the curing of the soule But O Lord our paine continueth and notwithstanding when thou doest afflict vs is it not to rowze in vs the sense of sinne Well but now I feele it Is it not to breake our hearts Behold my heart is broken softned soaked in teares before thee Is it not to bow vs to repentance Why O Lord I am displeased in my selfe and with my selfe hereafter will I doe nought but please thee will not please my selfe but in thee And therefore my God why doest thou continue thy blowes thy blowes that doe no more visit but trouble my soule thy blowes which seeme to hold no more of thy mercy but of thine anger thy blowes which cast mee into despaire O Lord how long thus this flesh speaketh O Lord pardon it and it seemeth vnto it that it hath well spoken and thereupon the Deuill displayes his arguments Seest thou not that hee hateth thee and will destroy thee That he is a hard and strict Creditour And vnto whom doest thou crie Who is too much diuerted to heare thee too farre to hearken vnto thee vnto whom cry how long who is aboue yeares ages and times with whom a thousand yeares is as one day thy longings and languishings are lesse to him than a moment Certainly O Lord for all that how high soeuer thou art the most lowliest and humblest doe attaine vnto thee how much retired soeuer thou seemest to bee thou art neuer farre from the hearts of the afflicted So is it also O Lord that thy eternity makes thee not ignorant of the time and though thou art voyd of passion thou art not exempted from compassion towards thine Thou hast measured the time vnto thy great and small creatures thou canst therefore succour euery one of them in due time Thou shuttest vp our teares in the bottles our bloud in thy saucers thou knowest therefore when the phlebotomie is sufficient thou knowest when the repentance is come to its full period and issue Yea O Lord thy Apostle saith that to haue compassion on men thou becamest man to saue vs in time thou hast subiected thy selfe O eternall God vnto time It is therefore O Lord this flesh that flattereth it selfe that nameth her cries of griefe cries of repentance her conuulsions conuersions the tossings and vnquiet stirrings the anguish and impatient turnings of the body a turning of the body and soule to thee Certes O Lord my flesh abuseth it selfe it is in vaine it is in vaine that it thinketh it can turne to thee without thee 4. Returne O Lord deliuer my soule O saue mee for thy mercies sake Behold me O Lord and I will behold thee Turne vnto me O God and I will turne to thee for certainly if thou doest not conuert me I cannot bee conuerted and then wilt thou conuert mee when thou turnest thine eie the eie of thy mercies towards me a miserable sinner My God it is said that thou seest what is done that thou maist iudge the world I demand not that seeing it is the sight of thy prouidence which seeth alike all things and all men when thou punishest man-kinde it is said that thou dost behold them thou commest down to see what it hath done I demand not O God this viewing it is the aspect of thy iustice On the contrary enter not into iudgement with thy seruant for hee knoweth that no man liuing shall be iustified before this sight And notwithstanding O my God I haue need that thou behold me and if thou beholdest me not I finde my selfe lost both in body and soule I finde my selfe ouerwhelmed with griefe and sinne with griefe by reason of sinne O Lord let it be that looke wherewith thou beholdest thine owne thine owne for whom how few soeuer they be thou preseruest this world whereby also thou absoluest and iustifiest thy children thy children whom thou hast withdrawne from the condition and condemnation of this peruerse generation And this is that aspect of thy mercie thy good eye of thy good grace when thou doest behold vs in the iustice of thy Welbeloued who is made vnto vs righteousnesse and iustice iustice which makes thy mercie iust who will not nor cannot shew mercie but in iustice O Lord with that eye of thy mercie thou wilt deliuer my soule and wilt saue me for then my soule shall dislike it selfe and shall returne wholly towards thee to finde there its good But againe certes not for any thing that this aspect of thy mercie findes in me worthy thereof but because of thy mercie because of thine owne selfe for what is thy mercie but thine owne selfe O Lord saue me by thy mercie that is to say I know that with what good eye soeuer thou mayest behold mee thou canst see nought in me that may inuite thee to pittie nothing on the contrarie that causeth thee not to withdraw thine eye from me or to inflame thee with anger and furie against me I know it O Lord and I feele it I feele it and grant mee by thy Spirit that I may bee more and more sensible thereof But O Lord our goodnesse did not moue thee to make vs it was thine neither since to make vs anew by thy Christ it was thy goodnesse it selfe Saue vs therefore in thy Christ euen by that bountie and that by vs and in vs this goodnesse may be acknowledged and thou glorified who hast begotten vs and renewed vs created and regenerated vs for thy glorie to render thy goodnesse glorious and famous on earth Saue vs for that selfe same glorie 5. For in death there is no remembrance of thee in the graue who shall giue thee thankes O Lord the sinnes wee confesse it which are in the soule are causes of the euils which we endure here on earth And therefore said I Deliuer my soule deliuer my soule that is to say Forgiue me my sinne for it is the slauerie of sinne that bindes it For if the Son makes vs not free if he bindes not the strong enemie who hath vs in hold how shall wee euer see our selues set free and when he shall haue made me free I am assured that euen this bodie of mine shall finde some ease For what meant he when as he healing one sicke of the palsie said to him Sonne thy sinnes bee forgiuen thee but this namely that for the obtaining of this remission I must approach neere vnto thee with the conuersion of life and this conuersion cannot I bring vnlesse thou giuest it mee neither draw neere vnto thee if thou doest not draw me Therefore haue I said with the Prophet Turne thou to me and deliuer my soule and saue me that is to say Turne thou to mee and I will turne to thee and when I shall returne to thee thou shalt forgiue me my sinnes and shalt deliuer mee from all my euils So Lord finding my selfe wholly lost in my selfe I seeke for all in thee I aske of thee the knowledge of my sinne contrition conuersion remission
