The daily exercises of a Christian life or the interiour spirit with which we ought to animate our actions throughout the whole day: With an easy instruction for mentall prayer, translated out of French by I.W. of the Soc. of Jesus.

Conclusion of this Exercise. Act of abandonment & resignation.

O my God I abandon my self, & without reserve, to that divine jud∣gement you shall pronounce upon my soul; I submit my self to it, with all my heart; I adore, & reverence it as most just, & equitable, now, & for Eternity.

A Spirituall Expiring.

Holding your cross in your hand, Say these words; Behold, o my God, my Creatour, & my Redeemer, that I come unto you because you call me; receive me in the bosome of your mercy.

And amorously kissing the wounds of your Crucifix, pronounce the holy namas of Jesus, & Mary, at each wound; then repeating the last words of our Saviour; My God, into your hands, I yeeld up my Spirit; ex∣pire in the sacred wound of the side of Jesus, chose it for your grave, &

hide your self in his sacred heart.

After this Exercise, we must look upon our selves as dead to the world, & to our selves; accordingly, we should often repeat those words of S. Paul; I live, yet not I, but Iesus Christ that lives in me, & my life is hid with Iesus Christ in God.
