Church and Monarchy are yet so far still from bringing forth meet Fruits of Repentance that we have not as yet attained to any degree of Sight or Sense or Acknowledgment of our Estate much less to a hearty Humiliation or Contrition before thee for those Sins that have fetch'd down this Vengeance upon us We do now at length in the Bitterness of our Souls most heartily desire to cast down our selves prostrate before thee to put our Hands upon our Mouths and our Mouths in the Dust and acknowledge all Honour and Glory to be due to thee whatsoever becomes of us tho' it be in the Shame and Confusion and Condemnation both of our Bodies and Souls This is our only Portion O Lord this is the mildest that we have reason to expect to receive from thy Judgments in Retribution to our Sins and whatsoever is less than this whatsoever the Bitterness of our Cup in this Life tho' thou should'st cast us into the Place of Dragons and give us to drink of the Wine of Astonishment the most stupifying deadly Potion If thou should'st number us all to the Sword or pour out thy Fire and Brimstone upon us yet if by this chastning of us here thou please to rescue us from that sadder Doom of being condemned with the World this is a most inestimable Mercy of thine beyond all that we have hitherto so unworthily enjoyed O Lord we desire and profess to acquit thy Justice in thy Proceedings to admire thy Patience and Long-suffering to adore the infinite Bounty of thy Goodness towards us that we have not been as Admah and Zeboim as Sodom and Gomorrah that we have had this Day the Liberty to approach unto thee O Lord if it may at length be thy good Pleasure to come home to every of our Souls to strike our Hearts to break up this fallow Ground of ours that all thy precious Seed be no longer so cast away among Thorns and by the Power of thy mighty controuling Spirit that thou wilt once subdue all the Resistances of our Spirits against this most just most holy most reasonable Motion of Humiliation within us O Lord this is the one earnest desire of our Souls that hath cast us this Day low before thy Footstool with Cries and Tears and earnest Groans that thou wilt have mercy upon us that thou wilt thus powerfully reveal thy self unto us who hast thus long smitten and importunately called unto us that being at last returned unto thee in Confession of our Sins and Confusion of Face we may be capable of thy Return to us of the further Impressions of thy Grace and never more contradict quench or grieve that Holy Spirit of thine which hath so long wrestled and contended with us That so at length it may be seasonable with thee to give us the Comfort of thy Help again and the Confidence to approach thy Presence to praise that Majesty that hath not cast out our Prayers nor turned his Mercy from us To whom we desire to ascribe all Honour and Glory and Power and Praise now and for ever Amen A Confession of Sins O Lord great and wonderful God keeping Covenant and Mercy to them that love thee and to them that keep thy Commandments We have sinned with our Forefathers We our Kings our Priests and our Nobles and all the People of the Land and have rebelled even by departing from thy Precepts and thy Judgments By our impious and godless Thoughts of thee our Confidence in the Arm of Flesh by placing our Affections too much upon earthly things by neglecting to love and delight in thee by presuming of thy Mercies and yet continuing in our Sins we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By our want of Reverence to thy Service not considering the Awfulness of thy Presence and the Honour due to thee in thy House by our formal and hypocritical Worship by open Prophanation and Sacrilege by shews and pretences of Piety to cover our worldly and wicked Designs we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By vain and rash Oaths Blasphemies and Perjuries especially our careless Breaches of Oaths made to our Sovereign forgetting that such are the Oaths of God and that thou thy self in a more especial manner art a strict Avenger of them by our Execrations of our Selves and Brethren and our Enemies we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By our undervaluing thy publick Service and neglecting to bear a Part in it by mispending of that time either there or elsewhere in wanton or worldly Thoughts and Employments and not keeping the Spiritual Sabbath unto thee in serving thee truly all the Days of our Life By not duly observing the Times of Festivity or Fasting appointed by just Authority according to the Example of thy People in all Ages we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By not duly acknowledging thine Ordinance and Authority or the Persons of our Superiors by speaking evil of Dignities and reviling the Rulers of thy People by groundless Jealousies and Suspicions and mis-judging and censuring their Actions and at last proceeding to that highest and most horrible Pitch of Violation of that Image of thine imprinted on them by being as a People that strive with their Priest by not obeying those that have Rule over us and not submitting our selves to them who by Appointment watch over our Souls by neglecting the Care of those committed to our Charge not correcting those Sins which cried loud for exemplary Punishment we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By rash Anger and Malice Hatred and Revenge and the bloody Effects thereof by uncharitable Contentions and Divisions Factions and Animosities by Cruelties Unmercifulness and communicating in the Sins of Blood we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By the manifold Sins of Uncleanness by seeking or not avoiding the occasions thereof by Idleness Intemperance and Drunkenness by immodest Words and Gestures by our shameless boasting or not blushing at those Sins we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as at this Day By Theft Rapines and Oppression by vexatious Suits so much practised and countenanced by Exactions by unjust Gains in bargaining by defrauding the Labourer of his Hire by want of due Care in expending what we have and a good Conscience in acquiring more we have provoked and rebelled against thee O Lord Righteousness belongs to thee But unto us Confusion of Face as
