and therefore eate in sorrow and say with the Prophet My teares were to me bread both day and night 2. Thanke him that for you who were ingratefull for the benefit of dinner he hath prepared a supper 3. Craue of him that by that charity wherwith he gaue himselfe in his last supper he may prepare and dispose vs that we may humbly receaue him and be euer vnited vnto him with the band of charity 1. When you pray at your going to bed be confounded for that when as Christ did vpon his Crosse powre out prayer with so great both loue and sorrow for you yet you loue him but a little and sorrow for him lesse 2. Thanke him for this that he dyeth and that you liue 3. And craue of him that by that heauines which himself felt dying and his mother also had seeing him to dye he will please to grant vs this that both at our owne death we may remember his that for his death our death may be accepted of his eternall father 1. When at your going to bed you put off your cloaths be confounded for that you desire to rest in bed and without your cloathes also when as Christ did for you both sleep in his cloaths and had not where to repose and lay downe his head 2. Giue him thanks for that by those thinges which he suffered for you he despoiled you off your concupiscence 3. Finally craue of him that by the payne which he felt when being to be crucifyed he was stripped off his cloathes he may strip vs of our euill habits of mind and conditions that naked of earthly thinges we may imbrace the Crosse and dying vpon it may deserue that nuptial garment which the eternal Father hath prepared for all those that loue him THE II. EXERCISE AND because it would be long to accommodate the forme and manner of this exercise to all our works that which hath beene sayd may serue to shew vnto vs how other things may be addressed according to the same rule And if any shall please further to exercise himself in other things he may vse this forme and manner following 1. When he standeth let him remember Christ standing before Pilate the Iudge 2. When he sitteth let him consider Christ sitting when the wicked mocking him sayd Haile King of Iewes 3. When he walketh let him thinke vpon Christ passing through Samaria and going vp to the Mount of Caluary 4. When he is weary let him contemplate Christ wearied of his iourney and sitting vpon the Well 5. When he rideth on horsback let him reflect vpon Christ sitting vpon an Asse and entring into the Citty of Hierusalem 6. When he visiteth the sicke let him remēber Christ visiting and healing the sicke 7. When his good workes are found fault with let him cal to his remembrance the Iewes accusation and their murmuring against Christ for healing on the Sabbaoth day 8. When any one giueth him a sharpe and churlish answere let him thinke on that answere made vnto Christ when it was sayd Doest thou answere the High Priest so And that blow which the wicked minister gaue Christ vpon his most sacred face 9. When he is angry let him cal to remembrance that hunger which our Sauiour endured in the desert 10. When he is a cold let him remember Christ trembling for cold in the manger 11 When he is a thirst of Christ thirsting vpon the crosse 12. When he is awaked frō sleep of Christ awaked by his Apostles when he was a sleep in the ship 13. When he is in diuers accidents abandoned o● friendes o● Christ forsaken of his discipls leauing him and running from him 14. When he departeth frō friendes of our Sauiours going from his Mother to his Passion 15. When his good workes are detracted of the detraction of the Iewes when they sayd of our Sauiour In the prince of the Diuells he casteth out Diuells 16. When he suffereth contumely or reproachfull wordes openly of our Sauiour brought forth before the people by Pilate when he sayd Behold the man 17. When he is falsly accused of Christ falsly accused in Caiphas his house 18. When he suffereth iniury of Christ most vniustly condemned 19. When sorrow paine or sicknes troubleth a man let him remember Christ scourged at the Pillar crowned with thornes and nayled vpon the Crosse where there was not any whol or sound part in him from the sole of the foot to the crown of his head 20. Finally when he is at the point of death let him think vpon Christ dying and recommēding his spirit into the hands of his Father And thus may a man in al thinges offer himselfe to Christ whome he remembreth either to haue done or to haue suffered the like And so of these and the like effects he who shall out of charity diligently exercise himselfe in this manner may profit himselfe much And because we haue hitherto for the most part layd downe and proposed examples only of external things without we haue thought good to add some few also of things internall or within and that especially for spirituall persons who are not molested with the troubles and trauailes of body so much as with those of spirit 1. Wherfore when he seeth that the counsaile which out of his charity he giueth his neighbour is not accepted of let him remember that Christ gaue coūsaile to many and yet they contemned it 2. When he seeth God euery where offended and he is grieued and angry thereat let him remember that Christ was once much mooued at those who bought and sold within the Temple and thereupon draue them out with a whip 3. When he seeth some spirituall friend of his to giue ouer the way of vertue let him consider what our Sauiour thought and felt in himselfe when he saw Iudas to abandone and forsake the way of truth 4. When he considereth how few Pastours there be in Gods house who exercise their functiō charge as they ought let him call to memory what Christ thought when he sayd The haruest is indeed great but the workemen few and for that cause how sorely he wept 5. When he is sorry and grieued for his owne defects let him consider that our Lord saw them before they were and was sorry for them 6. When he seeth any fallen from the state of perfection let him call to remembrance how sorry our Sauiour was for S. Peters fall who had before confessed him to be the Sonne of God and had seene his Transfiguration vpon the Mount 7. When he is troubled and pressed with tentations let him call to mind the tentations that our Sauiour endured in the desert 8. When he seeth the society and company of the good displeasing to the bad let him consider how Christ was afflicted in mind when the Gerasens to whome moued out of his charity and goodnes he came desired him to depart from them 9. When he is sorry at his neighbours sinnes let him remember how
