Come Lord Iesus, come quickly.

After receiving the consecrated and blessed bread, say,

O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: bles∣sed is the man that trusteth in him. * The beasts do lack and suffer hunger; but they which seek the Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good. Lord what am I, that my Saviour should become my food, that the Son of God should be the meat of Wormes, of dust and ashes, of a sinner, of him that was his enemy? But this thou hast done to me▪ because thou art infinitely good and wonderfully gracious, and lovest to blesse every one of us, in turning us from the evil of our wayes. Enter into me blessed Jesus, let no root of bitter∣nesse spring up in my heart; but be thou Lord of all my faculties. O let me feed on thee by faith, and grow up by the increase of God to a perfect man in Christ Jesus. Amen. Lord I believe, help mine unbelief. Glory be to God the Father, Son, &c.
