vttermost of my power and abilitie for all the iniuries that I haue done to the offence of thy Church or to the hinderance and hurt of any my Christian brethren or sisters by any the offences I haue committed Forgiue me Lord forgiue me my sinnes and for thy holy name saue my soule that thou hast redeemed with thy precious bloud I commit my selfe wholly to thy mercie I resigne mee into thy hands doe with me after thy goodnes and not after my wicked deseruings I offer also vnto thee al the good works which through thy grace haue beene wrought or done by me which because they are few and very imperfect through my frailtie and great wretchednes I beseech thee to amend them and sanctifie them and make them liking and acceptable vnto thee alway make them better better bring me though I be a slow vnprofitable seruaÌ„t to a blessed happy end I offer also vnto thee my prayer peaceable offering for all them that haue hindred me greeued me and wrought me sorrow and also for all them whom I haue at any time made heauy troubled grieued or iniured in thought word or deed wittingly or ignorantly that thou forgiue vs altogether our sinnes offences against thee and of each of vs against other and that thou Lord take from our hearts all enuie suspicion wrath variance pride indignation and contention and whatsoeuer may let charity or diminish fraternall loue that each of vs should haue to

thy children the true beleeuers in this blessed Sacrament that through the liuely power of this thy holy body receiued by vs in a true stedfast and vnfained faith by and through the operation of the holy Ghost wee and all thy whole Church may receiue remission of sin and obtaine euerlasting life And after this meditation let him vow and promise purpose also with himselfe through the grace of God and by the working of the holy Ghost euer after more diligently to serue God for seeing a man is busie to serue an earthly Lord with all his dilignece much more should wee be diligent to serue our Lord God and to lift vp our hearts vnto him and to consider the gâ—eatnes of God and the wretchednes of our selues how great and how worthy God is how little how vnworthie our selues are consider also the great loue of God that would take to himselfe that is so worthy the fraile weake estate of mankind not for any cause of his own but for the great loue hee bare vnto vs consider also his vnspeakable and rich mercy towards miserable and wretched sinners who not onely offered himselfe to death for vs on the crosse but also giueth himselfe to vs in the Sacrament to be our spirituall meate ann drinke and to bee fully with vs and in vs. Wherfore let euerie Christian man if hee haue time before the receiuing of the blessed Sacrament say thus in his heart Lord I know well that al workes and deserts of men be they neuer so holy are not worthy to receiue thee how muâ—h more am I vnworthy that each day sinne and as a man vncorrigible dwell still therein O Lord why do I such deâ—pite vnto thee for to cast thee my precious Lord into the foule pit of my conscience for surely there is no dung more stincking then my soule is O Lord what shall I doe shall I lay thee in that foule place surely Lord I durst not but in hope of thy mercies but I beleeue and am assured that thy mercies are endlesly more then all my sinne and therefore in full trust of thy goodnes I offer my

more desire I haue to be healed and the more need I haue of thee for why in healing of my deadly sicknes shall well bee shewed and commended the greatnesse of thy goodnesse that wilt helpe and heale so wretched a creature and bring mee to the possession of euerlasting life through the merits of thy precious death and passion And thus must wee that are sicke in sinne receiue this healthfull medicine of the holy Sacrament the body and bloud of Christ and when we feele through it any comfort to our soules let vs ascribe that comfort not to our selues but to the goodnes of God which so comforteth and refresheth our soules by feeding vs with his own flesh and bloud of his own great mercy grace let vs thus thinke with our selues loe thus doth our Lord vnto vs to shew vs our wretchednes and miseries wherein we lie intaÌ„gled vnles we be loosed by him and to ouercome our wickednes with the plentie of his goodnes for he maketh vs that are dead in sinne to feele life and being rotten and stincking wormes to tast heauenly sweetnes O Lord God sith thou art so mercifull to vs that now liue in sinne as to feed vs with the heauenly bread of thy owne flesh and bloud in this holy sacrament by which foode through the working of the holy Ghost wee are nourished and cherished in body and soule vnto life euerlasting let our hearts from henceforth in this most cherefully reioyce that our God our spouse and our loue is made vnto vs our spirituall meate and drinke to strengthen our bodies and soules that wee may grow vp to life euerlasting the bilsse of Saints the ioy of Angels the sonne of the highest father maketh himselfe our spirituall nourishing the light of the world the sonne of righteousnes the wisedome of God is made the foode of our soule the redeemer of man the brightnes of heauen the matter of all mirth and the Lord of ioy vouchsafeth for to feed vs with himselfe what kindnes what courtesie what tokeÌ„ of loue might bee more Wherefore since wee haue him let vs not from henceforth suffer our hearts to delight in any creature for it were a great vnkindnes and vile wretchednes of vs after the receiuing of so worthy a meate so precious and sweete as

Ro. 12. Whilst we haue time let vs do good vnto all men especially vnto those which are of the houshould of faith Therefore if thine enemy hunger seed him if he thirst giue him drinke for in so doing thou shalt heape coles of fire vpon his head Be not ouercome of euill but ouercome euill with good For a true Christian man must bee glad and reioyce for all mens commodities as for his owne and so to take to heart and be sorrie for an other mans harmes as if they had fallen vpon himselfe and to weepe with them that weepe and to ioy in all maner good things with them that reioyce as the same Apostle also teacheth He must not thinke with himselfe after the fashion of the worldlings and wicked men what haue I to doe with this fellow he is a man vnknowne to mee hee is a stranger hee neuer did ought for mee hee hath hurt mee some times but hee neuer did me good hee must I say thinke none of these things but remember onely what Christ hath done for thee who willeth his kindnes shewed towards thee should be requited not in himselfe which thou canst not nor shalt not bee able to doe but to shew such kindnes for his sake towards all men as hee requireth of thee distributing of such bodily or ghostly goods as he hath giuen thee to the releefe of others necessities euen to the vttermost of thine abilitie For so doth the holy scripture teach euery christian man in many places of the same as Luke 3. v. 11. Let him that hath two coates parte with him that hath none and he that hath meate let him doe likewise by which two examples of food and rayment the faithfull are warned by a common care and indeuour and by a particular speciall care in euery one to prouide that the necessities and wants of the poore be holpen and supplied according as God shall haue delt to them a portion of abilitie to doe it for so is it commaunded in other placâ— of the scripture as in the 1. of Tim. the 6. chap. Charge them which are rich in the world that they be readie to giue and glad to distribute lâ—ying vp in store for themselues a good foundation against the time to come that they may attaine eternall life and Math. 6. Lay not vp for your selues treasures the vpon earth where the rust and moth doth corrupt and where theeues breake through and steale but lay vp for your selues treasures in heauen where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt and where theeues doe not breake through and steale Math. 7. Whatsoeuer you would that men should doe to you euen to doe you vnto them for this is the law and the Prophets Luke 12. Sell that you haue and giue almes make you bagges which waxe not old a treasure that neuer can faile in heauen where no theefe commeth nor moth corrupteth and according as God had commanded in his law that a mercifull respect and diligent care should bee had of the poore so holy Toby in his 8. chapter giueth this instruction to his sonne Giue almes of thy goods and turne neuer thy face from the poore and then the face of the Lord shall neuer bee turned away from thee bee mercifull after thy power if thou hast much giue plentiouslie and if thou hast little doâ— thy diligence gladly to giue of that little for so gatherest thou thy selfe a good reward against the day of necessitie and in the second to the Corinth the 9. chap. it is thus written He that soweth sparingly shall reape also sparingly and he that soweth liberally shal reape also liberally as euerie man wisheth in his hart so let him giue not grudgingly or of necessitie for God loueth a cheerefull giuer and in 13. to the Hebrewes the 16. verse it is said to doe good and to distribute forget not for with such sacrifices God is pleased Pro. 20. he that hath mercie vpon the poore lendeth vnto the Lord and the Lord will recompence him that which he hath giuen By all which places and many other in holie scripture it appeareth what loue tender care and compassion by the ordinance and commandement of God is appointed to bee had and shewed vppon such as are in miserie and want By which kinde of Communion and bond of charitie all mankinde without exception
