for the peace of Ierusalē let them prosper that loue thee The Prophet Ioel least the Assirians army should as a great stood swallow vp the tribe of Iuda plagued before of God by famine for their sinnes calleth them earnestly to fasting and teares least they shold be dumbe in this excellēt action he giueth the priestes in charge to pray thus vnto the maiestie of God Spare thy people O Lorde Ioel. 2.16.17 and giue not thy heritage into reproch that the heathen should rule ouer them Our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ least his disciples in praying should fall into the vaine repetitions and much babling of the heathen deliuered to them a shorte but yet an excellent forme of praier in these wordes Our Father which art in Heauen c. As Dauid Ioel Christ and Hoseas did so must we If we shal haue to do with them which are contrite and broken in spirite it is not inough to speake thus vnto them pray to the lord pray to the lorde pray to the lorde but we must teach them with what words they may procure his fauour So shall we heale a wounded conscience and it will easily appéere that we haue applied our plaister aright with the skilfull Surgian and our medicine aright with the learned Phisician Take away all iniquitie This is an excellent prayer and consistes of two parts In the first the Israelits confesse that thei dranke iniquitie as water in the second part thei desire pardon The first part is conteined in these wordes all iniquitie the seconde in these wordes take away Cōcerning the first the Israelits dealt very Christianly when they gaue sentence against thēselues spared not thēselues the the Lord might spare them If they had pleaded not guiltie and had impudently cried that they had not offended the maiestie of God they had lost their labour had reached him an iron rod to beate them in péeces with Notable therfore is that spéech of the prophet Dauid Psal 32.5 I said I will confesse against my selfe my wickednes vnto the Lord.

They that haue offended God by any notable sinne if they will seriously call the rest of their life to a reckoning it wil be cléere vnto them that their sins cannot be told on their fingers or trussed vp in a fardel and therfore thei must cry with the prophet Dauid Psal 11.12 Who can vnderstand his faultes cleanse me from my secrete faultes I could if I listed tary longer in this argument but bicause I desire to be bréefe and yet to haue varietie I will remember in a worde or two that the Israelits after the confession of their sinnes desired pardon The confession of our sinnes sauoureth of a good and godly minde but vnlesse desire of pardon be ioyned with it we saile in a shipp that hath a hole in the bottome Cain after that he had murdered his brother Abel gaue out this spéech My sinne is greater then can be pardoned Gen. 4.13 Iudas after that he had betrayed his master Christ Mat. 27.4 said I haue sinned betraying the innocent blood But bicause Cain Iudas did here as it were ride at an anchor they made shipwracke of euerlasting life The Israelites of whom Hoseas speaketh were not of the same parish that Cain Iudas were thei desire pardon It profiteth not the wounded man to looke on his woundes vnlesse he call for a Surgian neither the sick man to know his disease vnlesse he cal for the Phisician I will add a third thing neither doth the hatred of sinne profite the sicke wounded sinner vnlesse he craue for mercy at the hands of God the most skilfull both Phisician Surgian Dauid when the staffe of his sinnes had so galled his heart that he felt as it were a gréeuous hell within him both humbly and earnestly desireth pardon Psal 51.1.2.7 9.14 Haue mercy vpō me O God according to thy louing kindnes according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities Wash me throughly from mine iniquitie cleanse me frō my sin Purge me with Hisop I shal be cleane wash me and I shal be whiter than snow hide thy face from my sinnes and put away all mine iniquities Deliuer me frō blood O God c Daniel when the Israelites had béen longe in captiuitie at Babylon desireth pardon of his their sinnes and that it would please the maiestie of God to perform his promise for their return frō Babilon O Lord heare O Lord forgiue Daniel 9.19 O Lord consider do it deferr not for thine owne sake O my God The Publicane in the Gospel albéeit he durst not lift vp his eies to heauen yet he smote his brest desired forgiuenesse of his sinnes Luke 18.13 O God be merciful to me a sinner We our selues groning vnder the burden of our sinnes must hunger and thirst for the grace of God therefore craue pardon of our sinnes Almightie God is not such a one as Minos or Rhadamanthus was he is not a iudge that will not be intreated He is therefore mercifull bicause he is God The lawes of Draco the Atheniā were written with blood Aristot pol. 2. nothing in them is worthy of remembrance but extremitie of punishment But Gods lawes are written with milke Psal 130.4 Mercy is with God that he may be feared Aske and it shal be giuen you Matt. 7.7
