O LORD our GOD, high and mighty, great and fearful, which dwellest in the highest Heavens and light that no man can attain unto, which by thy great power hast created Heaven and Earth and all things therein contained, and by thy wise providence ⟨p. 140⟩directest every thing unto an excellent end.
O LORD our GOD, high and mighty, great and fearefull, which dwellest in the highest Heavens and light that no man can attaine unto, which by thy great power hast created Heaven and Earth and all things therein contained, and by thy wise providence ⟨p. 140⟩directest every thing unto an excellent end.
If thou shouldest deal with us in justice, we deserve to be plagued with all the horrible and fearful plagues of Egypt in this world, and hereafter to be perpetually damned, both in body and soul in the lake of hell fire, where there is nothing but endless woe, weeping and gnashing of teeth. If there be any sin we have not committed, it was because we wanted means, opportunity, enticement, temptation, ⟨p. 141⟩or something, not for want of a sinful disposition in us. If thou shouldest deal with us, as we have dealt with thee, we should be presently damned eternally. If thou shouldest be as careless of us, as we have been of thee, and the salvation of our souls, we should never see thy face in Heaven.
