A Prayer at receiving the Holy Sacrament.
O Lord and Heavenly Father, we thy humble Se••••vants beseech thy Fatherly Goodness to loo•• down from Heaven, thy Holy Habitation, th•• Throne of thy Glory, with an Eye of Pitty and Com¦passion upon us thy Servants, let not our Sins hinde•• our Prayers from ascending up unto thee, or preven•• thy Mercies coming down upon us; but come we pray thee, and Sanctifie these Souls and Bodies o•• ours, and make them fit Habitations for thy Holy Spi∣rit to dwell in; and come Sanctifie these thy Crea∣tures, to the end, for which we receive them, that the receiving the Blessed Sacrament may be unto us, for the Conformation of our Faith, for the Strengthning our Hope, and for the Pardoning of all our Sins, and for the increase of all thy Graces in us, that the Pal∣••ate of our Souls may be so changed thereby, that we may relish nothing besides thee; but Hunger and Thirst after this Bread of Life, and Cup of Salvation, till we change this place of Misery, to enjoy thy Pre∣sence in thy Heavenly Kingdom, for ever and ever. Amen.
