Paraphrase of the Tract for Ash Wednesday (LU, pp. 527-528).
Translation:
Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins that we have committed,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
Lord, do not remember our former iniquities: let your mercies quickly overtake us. For we have become exceedingly poor.
Help us, O God our Savior: and for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us.
And be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake
