O Christe, clothe me with thine owne selfe, that I may be so farre from making prouision for the flesh to fulfill the lustes ther∣of,

Page 137

that I may cleane put off all de∣sires, and crucifie the kingdome of the flesh in me. Be thou vnto me a garment to keepe me warme, and to defend me from y^e cold of this world. If thou be absent (deare Lorde) all things are colde, weake, and deade: but if thou be with me, all things are warme, fresh, and chearefull, &c. Graunt therefore, that as I com∣passe this my bodie with this gar∣ment: so thou wouldest cloth me wholy (but specially my soule) with thine owne selfe.

Put vpon you, as the elect of God, bowels of mercie, meekenesse, loue, peace, &c. Col 3.
