ATtend O Lord from thy most sacred dwel∣ing, and from the throne of glory, in thy kingdome and come and hallow it, ô thou which visitest on high with the the Father, and yet invisible art present with us, come neere and consecrate these guifts of thine, and all those both by whom, and for whose sake, and the end also to
which they are consecra∣ted.
And yet that we may so participate of these thy mysteries that they may prove to us according to thy institution.

According to the effects ô Lord let them like seales confirme our pardons to us.

Let them like Conduit∣pipes convey to us the gra∣ces of that most holy Spi∣rit, Hebr. 13. 19. 1 Cor. 12. 13.
