¶ Oremus.

Almighty and everlasting God, we humbly desire thy clemency [here let the peist looke upon the salt] that thou wouldest vouchsafe, through thy piety, to bl✚esse and sanc✚tifie this creature of salt, which thou hast given for the use of mankind, that it may be to all that receive it, health of mind and body; so as whatsoever shall be touched thereby, or sprinkled therewith, may be void of all uncleannesse, and all resistance of spirituall iniquity, through our Lord, Amen.

What can be made but a conjuration of these words also, which are written in the canon, or rather in the saccaring of masse? This holy com∣mixtion of the body and bloud of our Lord Jesus Christ, let it be made to me, and to all the receivers thereof, health of mind and body, and a whole∣some preparative for the deserving & receiving of everlasting life, through our Lord Iesus, Amen.
