those who charitably attend about me in my sickness Keep me always submissive and devout towards thee and thankful and easie unto them And let thy Blessing go along with all their Means and Medicines and in thy due time asswage and end my pains and either restore me to my strength and send me health and ease and the mercies of a longer and a better life or else a blessed and a comf●rtable death for our Lord Jesus Christ●s sake Amen Out of the Office of Visitation of the Sick O! Lord look down from Heaven ●ehold visit and relieve me thy Servant Look upon me with the eyes of thy mercy give me comfort and sure confidence in thee defend me from the danger of the enemy and keep me in perpetual peace and safety through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen Our Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our Trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us And lead us not into Temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory for ever and ever Amen And he may still conclude with the Lord's Prayer on all occasions when he has used as many of these Prayers as he thinks fit for that time Particular Prayers for the Duties and Needs of Sick Persons Prayers for Repentance in Sickness I. RIghteous art thou O! God in all these pains and sorrows which punish my sins and try my patience and I have none to accuse or complain of for the same but my self I receive my sickness as the Chastisement of a Sinner and am willing to bear Chastisement for my sins that I may be thereby reclaimed from them Correct me O! Lord that thou mayest not condemn me and let me be judged by thee for my sins and judge my self for them here that I may have nothing but mercy without judgment to receive at thine hands hereafter But judge me O! My God with Mercy and not in thine Anger Judge me not according as my sins have deserved but according as my weakness can bear and according as thy Compassions are wont to mitigate thy Judgments And let my sickness work my true Repentance and prove an happy means in the hand of thy mercy to expiate my Guilts not to encrease them and to reclaim me perfectly from all the Evils which I have committed formerly not to occasion my committing more and to confer that rest and peace upon my Soul which is denyed to my Body for our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's sake Amen 2. Thou smitest me O! Gracious Lord that thou mayst cure me and punishest my sin that thou mayest thereby amend and reclaim my person And I am weary of my sins which have brought upon me all these Sorrows and which I know assuredly will bring infinitely worse unless I prevent the same by my timely and true Repentance of them Help me therefore to search them out O! God and to discover every accursed thing And when I see them let me not stop at any one but set my self intirely to renounce and amend all Let thy love make me h●te every evil way And make my purposes against them strong and resolute and my care in fulfilling the same vigilant and patient and all the remainder of my days to be one continued defacement of my former Errors and Devotion of my self to thy Service Lord Cure my Folly by my Misery and teach me by the loss of my bodily ease to purchase the Blessing of true Repentance and the comfortable hopes of thy merciful acceptance thereof thro the Merits of our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen To make his Confessions and other Acts of Repentance with greater sureness and satisfaction to himself the Sick man must first make a discovery of his Sins by examining himself and trying his ways upon the several Heads and Branches of God's Commandments And thereby inquire into the state of his Soul to see whether he is already safe within the terms of pardon or what he wants to make him so This is a work for all men at all times who would live with safety or die with peace But especially for sick and dying persons who are more sensible their case admits of no delays and who not only ought but also more commonly are wont to make it their earnest desire and care And in their performance of this most important Task with security and comfort I have assisted them as well as I can in the Tryal or Judgment of the Soul c. in a small Treatise intituled A Companion for the Penitent to which I refer them 3. A Confession of Sins taken out of the Office for the Penitent or those who mourn for sin p. 39. c. O! Almighty and most Righteous Lord I do hear with grief of heart and with shame and deep humility confess unto thy Dreadful Majesty that my sins are exceeding many and great and have been frequently repeated I have oft-times transgressed out of Ignorance O! that I could not say careless Ignorance under Opportunities of Knowledge yea or affected Ignorance espoused for Earthly ends against Light and clear Evidence which was enough to shame and silence me though not to gain and convince me But I have transgressed oftner out of Negligence Worldly Fear or Desire yea alas too oft out of presumptuous Wilfulness condemning the Evil whilst I was a doing it and offending wittingly and with Checks and Convictions to the contrary And these Sins I have been drawn to against all the Endearments of thy Mercies and all the Alarms and louder Warnings of thy Punishments against all the Rebukes and Strivings of thy Grace and of my own Conscience and of other faithful and seasonable Admonishers And against all mine own Purposes and Engagements Deliberately made and solemnly profess'd and frequently repeated that I would offend therein no more Lord be merciful to me a Great and Wretched Sinner 2. BUT thou O! Blessed Jesus by making thy self a Sin-Offering for us art come to take away the Sins of all who truly Repent thereof And O! Merciful Lord tho' my Sins are many and grievous yet I do not desire to overlook them but would gladly see and discover them all that I may penitently bewail and forsake them And Oh! That no corrupt Passions nor love of Worldly or Carnal Interests may ever byass me or blind my Eyes from seeing the same whilst there is space left me to repent of them And as for those sins which I do know my self to be guilty of I do not cover but with shame confess them I do not justifie nor excuse but condemn my self for the same I stand thereby guilty O! Lord of highest Disobedience against the strictest Obligations of wretched Disingenuity and Unthankfulness against the most endearing Mercies and of most stupid Folly against my own clearest highest and most

that when he can bear no longer God will inflict no longer And who can say how much or how long God's Grace shall enable a man to bear And the same Grace that did enable him to bear it yesterday is as powerful and as ready now to enable him to bear as much again to day Yea and till we are tryed we none of us know what or how long we can bear And Resolution by God's Crace can bear much a great deal more and a great deal longer than we thought of But if we are irresolute any thing of trouble is difficult And any Difficulty will conquer those who come prepared not to bear and strive with it but to yield If his thoughts are disturbed and his Devotions faint and broken by reason of his weakness or pain let him have Patience with himself and believe that God will have Patience with him too and exact no more of him whilst he is in that condition And let him frequently say Under our infirmity's the Spirit helpeth us by holy and affectionate tho' unuttered groans and he who Searcheth the Heart hears them Lord I will Honour thee by submitting my will to thine and being content with my Sickness And when thou makest me sick I will present thee with a sick man's offering and Pray to thee the best I can with my sickly Faculties And from a sickly and feeble man Good Lord accept a sickly and Feeble Supplication Amen Lord thou rejectest not the broken Spirit despise not the brokenness of my Devotions Amen Out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings thou hast Perfected Praise Refuse it not out of my mouth then O! God which in the midst of all my weakness is not more weak than theirs Amen Let him also be constantly mindful to shew Patience and thankfulness towards those who kindly attend about him And not be fretful and show uneasieness on every little slowness or forgetfulness or when things are not done for him just when and as he would have them And let him often say to himself under any Temptations to uneasiness with his Attendants Lord if they Err even their Errors are governed and directed by thy hand which Errs not and thou hast some wise and kind end to serve by it either for my Soul or Body Thou bringest about thy gracious purposes concerning me by their Errours and oversights as well as by their Care and Kindness And therefore instead of being angry at them I humbly submit to thee and look to have it turn'd to good because it is thy doing Amen Lord enable me to receive all the Pains which thou sendest upon me with Patience but all the kind Services which they seek to do me with Thankfulness Amen Remember Lord for them all their charitable Services but remember not against me my fretfulness or uneasiness in the acceptance thereof Amen Lord enable them to consider my weakness and to Pity and bear with it and enable me to watch against it and not to fall any more into it Amen And let him think it is now his work and Task to shew an example of Humility Patience Quiet Resignation to the Hand that smites him and of comfortable Hope and trust in God and a thankful Sense of all his past and present mercies to all visitants And to arm him yet more thoroly with all this Patience which is the virtue most particularly required and marked out and yet most difficult to be exercised and preserved in his Case Let him set before his Eyes the far greater Tryals and Sufferings of the ever Blessed Son of God Jesus Christ. Let him think within himself and let it often be suggested to him by others that 't is not for us to accuse God for suffering our patience to be tryed when he could thus suffer his Patience to be tryed That we are not to think much at suffering Tryals deservedly and for our selves when he refused not to suffer infinitely Greater without having deserved to suffer any thing himself but merely in Pity and kindness for others yea for his Enemies Let him be reminded that God has made Pain the way to pleasure and that Jesus bore pains before he was fixed in ease That if the present pains are sad Eternal pains are infinitely sadder and that we need these here to prevent our falling under those hereafter And instead of repineing that we are left still to suffer the pains of this world let him rejoyce and give God thanks that we are delivered by his Mercy and our Blessed Saviour's merits from the endless and insupportable Anguish of the next World Instead of Repineing therefore let him often say Thy will be done O! my God give me my evil things here that I may have Everlasting Rest and joy with thee hereafter Amen I am content to be a member of an afflicted Saviour and to suffer with him in Hopes at last thro' thy mercy to rejoyce and Reign with him Amen 'T is enough yea too much O! Lord for the Servant to be as his Master Since he bore Sorrows I will not refuse them but meekly bear them after him whilst thou pleasest and Patiently wait to be eased thereof at thy time Amen Lord thou art just in my Sorrows thou art kind in them I justifie thee yea I thank thee for what I feel I disclaim my own will either about the bringing or removing of my Pains and submit my Self wholly to take up with thine Amen And during all the progress of the Sickness Devotions and Pious Thoughts and set Prayers or short Ejaculations are to be the Sick mans vital Breath and should constantly be sent up to God whilst he has Spirit left to offer them Let him be frequently enjoying the Prayers of the Church from the Minister or others And any of the Prayers hereafter following for particular Graces or for any of his Particular needs or desires not burdening himself with too many Prayers or too long ones at once but taking them as his Strength or Time Serves or as employing his thoughts thereupon to exercise not to burden them And when he is kept from reading and using them himself let such of them as he likes or desires be read to him by his Friends for him to follow and put up to God with Holy desires And when he wants leisure or Strength for longer let him distinguish minutes or the small Portions of his time with shorter Petitions and Ejaculations He may be often affectionately repeating the Lords Prayer Or any Particular Petitions thereof as thy Kingdom come thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Forgive us our Trespasses as we forgive them that Trespass against us Lead us not into Temptation but deliver us from evil or the like as best Suits with his present needs or desires Or any of the forementioned short Petitions and Ejaculations which he may be often repeating and devoutly offering up from his own Memory or the Reading of his friends
