul and body may be renewed with a marvellous comfortable joy. We earnestly desire a new heart to be created in our bowels, and to be endued also with thy most noble spirit, to the intent we may not compelled, but with right good will, offer unto thee a sacrifice of a troubled and contrite heart, which thou never usest to contemn: that finally being so cleansed by thy gracious favour and loving mercy, we may always offer unto thee an acceptable sacrifice of thanksgiving, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
