Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.
O LORD God, I have now, by Thy assistance, considered my own evil ways: O Thou who only knowest the heart, and who only can change it, create in me such a broken and contrite heart as Thou hast promised not to despise, and so deep a sense of my own sin and misery, that my repentance may bear some proportion to my guilt. O my God, pardon all my failings and perfect that good work Thou hast begun in me, for the merits of Jesus my Saviour. Amen.
