❧A Meditation of à penitent sinner, vpon the 51. Psalme.
1Have mercy, God, for thy great mercies sake. O God: my God, unto my shame I say, Being fled from thee, so as I dread to take Thy name in wretched mouth, and fear to pray Or ask the mercy that I have abused. But, God of mercy, let me come to thee: Not for justice, that justly am accused: Which self word Justice so amaseth me, That scarce I dare thy mercy sound again. But mercy, Lord, yet suffer me to crave. Mercy is thine: Let me not cry in vain, Thy great mercy for my great fault to have. Have mercy, God, pity my penitence With greater mercy than my great offence.
