O most gracious and eternal God, the helper of the helplesse, the comforter of the comfortlesse, the hope of the afflicted, the bread of the hun∣gry, the drink of the thirsty, and the Saviour of all them that wait upon thee, I blesse and glorifie thy Name, and adore thy goodnesse, and delight in thy love, that thou hast once more give•• me the opportunity of receiving the greatest favour which I can receive in this World▪ even the body and blood of my dearest Saviour. O take from me all affection to sin or vanity: let not m•• af∣fections dwell below, but soar upwards to the element of love, to the seat of God, to ••he Re∣gions of Glory, and the inheritance of ••esus, that I may hunger and thirst for the bread of life, and the wine of ••lect soules, and may know no loves but the love of God, and the most merciful Jesus. Amen.
