| Session at the Right hand of Thee the Father, |

humbly beseech Thee, that we, receiving a part of Thy Holie Mysteries with a pure testimonie of our Conscience, may be united to the Holie Bodie and Blood of Thy Christ.
"Let me so receive these Mysteries, that I may be worthie to be

ingraffed into Thy Bo∣die, which is the Church; That I may become one of Thy Members, and Thou my Head; That I may remain with Thee, and Thou with me; That now, not I in myself, but Thou in me, and I in Thee, May for ever conti∣nue in an indissoluble bond of Love. Wash out the stains of my old & fresh sins; Never let any sinful spot abide, where so

pure Sacraments have ent'red. Through this Sacred Mysterie which I here call to mind, Burie me, already dead to this world, with Thee in Thy Grave."* 1.1
And receiving this Sa∣crament, not unworthily, let us procure Christs dwelling in our hearts, Epbes. 3. 17. and be made a Temple of Thy Holie Spirit, 1 Cor. 6. 19. Even so, O Lord.
And make not any one of us guiltie of these
Page 232
Thy dreadful and beavenlie Mysteries; nor weak in Soul or Bodie, by our unworthie partaking of the same 1 Corin. 11.27, 29, 30.
But grant that, to our utmost and last gasp, we may worthily receive the hope of these Thy Myste∣ries,

| Illumination, | |
| Strength'ning; |
To the eas of the bur∣then of our many sins;
As a Preservative a∣gainst all the assaults of the Devil;
As a Deleterie & Impe∣diment of our evil Cu∣stoms;

| For the | Mortification of our lusts; |
| Keeping of Thy Commandments; | |
| Increas of Thy Di∣vine Grace, and | |
| Possession of Thy Kingdom. |
