Henry’s doodles in his copy of Catherine Parr’s book

Some of the doodles are pointing into certain text

1: Take away thy plagues from me, for thy punishment hath made me both.

2: feeble and faint

3: For when thou chastisest a man for his sins, thou causest him by and by to consume and pine away

4: Turn away thine anger from me, that I may know that thou art more

5:merciful unto me than my sins deserve

6: What is my strength, that I may endure? Or what is the end of my trouble, that my soul may patiently abide it?

7: My strength is not a stony strength, and my flesh is not made of brass.

8:Give me a new heart, and a right spirit, and take from me all wicked and sinful desires.

9:O Lord, I am foolish, ignorant, and blind, when I am destitute of thy knowledge.

10: O Lord God, touch my mouth, that my iniquity may be driven away;
dwell thou in my heart, that my sins may be purged.
Wisdom doth not enter into a malicious soul, nor will abide in a body which
is subject to sin.

Whereto should I express” By King Henry VIII

Whereto should I express
My inward heaviness?
No mirth can make me fain
Till that we meet again.

Do 'way, dear heart, not so!
Let no thought you dismay ;
Though ye now part me fro,
We shall meet when we may.

When I remember me
Of your most gentil mind,
It may in no wise agree
That I should be unkind.

The daisy delectable,
The violet wan and blo—
Ye are not variable,
I love you and no mo.

I make you fast and sure ;
It is to me great pain
Thus longë to endure
Till that we meet again.
