O Lord, we beseech you not to remenber any more the sins of his youth, nor his ignorances, but according, to the greatness of your mercy, remember him in the splen∣dour of your glory. Open the heavens, o Lord, & receive your servant into your Kingdom: Let S, Michael the Archangel of God, who has merited
the chief command in the Celestiall hosts, receive him: Let all the An∣gells of God come forth to meet him, & conduct him into the holy City of Jerusalem: Let S. Peter, to whom were given the keys of the Kingdom of heaven, receive him: Let S. Paul the Apostle, who was a worthy ves∣sell of Election, assist him: Let S. John, the beloved of God, to whom were revealed the secrets of heaven, interceed for him: Let all the Apost∣les, to whom was given the power of binding & losing of souls, pray for him: Let all the Saints, and Elect of God, who for the name of Jesus Ghrist, have suffer'd torments in this world, interceed for him; that being separated from, & stript of his earthly body, he may merit to arrive to the glory of your heavenly Kindom, by the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, who with the Father, & the holy Ghost, lives & reigns world without end. Amen.
