A Benediction of Water to expel the Devil and all his Works.
The EXORCISM.

I Exorcise thee, O Water, by the four Ri∣vers that watered Paradise, by him that purified Nahman from his Leprosie; I exor∣cise thee by him that turned water into Wine; I exorcise thee by all the Sacraments of the Holy Church; I exorcise thee by the Virgin Mary and the Milk of the same Virgin, and by all the Angels, Archangels, &c. that thou mayst become holy and healthful, and a burn∣ing fire, to destroy the Devil and all his works, and all the snares of Satan, &c.
