O Daughter, seeing thy selfe in this extremitie, prepare thy soule for God; so order and dispose here in thy life time of thy goods tem∣porall, that after thy death no difference nor debate may arise. It is most profita∣ble for thee to dispose of thy goods in thy life time, and to redeeme thy sins, whilest thou livest, with works of mercie. Whatsoever thou wouldest recommend to o∣thers to doe for thee, labour
to doe it of thy selfe. For if after death thou go to eter∣nall torment, the Provision of a Will, a pompous Fune∣rall, Almes and Doales after death, what will these availe thee, when thou art damned? Offer these Oblations to me now whilest thou art living, that thou mayest not onely be delivered from thy sins, but by increasing in my grace, never fall into damna∣tion, but by my preventing grace preserving thee from sin, persevere in good works even to the end. When death draweth neare, see that thou wholly free thy selfe then from all unnecessarie cares and imployments, strive to meet me immaculately, affe∣ctionately, faithfully, pro∣mising
nor presuming no∣thing of thy works, but through my assured mercie to obtaine Salvation: And in this faith committing and commending thy selfe, and all thou hast in this world, to my providence and good pleasure, receive the Sacraments humbly and devoutly. Those peculiar priviledges and graces al∣so, which have power in them through my merits, and are given by mee as a treasure unto the Church (albeit many oft∣times abuse them, as they do other most holy things) if thou canst have them, cause them to be applyed unto thee. For even this, verie holy persons of both sexes,
and famous for their mira∣cles, have formerly done.
