confession_n o_o almighty_a god_n who_o nature_n and_o property_n be_v always_o to_o have_v mercy_n and_o to_o forgive_v receive_v these_o my_o humble_a petition_n make_v unto_o thou_o at_o this_o time_n and_o though_o i_o be_v tie_v and_o bind_v by_o the_o chain_n of_o my_o sin_n yet_o let_v the_o pittifulness_n of_o thy_o great_a mercy_n loose_v they_o through_o jesus_n christ_n my_o only_a lord_n and_o saviour_n amen_n a_o prayer_n for_o faith_n o_o almighty_a god_n who_o nature_n be_v above_o our_o reach_n and_o who_o secret_a operation_n no_o humane_a reason_n can_v conceive_v give_v i_o that_o faith_n without_o which_o no_o man_n can_v know_v thou_o and_o without_o which_o no_o soul_n can_v please_v thou_o lord_n i_o believe_v but_o to_o believe_v unto_o righteousness_n o_o god_n increase_v my_o faith_n concern_v the_o great_a sacrament_n of_o thy_o precious_a body_n and_o blood_n i_o believe_v that_o in_o the_o same_o night_n that_o thou_o o_o lord_n jesus_n waste_v betray_v thou_o do_v give_v to_o thy_o disciple_n bread_n and_o wine_n which_o thou_o do_v call_v thy_o body_n and_o blood_n with_o a_o charge_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o do_v the_o same_o in_o

thy_o bitter_a death_n and_o bloody_a passion_n lest_o i_o shall_v forget_v thou_o who_o waste_v ready_a to_o lay_v down_o thy_o life_n for_o i_o who_o be_o the_o worst_a and_o vile_a of_o sinner_n ii_o therefore_o i_o take_v these_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o holy_a sign_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o blood_n believe_v that_o though_o they_o remain_v after_o the_o consecration_n in_o their_o substance_n both_o bread_n and_o wine_n yet_o they_o be_v more_o than_o common_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v make_v by_o prayer_n and_o thy_o holy_a word_n the_o figure_n of_o thy_o flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o in_o the_o action_n and_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v real_o and_o effectual_o take_v by_o the_o faithful_a so_o though_o i_o feel_v and_o taste_v bread_n and_o wine_n yet_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n i_o eat_v thy_o body_n and_o drink_v thy_o blood_n in_o remembrance_n that_o thou_o do_v die_v for_o i_o and_o for_o all_o mankind_n iii_o o_o then_o let_v the_o operation_n of_o thy_o bless_a spirit_n apply_v to_o my_o soul_n the_o merit_n of_o thy_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o o_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o let_v i_o love_v and_o die_v in_o this_o faith_n and_o never_o be_v ashamed_a to_o confess_v thy_o holy_a name_n who_o have_v suffer_v such_o a_o ignominious_a death_n for_o my_o redemption_n o_o let_v my_o soul_n live_v and_o it_o shall_v praise_v
