O LORD fright our heart with a true sight and sense of all our sins.
O LORD fright our heart with a true sight and sence of all our sins.
O LORD persuade our hearts, that since thou didst not curse and ⟨p. 142⟩damn us, when we lay wallowing in horrible sins, thou wilt not now cast us away when we are converted, &c. Thou wilt rather pity us for our infirmities then condemn us for them.
O LORD perswade our hearts, that since thou didst not curse and ⟨p. 142⟩damne us, when we lay wallowing in horrible sinnes, thou wilt not now cast us away when wee are converted, &c. Thou wilt rather pitty us for our infirmities then condemne us for them.
Persuade our souls by that good experience we have had of thy goodness that thou wilt be our GOD for ever. Let us not so much fear and abhor the punishment and guilt of sin, but also the power and tyranny, whereby we are enforced to offend so loving and so gracious a Father.
