Let us now fall down before the Majesty of our good God in acknowledging our sins, and beseech him so to touch us, as that we may hate them, be rid of them, & forsake them. And yet so to support us in our weakness, as that he will not but have our service to please him although it be unperfect, & that there are many things in us which he may find fault withal.
