Amen For the Sick * O God by whose appointment the moments of our life run out I bessech thee receive my prayers for thy sick servants in whose behalf I most humbly beg the assistance of thy mercie that their health being restored to them they may return thanks to thee in thy holy Church through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen At the Visitation of the Sick * ARe you perswaded 1. That no sickness or cross comes to any one by chance or at all adventures 2. But that they come from God without whose providence no bodie is afflicted with diseases 3. And that God being most wise never will suffer any thing to befal us but when it is expedient to be so 4. And that this sickness or cross which God has now sent upon you is therefore expedient for you 5. And moreover that God has the assection of a Father towards us And that a Father whether he be indulgent to his Children or whether he correct them is a Father alike in both and that he does the latter with no less kindness nay perhaps with greater than he does the former 6. That for a long time he has bestowed good things upon you and though now he gives you evil things yet he would not have brought the evil upon you but onely to be the occasion of greater good that is that you may return to him 7. That 't is an effect of his gracious favour that notwithstanding you have so often rejected him yet he does not leave you so but does visit you at last and seek after you again Now if this be the Case submit your own Will in this matter to the Divine Will a Sacrifice which is of all others next to that of Christ himself the most acceptable unto God * Do you confess 1. That you have not lived so well as you ought nay that you lived ill and that you have often and grievously sinned 2. Is there any particular sin besides or above the rest or are there any sins that lie heavie upon your Conscience so that you need the benefit of a peculiar Absolution 3. Have you any scruple about those things which appertain to Faith or Religion 4. Do you call to mind the past years of your life in the bitterness of your soul 5. Would you wish to feel greater bitterness for them than you are now sensible of and would you be glad if you felt more and are you grieved that you feel no more 6. Do you desire to have your minde enlightned concerning those things which you are ignorant of or which you have forgotten that you may repent of them and does it also repent you that either you do not know them or have forgotten them 7. Do you purpose if you live to judge your self and to take vengeance upon your self for your offences 8. Do you purpose if you live to amend your life and to avoid both the means and the appearances of those sins which you have lived in 9. Do you solemnly promise thus much 10. And do you desire to be freely admonisht of this your promise Do you believe 1. Those matters that are contained in the Articles of the Christian Faith once delivered to the Saints 2. And that you cannot be sav'd unless you do believe them 3. Do you rejoyce and give heartie thanks to God for that you were born in this Faith that you have liv'd in it and that now you shall die in it 4. Do you your self desire and would you have us in your name humbly to beg of God that this Faith in him may not decay in you and especially that it may not fail when you are just at the point of death 5. Do you desire also that the fruit this of your Faith and chiefly of yourFaith in the death of Jesus Christ may not be lost at your death how much soever it may have been lost in your life-time 6. If your sense should fail or if your pain or weakness should bring you to that pass that any expressions should fall from you that are contrarie to Religion or its precepts would you have them be accounted as not spoken by you and do you renounce them as none of yours Do you forgive 1. Those that any manner of way have offended you as freely as you your self would be forgiven 2. And do you desire of God that he also would forgive them 3. And do you forgive them the satisfaction they are bound to make you upon account of those things wherein they have offended you whether in word or deed 4. Will you have thus much signified in your name to those that have offended you that you for your part have forgiven them all their injuries 5. Would you be readie to forgive them if they had done you more and greater mischiefs 6. Would you be glad if you had more enemies to forgive that so God might bestow on you a more plentiful remission of your own sins * 1. IF you your self have offended any others do you beg pardon of them likewise and desire that they may forgive you 2. Whom do you chiefly remember that you have offended and would you have thus much made known to them in your name 3. Forasmuch as no forgiveness is to be hop'd for of sins against the eighth or ninth Commandment of God's Law unless restitution be made are you readie to restore Goods to those whom you have wronged in their Estates and repair the credit of those whom you have injured in their good Name and that without fraud or delay 4. And now at last can you call to mind who these are The Apostles Creed paraphras'd * OLord I believe help thou my unbelief I believe that thou the Father Son and Holy Ghost art one God I believe That of thy unlimited goodness and power thou didst create the Heavens and the Earth That of thy unbounded love thou hast gathered together in one all things in Christ Who was made Flesh and was conceived Was born suffered was crucified Dead buried descended Rose again ascended sitteth Shall return shall reward I believe That by the power and operation of thy holy Spirit thou hast called thy Church out of all the world unto Holiness That in it we are made partakers of all good things and of forgiveness of sins That in it we expect the Resurrection of the Flesh and life everlasting * LOrd I believe O supply thou my want of Faith I believe The affectionate kindness of the Father The saving power of the Almightie The wisdom of the Creator in the preservation government and consummation of the world The great mysterie of Godliness that for us men and for our salvation God was manifested in the flesh even the Lord Jesus the Son of the Father the
Anointed of the Spirit That he was conceived and born to cleanse us from the filthiness of our Conception and Birth That he suffered what we ought to have suffered most unspeakable torments that we might escape them That he was crucified dead and buried that we may not be afraid to undergo the same things for his sake That he descended to that dismal place whither we must have gone that he might wholly excuse us from it That he rose again ascended and sitteth in that place where we had no portion that even we also might inherit it That he shall come to judge the World that he may take us up into his glorie I believe that he is come By his Conception and Birth the Purifier of our Nature By his Suffering on the Cross Death and Burial the Redeemer of our Bodies By his Descent a triumphant Conqueror over Hell and Death By his Resurrection the first Fruits of them that sleep By his Ascension our Forerunner gone to prepare a place for us By his Session at the right hand of God the Intercessor or our Advocate By his second coming to Judgment the Finisher of our Faith Thus Instead of the I behold Destroyer Jesus a Saviour Tormenter A Mediator Accuser An Advocate Slanderer An Intercessor Enslaver A Redeemer Sting of the Serpent Christ the Anointed But I believe also the Quickning and Sanctifying Power of the Holy Ghost A Power that works Inwardly and invisibly openly and outwardly effectually as the Wind that bloweth where it listeth By Reproof by Compunction of the heart by Doctrine by Admonition as an Advocate as the Comforter as a Witness by Diffusion of Charitie by Illumination of Knowledge I believe also The mystical Bodie of this Holy Spirit consisting of those that are called out of the whole world unto belief of the Truth and Holiness of life The mutual fellowship of the members of that Bodie The remission of sins in this present time and the hope of a future Resurrection and of our translation to the life eternal * O Lord give me Faith not such Faith as would make the Law of none effect But such Faith as Works by Love Is powerful in working Overcomes the World And besides a most holy Faith That I may love thee as a Father and fear thee as the Almightie That I may commit my soul unto thee in well-doing as unto a faithful Creator That Christ may be formed in me and that I may be conformed unto his Image That I may give him thanks for those things which he has suffered for me that I may suffer together with him that I may suffer for him whatsoever he shall see good That for his Cross Death and Burial I may revenge crucifie kill burie my sins which caused all these That for his descent into Hell I may descend thither whilst I live here by frequent meditations upon it That I may be made conformable to his Resurrection by my rising again to newness of life And to his Ascension by meditating upon and seeking after those things that are above That I may be also mindful of his Session at Gods right hand whensoever I want any gift of heavenly consolation and as often as I am cold in my Devotions And that I may never forget his second coming at the day of Judgment O that I may alwaies think I hear the noise of the last Trumpet sounding and that I may pray without ceasing till I am placed at the right hand Amen Preparatory Meditations for Death O Lord quicken and comfort my soul for I have sinned against thee Lord I call to mind all the years of my life past in the bitterness of my soul for my sin My misdeeds have prevailed against me O be thou merciful unto my sin O for thy Names sake be merciful unto my sin for it is great Amen Namely and especially O Lord be merciful unto me c. Herein O Lord be merciful unto thy servant O Lord lay not these nor the rest unto my charge O let the depth of my sin call up the depth of thy mercies of thy grace Lord let it come that where my sin hath abounded grace may superabound Lord I believe help thou my unbelief O Lord though thou kill me yet will I put my trust in thee Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death yet will I fear no evil For I hope verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living O let this Cup pass from me nevertheless if it may not pass from me but that I must drink of it thy will be done Thou art the Lord do what seemeth good in thine own eyes For I will take it as the Cup of Salvation and give thanks to thy Name O Lord. O Lord grant that all the daies of my appointed time upon earth I may wait when my changing shall come O that thou wouldst hide me in the grave and keep me secret until thy wrath be past and appoint me a time in which thou wilt remember me Say unto my soul O say it now I am thy Salvation Command my spirit whenever thou wilt command it to be received up to thee in peace O bid me come unto thee say unto me This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise Lord thus and now let thy servant depart in peace that mine eyes may see thy Salvation O Lord thou blessed Trinitie three Persons and one God have mercie upon me I commend my self into thy hands as to a faithful Creator Lord receive thine own Creature not made by any strange God but by thee the onely living and true God Despise not O Lord the work of thine own hands I am created to thine own Image and likeness O suffer not thine own Image to be defaced but renew it again in righteousness and true holiness I commend my self into thy hands as to a most gracious Redeemer for thou hast redeemed me O Lord God of Truth O Lord I am the price of thy Bloud of thy most precious Bloud O suffer not so great so unvaluable a price to perish O Lord thou camest down from Heaven to redeem that which was lost suffer not that to be lost which thou hast redeemed I commend my self into thy hands as to my most blessed Comforter O Lord I am wearie and heavie laden and I come to thee to be refreshed by thee Behold O Lord I have been the Temple of thy holy Spirit I have I confess strangely polluted it yet destroy me not but dedicate me anew and sanctifie me to thy self yet once again O Lord I wear thy Name 't is thy Name that is called upon me For thy Names sake therefore be merciful unto me O spare Lord if not me yet thine own Name in me And do not so remember my sin O Lord do not as that in remembring it thou forget thine own Name I have desired to fear thy Name to love and to honour thy Name
