I. Purity.

I Will wash my Hands in innocency, O Lord, and so will I go to thine Altar; I will come into thine House in the multi∣tude of thy mercies, and in thy fear will I worship, thee toward thy holy Foot-stool. For Christ our Passeover is offered; Let us therefore keep the Feast not with the Leven of malice & wickedness, but with the unlevened Bread of Sincerity and Truth.

The Prayer.

O Lord, cleanse the thoughts of my heart by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that my Body may be made clean by the pure Body of my Saviour Jesus Christ, once offered up∣on the Cross, and that my Soul may be washed by his most precious Bloud there shed for me, and that He may abide with me for ever.

Amen.
