Communion.
HAile, O most holy flesh
and bloud of Christ,
wherereof I am made parta∣ker
in these visible Elements.
Haile O thou highest sweet∣nesse,
who knowest no lo∣sing,
takest away all loathing,
destroyest death, restorest
life. Haile thou blessed
food, which leadest thine
Elect from the exile of this
World to their Country.
Haile thou happy Sacrifice,
which art offered upon the

Altar of the Crosse, to God

burden of our sinnes. Haile
thou Manna more white
than snow, more sweet than
honey, more precious than
all gold. Take from mee,

mine iniquities: that
with a purified heart and
spirit, I may deserve to taste
these Holy of holiest. Let this
venerable Sacrament bee an
impregnable Safeguard to
mee against the deceits of
the enemy: that fed with
this wholesome Viand, I
may passe the slippery wayes
of this life, in a blamelesse
conversation, and come un∣to
thee, the Bread of life,
and the true Lord of An∣gels,
without any hinde∣rance

mee, bee pacified with mee,
attend mee, and tarry not
from mee, O my God, for
thy goodnesse sake. For
none can bee worthy of so
great a mystery, unlesse thou,
ô Omnipotent God, make
him worthy, Amen.
