A meditation to be said of women with Child.

In time of trouble cal on mee,
And I will then deliuer thee.

The time drawes nie,
of bitter paineful throwes,
How long I shal
the same indure, God knowes,
O Lord my God
I humblie aske of thee,
Make haste sweet Christ,
and safe deliuer mee.
Although my sinne
deserued haue right well,
Such paine as this;
yea more then toong can tel
Yet ah, my God
turne not away thy face,
Nor me forsake,
in this so sharpe a case.
This wombe, and fruit
that springeth in the same
Hast thou create,
to glorie of thy name.

23

Opprest with paine,
O Lord when I shall be,
Make lesse the same,
so much as pleaseth thee,
And grant good God,
thy creature may proceed,
Safelie on liue,
with mercie at my need.
In Christes name,
I wil my trauel sho;
Now holy-ghost,
come comfort me in wo.
Come father deere,
& let thy power descend,
O Iesu Christ,
thy mercies great extend,
Ah God; behold
my dolor and my smart,
Sweet Holie-ghost,
my comforter thou art,
Take part with me,
and heare my woful crie.
Exaudi me,
Miserere mei.
Amen.
