THe fifth pointe is to make a very effectuall pur∣pose by Gods grace to amend the day following, and not to fall into the like sinnes,
with that earnest∣nesse wherewith the Prophet Dauid saieth: I haue sworne, and determined to keepe thy commaunde∣ments eternally, not for a day, nor for two, but tho∣roughout all my life, and all eternitye. And that this purpose may bee such, (besides that which shallbee declared in the meditation following) it is neces∣saryeto haue examined the occasions that I had to fall, by reason of such a place, or such a person, or such a beesinesse, and withall to determine to sepe∣rate myselfe from this occasion, if I can leaue it; and if not, to resolue to vse greater circumspectnesse, and to enter into it with preuention.

For the vvhich I beseeche thee, pardon the debtes of my sinnes, and ayde mee that I may no more retourne vnto them: permitte mee not to fall into the temptations that shall assaile mee, but deliuer mee from all euill for the glorie of thy holy name. Amen.
