The rule and exercises of holy dying in which are described the means and instruments of preparing our selves and others respectively, for a blessed death, and the remedies against the evils and temptations proper to the state of sicknesse : together with prayers and acts of vertue to be used by sick and dying persons, or by others standing in their attendance : to which are added rules for the visitation of the sick and offices proper for that ministery.
Taylor, Jeremy, 1613-1667.

O Holy and most Gracious Saviour Jesus, we humbly recommend the soul of thy servant into thy hands, thy most mercifull hands; let thy Blessed Angels stand in mini∣stery about thy servant, and defend him from the violence and malice of all his ghosly ene∣mies, and drive far from hence all the spirits of darknesse. Amen.
