II.

INto thy hands most blessed Jesu, I commend my soul and body, for thou hast redeemed both with thy most precious blood. So blesse and sanctifie my sleep unto me, that it may be temperate, holy, and safe, a refreshment to my wearied body to enable it so to serve my soul, that both may serve thee with a never failing duty. O let me never sleep in sin or death eter∣nal, but give me a watchful & a prudent spirit, that I may omit no oportunity of serving thee, that whether I sleep or wake, live or die, I may be thy servant and thy childe: that when the work of my life is done, I may rest in the bo∣som of my Lord, till by the voice of the Arch∣angel, the trump of God, I shall be awakened and called to sit down and feast in the eternal supper of the Lamb. Grant this O Lamb of God, for the honour of thy mercies and the glory of thy name, O most merciful Saviour and Re∣deemer Jesus. Amen.
