Forgiue me Lord forgiue me my sinnes and for thy holy name saue my soule that thou hast redeemed with thy precious bloud I commit my selfe wholly to thy mercie I resigne mee into thy hands doe with me

through my frailtie and great wretchednes I beseech thee to amend them and sanctifie them and make them liking and acceptable vnto thee alway make them better better bring me though I be a slow vnprofitable seruāt to a blessed happy end I offer also vnto thee my prayer peaceable offering for all them that haue hindred me greeued me and wrought me sorrow and also for all them whom I haue at any time made heauy troubled grieued or iniured in thought word or deed wittingly or ignorantly that thou forgiue vs altogether our sinnes offences against thee and of each of vs against other and that thou Lord take from our hearts all enuie suspicion wrath variance pride indignation and contention and whatsoeuer may let charity or diminish fraternall loue that each of vs should haue to other Haue mercy Lord haue mercy on all them that aske thee mercy and giue vs grace that wee may receiue thy precious bodie and bloud which thou really and truly offerest vnto all and giuest vnto all thy children the true beleeuers in this blessed Sacrament that through the liuely power of this thy holy body receiued by vs in a true stedfast and vnfained faith by and through the operation of the holy Ghost wee and all thy whole Church may receiue remission of sin and obtaine euerlasting life And after this meditation let him vow and promise purpose also with himselfe through the grace of God and by the working of the holy Ghost euer after more diligently to serue God for seeing a man is busie to serue an earthly Lord with all his dilignece much more should wee be diligent to serue our Lord God and to lift vp our hearts vnto him and to consider the g●eatnes of God and the wretchednes of our selues how great and how worthy God is how little how vnworthie our selues are consider also the great loue of God that would take to himselfe that is so worthy the fraile weake estate of mankind not for any cause of his own but for the great loue hee bare vnto vs consider also his vnspeakable and rich mercy towards miserable and wretched sinners who not onely offered himselfe to death for vs on the crosse but also giueth himselfe to vs in the Sacrament to be our spirituall meate ann drinke and to bee fully with vs and in vs. Wherfore let euerie Christian man if hee haue time before the receiuing of the blessed Sacrament say thus in his heart Lord I know well that al workes and deserts of men be they neuer so holy are not worthy to receiue thee how mu●h more am I vnworthy that each day sinne and as a man vncorrigible dwell still therein O Lord why do I such de●pite vnto thee for to cast thee my precious Lord into the foule pit of my conscience for surely there is no dung more stincking then my soule is O Lord what shall I doe shall I lay thee in that foule place surely Lord I durst not but in hope of thy mercies but I beleeue and am assured that thy mercies are endlesly more then all my sinne and therefore in full trust of thy goodnes I offer my selfe to receiue thee as a sicke man receiueth a medicine thou art the most soueraine salue and I am sore sicke therefore I take thee to bee made whole through thee and the sicker that my soule is the more desire I haue to be healed and the more need I haue of thee for why in healing of my deadly sicknes shall well bee shewed and commended the greatnesse of thy goodnesse that wilt helpe and heale so wretched a creature and bring mee to the possession of euerlasting life through the merits of thy precious death and passion And thus must wee that are sicke in sinne receiue this healthfull medicine of the holy Sacrament the body and bloud of Christ and when we feele through it any comfort to our soules let vs ascribe that comfort not to our selues but to the goodnes of God which so comforteth and refresheth our soules by feeding vs with his own flesh and bloud of his own great mercy grace let vs thus thinke with our selues loe thus doth our Lord vnto vs to shew vs our wretchednes and miseries wherein we lie intāgled vnles we be loosed by him and to ouercome our wickednes with the plentie of his goodnes for he maketh vs that are dead in sinne to feele life and being rotten and stincking wormes to tast heauenly sweetnes O Lord God sith thou art so mercifull to vs that now liue in sinne as to feed vs with the heauenly bread of thy owne flesh and bloud in this holy sacrament by which foode through the working of the holy Ghost wee are nourished and cherished in body and soule vnto life euerlasting let our hearts from henceforth in this most cherefully reioyce that our God our spouse and our loue is made vnto vs our spirituall meate and drinke to strengthen our bodies and soules that wee may grow vp to life euerlasting the bilsse of Saints the ioy of Angels the sonne of the highest father maketh himselfe our spirituall nourishing the light of the world the sonne of righteousnes the wisedome of God is made the foode of our soule the redeemer of man the brightnes of heauen the matter of all mirth and the Lord of ioy vouchsafeth for to feed vs with himselfe what kindnes what courtesie what tokē of loue might bee more Wherefore since wee haue him let vs not from henceforth suffer our hearts to delight in any creature for it were a great vnkindnes and vile wretchednes of vs after the receiuing of so worthy a meate so precious and sweete as it

O the hope of Israel the sauiour thereof in the time of trouble why art thou as a stranger in the land as one that passeth by to tarry for a night why art thou as a man astonied as a strōg man that cannot helpe yet art thou O lord in the middest of vs thy name is called vpon vs O forsake vs not Thus saith the lord vnto this people thus haue they delighted to wander they haue not refrained their feete Therfore hath the lord no delight in them but he will now remember their iniquitie and visit their sinnes when they fast I will not he●re their cries I will not accept them but I will consume them by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence Wee acknowledge O lord our wickednes and the iniquitie of our fathers for wee haue sinned against thee do not abhorre vs for thy names sake cast not downe the throne of thy glory remember and breake not thy couenant with vs. Are there any among the vanities of the gentiles that can giue raine or can the heauens giue showers is it not thou O lord our God Therefore will we waite vpon thee for thou hast made all these things Then said the lord vnto me though Moises and Samuel stoode before me yet mine affection could not be towards this people Cast them out of my sight and let them depart and if they say vnto thee whither shall wee depart then tell them thus saith the lord such as are apointed to death vnto death such as are for the sword to the sword and such as are for famine to the famine such as are for the captiuitie to the captiuitie and I will appoint ouer them foure kindes saith the Lord the sword to slay and the dogs to teare in pieces and the fowles of the heauen and the beasts of the earth to deuoure and to destroy Thou hast forsaken me saith the lord and gone backward therfore will I stretch out my hand against thee and destroy thee for I am wearie with repenting Thy substance and thy treasures will I giue to be spoiled without gaine and that for all thy sinnes euen in all thy borders Behold saith the lord I will send out many fishers and they shall fish them and after I will send out many hunters and they shall hunt them from euerie mountaine and from euery hill out of the caues of the rocks for mine eies are vppon all their waies they are not hid from my face neither is their iniquitie hid from mine eies And first I will recompence their iniquitie their sinne double because they haue defiled my land and haue filled my inheritance with their filthy carrions and their abhominations Thus saith the lord cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arme and withdraweth his heart from the lord for he shall be like the heath in the wildernes shall not see when any good commeth but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernes in a salt land and not inhabited Blessed is the man that trusteth in the lord and whose hope the lord is for he shall be as a tree that is plāted by the water which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer shall not feele when the heate commeth but her leafe shall be greene and shall not care for the yeare of drouth neither shal cease from yielding fruit The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things who can know it I the lord search the heart and try the reines euen to giue euery man according to his waies and according to the fruit of his workes As the partrich gathereth the yong which she hath not brought forth so he that gathereth riches and not by right shall leaue them in the middest of his daies and at his end shall be a foole O Lord the hope of Israel all that forsake thee shal be confounded they that depart frō thee shall bee written in the earth because they haue forsaken the Lord the fountaine of liuing waters Heale me O Lord and I shall be whole saue me and I shall be saued for thou art my praise Then the word of the Lord came vnto me saying I wil speake sodainly against a nation or against a kingdome to pluck it vp and to roote it out and to destroy it but if this nation against whom I haue pronounced turne from their wickednes I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vppon them And I will speake sodainly concerning a nation concerning a kingdome to build it and to plant it but if it doe euill in my sight heare not my voice I will repent of the good that I thought to doe for them Thus saith the Lord God of Hostes the God of Israel behold I will bring vpon this citie and vpon all her towns all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it because they haue hardned their necks would not heare my words but they said desperately surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations and doe euery man after the stubbornnes of his wicked
