  Speaker 1: despise Psalms fifty one, verse seventeen. Rend your heart and

  Speaker 1: not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God,
• 1:19

  Speaker 1: of great kindness, and repent at him of the evil
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Joel two, verse thirteen. To the Lord our God belong

• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to walk in his laws which he set before us.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Daniel nine, verses nine and ten. O Lord, correct me,

  Speaker 1: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and the truth is not in us. But if we
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: one Saint John one verses eight nine. Beloved brethren, the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: our manifold sins and wickedness, and that we should not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: our heavenly Father, but confess them with unhumble, lowly, penitent
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and obedient heart, to the end that we may obtain
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: forgiveness of the same by His infinite goodness and mercy.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: our sins before God, yet ought we most chiefly so
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to do when we assemble and meet together, to render
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: thanks for the great benefits that we have received at
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: His hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: hear His most holy word, and to ask those things
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that are requisite and necessary, as well for the body
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: as for the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: as many as I here present, to accompany me with
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a pure heart and humble voice unto the throne of
• 4:10

  Speaker 1: All Mighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and

• 4:28
  Speaker 1: too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: We have offended against Thy holy laws. We have left
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: undone those things which we ought to have done, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we have done those things which we ought not to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: have done. And there is no health in us. But Thou,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: o Lord, have mercy upon us miserable offenders. Spare thou Thou,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: o God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: are penitent according to Thy promises. Declared an to mankind
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in Christ Jesu our Lord, and grant a most merciful

  Speaker 1: The absolution or remission of sins to be pronounced by
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the priest alone, standing the people still kneeling, Almighty God,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who desireth not
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the death of a sinner, but rather that he may
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: turn from his wickedness and live, and has given power
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and commandment to his ministers to declare and pronounce to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: his people, being penitent the absolution and remission of their sins.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He pardoneth and absolveth all them that truly repent and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: unfeignedly believe His Holy Gospel. Wherefore, let us beseech Him
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: those things may please Him, which we do at this present,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and that the rest of our life hereafter may be
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: pure and holy, so that at the last we may
