BLessed Jesus, now that thou hast sanctified and exalted Humane nature, and made even my Body precious by a personal uniting it to the Divinity, teach me so reverently to ac∣count of it, that I may not dare to prophane it with impure lusts or caitive affections, and un∣hallow that ground where thy holy feet have troden. Give to me ardent desires, and efficaci∣ous prosecutions of these holy effects which thou didst design for us in thy Nativity, and other parts of our Redemption: give me great confidence in thee, which thou hast encouraged by the exhibition of so glorious favours; great sorrow and confusion of face at the sight of mine own imperfections, and estrangements, and great distances from thee, and the perfections of thy Soul; and bring me to thee by the strictnesses of a Zealous and affectionate imitation of those Sanctities which, next to the hypostatical Union, added lustre and excellency to thy Hu∣manity, that I may live here with thee in the expresses of a holy life, and die with thee by mortification and an unwearied patience, and reign with thee in immortal glories world without end. Amen.
