An Excellent and very pretious exercise of a very devout and penitent soule passionatly affected to the solace of soules abandoned in the flames of purgatory augmented with the dolors of the B. Virg. and the prayers of the holy sindon to deliver a soule out of purgatory.

FOR VVENESDAY.

Oblation of the first torments which Iesus did suffer in the morning on the day of his pas∣sion.

1. I offer unto the ô most sweet Iesus forthe soules of Purgatory the paine which was caused un∣to thee by those three accusati∣ons as infamous as false; which the Princes of the Jewes did lay to thy charge in the presence of Pilate: to witt that were à sedu∣cer of the world; that thou had∣dest forbidden to pay tribute to cesar and thou didest vaunt thy selfe, to be kind of the Jewes.

2. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Purgatory thot most profund humility

letting thy selfe be lead as one without might or prower, all appressed with chaines and lo∣aden with durt through the streets to be presented to herod unto whose demands for Good reasons, thou sayd not one word where upon that proud king tooke occasion to hold thee in contempt and to scorne and deride thee ô Iesus.

3. I offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, that great disdaine and horrible contempt which that wicked king made of thy person euer adorable, whome he cau∣sed to be cast on thy sacred schoulders, a white roabe; but most base, torne, and filthy.

Proper for the cloathing of à foole; and allso like such and one wert thou made the mocke and scoff of both king and the whole court.

4. I offer unto thee ô mostsweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, all those infamous bea∣tings and scoffs, which all those people spitting in thy face, see∣ing the great contempt Herod had made of thy person making thee be led back like a man without sence or feeling to thee president Pilate; where during that sad and painfull way, thou were à new loaden, both with stones and mire.

5. J offer unto the ô most sweet Iesus for the soule in Pur∣gatory,

all those frightfull cryes which those cruell sacrilegous men did make, demanding that thou shouldest be crucifyed, and the thiefe and murder Barrabas sett att liberty; crucifige, cruci∣fige did they cry with most di∣uelish fury.

6. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, all thee stepps which thou didst make when trailed to the place of malefactours, there to be most cruelly rent and tor∣ne in pieces from the sol of the foot to the crowne of the head, by rodds, by chaines, by the sinews of oxen and the hands of most hellish butchers, ô Iesus

7. J offer unto thee ô most

sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, that great bashfullness, and the excessiue dolour which thou diddst feele; when they stripped thee of thy garments, and sett thee naked before all the people, where they bound the to à dreadfull pillar so cru∣elly as that thy pretious hands, did cleaue and spring forth blood.

8. I offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, all those horrid strokes of whipps and scourges, which those cruell hangmen like bar∣barous tirants. did forge with strength of arme, and euen till they weare breathless, more fleshed theu doggs on theyr

pray, discharged like haile sto∣nes ouer all the parts of thy most pretious and venerable body; which in à moment was seen, all couered ouer, both with bloud and woundes.

9. I offer unto the ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, all those dolorous and brussed wounds, which seemed à horrour to be all as one wound so much wert thou all ouer co∣uered and pittifully treated, that thy wounds were layed and heaped one upon an other ô Iesus.

10. I offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules of Pur∣gatory the unsuppoortable ex∣cess of that dreadfull Barbari∣ousnes,

then when unbound from the Pillar thou didest fall downe into thy owne bloud, where those sacrilegious men, more cruell then Tyres, did kiek and spurne thee with theyr feet; dropp of thy bloud; did lay on furyously new blows on those parts which the Pillar had à little defended.

11. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, the langours of thy most amiable Mother then when with eyes halfe open, and head halfe bowed dowe, she beheld thee so barbarosly crowned, and so inhumanly rent, and totne in piecs; that thou resemblest rather à mass or lump of fleash

all covered with bloud, then like à man.
