is withall 25 I haue forgot my bread to eate that thou to me didst giue Which is thy holie sacred word by which my soule doth liue 26 And I haue eaten of the fruit of the forbidden tree And tasted haue of sinne and death and brought thy wrath on mee 27 Wherefore my leaues wither awaie my fruit falles on the ground And as a barren tree am left vnperfect and vnsound 28 The feareful voice of sentence thine for mine offenses donne Doth cause me mourne lament grone my time yet for to ronne 29 And with the voice of mourning mine my bones haue cleaued hard vnto my flesh and sticke so fast that nothing I regard 30 Thus like vnto a pellican I draw my selfe alone And call to mind my greeuous crimes and doo the same bemone 31 The pellican as some report hir harmelesse birds doth kill And three daies after mourneth shee and is vnquiet still 32 Then with hir breake hir breast she plucks till bloud guish out amaine Which she lets drop vpon hir yoong till they reuiue againe 33 Thus Lord doo I with my sweet birds which are my works through grace By sinne committed I them kill and doo them all deface 34 But yet by praier for thy grace which springs of grace indeed The said dead works are quicke againe my sicklie soule to feed 35 And Adam was a pellican touching some propertie For through his ●inne he slue the birds came of his progenie 36 And dead he had remained still had not sweet Christ thy sonne Shed foorth his blood vs to reuiue by mercie great was donne 37 He kils and can raise vp to life he strikes and heales againe As in the persecution of Paule appeered plaine 38 Shame causeth me for to withdrawe my selfe to be alone As dooth the crowe that flies by night which would be seene of none 39 And if I could I would me hide from thee as Adam did Such time he tasted of the fruit that thou didst him forbid 40 The works of darknes loued I and therefore did I flee From the most bright and shining sunne of iustice due to mee 41 O Lord for this cause doo I sigh still sorrowe weepe and waile As one that ouerwatched is whose rest and sleepe dooth faile 42 And as the sparrowe doo I watch that drawes hir selfe alone Vnder the euings of the house hir fellowes want to mone 43 And to augment my greefe withall mine enimies all daie Doo raile on me and me reuile so spiteful as they may 44 Alas againe My feined freends that praised me before Against me now conspire themselues and vexe me verie sore 45 Such false and feined flatring friends much woorse and harmefull bee Than those that openlie professe and shew their en●mitie 46 But both those sorts are sent to me for plague vnto my sin And for the great iniquitie that I haue wallowed in The second part My bread with ashes doo I eate that is I right well knowe As I of earth and slime was made to earth againe shall go 2 Thus in such bitter thoughts as these I eate my bread withall And ming my drinke with weeping teares that from mine eies doo fall 3 Bicau●e thou angrie art with me for mine offenses past O Lord I know when time shall come of iudgement day at last 4 Thy wrath and Indignation shall then proceed from thee And fall vpon the heads of those that worke iniquitie 5 O Lord theu hast me lifted vp and throwne me to the ground In that thou mad'st me like thy selfe ere I was to be found 6 No higher couldst thou lift me vp than to beatitude But then alas thou let'st me fall whereby I this conclude 7 My noble soule thou ioined hast with massie earth and claie And bodie fraile the weight whereof driues downe my mind alwaie 8 and Lord in my creation thou hast set me so hie Aboue all other creatures that are vnder the skie 9 And almost equall am I made with blessed Angels thine But in this state when I transgresse damnation then is mine 10 So that without thy mercies helpe I am in farre woorse plight Than anie beast whose life or soule with bodie dies outright 11 My daies alas awaie d●o passe as shadowe new begunne And I am withered like the grasse changed by heate of sunne 12 Lord grant in shadow of this life I may haue grace to see The light and knowledge of thy word and waies prepard for mee 13 Which word giues light vnto the babe yet sucking at the brest For after that this life is past repentance none dooth rest 14 And since the time ô Lord is short of mine abiding heere Thy grace continue towards me my guiltinesse to cleere 15 For truelie thine abiding is for euer to endure And thy remembrance throughout all generations sure 16 But what is thy rememberance through generations all It is the diuine propertie that vnto thee dooth fall 17 For to be meeke and mercifull which thou hast euer donne From time to time and age to age since first the world begonne 18 And art more mindfull of our state and readier to forgiue Than is the mother of hir child late borne with hir to liue 19 Arise therefore and mercie shew good Lord vpon Sion Which is thy faithfull people all or congregation 20 For time it is on hir to looke and mercie thine extend She hath long time great paine sustaind whereof the craues an end 21 What is this time whereof we speake was euer anie time In which thou didst not mercie shew to louing seruants thine 22 No verelie For from the time the angels downe did fall Vntill the time the world shall end thy mercie euer shall 23 As it hath bin from time to time vpon all that repent But cheeflie was thy mercie shew'd when Christ was hither sent 24 To suffer death to win vs life thereby he enter might The glorie of thy Maiestie aboue the angels bright 25 This time was cald the time of grace and was appointed when The fulnesse of the time was come which was vnseene to men 26 And yet before this time to him was seene by Deitie Wherby ô Lord all things thou doost in order with mercie 27 This time of heauenlie grace we trust shall still continue heare To those in time that serueth thee with penance loue and feare 28 The stone of Sion pleased well thy seruants for thy truth and they vpon the ground thereof shall pitie haue and ruth 29 Apostles thine thy seruants were the stones good Christians bee And thou the sure foundation of this faire worke to see 30 Not vpon man nor angels bright did they this building laie But vpon thee the corner stone of all their worke the staie 31 And as the heathen Lord shall feare and tremble at thy name So Sion shall thy faithfull Church giue glorie to the same 32
