And wilt not thou thy foes confound That thus thy works reprove? At least yet for thy names sake Their vile intents remove.
And wylt not thou thy fooes confoūd That thus thy workes reproue? At least yet for thy names sake Their vile intentes remoue.
For why, as for our own deserts We can no such thing have. It is for thy great mercies sake That we such things do crave.
For why, as for our owne desertes We can no suche thynge haue. It is for thy great mercies sake That we suche thynges do craue.
¶Forgive us Lord entreated be To hear us make no stay We bear thy name, it is thy cause Oh Lord make no delay.
¶Forgyue vs Lorde intreated be To heare vs make no staye We beare thy name, it is thy cause Oh Lorde make no delaye.
