O Lord God almighty, most gra∣cious and merciful Father, will all Humility, Faith and Thank∣fulness, I receive and embrace this Absolution, as pronounced upon my Repentance from the Throne of thy Eternal Glory. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen, Amen.
Here then I have laid down my burden and fear, the stain and dis∣quiet of my life; by name, my An∣ger, Lust, Pride, Envy, Covetous∣ness,
and the rest of my grievous sins, never, never, to take them up again. Blessed be God for this salva∣tion.
Most holy Father, assist and for∣ward the Vows and Resolutions of the meanest of all that serve thee.
Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat, saith S. Paul. I thought on my wayes, and turned my feet un∣to thy testimonies: I made haste, and prolonged not the time to keep thy commandments, saith king Da∣vid.
I look for the Lord: in his word is my trust: in the Lords word will I comfort me. Psal. 56.10. My soul longeth for thy salvation. Psal. 119.81▪ I here humbly wait for the Grace and Benefits of my dying Sa∣viours Institution and Legacy, for the Precious Treasure of Heaven.
Visit me O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people▪ that I may see the felicity of thy cho∣sen,
and give Thanks with thine In∣heritance.
The Lord pardon me, and every one that prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, though he be not cleansed according to the Purification of the Sanctuary; though he fall short of the frame and disposition due to this holy and tremendous Mystery. 2 Chron. c. 30.18.19.
I come to a known Altar. This Sacrament hath often corrected, re∣stored and comforted me. Thy Be∣nediction, holy Father, is always ready, thy hands ever open to the sincere and humble Client: and I now pray for thy wonted Goodness, through Jesus Christ, the sum and substance of this Office.
