THE PRAYER.
BY the vertue and merits of which crucified Jesus, good Lord, free me from all sin passed, prevent me from sinning hereafter; guid me by thy Grace, confirme me by thy Goodnesse, and leave me not, O leave me not, most gracious Lord, till thou hast brought my soule to my desired haven, thy blisse in heaven, through Jesus Christ my only Saviour and Redeemer: To whom with thee, and the blessed Spirit, three persons, and one God, bee all possible praise and thankesgiving ascribed for prolonging my life, for strengthening my feeble body, for giving me power to end this Work, and for all other favours vouchsafed to me a poore sinner for Christ his sake. Amen, Amen, Amen.
Gloria in excelsis Deo, cum Gratiarum actionibus. Trin-uni, & Ʋni-trino Deo, Sacrum. Malim Deo placere, quàm aliis omnibus. Malim mihi ipsi placere, & nonnullis aliis: quàm solummodò nonnullis aliis, & non mihi.
Siquid hic verum, ac non incommodè dictum inveniatur, illud non humano cujusvis ingenio, sed Deo omnis veritatis auctori, (ut scripsit S. Augustinus) omninò, ut par est, ascribendum est. Simendum aliquod, vel erratum inciderit, id meae imbecillitati tri∣buendum est: Cujus (coeles••i misericordiâ) veniam humiliter precor. Gabriel Palae∣otus in fine libri, de Sacri Consistorii consultationibus.
