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.

A COMPENDIUM OF the aforesaid Exercise, to prepare ones self well for death. Which one may make every night before one goes to bed.

MY heart is prepared, o my God, my heart is prepared; your will be done, my God & not mine: I abandon my self entirely to receive death, at what time, in what man∣ner, you please to send it to me.

2 I most humbly beg of you, par∣don for all the sins I have com∣mitted against your Soveraign goodness; & I repent me of them, with all my heart.

3. I believe firmly, all that the Roman Catholick Church believes, & tea∣ches; and I will dye in this belief.

4. I hope to possess eternall life

by your mercy, & by the merits of my Sauiour Jesus Christ.

5. O my God, I desire to love you above all creatures, & to the con∣tempt of all creatures, as my Sove∣raingn good; & my neighbour, as my self, pardoning him from the bottom of my heart.

6. O my divine Jesus, what an extreme desire have I to receive yo••r sacred body! & to do it spiritually, unite my self to all the communions that shall be made throughout the whole Church, to the end of the world, & particularly at the hour of my death,

7. Afford me the grace, o my di∣vine Saviour, to blot out all the sins I have committed by my senses, by applying to my self, the unction of thy precious blood.

8. Holy Virgin, mother of my God, defend me from my enemies, & present me to your son.

9. Great S. Michael, my holy Angell Guardian, my holy Prote∣ctours, pray & assist me, in this last passage.

10. O my God, I renounce all the temptations of the Enemy, & gene∣rally, all that may displease you: I adore & receive your divine judge∣ments upon my soul, as most just & equitable; & I abandon my self to them, with entire submission.

11. O Jesus, my divine Jesus, be to me Jesus; O my God, reti∣ring with an humble confidence, into thy sacred wounds, I commit my soul into thy divine hands; receive it into the bosome of thy mercy. Amen.
