O Most sweet Lord JESU, trans∣pierce the mar∣row and bow∣els of my soule, with the most sweet and wholesome wound of thy love; with cleare, sincere, and most holy Apostolicall Charity, that my soule may languish, and melt alwayes with the onely love and de∣sire of thee; Let her long and faint af••er thy Courts; Let her desire to be dissolved, and to be with thee. Grant, that my
soule may hunger after thee, the bread of Angels, the re∣past of holy soules, our dayly bread, super-substantiall, ha∣ving all pleasantnesse of taste, and all delight of sweetnesse: May mine heart alwayes hunger and feed on thee, on whom the Angels desire to looke, and with the sweet∣nesse of thy taste, let the bowels of my soule be filled: May shee alwayes thirst after thee, the fountaine of life, the fountaine of Wisdome and Knowledge, the foun∣taine of eternall Light, the streame of pleasure, the ful∣nesse of the house of God: May shee alwayes looke a∣bout for thee, seeke thee, finde thee, draw towards thee, come to thee, meditate
of thee, converse with thee, & doe all things to the praise and glory of thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delectation, with facility and affection, with perseverance to my dissolution: And bee thou alwayes my onely hope, my whole trust, my riches, my de∣light, my joy, my gladnesse, my quiet and tranquillity, my peace, my sweetnesse, my per∣fume, my solace, my meat, my repast, my refuge, my succour, my wisdom, my portion, my possession, my treasure, wher∣in my mind and mine heart may be alwayes fixed, groun∣ded, and unmoveably roo∣ted. Amen.
