the humble hearts, the consciences opprest and loden with
the grievous burthen of their sinnes, and therefore thyrst after thy
grace, they shal set forthe thy glorie and praise.

through their wickednes, whereupon thou didest, as right required,
punish them ; but so sone as they acknowledged their
offences, and returned to thee, thou didst receave them
