Most Mercifull and Gratious Lord
Who dost Afford
A Time wherin
If Man repents him throughly of his Sin
He may a Pardon find
Graunt me such Grace
As to Efface
Those Blots and Staines
My youthfull vaynes
Contracted had
Which were so bad
And rectify my crooked mind.

Cause me t'look back
To what of it I then did lack
And for the future Grant
I do not want
That forecast may implore
I sin no more
But in the Evning of my Setting Dayes
Throughly Repent, Amend, and guive Thee Praise.
