A Meditation upon the ascension of our Blessed Saviour, and a Prayer for Sanctity, that we may ascend where he is.
THe earth is the Lords, and all that therein is: the compasse of the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it up∣on the seas: and prepared it upon the flouds.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rise up in his holy place?
4 Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: and that hath not life up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord: and righteousnesse from the God of his salva∣tion.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him: even of them that seek thy face, O Iacob.
7 Life up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up ye everlasting doores: and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is the King of glory: it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in bat∣tell.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up ye everlasting doores: and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is the King of glory: even the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
O Blessed Iesu, King of glory, Lord of Hosts, and King of all the Creatures, to whom the everlasting doores were opened, that thou mightest enter into thy Kingdome, which thou didst open to all believers, after thou hadst over∣come
the sharpnesse of death: give us clean hands and a pure heart: teach us to follow thy inno∣cency, to imitate thy sanctity, that we may re∣ceive from thee our Lord the eternall rewards and blessings of righteousnesse, and ascend thither whither thou, ô God of our salvation, art gone be∣fore, who livest and raignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost eternall God world without end. Amen.
