SHal be directed to IESVS the Spouse. Especially thou shalt yeald him thankes with al thy powers, for choosing thy soule to be his Spouse, for louing it so dea∣rely
hitherto, and endowing it with the espousal guifts. Then shalt thou humbly beseech pardone of him, for hauing so coldly answered to his feruent loue, wherewith he hath so often preuented thee; and sometimes perhaps for breaking thy faith to him so firmly engaged. Lastly by that his loue, wherewith he hath so of ten preuented thee, shalt thou most earnestly beg at his hands, that through his grace thou maist be continually vigilant, and prouided for that last Aduent, which is like to be at mid-nigh, when perhaps thou least suspectest the same; that then thou maist meet him, with thy burning lamp, and with the pru∣dent Virgins enioy him and his nu∣ptial feast for euer.a 1.1
Mat. 25.
