glorious virgin Marye our aduocate of S. Michael the archangell and of all the angells and saynts in paradise especially my angell gardien and of my patrone S. N. and other Saynts my aduocats and intercessors and of all yee my parents and friends that are here present whom I desire to be witnesses of what I shall speake I doe then first of all protest that I doe take in good part my death with all willingnes of mind and that I doe willingly suffer the griefes and afflictions of this disease for the loue glory of the diuine maiestye yea euen the paynes of purgatorye for such time as it shall please our lord for the remission of my sinnes the punishment due vnto them 2. I protest that I will dye as I haue liued in the true faith of the holy Catholique Apostolique and Romayne church and I doe beleeue and hold inuiolably whatsoeuer it doth beleeue and propose vnto me to be beleeued with all the articles of the Creed which I will now repeate Credo in Deum c and therewithall I doe reproue condemne and detest all the ancient and moderne heresyes principally that of the Caluinists and Protestants of our times 3. I doe protest that I doe entirely trust in the infinite bounty and mercy of my god and sauiour the which doth infinitely exceede all my sinnes how great or grieuous soeuer they be And therefore I doe hope to be saued not by my merits but by the merits of the pretious bloud of the passiō and death of Iesus Christ the onely true sauiour of my soule 4. I protest that I doe pardon with all my hart all those whoe haue at any time offended me wishing them all happynes prosperitye in our Lord beseeching their pardon for euery occasion or subiect that I may haue giuen them to offend me 5. I doe protest that frō the bottome of my hart and with all profound humility I doe ask pardon of all those whome I may at any time haue scandalised by my ill example or in any other sort whatsoeuer offended in word or deed eyther in body goods or fame offring my self with all readynes to giue them all manner of satisfaction as farre as I shall be able 6. I doe protest being humbly prostrated before the diume maiesty that from the bottome of my hart I doe ask pardon and for giuenes for all my sinnes and offences which I haue committed agaynst him agaynst my neighbour my self being chiefely greeued and troubled in my soule that I haue transgressed his will considering his infinite goodnes and merit and in regard of the exceeding and notorious fauors which it hath pleased him to bestowe vpon me much offended with myself that I haue not had that griefe sorowe and cōtrition which I ought and should desire to haue and that I haue not peraduenture confessed myself as I ought and am obliged to doe for which I am hartyly sorye and doe propose to my self for the time to come in better manner then I haue hitherto done to serue god faithfully for euer remitting my self to his diuine prouidence and perpetuall goodnes 7. I doe protest that I giue thankes with the vtmost power and forces of my hart to my lord my god for all the benefits already recieued and which I doe hope to recieue from his diuine maiestye which are infinite I doe alsoe thank all those whoe in any manner whatsoeuer haue eyther done or desired any benefit seruice or good office eyther for my soule or bodye and more expressely and particularly those whoe haue eyther giuen or offered me any occasion to merit 8. I protest that I doe offer to my lord and god all the satisfactions merits sorrowes with the bloud which hath bene shed by my sauiour Iesus Christ his sonne the merits of the blessed virgin Mary of all the Saynts seruants of god whoe shall liue heere till the end of the world for the remission and satisfactiō of all my sinnes and for a perpetuall thākesgiuing and fit acknowledgment of the infinite benefits graces recieued of his diuine maiestye 9. I protest that I doe most humbly beseech the sacred virgin Marye my angell gardiē my patron and the saynts to whom I haue speciall deuotion with all the angells and Saynts of paradise that they would ayd and assist me at my last poynt of life and obtayne for me by theire intercessions and merits euerlasting repose in their blessed company Marye mother of grace mother of mercie protect vs from our ennemye recieue vs at the houre of death All the saynts of heauen make intercession for me 10. I protest that if soe be that our Lord permit that I should be tempted by the deuill with any temptation whatsoeuer eyther agaynst faith hope or charity towards god or neighbour or agaynst ought that I haue nowe sayd that I will not harken answeare or cōsent thereto or beleeue his false perswasions and if soe be that by his craft and deceipts or by the violence of my maladie and payne I should happē to consent to any sinne I doe nowe beseech my good god that such consent of mine may be voyd of none effect and this I ask for the valewe and merit of the precious bloud of my Lord Sauiour Iesus Christ Finally I protest that I doe recommend at this present my poore soule to the sacred wounds of the feete hands and side of my sweete and mercyfull sauiour Iesus Christ the which I doe kisse and imbrace with all my hart in the which I will liue and dye Betwixt the armes of my redeemer I will liue and I desire to dye Into thy hands ô lord I cōmend my spirit Thou hast redeemed me my lord god of truth god of my hart and my portion for euer I beseech all those whoe are presēt at my houre of death when I shal not be able to speak any more that they would ayd succor me with their prayers offring vp to the eternall father my agonye sweate suffrings in the vnion of the agonye sweates and suffrings of the bloud paynes and passions of my well beloued Iesus Christ for the remission of my sinnes When thou shalt haue ended these protestations the which thou mayst recite many times if thou think good thou shalt say with great reuerence deuotiō and attention the two prayers the one to Iesus Christ Crucified the other to the B. Virgin by which is demanded grace to make a happy passage from this life to the next which prayers are placed aboue pag. 65 and pag. 78. OTHER DIRECTIONS VERY PIOVS AND PROFITABLE 1. After the foresayd protestations and prayers it is requisite that the assistants with an intelligible voyce should saye the letanyes of our ladye or those of the saynts and that the sick party should indeuor to answeare at least by hart if hee cannot by mouth to the end that hee may more surely obtayne the grace which is desired Then shall

he kisse the sacred wounds of the holy Crucifix sayeing each time Iesu the sonne of Dauid haue mercy vpon me 2. The sick person shall cause a Crucifix or some other deuout image of our Lord Iesus Christ or our blessed Lady to be hung vp in some place where he may easily behold hold and contemplate it many times as well by nyght as by day and pray sometimes to Iesus Christ sometimes to our blessed ladye and recommēding himself cordially vnto them to speake these words or such like O Iesus my sauuiour saue my soule O mercifull virgin Marye defend my soule O Iesus and Marye grant patience and strength to my soule O Iesus and Marie recieue my soule neere vnto yee He shall likewise recōmend himself to the blessed patriarchs S. Ioseph Saint Francis Saint Augustin and Saynt Barbara speciall protectors and intercessors for the holy Association of twelue and to other his particular friends and deuout persons and aboue all to his good Angell guardien 3. Theye whoe haue charge of the sick partyes shall be carefull that theire children or such like persons doe not come neere them or but very seldome by reason of the particular and naturall affection that they beare to them because the presence of such persons doth vsually trouble sicke people for the tēdernesse of affection which is stirred vp in them which is very hurtfull as well to the body as to the soule 4. All lasciuious paintings profane pictures are to be remoued from the chamber of the sick body or at least to be kept out of his sight because they might without doubt cause in him by the craft of the deuill euill thoughts and effects 5. Those whoe shall visit the sick must be carefull that they doe not entertayne them with vayne discourse or vnproffitable and worldly buisinesses but shall speake vnto thē such things as may spiritually recreate them and edify the assistants in our Lord. 6. The sick partye shall be diligent to discouer vnto his spirituall father all the temptations doubts scruples and sinnes orderly as they come to his memorye to the end that conseruing by this meane the peace and tranquillity of his conscience the deuill be not able to deceiue him in any thing ● Besides the sick or ●hose whoe attend about ●im must indeuor to gett ●eligious men to come ●ften vnto him particu●arly his confessor or spi●ituall father that he may ●e ayded by them com●orted solaced especi●lly towards the end of ●is life For it is certayne ●that the presence onely of ●ood religious men espeially if they be priests ●oth bring cause great ●are and terror to the infernall deuills which neuer forsake the sick person till he be dead 8. To conclude I will say● one thing very profitable for sick persons who desire to make a good and quiet end and which perchance is not much practised by worldly men which is not to put of the sayeing of masses for th● after theire death or t● giue almes for the goo● of theire soules but they ought to doe it whill they liue for as much as such like good workes are then without comparison farre more profitable to the soule then after theire death First for that they obtayne of god diuersity of proffit and spirituall helpes with or by which the soule is excited to doe supernaturall workes and which deserue eternall saluation as acts of forrowe and contrition for sinne of the loue of god hope and such like by which a habit of diuine grace doth increase in the soule and consequently the glory which is due thereto in paradise 2. Because the soule doth receiue of these spirituall helps great force and is meruailously strengthned and incouraged in time of death agaynst the assaults of his ennemy In a word these meanes are of great force and vale we to obtayne of god a true and harty repentance at the houre of death and a most perfect conuersiō to him wherein a happye end doth consist and in his grace and consequently our eternall saluation in the life to come whereunto may it please our redeemer to conduct vs all by the merits of his most holy passion THE COMPLAINT OF A SOVLE APPREHENDING THE AETERNITYE OF HELL FOr EVER neuer ending my good god S'an infinite that knovvs no period Restlesse hovvlinge burninge dyinge EVER So endlesse each a part and all togeather If after many thousand yeares vvere past These ills should end there vvould be hope at last But this for EVER termelesse all consumes And old past Age its infancy resumes The fullest mirth hard EVER doth controule And sad and silent strikes th' afflicted soule By Attoms could a vvrenne ouer the mayne Transfer the headlesse Alpes vvith easlesse payne And euery thousand yeares but once could fly Or vvhen an Ant had suckt the Ocean dry Should be the terme this tardy hope might please The Damned soules that once there vvould be ease But Horred EVER tyme and all or'e past Exists alone vvith him that ● first and last FINIS OFFICIVM PARVVM in honorem S.
