T*what time foever a finner doth repent him of his finne from the bottome of his heart, I will put all his wickedneffe out of my remembrance, faith the Lord.

* I do know mine own wickedneffe, and my finne is alway against me.

*

Turuthy face away from our finnes, O Lord, and blot out all our offences, *Aforrowfull fpirit is a facrifice to God:defpife not, Lord,humble and contrite hearts. *Rent your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God, because he is gentle and mercifull, he is patient, and of much mercy, and fuch a one that is fory for your afflictions.

*To thee, O Lord God, belongeth mercy and forgiveneffe,for we have gone away from thee, and have not hearkened to thy voice, whereby we might walk in thy laws with thon hait appointed for us.

"Correct us, O Lord, and yet in thy judge ment, not in thy furie, left we fhould be con famed and brought to nothing.

* Amend your lives, for the kingdome of God is at hand.

*I will go to my Father, and fay to him, Father, I have finned against heaven, and against thee: I am no more worthy to be cald thy fonne.

*Enter not into judgement with thy fervants, O Lord: for no flesh is rightcous in thy Gaht.

If we fay that we have no finne, we deceive our felves, and there is no truth in us.

Early beloved brethren, the fcripture moveth us in fundry places, to acknowledge and confeffe our manifold finnes and wickedneffe,and that we should not diffemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father, but confeffe them with an humble,lowly,penitent,and obedient heart, to the end that we may obtain forgive

neffe of the fame, by his infinite goodnes and mercy. And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our finnes before God,yet ought we moft chiefly fo to do,when we affemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praife,to heare his most holy word, and to ask thofe things which be requifite and neceffary,afwell for the body as the foul. Wherefore I pray and befeech you as many as be here prefent, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, faying after me.

Lmighty and moft mercifuli Father, we Ahave erred and frayed from thy wayes like loft fheep we have followed too much the devices and defires of our own hearts; we have offended against thy holy laws: we have left undone thofe things which we ought to have done, and we have done thofe things which we ought not to have done: and there is no health in us:but thou, O Lord,have mer cy upon us miferable offenders: Spare thou them, O God,which confeffe their faults: Reftore thou them that be penitent, according to thy promifes declared unto mankinde in Chrift Jefu our Lord: and grant, molt mercifull Father, for his fake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and fober life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.

The abfolution or remißion of finnes to be pronounced by the minister alone.

Lmighty God, the Father of our Lord Jefus Chrift, which defireth not the death of a finner,but rather that he may turn from his wickedneffe and live, and hath given power and commandment to his minifters, to declare and pronounce to his people being penitent,the abfolution and remiflion of their finnes, he pardoneth and abfolveth all them which truly repent, and unfeignedly beleeve his holy gofpel, Wherefore we beseech him
