And knowing that Holiness and Justice require the punishment of Sin, we next beseech thee to look on us in Christ whom thy Love and Mercy sent into the world to be a Sacrifice and Propitiation for sin; whose perfect Righteousness and Sacrifice have merited that pardon and grace, which he hath given in his Covenant, and proclaimed and offered to us all in the Gospel: Forgive all the sins of our former life, and the remaining corruption of our hearts, and the daily faults that we are guilty of in our state of imperfection. And knowing that thou forgivest none but penitent believers; and bindest us to love and forgive others as ever we would be forgiven, we confess and lament our manifold sins, of corrupt nature and practice, of ignorance and of knowledge, of negligence, rashness and presumptuous wilfulness; The remembrance of them is our grief and shame, we loath our selves for them, and earnestly beg to be healed of them: we cast our selves by believing Trust (tho alas too weak) on Jesus our Saviour his Merits and Intercession, and thy Love and Mercy and promises in him, desiring henceforth to be ⟨image 12⟩rolled by him and sanctified by his Spirit and Grace; And we unfeignedly love and forgive all those that have wronged us: we beseech thee therefore charge not our sins upon us, but acquit us from the everlasting punishment, and all vindictive penalties in this life, on Soul or Body: And grant the same to all our brethren for whom we pray.
