In approaching the Holy Sa∣crament.

O Lord with all thanks wee commemorate the saving passions of thy Christ our Saviour.

This life-restoring Crosse, His precious death, His 3. dayes Sepulture, His resurrection, His ascention to heaven And his sitting on thy right hand, His glorious and most Dreadfull returne thence to the last Iudgment.

And wee beseech thee that with the sincere wit∣nesse of our conscience re∣ceiving part of these thy

holy Mysteries wee may be therewithall incorpo∣rated into the sacred body of thy Sonne, and so com∣municating, worthily may dwell in him and he again in us, and be his members as he is our head, and be∣come Temples of his holy Spirit.

And ô good Lord scoure out the staines of my old and fresh sins, and let not such foule spots continue there, where thy pure Sa∣crament shall have entered, but ô Lord make not any of us guilty of these most dreadful and celestial mys∣teries, nor weake or feeble either in Soul or body, for our receiving them un∣worthily.

But grant that to our last gaspe, wee may retaine the hope and comfort of this ever blessed Sacra∣ment of thine.
