mee for my soul is in trouble and anguish because of its departure from the body O let not the assemblies of its wicked and cruel enemies méet it in the passing forth nor hinder me by reason of the sins of my passed life O Lord be favourable unto mée that my soul may not behold the hellish countenance of the Spirits of darknesse but let thy bright and joyful Angels entertain it that it may give glory to thy Holy Name and to thy Majesty Place me by thy merciful Arme before thy Seat of Iudgement and let not the hand of the Prince of this World snatch mée from thy Presence or bear mee into Hell

which are the cause of all this and we purpose amendment Wée are but men dust and ashes not able to bear long therefore Lord have mercy upon us and that soon send us comfort and suffer us not to

blesse us and all those that depend upon us Set thy saving mark upon out houses as thou didst upon the Israelites and give order to the Destroyer that he hurt us not Put strength to our Medicines let thy good blessing make the Preservatives of the Physitian and our shuttings up places of more security to us and profitable and let us not trust too much in the outward Means but chiefly in thy Mercies and Blessings upon them kéep us in our down lying and uprising and protect us in our vocations Have pity upon our distressed brethren comfort the desolate Widdows provide for all the Fatherlesse Children gather us together again that by this means are dispersed and continue thy Merciful Work in diminishing our dead numbers till wée may justly say in confidence and thanks with the Prophet we shall not dye but live and declare the Works of the Lord Grant this O Lord for Iesus Christs sake our onely Saviour Amen A Prayer to bee said in the Progress of Sickness O Lord my God blessed Iesu who by thy bitter Death and Passion hast swéetned the Cup of Death to us taking away its bitterness and sting and making it an entrance to Life and Glory Have pity upon mée thy Servant who have so déep a share in sin that I cannot shake off the terrours of Death but that my Nature with its hereditary corruption still would preserve it self in a disunion from the joyes of thy Kingdome Lord I acknowledge my own infirmities and begge thy pity it is better for me to be with thée but the remembrance of my sins doth so depress my growing confidence that I am in a great strait betwéen my fears and hopes betwéen the infirmities of my Nature and the better desires of conforming to thy holy Will and Pleasure O my dear Redéemer wean my soul and all my desires from the flatteries of this World Pardon all my sins and consign so great a favour by the comforts and attestation of thy Divinest Spirit that my fears being mastered my sins pardoned my desires rectified as the Hart thirsts after the springs of water so my soul may long after thée O God and to enter into thy Courts Heavenly Father if it may be for thy Glory and my Ghostly good to have the daies of my Pilgrimage prolonged I begg of thée health and life but if it bée not pleasing to thée to have this Cup passe from mée thy will be done My Saviour hath drunk off all the bitternesse behold O Lord I am in thy hands do with me as séemeth good in thine eyes Though I walk through the Valley of the shadow of the death I will fear none evil for thou art with me thy Rod and thy Staffe comfort me I will lay me down in peace and take my rest for it is thou Lord only who shalt make me to dwell in everlasting safety and to partake of the joyes of thy Kingdome who Livest and Reignest eternal God World without end Amen A Prayer for one in danger of Death O Lord Iesus Christ our health and life our hope and our Resurrection from the dead I resign my self up to thy holy will and pleasure either to life that I may live longer to thy service and amendment or to death to the perpetual enjoyment of thy presence and of thy Glories Into thy hands I commend my spirit for I know O Lord that nothing can perish which is committed to thy Mercy For my soul strengthen it with thy Grace against all temptations let thy loving kindness defend it as with a shield against all the violences and hostile assaults of Satan Let the same mercie bee my guard and defence which protected thy Martyrs Crowning them with victory in the midst of flames horrid torments and most cruel deaths There is no help in me O Lord I cannot by mine own power give a minutes rest to my wearied body but my trust is in thy sure mercies and I call to minde to my unspeakable comfort that thou weart hungry and thirsty and wearied and whipt and Crowned with Thorns and mocked and Crucified for mée O let that Mercy which made thée suffer for me
