ing of sedition, the contempt of thy graces offered, and the maintein-

contempt of the pore, wherewith, alas, the whole earth is re-
plenished. We have nothing, O Lord, that we may lay betwixt
us and thy judgement but thyne only mercio, freely offred to us in
thy deare Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, purchased to us by his
death and passion. For if thou wilt enter in judgement with thy
creatures, and keepe in minde our greivous synnes and offences.
