a most perfect Example and finally thou didst consent upon that tree to die and by thy Death to Redeem us I humbly beseech thee for the incomparable patience thou shewedst in the whole course of thy Life and then especially when thy malicious Enemies so raged against thee when they mocked thee and spit upon thy Face when they hood-winked thine eyes and with their most impure hands buffeted thy Cheeks when they cruelly scourged thee fast bound to a Pillar when they did thrust upon thy sacred Head a Crown of Thornes and prest their sharp points into thy Temples when with Iron Nails they pierced thy blessed Hands stretched along upon the Cross when thy blessed Side was transfixt with a Spear when in thy great thirst and extreme Agony they offered thee a spunge full of vinegar and gall

Holy and eternal Jesus who didst for our sakes Fast forty dayes and forty nights and hast left to us thy Example and thy prediction that in the dayes of thy absence from us we thy Servants and Children of thy Bride-Chamber should Fast teach us to do this act of discipline so that it may become an Act of Religion Let us never be like Esau valuing a Dish of meat above a Blessing but let us deny our appetites of Meat and Drink and accustome our selves to the yoke and substract the fuel of our lusts and the incentives of all our unworthy desires that our bodies being free from the intemperances of nutriment and our Spirits from the load and pressure of Appetite we may have no desires but of thee that our outward Man daily decaying by the violence of time and mortified by the abatements of its too free and unnecessary support it may by degrees resign to the intire dominion of the Soul and may passe from vanity to piety from weakness to ghostly strength from darknesse and mixtures of impurity to great transparencies and charity in the society of a beautiful Soul reigning with thee in the glories of eternity O holy and eternal Iesu Amen O God the Authour of peace and

Lord and so shall wee be turned be favourable O Lord be favourable to thy People who turn to thee in weeping fasting and praying For thou art a merciful God full of compassion long-suffering and of great pity Thou sparest when we deserve punishment and in thy wrath thinkest upon Mercy Spare thy People good Lord spare them and let not thine Heritage be brought to confusion Hear us O Lord for thy merty is great and after the multitude of thy mercies look upon us through the Merits and mediation of thy blessed Son Iesus Christ our Lord Amen O Lord hear our Prayers And let our Cry come unto thee O God whose nature and property is ever to have mercy and to forgive receive our humble Petitions and grant that the tender mercy of thy piety may mildly absolve us whom the chain of sin doth bind through thy sweet Son Iesus Christ our Lord Amen The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with us all evermore Amen Then devoutly rise from your knees and say The 143. Psalm 1. HEar my Prayer O Lord and consider my desire hearken unto me for thy truth and righteousness sake 2.

HAving now finished these private Instructions for your use you must remember that I do not deliver this with any Intention that by your using of these private Offices you should in the least kind neglect the glorious Service of your Mother the holy Church but be very conversant in your attendance at the Altar for there you may receive greater satisfaction than is possible to be had elsewhere It is true there is amongst those who are enemies to the Peace of the Church or else are ignorant and do not understand the Reasons of her several Offices who usually say What shall they go to Church to hear Common-Prayer they may read that at home A very absurd objection and not worth the answering but the advantages you may receive there are many but especially when you come to that holy place there you meet with the People of God in holy Worship there if you truly Confess your sins you receive Absolution from the Priest there the Priest is ready to give you such Benedictions as the Church directs which holy Communion and the power of the Priest observe the Learned Dr. Taylor in his great Exemplar in his Prayer after his Meditation
