The Jubile of the Penitent Soul after the sense of Pardon ob∣tained.
REjoyce over me, O God the Father; that this thy Child was lost, but is found, was dead, but is alive again.
Rejoyce over me, O God the Son, that thy loud Cries and Tears, and bit∣ter Agonies which for my sake thou en∣duredst upon the Cross, were •…•…ot so un∣happily lost, as to be cast away in vain upon me.
Rejoyce over me, O God the Holy Ghost, that thy so many secret and powerful touches have at last got the upper hand of me.
Rejoyce over me, O ye holy Angels, a great part of whose Ministery it is, to rejoyce at the Conversion of a Sinner.
Rejoyce over thy self, O my Soul, that thou hast received so much grace from Heaven this day, as sadly to confess thy Sins, seriously to repent of them, and sted∣fastly to resolve never to be guilty more of so much bruitishness, as to be likened to the Dog that returns to his Vomit, or to the Swine wallowing in the Mire.
