The teares or lamentations of a sorrowfull Soule | ||
4. The fourth part.
The repentant sheweth that the Fathers were iustified onely by grace in Iesus Christ: And therefore desireth that his sinnes may also bee couered in Christ his righteousnes: and then (complaining that his prayers are not heard) commendeth himselfe to God, whose good pleasure he still attendeth in steadfast faith & hope.
37
Ovr fathers Lord were comforted,steength'ned relieued & blest:
Onely by grace and iustified,
as righteous men in Iesus Christ.
38
Impute not sinne vnto my charge,not for my merrit and desert:
58
all those that bee of contrite heart.
39
Thou Lord full of compassion,and in thy mercies infinite:
Beare with my imperfection,
and let me in thy lawes delight.
40
Couer my sinnes, as right'ous take meand right'ous shall I euer bee:
That right'ous am not, right'ous make me
in Christ O Lord cosider mee.
41
O Lord what can it profit thee,mee to forsake or leaue in thrall:
As though thou did'st disualew mee,
my dayly cries and offerings all.
42
My troubles yet continue still,I seeke thee, and am yet denied:
Of earthly blessings, do thy will,
thy name be alwaies glorified.
43
Wretch that I am, what end shall be,I still complaine, I sigh, and cry:
I cry and call, yet heerest not me,
I still will seeke thee till I die.
