of thy Servants that being enabled by thy Holy Spirit I may so walk according to thy Will that when I come to dye I may given up my account with joy and not with grief and being through the Merits of thy blessed Son and our alone Lord and Saviour received into thy heavenly Kingdom I may in thy Eternal Sabbath of Joy and Rest praise and adore thee ever world without end Amen A Prayer to be said on Monday or the Second day of the Week O Lord enter not into Judgment with thy Servant according to his deserts for in thy sight can no Man living be justified but rather in the abundance of thy Mercy have compassion on me and pardon my Transgressions forgive the multitude of my Iniquities and suffer the Light of thy Countenance to shine upon me enlighten me with thy Holy Spirit that I may truly discern and abhor my Sins and turn away from the Pollutions whereby I am defiled Pardon O Lord and blot out the manifold offences by which I have justly provoked thee to let thy indignation wax hot against me till I am consumed and this I beg for the sake and upon account of thy dear Son and our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Amen A Prayer to be said on Tuesday or the Third day of the Week O Lord God most Holy and Righteous thou Father of Spirits and everlasting King of Mercy with shame and confusion of Face I prostrate my self before thee acknowledging and confessing my vileness and that my Sins are ever before thee O pardon my manifold transgressions and in the multitude of thy mercies save and protect me from the Wrath to come O give me a heart to depart from all the ways of Iniquity and suffer me no more by my Sinning against thee to grieve thy holy Spirit but enrole me amongst the remnant of thy Elect to be sealed by it to the day of Redemption that when I leave this mortal Life I may be admitted into the number of thy Saints to praise thee in life Eternal World without end Amen A Prayer to be said on Wednesday or the Fourth day of the Week O Lord God gracious and merciful of long-suffering patience and forbearance I most humbly and heartily return all praise and thanks for the manifold Blessings and Favours bestowed upon me imploring continually thy divine

thou hast been graciously pleased to put into my hands to thy honour and glory and to the safety and salvation of my own precious and immortal Soul through the Merits and Mediation of Jesus Christ our Blessed Lord and Saviour Amen A Prayer to be said on Thursday or the Fifth day of the Week GReat Creator of Heaven and Earth Lord God infinitely wise and Eternal look down upon me with the eyes of thy pity and take compassion on me thy poor and unworthy Servant laden with the intollerable Load of mine Iniquicies and labouring under the heavy burthen of my Sin hear my Prayer and let my cry come unto thee remember that I am thy Creature and the work of thy hands and destroy not what thou hast made though my Sins have deserved it Oh look not upon my Sin but upon the Merits of thy well-beloved Son and through his Wounds let thy Mercy plead with thy Justice that so considering my weakness and frailty my Heart by thy divine Spirit may be so renewed within me that growing up in Grace I may wholly apply my self to thy Service and walk in thy ways to my Consolation here and my endless Comfort hereafter Amen A Prayer to be said on Friday the Sixth day of the Week for young people O Lord consider not the frailties of my Youth nor the vanity of my younger years but pardon my former transgressions and ingrave thy Laws on my Heart that I may remember thee my Creator in the days of my Youth before the evil day come laying hold of the acceptable time with all humility to prostrate my self before thee in whom alone I put my trust Oh let not the Adversary gain that advantage over me but enable me to resist the power and subtilty of the Tempter and manfully to fight under the Banner of thy dear Son against the World the Flesh and the Devil that when I am taken from thy Church Militant on Earth I may be made a Member of thy Church Triumphant in Heaven there with Angels Arch-angels all the Company of Saints praise and adore thee from everlasting to everlasting VVorld without end Amen A Prayer

was not only pleased to be born of a Virgin and to take upon thee the form of a Servant but even to humble thy self to the Death of the Cross to redeem and restore miserable lost and undone Mankind who lay in Darkness and the Shadow and didst ordain sacred mysteries as Pledges of thy Love and a memorial of thy Death till thy second coming in Glory to judge both the Quick and the Dead Grant that by the inward workings of thy Grace I may be so fitted and prepared to receive thy Holy Communion and spititually partake of thy Body and Blood that it may redound to my endless comfort and that having a true sense of thy compassion towards me I may bless and adore thy holy name for ever and ever Amen A Prayer proper to be said after the Receiving the Communion O Lord God and most mercifull Father as 〈◊〉 have been spiritually a partaker of the mystical Body and Blood of thy dear Son so let me ever feed on him in my heart with Faith an● Fear and being aided and strengthened by the assistance of thy Divine Spirit I may grow up is Grace and be perfect in every good work as far as the frailties inherent to humane Nature will admit Thoroughly purge me O Lord and give a clean Heart and a contrite Spirit that I may find a renewing and a Regeneration within me that living here according to thy will I may be numbred with thy Elect and dying in thy favour be everlastingly happy through the Merits of Jesus Christ thy only Son and our ever Blessed Lord and Saviour Amen The Dying Man's Admonition to Repentance and Amendment of Life My Beloved take this as my farewell IT is good for Old and Young ever to be intent upon their latter end Labour to live so that when they come to dye they need not fear the Terrors of Death which indeed to those that walk uprightly can be no ways dreadfull but rather proves a Friend to set the Soul at Liberty from her Earthly Prison and gives her leave to mount to Heaven O consider then whilst it is to day and hear the Voice of our Blessed Lord calling upon you to repent and warning you to flee from the wrath to come Oh flee flee from Sin and then the second Death will have no power over you O let your lights so shine before Men that they seeing your good works may glorifie your Father which is in Heaven and when it is your time as now it is mine to leave this World you may be received into the Eternal habitations and there receive an incorruptable Crown of Life Amen The Religious and Pious Sayings o● J.

Licensed according to Order Printed for W. Thackeray at the Angel in Duck-lane near West-smithfield ENGLANDS Golden Watch-bell c. Heb. chap. 9. ver 27. It is appointed for all Men once to dye and after Death to come to Judgment IF Men as it the Saying of an eminent Father of the Primitive Church would always have Death and Judgment before their Eyes if they would but fancy seriously that they heard the dreadfull sound of Arise ye dead and come to Judgment continually in their ears they would never do amiss and certain it is however they may flatter and in dulge themselves in a long Security It is appointed for all Men once to dye and after that to come to Judgment and where then shall the Sinner and Ungodly appear how shall the unprofitable Servant look his Lord in the Face when he has not only neglected to improve his Talent but has idlely and vainly squandred away the precious moments of Time allowed him to traffick with Heaven for Eternity with what Face can he appear before the Judge of all the Earth to whom all darkness is as day and to whom all secrets are layed open all the Sins even from the first Commission to the Grave stand open and naked to his view when even himself shall be bound to confess he knew the Will of his Master and did it not What I say will those that triffe away their days in ease and idleness and the pursuit of vanity do in that day of fury and fear when a universal flood of Fire shall overstream the whole World and consume both the Beauty and Glory thereof when at the sound of the Trumpet all Graves shall open and the drousie dead shall break from the Chains of Death to appear before the dread Tribunal of their Judge for if Job confessed he always trembled before the Majesty of God like one that failed in a stormy Tempest and that his fear hath been so great that he hath been unable to bear it needs must then the Sinner accompanied with nothing but an accusing Conscience tremble much more when he sees the Book opened wherein are Registred all his past actions even every evil Thought for which he when least able must give an account for as the Wise man saith God bringeth every secret Work into Judgment whether it be good or evil and St. John says The Book was opened and the dead were judged out of the things that were written therein Oh! then it will be that the Rocks and Mountains will be called upon in vain to hide the Guilty from the face of the Lamb and from the Face of him that sitteth upon the Throne Oh consider it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God for the Kingly Prophet affirms that if his Wrath be but a little kindled in his Breast Blessed are they that put their trust in him Psalm 2.12 For who can dwell with the everlasting Burnings Isa 14 and with such must those dwell not for a time but to all Eternity who put far away the Evil day and by relying at most upon a Death-bed Repentance are found unprovided of a Wedding Garment when they come to the Marriage Feast and sad was his case and ever to be deplored who was so found as you may read it Mat. 22.11.12.13 viz. And when the King came in to see the Guest he saw there a Man that had not on a Wedding Garment and he said unto him friend how camest thou in hither not having a Wedding Garment and he was speechless then said the King to the Servants Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into utter darkness there shall be weeping and nashing of teeth in the like manner shall Sinners in the last day be speechless that is confounded and amazed at the sense of their guilt not knowing what excuse to make for the breach of those Laws that were enjoyned them upon no lesser a penalty than eternal Death to those that break them and on the other hand no less than an Eternal weight of Glory a Crown of Righteousness and Pleasures that fade not away to those that keep them and persevere in them For when the Son of Man shall come in his Glory and the Holy Angels with him then shall he sit upon the Throne of his Glory and before him shall be gathered all Nations and he shall separate them out from one another as the Shepherd divideth the Sheep from the Goats and he shall set the Sheep on the Right hand but the Goats on the Left Mat. 25.31.32.33 then shall the one be rewarded and the other punished for by the Sheep are meant those that have persevered in well-doing those that know their Lords Will and obey it and by Goats those that despise his Counsells and will have none of his Reproofs as will plainly appear in the subsequent verses of the foregoing Chapter and in the 46. verse the definitive Sentence viz. These meaning the Goats placed on the Left hand shall go into everlasting punishment but the Righteous meaning the Sheep on the Right hand into Life Eternal Consider these things all you that have as yet the Golden opportunity left by Time in you hands and Kiss the Son least he be angry and ye perish in the way Psal 2.12 for although the young man shine to day like the glist'ring of a Dove's neck and dance like a bubble upon the Waves yet too morrow he may set in the gloomy shades of Death and his place remember him no more How many are there that sink suddenly into the blackness of night and are laid up in the gloomy Caves of during Darkness till the Arch-angel's Trumpet rouze them from their long sleep to appear with the rest gathered from the four Winds of Heaven when they the least dream'd of leaving their Pageant Glories when they thought they most securely hugged and embraced the trifling vanities of the lower World putting far away the evil day like the Fool in
