Remember Paul what thou hast done,
all through a lewd desire:
How thou didst persecute Gods church,
with wrath as hot as fire.
Then up starts Peter at the last,
and to the gate he hies:
Fond fool quoth he knock not so fast,
thou weariest Christ with cries.
Peter said she content thyself,
for mercy may be won;
I never did deny my Christ,
as thou thyself hast done.
When as our Saviour Christ heard this,
with heavenly angels bright;
He comes unto this sinful soul;
who trembled at his sight.
Of him for mercy she did crave,
quoth he thou hast refuf'd,
My proffered grace, and mercy both,
