and cleamency vouchsafe so to direct my mynde in the way of thy commaundementes that all my doinges may be acceptable before thee which art the God of my strength and my saluation I beseche thée also moste blessed and gloryous trinitie that those s●arkes of fayth that by thy heauenlie grace are already planted in my hart may by the operation of thy diuine breth within me euery daye more and more enflame by contiuall meditation of thy holy scriptures increase mightily within me to the suppression of vice and aduauncement of vertue wherby I may walke worthy of that profession wherevnto thou haste called me walking in the same with true zeale and simplicitie of hart all the dayes of my life I besech thée also most blessed Trinitie that thou of thy accustomed mercy and loue wilt make

orderly honestly my doinges circumspectly vertuously hauing thy feare before myne eyes in all my thoughtes deedes and words when Ilie downe and when I ryse vp at my last ●nd and euer more Amen A prayer before the receauing of the communiō O Swéet Iesu the Sonne of the euerliuing God thou gauest thy body to be cruelly tormented to the death to deliuer and redeme me most miserable wretched sinner that by the lawe was dead in iniquitie subiecte to the misery of eternall damnation haue mercy vpō me poore miserable wretch whome the multitud of myne offences doeth so terrifie and driue into such méere desperation that I dare not once looke vp vpon the brightnes of thy glory nor presume to present my selfe before thy deuine Maiestie in hope to obtayne remission of my sinnes but depending onely vpō a sure faith in thee my Lord and Sauiour by whose death and passion I am assuredly informed by faith that I am fréely iustified with absolute remission of all myne offences Wherefore I most humbly appeale vnto thy Throne of mercy crying with the Publicanne Lorde haue mercy vpō me thy mercy pardon my faltes bynde vp my woundes and poure in thy sweet oyle like a good Samaritan whereby I may be purified and purged from those naughty tares of sinne which haue plowed me euen as a shadowe foloweth the body from the verye instant of my Natiuitie I come as an abiecte wretch and reprobate to thée that art the mediator and intercessor to reconcile me to thy Father from whose sauoure I fell for transgression of his cōmaundement in my greate Grandfather Adam moste humbly desiring thee to heale myne infirmitie and sickenes to washe away my sinne and filthynes to illuminate my blyndenes to conduct me to the right way that nowe wander in the wide dessert of error to comfort mee destitute of all helpe and goodnes I confesse most swéete Sauiour that I am but earth and ashes a confused Chaos and lumpe of sinne and of my selfe not worthy to loke vp toward heauen much lesse to presume vnto thy holy table to the communication of that most blessed Sacrement of thy body whereof whosoeuer eateth worthylie with a stedfast and inmoueable fayth in thee hath euerlasting lyfe but whosoeuer eateth thereof vnworthily as Iudas dyd eateth his owne dampnation Therefore although I come lyke an vncleane sinner be●●● polluted both in body 〈◊〉 yet reposinge my whole fayth and confidence in the merites of thy passiō I haue presumed to come to thy table to be made partaker of that vnspeakeable ben●●te of thy death feedinge outwardly vpon materyall bread but inwardly by faith vpon thy blessed bodye the bread representing a
