to commemorate thy unspeakable Love in accomplishing the work of my Redemption by a most Shameful and Bitter Death I come to renounce and cast off my Sins and Transgressions and to renew my Baptismal Covenant which I have often and perversly broken O do thou for thy Mercy sake accept me though an unworthy Guest Enter not into Judgment with thy Servant for in thy Sight shall no Man living be justified If thou Lord should'st be extreme to mark what I have done amiss I must suffer all the Vials of thy Wrath I must undergo all the Curses of thy Law I must stand expos'd to all the Judgments and Terrors of this Life and to the intolerable Torments of Hell in another So far should I be in this Case from receiving any manner of Advantage from these Holy Mysteries that I should eat and drink my own Damnation Miserable wretched Creature that I am that I should so eagerly pursue the Paths that lead to Death and Misery that I should so continually offend thee my most tender and indulgent Father that I should trample under foot the Son of God and repay that wonderful Love and those unknown Sufferings of His on my behalf with those Sins which at first Crucified him and still continue to Crucifie him afresh and put him to an open Shame that I should grieve that good Spirit of God which so earnestly wooes and entreats to accept of Life and Salvation that I should be guilty of so much Pride Hypocrisie Indevotion and Deadness in my Prayers of so much Injustice Passion and Malice of so much Impenitency Uncleanness Intemperance c. Here reckon up the particular Sins thou hast been guilty of whereby I have wickedly departed from Thee the Lord of Life and Glory the Fountain and Spring of all Happiness Lord I fly into the Arms of Thy Mercy O save me or I perish Hide me under the Clefts of thy Wounds until thy Father's Indignation be overpast O thou that delightest not in the Death of a Sinner but rather that he should turn and be saved receive me to thy Favour for the Merits and Satisfaction of my Blessed Redeemer in whom alone thou art well pleased His Blood was shed to make Atonement for my Sins His Body was bruised and beaten with Stripes that thro' them I might be healed Lord grant that in this Blessed Sacrament I may effectually receive these Benefits of his Death and Passion grant that I may have my Pardon seal'd my Weakness repair'd my Graces strengthen'd and my Soul raised to Heaven in Flames of devoutest Affection and Adoration O do thou nourish my Soul by this immortal Food to live the Life of Grace and Holiness and enable it to make some Returns of Love to Thee the infinite Lover of Souls But oh What Returns can be sufficient what Transports of Love and Praise can be enough for Him who died a most painful and ignominious Death to deliver us from inevitable Ruin and Misery when we were his bitter Enemies and at open Defiance and Rebellion against him Oh the Riches of thy Goodness how unutterable are thy Mercies and how unconceivable is thy Love Grant I pray thee that tho' I am utterly unable to make a true estimation thereof yet I may love Thee to the utmost capacity of a frail Creature and shew it by living in all holy Obedience and Conformity to thy Laws and Precepts Grant that I may always desire and endeavour to please thee and be very tender and fearful of offending Thee keeping a strict Watch over my Heart and Ways that no Temptations prevail against me or make me fall from my own Stedfastness But that being effectually Sanctified here I may in the end be eternally Blest in the Kingdom of Glory Lord pity and commiserate my Frailty and graciously supply all my Wants and Necessities for thy Mercy and Compassion's sake Amen Our Father c. Now repair to the Communion-Table and being placed conveniently lift up your Heart towards Heaven and say O Lamb of God that didst offer thy self a Sacrifice for the Sins of the whole World have Mercy upon me miserable Sinner I am here ready to renew the Covenant I made with thee in Baptism and once more to take those solemn Engagements upon my self O do thou give me the Assistance of thy Grace and Holy Spirit that I may be enabled to perform them that I may henceforth renounce the Devil and all his Works all the Pomps and Vanities of the World and the sinful Lusts of the Flesh that I may stedfastly persist in the true Faith of thy most Holy Religion and live in sincere Obedience to thy Laws all the Days of my Life Amen Just before Receiving a Prayer GRant O Lord I beseech thee that the Wine that makes glad and the Bread of Life may infuse new Strength and Vigour into my Soul and into the Souls of all that Communicate with me that we may daily grow in Grace and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that according to his Command we may be united in Holy Love and Fellowship with one another and with the Church of God and at last obtain that glorious Fellowship with thy self in Heaven which thou hast promised to all that love and fear thee through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen When you receive the Bread say GRant me Blessed Lord so to eat the Flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ and so to drink his Blood that my sinful Body may be made clean by his most holy Body and my Soul washt in his most precious Blood that I may evermore dwell in him and he in me Amen After you have received the Bread say O That the Bread which I have now eaten may be the Bread which came down from Heaven and gives Life unto the World O that I may now feel ●s Efficacy inflaming my Soul with the Heavenly Ardours of Divine Love having all my Affections fet on things Above and not on things Below May this Bread be to my Soul the staff of Strength whereby I may vanquish all the Assaults of the Devil the World and the Flesh and continue my Lord 's faithful Servant to my Life's end Amen At the receiving the Cup say THe Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ which was shed for me preserve my Body and Soul unto Everlasting Life I drink this in Remembrance that Christ's Blood was shed for me and am thankful After you have received the Cup say O That this precious Blood of my dear Redeemer may be now both the Purification and Nourishment of my Soul the Seal of my Pardon and Peace with God and the Pledge of mine Inheritance in Heaven Amen Then return to your Pew or Seat and say on your Knees this Thanksgiving after the Sacrament BLessing Honour and Glory be given to thee O Lord for thy Love this Day discover'd to me and for all the Benefits receiv'd at thy Table What is Man that thou art
