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 THVRSDAY.

Oblation of all the doulours which Iesus suffered in his crow∣ning with thornes.

1. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Purgatory all those dolorous and painfull faintings, which thou didest feele then, when they made thee walke in hasty paces when not withstanding through ex∣cess of à mortall feeblenes thou scarce couldest goe one stepp, through the court of the palla∣ce there to be tormented most tiranically, in à fastion neuer more heard of, or seene.

2. I offer unto thee ô most

sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, that offront which no hart less patient then thine could haue suffered then, when on thy all toren shoulders (not less royall) they cast trough à most disdainfull contempt, à base thridbare torne and filty peece of purple.

3. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, that mortall felony, which might make both hea∣uen and earth tremble through horrour, and the whole world weep through sorrow, when those cruell men (now euen become diuells) did sett, and driue in with armed fists and great stroks of stafes, à crowne

of throns on thy head.

4. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Purgatory al those most pretious dropps of bloud, which rann downe here and there, from thy most vene∣rable and sacred head peirced and peirced through againe on high and below on the side and euery where: thou notwith∣standing all this like à most pea∣ceable and mourning turtle, under those mortall thornes, diddest not cease, ô amiable and little beloued Iesus, in our consideration to exercise inte∣riour acts of fortitude, of loue, and of patience.

3. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory,

that excessive submis∣sion which thou madest appea∣re then when not to refuse to beare all the royall dressings; which Barbarousnes it selfe could invent; thou didest take into thy hand for septer an in∣famous Reed, the marke of in∣constancy.

6. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, the extreame abas∣ment which in this perticular thou madest of thy person in that having under thy power, the Septers, and crownes, and all the estates of the world, thou woldest choose for thy selfe, à reed, and thornes, for scepter and crowne; marke of thy

greatnes the most unfortunatt and unhappy estate.

7. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Purgatory that incomparable patience, which thou haddest att the mockeryes of those hellish peo∣ple, who not content thus to have discharged, all the utter∣most of there Barbarous Tiran∣ny, neyer ceased but scornfully putting out there toungs, and treating thee rudely, cryd out by à horrible mocquery: all hayle king of the Jewes.

8. I offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Purgatory that blush hand bashfullnes and the sorrow which thou didest feele then when the president

made thee to be lead in that sad aquipage most shamefully by the Chaine wayed downe thy neck, to present thee befor thy people; where lifting up one of the skirts of that infamous robe and making thee turne to one side and the other; sayed to all the behoulders, loe the man.

9. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatore the paine which thou didest feele and which cannot well be expressed, then when thou didst heare those unsensi∣ble harts, like heated bulls and incensed Elephants att the sight of thy most pretious bloud, to ery most fiercly, nott willin not able any longer to indure indu∣re

thee Tolle; Tolle: Crucifige, Crucifige.

10. J offer unto thee ô most sweet Iesus for the soules of Purgato∣ry, thos mortall blowes which would haue shaken the strongest constancy, and which thou didst feele then when to satisfy to an inraged fury of abandoned sou∣les, thar perfidious and hellish President, would that thou shouldest dye, and allso of à death which could not haue bin inuented but amoughst those dieulish spiritts.

11. J offer unto the ô most sweet Iesus for the soules in Pur∣gatory, that long and lanqius∣hing martirdome which thy most afflicted mother did suffer then when

following the streets, she be∣held thee to faint, and fall un∣der the weight of thy Cross, and at the same instant, all trembling and staggering, draw∣ne up by the Chaines, and cor∣des. Sett upon thy feete; lea∣ving all the stones, dyed with thy pretious bloud.
