All as in the Office of Saints, except,
1. THis is the Favourite Disciple that lean'd on our Lord's Breast, at his last Supper, and to whom were reveal'd the Secrets of Heaven. Alleluja.
2. This is he in whom meet all those glorious Titles of Apostle, Evangelist, and Prophet, of Martyr, Confessor, and Vir∣gin. Alleluja.
This was he who above all those glori∣ous Titles, delights in this one incompara∣bly greater than them all, The Disciple whom JESUS loved.
V. The scalding Oil could not hurt his chaste Body.
R. Nor Banishment into Pathmos ex∣clude his free converse with Angels.
O GOD, by the Prerogative of whose special Grace, the Blessed Apostle St. John obtain'd that transcendent Cha∣racter of The Beloved of his Master, and after became the great Doctor of mutual Charity over all the World! Grant, we beseech thee, that his Sacred Memory may excite us also, and encourage us to have the same purity of Body and Mind, and steady love of thee, and sincere Charity one for another; and that we may aspire after some share in that blessed Title, and its happy Consequents, thy Grace here, and thy Glory hereafter, through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth and reigneth One God with Thee, and the Holy Ghost World without End. Amen.
