Aspirations.

O Word incarnate, to whom all just tongues speak, and after whom all hearts do thirst and languish; chase from us all prating devils, and also those which are dumb: the first provoke and loose the tongue to speak wickedly, and the other bind it when it should confess the truth. O peace-ma∣king Solomon, appease the divisions of my heart, and unite all my powers to the love of thy service. De∣stroy in me all the marks of Satans Empire, and plant there thy Trophees and Standards, that my spirit be never like those devils which seek for rest, but shall never find it. Make me preserve inviolable the house of my conscience, which thou hast cleansed by repen∣tance, and clothed with thy graces: that I may have perseverance to the end without relapses, and so obtain happiness without more need of repentance.
