VI. MEDITATION.
The preparatory Prayer.
Actiones nostras, &c.
FIRST POINT.
COnsider sinne to be a true
leprosy: for as this infects and
fouly spots the body; so that vitiates
and corruptes euery part of the hart
and soule; and though the act be
past, yet leaues a foule and vgly blot
behind it.
2. Point. Consider further, this
most vgly & foule blot is not wash∣ed

away, but with the bloud of
the only immaculate Lamb: which
neither the sacrifices or ceremonies
of the old Law, nor fasts, nor other
austerities of this kind can wipe
away without the sprinckling of
this bloud: For without bloud, remis∣sion
is not had.a 1.1
3. Point. Consider lastly, that as
heretofore the posts and threshal
of the house being smeared with the
bloud of the Lamb, with held the
sword now drawn and ready to
strike, of the smiting Angel, from
killing them in the house by a death
so studiously preparedb 1.2 so with
this bloud, al hellish power is ex∣pelled,
and restrained, that those
wicked foes of our saluatiō may not
touch the very entrance of our hart,
or dare so much as looke vpon it:
Lastly as the Preistly robes, yea the
Sanctuary it-self was sanctified and
descriptionPage 94
hollowed by the bloud of the Lamb
c 1.3 so beleeue from the bloud of
Christ al sanctimonyd 1.4 deriues
into our minds.
THE COLLOQVY.
LOrd wash me againe, from mine ini∣quities,
and cleanse me from my sinne.a 1.5 Wash the mind, and let al the
clouds of ignorance vanish quite.
Wash the wil, and purge il appetits
conceiu'd from the false nuages of
transitory things: wash the memory,
and wipe away self-loue growing,
from an ouer-weening of my self,
and my own doeings.
Cleanse my feet, hands, eyes,
and tongue, nor let any thing
remaine in me, that is foule and pol∣luted,
or wich may any wayes of∣fend
thy Maiesty, neuer so little.
