DAVID

Remember yet lord, thy worthy servant Moses, Walking in thy sight, without rebuke of the. Both Aaron, Ietro, Eleazar, and Phinees. Evermore feared, to offend thy mageste. Much thu acceptedest, thy servant Joshua, Caleb and Othoniel, sought the with all their heart, Aioth end Sangar, for thy folk dead their partly. Gideon and Thola, thy enemies put to smart, Iayr and Iephte, gave praises to thy name. These to leave idols, thy people dead coart, Samson the strongest, for his partly dead the same. Samuel and Nathan, thy messages dead proclaim, What though fierce Pharao, wrough myschef in thy sight? He was a pagan, say not that in our sight. I wot the Beniamytes, abused the ways of right, So dead Helyes sons, and the sons of Samuel. Saul in his office, was slothful day and night, Wicked was Semei, so was Achirophel. Measure not by them, the faults of Israel, Whom thu hast loved, of long time so inteyrlye, But of thy great grace, remit her wicked folly, For it they have had, thy righteous ponnyshment. And for as Much as they, dead wickedly consent, To the Palestynes, and Chananytes ungodly, Idolaters taking, to them in matrimony, Thu threwest them under, the King of Mesopotamye. After thu subduedest them, for their Idolatry. Eyghtene years to Eglon, the King of Moabytes, And xx. years to Jabin, the King of Chananytes. Oppressed they were, vij. years of the Madyanytes, And xviii. years vexed, of the cruel Ammonytes. In iii. great battles, of iij. score thousand and five, Of this thy people, not one was left alive. Have mercy now lord, and call them to repentance. Spare not blessed lord, but say thy pleasure to me. Mercy lord mercy, for doubtless I am defyelde: I have sinned lord, I besyche the, pardon me. I am sorry lord, from the bottom of my heart. For what matter lord? I besyche thy goodness tell. I can not say nay, but I have done vndyscretelye, To forget thy grace, for a human pollycye. Lord at thy pleasure, for thu art full of mercy, O lord, it is I, which have offended thy grace, Spare them and not me, for I have done the trespass. Immortal glory, to the, most heavenly King, For that thu hast given, continual victory, To me thy servant, ever since my anointing, And also before, by many conquests worthy, A bear and lion, I slew through thy strength only, I slew Goliath, which was vj. cubits long. Against thy enemies, thu madest me ever strong. My fleshly fraylenesse, made me do deadly wrong, And clean to forget, thy laws of righteousness. And thouh thu vysytedest, my synnefulnesse among, With pestilent plagues, and other unquietness. Yet never tookest thu, from me the plenteousness, Of thy godly sprete, which thu in me dedyst plant, I having remorse, thy grace could never want. For in conclusion, thy everlasting covenant. Thu gavest unto me, for all my wicked sin. And hast promised here, by protestation constant, That one of my seed, shall soch high fortune win, As never dead man, since this world dead Begin. By his power he shall, put Satan from his hold, In rejoice whereof, to sing will I be bold.
