Ejaculations to be used any time that day, after the solemnity is ended.

Lord, if I had lived innocently, I could not have deserved to receive the crumbs that fall from thy Table: How great is thy mercy who hast feasted me with the Bread of Virgins, with the Wine of Angels, with Manna from Heaven!

O when shall I passe from this dark glasse, from this vail of Sacraments, to the vision of thy eternal clarity, from eating thy Body, to beholding thy face in thy eternal Kingdom!

Let not my sins crucifie the Lord of life again: Let it never be said concerning me, the hand of him that betraieth me is with me on the Table.

O that I might love thee, as well as ever any crea∣ture lov d thee! Let me think nothing but thee, desire nothing but thee, enjoy nothing but thee!

O Jesus be a Jesus unto me. Thou art all things unto me. Let nothing ever please me but what favours of thee, and thy miraculous sweetnesse.

Blessed be the mercies of our Lord, who of God is made unto me Wisdom, and Righteousnesse, and Sanctification, and Redemption.

He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Amen.
