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 heavenAnd his sitting on thy
right hand,His glorious and mostDreadfull 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
descriptionPage 123
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.
descriptionPage 124
But grant that to our
last gaspe, wee may retaine
the hope and comfort of
this ever blessed Sacra∣ment
of thine.
