XXVIII.

Sonne of God heare us, and since thou

By taking our blood, owest it us againe, 245

Gaine to thy self, or us allow;

And let not both us and thy selfe be slaine;

O Lambe of God, which took'st our sinne

Which could not stick to thee,

O let it not returne to us againe, 250

But Patient and Physition being free,

As sinne is nothing, let it no where be.
