Audiobook: Lamentation of a Sinner

Preface and To the Reader
Of an humble confession of sins to the glory of God
A Lamentation of a Sinner, with a hearty repentance in Faith, to obtain absolution and remission, through the merits of Christ.
What true Faith worketh in the soul of a Sinner
Of the great Love of God towards mankind, and of the inward beholding of Christ crucified
Of the glorious Victories of Christ over all Enemies
That we ought to submit ourselves to the school of the cross, and still look and learn in the book of the cross
A Christian bewailing the miserable ignorance and blindness of men
Of the fruits and rules of true Christianity for men to follow
Of the fruits of infidelity, and offence of weaklings
Of carnal gospellers, by whose evil living, God's truth is shamefully slandered
Of the virtuous properties of God's children, of whom every one attendeth his vocation
The conclusion, with a Christian exhortation to the amendment of Life

The Lamentation of a Sinner was written in 1544, the year where Parr took on the role of Regent for a number of months when Henry VIII was fighting wars in France. She writes a general (rather than personal) confession of sin and exhortation to holiness. Parr was the first woman to publish a book in English under her own name. (Summary by InTheDesert)
