We pray thee (O most merciful God) to forgive all our unthankfulness, unkindness, profaneness, and great abusing of all thy mercies, and especially our abuse and ⟨image 238⟩contempt of thy Gospel, together with all other the sins of our life, which we confess are innumerable, and more then can be reckoned up, both in omission of good things, and commission of evil. We most humbly entreat thee to set them all over to the reckoning which thy Son Christ hath made up for them upon his Cross, and never to lay any of them to our charge, but freely forget all, and forgive all. Nail down all our sins and iniquities to the Cross of Christ, bury them in his death, bathe them in his blood, hide them in his wounds, let them never rise up in judgement against us. Set us free of the miseries that are upon us for sin, and keep back the judgements to come, both of soul, body, goods, and good name. Be reconciled unto us in thy dear Son concerning all matters past, not once remembering or repeating unto us our old and abominable iniquities, but accept us as righteous in him, imputing his righteousness to us, and our sins to him. Let his righteousness satisfy thy justice for all our unrighteousness, his obedience for our disobedience, his perfection for our imperfection. Moreover, we humbly beseech thy good Majesty to give us the true sight and feeling of our manifold sins, that we may not be blinded in them through delight, or hardened in them through custom, as the reprobates are: but that we ⟨image 239⟩may be even weary of them, and much grieved for them, labouring and striving by all possible means to get out of them. Good Father, touch our hearts with true repentance for all sin. Let not us take any delight or pleasure in any sin, but howsoever we fall through frailty (as we fall often) let us never fall finally, let us never lye down in sin, nor continue in sin: but let us get up on our feet again, and turn to thee with all our hearts, and seek thee whilst thou mayest be found, and whilst thou dost offer grace and mercy unto us. O Lord, increase in us that true and lively faith, whereby we may lay sure hold on thy Son Christ, and rest upon his merits altogether. Give us faith assuredly to believe all thy great and precious promises made in the Gospel, and strengthen us from above to walk and abound in all the true and sound fruits of faith.
