Mornīg prayer O Geue thankes vnto the lord for he is gracious and his mercy endureth for euer Let them geue thankes whom the Lorde hath redemed and deliuered from the hande of the enemye And gathered them out of the landes from the East and from the west from the North and from the South They went astraye in the wildernes out of the way and founde no citie to dwel in Hungry and thirstie their soule faynted in them So they cryed vnto the lord in their trouble and he delyuered them from their distresse He led them furth by the ryght way that they might goe to the citie where they dwelt O that men would therfore praise the lorde for his goodnes and declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men For he satisfied the emptie soule and filleth the hungrye soule with gladnes Such as sit in darkenes and in the shadow of death being fast bounde in miserye and yron Because they rebelled against the wordes of the lord and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most high He also brought down their heart thorow heauines they fell down and there was none to helpe them vp So when they cryed vnto the lord in their trouble he deliuered them out of their distresse For he brought them out of darkenes and out of the shadowe of death and brake their bondes in sundre O that men would therfore prayse the lord for his goodnes and declare the wonders that he doth for the childrē of men For he hath broken the gates of brasse and smytten the barres of yron in sundre Foolysh men are plaged for their offence and because of their wickednes Their soule abhorred al maner of meate and they were euen hard at deathes dore So when they cried vnto the lord in their trouble he deliuered them out of their distresse He sent hys worde and healed them and they were saued from their destruccion O that mē would therfore praise the lord for his goodnes and declare the wonders that he dooeth for the chyldren of men That they would offer vnto hym the sacrifice of thankes geuing and tell out hys workes with gladnes They that goe down to the sea shippes and occupy their busynes in great waters These men see the workes of the lord and his wonders in the depe For at hys worde the stormy winde aryseth which lifteth vp the waues therof They are caryed vp to heauen and downe agayne to the depe theyr soule melteth away because of the trouble They rele to and fro and stacker like a dronken man and are at their wyttes ende So when they crye vnto lord in their trouble he deliuereth them out of their distresse For he maketh the storme to ceasse so that the waues therof are styll Then are they glad because they be at rest and so he bringeth them vnto the hauen where they would be O that men would therefore prayse the lorde for his goodnes and declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men They that would exalte hym also in the congregacyon of the people and prayse hym in the seate of the elders Which turneth the fluddes into a wildernes and drieth vp the water sprynges A fruitefull land maketh he barren for the wickednes of them that dwell therein Againe he maketh the wyldernes a standing water and water sprynges of a drye grounde And there he setteth the hungry that they may build them a citie to dwell in That they may sowe their lande and plante vineyardes to yelde them fruites of encrease He blesseth them so that they multiply excedingly and suffereth not their cattell to decrease And agayne when they are minished and broughte lowe through oppression through plage or trouble Though he suffre them to be euil intreated through Tirantes let thē wander out of the waye in the wildernes Yet helpeth he the poore out of miserye and maketh hym housholdes like a flocke of shepe The righteous will consider thys and reioyce and the mouth of al wickednes shal be stopped Whoso is wise will ponder these thynges and they shall vnderstand the louing kindnes of the Lord.

be chastiseth Yea as Sainct Paul sayth he scourgeth euery sōne whiche he receiueth if you indure chastisement he offereth hymself vnto you as vnto his own children What sonne is he that the father chastiseth not Yf ye be not vnder correccion wherof al true children are partakers then are ye bastardes not childrē Therfore seing that when our carnall fathers doe correct vs we reuerently obey thē shal we not nowe muche rather be obedient to our spirituall father and so lyue And they for a fewe dayes doe chastice vs after their own pleasure but he dooeth chastice vs for our profite to the

waye to eternall ioye is to suffre here with Christe our doore to entre into eternall life is gladly to dye with Christe that we maye rise agayne from death dwell with him in euerlasting lyfe Now therfore taking your sickenes which is thus profitable for you paciently I exhort you in the name of God to remembre the profession which you made vnto God in youre Baptisme And forasmuche as after this life there is accoumpt to be geuen vnto the righteous iudge of whō all must be iudged withoute respecte of persones I require you to examine your self your state both towarde God and man so that accusing and condemning your self for your owne faultes you may find mercy at our heauēly fathers hand for Christes sake and not be accused and condemned in that fearefull iudgement Therfore I shall shortly rehearse the articles of our fayth that ye may knowe whether you doe belieue as a christian man should or no. ¶ Here the Minister shall rehearse the Articles of the fayth saying thus ¶ Doest thou belieue in God the father almightie And so furth as it is in Baptisme ¶ Then shal the Minister examine whether he be in charitie with al the worlde Exhorting him to forgeue from the bottome of his heart all persones that haue offended him and if he haue offended other to aske them forgeuenesse And where he hath doone iniurie or wrong to any man that he make amēdes to the vttermost of his power And if he haue not afore disposed his goodes let hym than make his will But men must be oft admonyshed that they set an ordre for their tēporal goodes and landes whā they be in health And also declare his debtes what he oweth and what is owyng vnto hym for dischargeing of his conscience and quietnes of his executours These woordes before rehearsed may be sayde before the Minister beginne his prayer as he shall see cause The Minister may not forgeat nor omitte to moue the sicke person and that most earnestly to liberalitie toward the poore Here shal the sicke person make a speciall confession if he fele his conscience troubled with any weighty matter After whiche confession the Priest shall absolue him after this sort OVr Lord Iesus Christe who hath left power to his churche to
