Commendamus tibi.

WE commend to thee o Lord, the soule of thy servant. N. and be∣seech thee O Lord Jesus Christ Sa∣viour of the world, that as thou hast vouchsafed most mercifully to des∣cend from heaven for it, so thou wilt not refuse to place it in the bo∣some of the Patriarches. Acknow∣ledge O Lord, thy creature, who was not created by any strange Gods, but by thee, the only true and li∣ving God. For as there is no God like thee; so there are no workes like thyne O Lorde make his soule rejoyce in thy presence; and remem∣ber not his old sinnes and excesses, which the heate, or fury of his inor∣denate desires have caused him to committ, for although he hath trans∣gressed, yet he hath not denyed the Father, sonne and holy ghost, but beleeud and reteynd a zeale for thy glory, and faithfully adord thee,

the God and Creator of all things.
