Merciful father of our Saviour Jesus Christ, because I have sinned and done wickedly, & through thy goodness have received a desire of repentance, whereto this thy long sufferance doth draw my hard hart. I beseech thee for thy mercies sake in CHRIST, to work the same repentance in me and by thy spirit, power, & grace so to humble, mortify, and tear my conscience for my since to salvation, that in thy good time thou mayest comfort and quicken me again through Jesus Christ thy dearly beloved Sonne. Amen.
