A Gentleman being requested by a Gentlewoman, to pen her a Prayer in verse, wrot at her request, as followeth
P ITIE , oh Lord thy Servaunts heavy heart,
Her sinnes forgiue, that thus for mercy cryes:
Judge no man (LordE ) according to desart
Let fall on her with speede thy healthfull eyes:
In hart who prayes to thee continually
Putting her only trust of G OD in Thee.
LordE , LordE , to thee for mercy still I call,
Oh set me free that thus am bound and thrall.
