pointes which must needs be thought of before thou enter into this kind of exercise Whereof take this for the first that thou force thy selfe being one that hast leasure enough to haue an houre in the morning and another in the euening which thou art to allot and destinate to this so profitable an exercise Who so could not for all that haue so much time as he woulde ought not to giue ouer and neglect this exercise yea he rather were to take such houres and time for it as his businesse mighte best aforde him Now when thou commest to these determinate houres being so thou maiest haue them in maner aforesayd it behoueth thee to prepare thy selfe as the wise man saith before praier to the end thou maist haue more attention deuotion and reuerence with other partes requisite for the better performing of this exercise Thy prepartion therefore let it be in this manner when thou commest to the time and place perfixed indeuour thy selfe to lay aside all other cares and cogitations which in any wise may im peach thee weighing well the weight and seriousnesse of this affaire thou art in hande withall And to the ende thou maiest haue the more attention and reuerence consider howe when thou art in praier thou speakest not to the wind nor to the walles but standest most assuredly before the face of the liuing God and that God is there present at thy praiers listning thy wordes vewing thy teares and taking delight in thy deuotion and holy exercise For albeit he vniuersally assist all his creatures yet assisteth hee chiefely such as praie to him according as the sacred scripture witnesseth saying There is no Deut. 4 other Nation in the worlde so great to whome their god is so nigh to as is our Lorde God who assisteth vs in all our praiers Thinke nowe how great attention and reuerence is requisite to speak and stand before the presence of so diuine a maiestie before that most Soueraigne and omnipotent King before that infinit beautie and incomprehensible greatnesse if so great respect bee had in speaking but to a temporall Lorde or King This consideration shall make thee humble thy selfe and bowe downe to the verie dust of the earth and stand with feare and trembling before that sacred soueraigntie and dreadfull maiestie With this thought maiest thou kneele downe in reuerent wise saying the Lordes prayer crauing of GOD briefly forgiuenesse of thy sinnes but those especially wherein thou hast offended that day as also grace to performe this affaire better then heretofore and to spend that smal time to his glorie the profit of thine own soule sithence wee are not able without his grace to doe anie good thing With this affect and minde maiest thou saie the wordes of the Patriarke Abraham Loquar ad Dominum meū cum sim puluis cinis I wil speak to my Lord though I be but dust ashes or other especiall praiers or sentences wherein thou happily hast moste deuotion which shall all of them serue for a preparatiue to make thee haue better attention and to shut out exclude al forraigne cogitatiōs Hauing now in this or like manner got attention deuotion and reuerence fall then in hand with meditation the best wayes thou canst the which ought in mine opinion to be most necessarily of the passion of Christ as being a thing verie acceptable to him and of great deuotion and profit for our souls sith this our sauiour his passion is no other thing then an epilogue and recapitulation of his whole life and doctrine and an abreuiate and short word wherein it pleased him to teach vs the summe of all wisedome and the perfection of the Gospell wherefore for thy better and more orderlie proceeding in this thou maeist deuide the points of the passion by the dayes of the weeke in manner following Meditations of the blessed passion of our Sauiour for euerie day in the weeke especially on mornings Cap. 7. THE meditations which I thinke moste profitable for thee to exercise thy self most in especiallie on mornings are to bee of the passion of Christe which thou maiest dispose in this order Munday ON munday morning at thine hom of exercise thou maist first thinke on the last supper of our Lord Sauiour wherein amongst other things thou art to meditate conformably the storie of the Gospell call chiefely to minde these three points to wit that most profound humilitie wherewith Iohn 1● Mat. 26. Mar. 14. Luke 23. he washed his disciples feete the institution of the most holy sacrament the most sugred speeches hee lastlie preached vnto them About the first consider that humilitie inough to astonish a man wherewith that moste high and puissaunt Prince into whose handes his eternall father had giuen the rule of all things bowed himselfe to wash and clense his Disciples feete and amongst the rest those filthie feete of Iudas the traitor Iohn 13. neither yet did his puissaunce nor his wisdome nor his holinesse nor his greatnesse each being incomprehensible let him to do this so base a work that we shoulde follow the example that hee lefte vs therein not onely to humble our selues to our betters but but to our equals and inferiors Touching the second point consider that most feruent loue our sweete redeemer bare vs to the end whereby he being now to depart from vs instituted 1. Cor. 2 this holy Sacrament to remaine in his church for a perpetuall memory of his passion for so saith saint Paule As often as you shall eate this bread and drinke of this cuppe you shew the Lords death till he come And like as he could not leaue vs anie gift more precious then this so ought we not to seeke or desire any other then this disposing our selues eftsoones to receaue this holie sacrament that beeing eftsoones vnited to him we bee made partakers of the inestimable fruits which are by meanes there of imparted to vs. Concerning the third amongst the other words of that long and most loftie Sermon he made to his disciples take for thee that his newe precept of charity so highly commended of him wherin he said that his disciples should Io. 13. 14. 15. 16. be discerned and withall note the patience thou must haue in thy manifold tribulations and persecutions which thou must needs suffer in this world wherewith the Soule is cleansed and obtaineth great and vnspeakable grace Tuesdaie THou maist on Tuesdaie meditate Mat. 26.

Mat. 24. Luk. 22. Apoc. 16. it as if thou hadest neuer failed perseuering till the ende as is needefull if thou mind to attaine the crowne and to winne euerlasting happinesse For in doing thus I dare on the behalfe of our Lord Iesus christ assure thee that this perseuerance shall ease thy paine that pincheth at first and looke howe much the more thou doost perseuere and so much more comfort help consolation and heauenly light shalt thou receaue of his most bountifull liberallity See therefore thou content not thy selfe with once reading ouer of this treatise but read it eftsoones ouer for so it is most expedient Forsomuch as the thinges that are here in treated of sith they be the rulers and remembrances which thou oughtest in spirituall life to leuell and guide thy works by it behooueth at all times to reade them when thou purposest to practise them For besides that the bare reading shal be a laudable and good exercise for thee and serue as a parte of prayer the reiterating and frequentation of reading shal helpe thee to learne by heart what in action thou art bound to execute and so maist thou afterwards exercise thee in each point with much more facillity and lesse a doe a great deale And therefore albeit this little labour may profit each one that with a good and godly intent wil vouchsafe to reade it yet was it principally intended for the simple and more ignorant sort and for that cause haue I thought good to annex here in the end such things as many of them wotte not and yet are bound to knowe Seeing that euery artisan thinks it meete to knowe such things as belonge vnto his art howe much more is a true Christian bound for to know what appertaineth to his profession an art boue all arts and to be prepared as the apostle Saint Peter saith to yeald accompt of that he beleeueth and hopeth and what it behooueth him to doo to liue according to Gods wil and pleasure and to obtaine euerlasting life withall Wherfore for such as bee in this behalfe blame worthy negligent I haue here set downe such thinges as without daunger of their owne weldooing they neither ought nor can be ignorant of that by reason of those notes and shorte remembrances they may both vnderstand what they want and learn it here commodiously And as for the texts I haue here set thē forth both in Latin and vulgar tongue for euery one to learne them as beste shall like them not respecting so much the wordes as the substance and sap conteined in the same Finis Faults escaped Fol. 12. lin 23. for temptarions read temptations fol. 13. lin 21. for some read read some fol. 34 line 10 for patt part fol. 59. line 20. for sercuitie security fol. 59. line 24. for heart heat fol. 96 li. 1 for doe thou thou doe A briefe meditation on the Lordes praier O our Father High in Creation Sweet in loue Rich in possession Which art in Heauen The spectacle of Eternity The crowne of Maiestie The treasure of Felicitie Halowed be thy name That it may be honie in our mouthes Melodie in our eares Religion in our hearts Let thy kingdome come Sweet without mixture Quiet without trouble Secure without losse Thy will be doon in earth as it is in Heauen That we may hate what thou hatest Loue what thou louest Fulfill al that thou likest A Meditation on the Lords praier Giue vs this day our daily bread Of doctrine Of charity Of life euerlasting Forgiue vs our trespasses Doone against thee Against our neighbors Against our selues As we forgiue thē that trespas against vs In their wordes In their persons In their deedes Lead vs not into temptation Of the world Of the flesh Of the Deuil But deliuer vs from euil That is past That is present That is to come LEt dread of paine for sinne in after time Let shame to see thy selfe insnared so Let griefe conceiued for foule accursed crime Let hate of sinne the worker of thy woe With dread with shame with greefe with hate enforce To deaw thy cheekes with teares of deepe remorce So hate of sinne shall cause Gods loue to grow So greefe shall harbour hope within thy hart So dread shall cause the floud of ioy to flow So shame shall send sweet sollace to thy hart So loue so hope so ioy so sollace sweet Shall make thy soule in heauenly blisse to fleet Woe where such hate doth no such loue allure Woe where such greefe makes no good hope proceed Woe where such dread dooth no such ioy procure Woe where such shame doth no such solace breed Wo where no hate no greefe no dread no shame Doth neither loue hope ioy or sollace frame Finis Imprinted at London by Peter Short for William Leake
