PArdon, O God, in whatsoever I have
offended thee by meat and drink and
pleasures; and never let my body any
more be oppressed with loads of sloth
and delicacies, or my Soul drowned in
Seas of wine or strong drink: but let
my appetites be changed into spiritual
desires, that I may hunger after the food
of Angels, and thirst for the wine of elect
Souls, and may account it meat and
drink and pleasure to do thy will, O God.
Lord, let me eat and drink so, that my
food may not become a temptation, or
a sin, or a disease; but grant that
with so much caution and prudence I
may watch over my appetite, that I may
in the strength of thy mercies and re∣freshments,
in the light of thy counte∣nance,
and in the paths of thy Com∣mandments,
walk before thee all the
days of my life acceptable ot thee in
descriptionPage 123
Jesus Christ, ever advancing his honour,
and being filled with his Spirit, that I
may at last partake of his glory, through
the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
