Teach me, O Lord to number my dayes that I may apply my heart unto wisdom; ever to remember my last end, that I may not dare to sin against thee: Let thy holy Angels be ever present with me to keep me in all my wayes from the malice and violence of the spirits of darknesse; from evil company, and the occasions and opportunities of evil, from perishing in popular judgements, from all the

wayes of sinful shame, from the hands of all mine enemies; from a sinful life, and from de∣spair in the day of my death: Then, O brightest Jesu, shine gloriously upon me, let thy mercies and the light of thy Countenance sustain me in all my agonies, weaknesses and temptations. Give me opportunity of a prudent and spiritu∣al Guide, and of receiving the holy Sacrament; & let thy loving spirit so guide me in the wayes of peace and safety, that with the testimony of a good conscience, and the sense of thy mer∣cies and refreshment, I may depart this life in the unity of the Church, in the love of God, and a certain hope of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and most blessed Saviour. Amen.

Our Father, &c.
