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.

A Prayer to be said when the sick man takes Physick.

O Most blessed and eternall Jesus, thou who art the great Physician of our souls, and the Sun of righteousnesse arising with healing in thy wings; to thee is given by thy heavenly Father the Government of all the world, and thou disposest every great and lit∣tle accident to thy Fathers honour, and to the good and comfort of them that love and serve thee: Be pleased to blesse the ministery of thy servant in order to my ease and health, direct his judgement, prosper the medicines, and dispose the chances of my sicknesse fortunate∣ly, that I may feel the blessing and loving kindnesse of the Lord, in the ease of my pain, and the restitution of my health; that I being restored to the society of the living, and to thy solemn Assemblies, may praise thee and thy goodnesse secretly among the faithfull, and in the Congregation of thy redeemed ones, here in the outer-courts of the Lord, and hereafter in thy eternall temple for ever and ever. Amen.
