Isaiah 38:10-14 I thought I shulde haue gone to the gates of hell when myne age was shortened, and haue wanted the resydue of my yeares.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ I thought I shulde haue gone to the gates of hell when myne age was shortened, and haue wanted the resydue of my yeares. ¹¹ I spake within my selfe: I shall neuer viset the Lorde (the Lord I saye) in thys lyfe. I shal neuer se man among the dwellers of the worlde. ¹² Myne age is folden vp together, & taken awaye fro me, lyke a shepherdes cotage: I haue hewen of my lyfe by my synnes, lyke as a weeuer cutteth of hys webb. He wyll with pyninge sycknesse make an ende of me: yee, he wyll make en ende of me in one daye. ¹³ I thought I wolde haue lyued vnto the morowe, but he brosed my bones lyke a lyon, and in one daye thou wilt make an ende of me. ¹⁴ Then chatred I lyke a swalowe, and lyke a crane, and mourned as a doue. I lyfte vp myne eyes into the heygth: O Lorde (sayde I) my sycknes kepeth me downe: ease thou me.
