A praier to be said at the houre of death.

FAther of heauen in∣to thy handes I doo commend my soule Lorde increase my faith, strengthen my weaknes, fortifie my soule with the Te∣stimonie of thy fauour, against the feare of death, which is dreadfull vnto me. O gratious God, looke not vppon my me∣rits, for they are none: nor vp∣on my life, for it hath been ve∣ry naught and abhominable, but looke vpon Christ thy deer sonne and my louinge Iesus: who beeing slaughtered vpon the altar of the Crosse, crieth vnto thee for me and my bre∣thren:

Father forgiue thē. Thy sonne O Lorde, died to deliuer vs, was bound to lose vs out of hellish Aegypt, that being fre∣ed by him, wee might alwaies and solie serue him. But mercie Lorde, mercie is all my sute: for I haue prophaned his pre∣tious passion by my euill con∣uersation, and done what laie in my power to crucifie him againe: but notwithstanding Lord, thou art alwaies merci∣full and of great pittie: and I beleeue verely, that thy sonnes mercie is not abated, who cri∣ed for the butchering Iewes, Father forgiue them. Louing God therefore burie mine ini∣quities, and accept thy sonnes crie as a satisfaction for my

sinne Lord haue mercie vpon me a sinner, Amen.
