XXXV. [THE SAME.]
Lord, for my missis micht I mak a mends,By putting me to penance as thou pleasd!
Good God! forgive offenders that offends,
And heall the hurt of sik as are diseasde;
Hou soon they murne, with mercy thou [art measde]
As thou hes said; and surely so it semes:
Suppose my silly saull with sin be seasde,
Ȝit the reversiones rests that it redemes.
Destroy me not, that so of the estemes,
My suete Redemer; let me neuer die,
Bot blink on me euen with Thy blisful b[eames,]
And mak ane other Magdelene of me.
Forgive my gylt, sen nane bot God is gude;
So with “Peccavi Pater” I conclude.
