here_o here_o o_o my_o god_n it_o be_v where_o my_o soul_n hunger_a and_o thirst_v after_o thy_o favour_n find_v wherewithal_o to_o free_v &_o refresh_v herself_o this_o body_n crucify_v be_v my_o true_a restority_n and_o this_o blood_n spill_v and_o shed_v on_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o liquor_n wherewith_o my_o soul_n fill_v herself_o with_o unspeakable_a joy_n and_o here_o it_o be_v where_o thy_o goodness_n be_v so_o great_a so_o infinite_a to_o all_o mankind_n that_o thou_o invite_v all_o those_o who_o be_v hungry_a and_o thirsty_a jesus_n christ_n himself_o say_v happy_a be_v those_o who_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v o_o then_o let_v my_o soul_n which_o hunger_v &_o thirst_v after_o righteousness_n to_o wit_n that_o righteousness_n wherewith_o thou_o absolve_v and_o iustifie_v sinner_n obtain_v the_o fullness_n and_o refresh_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n then_o depart_v and_o fly_v hence_o from_o i_o all_o my_o doubt_n and_o diffidence_n i_o will_v confirm_v and_o seal_v it_o that_o god_n be_v true_a in_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n for_o shall_v i_o offer_v he_o this_o injury_n to_o doubt_v that_o he_o be_v good_a enough_o to_o pardon_v my_o sin_n and_o merciful_a enough_o to_o have_v compassion_n of_o my_o misery_n if_o i_o behold_v or_o look_v up_o to_o his_o justice_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o be_v appease_v and_o satisfy_v because_o christ_n be_v he_o who_o die_v for_o i_o and_o i_o can_v doubt_v that_o this_o death_n shall_v be_v object_v or_o approve_a against_o i_o because_o jesus_n christ_n become_v pledge_v &_o defender_n of_o all_o those_o who_o with_o repentant_a and_o contrite_a heart_n have_v recourse_n to_o he_o to_o who_o therefore_o shall_v i_o run_v or_o fly_v but_o to_o he_o and_o why_o shall_v i_o not_o repent_v i_o to_o have_v offend_v thou_o in_o that_o thou_o be_v so_o gracious_a &_o merciful_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o i_o see_v sin_n be_v so_o execrable_a that_o only_o thou_o own_o son_n must_v of_o necessity_n die_v to_o expiate_v it_o and_o if_o my_o repentance_n be_v defective_a and_o my_o faith_n infirm_a and_o weak_a i_o will_v represent_v and_o show_v thou_o that_o which_o thou_o thyself_o have_v say_v that_o thou_o will_v not_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n &_o i_o will_v say_v as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o gospel_n i_o believe_v therefore_o o_o lord_n help_v my_o unbelief_n it_o be_v not_o for_o my_o repentance_n and_o faith_n to_o give_v but_o to_o receive_v salvation_n the_o which_o be_v already_o purchase_v and_o deserve_v by_o thy_o son_n christ_n jesus_n we_o refuse_v not_o a_o rich_a gift_n either_o from_o a_o poor_a person_n or_o a_o tremble_a hand_n therefore_o o_o lord_n

until_o i_o be_o transform_v into_o the_o image_n of_o this_o thy_o own_o love_n and_o that_o i_o become_v all_o love_n towards_o thou_o that_o i_o live_v no_o long_o to_o myself_o but_o that_o thy_o christ_n may_v live_v in_o i_o through_o the_o love_n of_o thy_o divine_a goodness_n &_o beauty_n and_o that_o i_o may_v embrace_v and_o retain_v no_o other_o desire_n but_o for_o thou_o and_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o thou_o have_v transfer_v and_o give_v i_o by_o thy_o bless_a son_n christ_n jesus_n o_o let_v i_o behold_v sin_n no_o more_o but_o with_o horror_n and_o

or_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n but_o that_o i_o may_v crucify_v my_o flesh_n with_o all_o the_o sinful_a lust_n thereof_o and_o that_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o i_o come_v now_o from_o receive_v may_v be_v the_o example_n and_o portrait_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o my_o continual_a lesson_n tend_v and_o work_v to_o the_o true_a mortification_n of_o sin_n in_o i_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v bruise_v and_o break_v and_o leave_v without_o strength_n or_o life_n as_o be_v the_o bless_a body_n of_o my_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n who_o die_v on_o the_o cross_n for_o i_o and_o that_o also_o conformable_o to_o his_o resurrection_n i_o may_v henceforth_o live_v a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a life_n still_o seek_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o and_o not_o those_o which_o be_v below_o on_o earth_n and_o indeed_o o_o lord_n by_o this_o thy_o holy_a sacrament_n i_o see_v that_o i_o be_o unite_v &_o incorporate_v to_o thy_o son_n christ_n and_o that_o i_o be_o

absolute_a and_o free_a deliverance_n from_o god_n heavy_a curse_n and_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o indignation_n whereby_o i_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n esteem_v and_o chearish_v i_o as_o his_o own_o body_n aswell_o to_o preserve_v i_o from_o all_o evil_n as_o to_o bestow_v on_o i_o all_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v on_o this_o same_o subject_n that_o no_o man_n ever_o hate_v his_o own_o flesh_n but_o do_v nourish_v and_o cherish_v it_o as_o god_n do_v his_o church_n so_o then_o let_v satan_n practice_v all_o his_o power_n and_o
