came from Heaven which whosoever is rightly partaker of shall not perish but have life everlasting V. As for the precedent days of Preparation how many they should be or how they should be imployed you are to refer your self to your Guide who may advise you not to be over-scrupulous of the Time for the Primitive Christians communicated every day and if your life be innocent from great offences your Preparation need not be long Only be sure you bring with you Faith and Charity clean hands and a penitent heart which if you do be confident the Master of the Feast will not find fault with you for want of a Wedding-garment VI. That upon the blessed day of your Receiving you do more vigorously prepare your self by lifting up your Heart and Hands to God and offering up your private Prayers fitted for that purpose with all possible Devotion And that being done you may compose your self in quiet and in silence till the time of the Morning Sacrifice be come when being called to a more Publick Oratory you may be the fitter to go with an humbly Confidence to meet your Saviour and with that Ardour and Affection as a chaste Virgin goes to an holy Marriage VII That during the Celebration of this Holy Sacrament you attend earnestly to what is done by the Priest When he breaks the Bread imagine to your self that you see the Body of your dear Saviour torn and crucified and when he pours out the Wine consider that his Blood was thus poured out upon the Altar of the Cross and last of all when he that consecrates shall stand before you ready in particular to apply it you may then think that you see Christ himself reaching out his own Body and Blood to you to feed your Soul unto Eternal Life VIII That farther you are really to believe the words as they are spoken This is my Body This is my Blood and not to doubt but that it is effectually made good to you in the Receiving without any dispute at all or scrupulous inquiring into the manner of it which neither Christ hath revealed and neither Men nor Angels are able to pry into IX That the Celebration of these Holy Mysteries being ended you are to retire with all Thankfulness of heart for having been admitted to that Heavenly Feast wherein your Saviour who gave himself for you on the Cross hath now more particularly given himself to you in the Sacrament never to depart from you unless you again wilfully offend him which you are the more earnestly to beware lest by frequent Relapses the Sacrament it self prove not only useless but dangerous to you and your latter end prove worse than your beginning Advice concerning Fasting I. YOU are to consider Fasting either as a Duty enjoined by the Church or as a voluntary undertaking of your own Your Obedience is required to the former in every particular as far as it is enjoyned unless the want of Health or some other Accidents may unavoidably hinder you wherein not only the Bishop may dispense with you but he that hath the charge of your Soul especially if the Necessity be evident II. Besides the ordinary Fasts prescribed by the Church you are advised to set aside some Day either Weekly or at least Monthly wherein you may mourn in private not only for your own sins and personal calamities but for those publick Judgments now fallen on the whole Church and Nation and those crying sins which have occasioned them offering up your earnest prayers to God for the removing of them which when they come from a mortified Body and a contrite Heart are such a Sacrifice that God who deceives no man being true to his Promises cannot possibly despise III. That the Fast for the time designed be such as may in some measure be afflictive to you abstaining totally that day from all manner of food if the condition of your health will bear it or if that cannot be that you be so moderate in your feeding that it may appear that you rather serve your Necessities in eating than satisfie your Appetite IV. That you imploy this Day or such a part of it at least as you may keep free to your self as a Retreat from the world the business and the pleasures of it that so you may with the more freedom make up the Accounts between God and your own Soul and by Prayer and Penitence reconcile your self to him for without this Fasting is of no use Expressions of Humiliation preparatory to the following Devotions RIghteousness O Lord belongs unto thee but unto me confusion of face the vainest the vilest the sinfullest of all the children of men Lord I am vile in mine own eyes and I will be yet more vile because my sins have made me vile in thine I am not worthy of the Air I breath of the Earth I tread upon or of the Sun that shines upon me much less worthy to lift up either hands or eyes to Heaven For thou hast said that no unclean thing shall come within thy sight and how then shall I appear who am so miserably defiled If the Man according to thine own heart could say that he was a Worm and no Man O what am I If Abraham who had the honour to be called thy Friend could say that he was but Dust and Ashes O what am I O my God thou madest me of nothing and thou feest how I have spoiled this work of thine for I have made my self worse than nothing For I am still in my Sins and what to do I know not Acts of Resolution to second this Humiliation But this I will do I Will confess my wickedness and be sorry for my sins I will stand aloof with the Publican and smite my breast and say Lord be merciful to me a sinner I will return with the Prodigal and say Father I am not worthy to be called thy Child make me as one of thine hired Servants I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep nor mine eye-lids to slumber till I have by the mediation of thy dear Son obtained my pardon And what shall I say more I will pour out my prayers in the bitterness of my Spirit and if my dry Eyes want Tears I will call unto my Heart for Tears of Blood wherewith I may supply them And therefore now Lord call my sins to my remembrance and when thou hast done so blot them out of thy remembrance and pardon me A Litany of Confession to be made use of by the Penitent Soul that finds it self burthened with a true sense of Sin I. WO Wo unto me O God that being a Creature of thine and made by thee capable of enjoying everlasting felicity I have lived so wickedly and leudly that unless thy mercy prevent it I shall utterly forfeit the very End of my Creation But I Repent O my God I Repent I am utterly ashamed of it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner II. Wo Wo unto me O God that

humbly patiently charitably and diligently served thee change this robe into the shining garment of immortality my confusion into glory my folly to perfect knowledge my weaknesses and dishonours to the strength and beauties of the Sons of God V. IN the mean time use what means thou pleasest to conform me to the image of thy holy Son that I may be gentle to others and severe to my self that I may sit down in the lowest place striving to go before my brother in nothing but in doing him and the honour staying for my glory till thou shalt please in the day of recompences to reflect light from thy face and admit me to behold thy glories Grant this for Jesus Christ's sake who humbled himself to the death and shame of the Cross and is now exalted unto glory Unto him with thee O Father be glory and praise for ever and ever Amen For Monday A Prayer against Covetousness I. O Almighty God eternal Treasure of all good things thou fillest all things with plenteousness Thou clothest the lilies of the field and fecdest the young ravens that call upon thee Thou art all-sufficient in thy self and all-sufficient to us Let thy providence be my store-house my dispensation of temporal things the limit of my labour my own necessity the measures of my desire but never let my desires of this world be greedy nor my labour immoderate nor my care vexatious and distracting but prudent moderate holy subordinate to thy Will the measure thou hast appointed for me II. TEach me O God to despise the world to labour for the true riches to seek the Kingdom of Heaven and its Righteousness to be content with what thou providest to be in this world like a stranger with affections set upon Heaven labouring for and longing after the possessions of thy Kingdom but never suffer my affections to dwell below but give me a heart compassionate to the poor liberal to the needy open and free in all my communications without base ends or greedy designs or unworthy arts of gain but let my strife be to gain thy favour to obtain the blessedness of doing good to others and giving to them that want and the blessedness of receiving from thee pardon and support grace and holiness perseverance and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. For Tuesday A Prayer against Lust. I. O Eternal Purity thou art brighter than the Sun purer than the Angels and the Heavens are not clean in thy sight with mercy behold thy servant apt to be tempted with every object and to be overcome by every enemy I cannot O God stand in the day of battel and danger unless thou coverest me with thy shield and hidest me under thy wings The fiery darts of the Devil are ready to consume me unless the dew of thy grace for ever descend upon me Thou didst make me after thine image be pleased to preserve me so pure and spotless chast and clean that my body may be a holy Temple and my Soul a Sanctuary to entertain thy divinest Spirit the Spirit of love and holiness the Prince of Purities II. REprove in me the spirit of Fornication and Uncleanness and fill my Soul with holy fires that no strange fire may come into the Temple of my body where thou hast chosen to dwell O cast out all those unclean spirits which have unhallowed the place where thy holy feet have trod pardon all my hurtful thoughts all my impurities that I who am a member of Christ may not become the member of an harlot nor the slave of the Devil nor a servant of lust and unworthy desires but do thou purifie my love and let me seek the things that are above hating the garments spotted with the flesh never any more grieving the holy spirit by filthy inclinations with impure and phantastick thoughts but let my thoughts be holy my Soul pure my body chast and healthful my spirit severe devout and religious every day more and more that at the day of our appearing I may be presented to God washed and cleansed pure and spotless by the blood of the holy Lamb through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen For Wednesday A Prayer against Gluttony and Drunkenness I. O Almighty Father of Men and Angels who hast of thy great bounty provided plentifully for all mankind to support his state to relieve his necessities to refresh his sorrows to recreate his labours that he may praise thee and rejoice in thy mercies and bounty be thou gracious unto thy servant yet more and suffer me not by my folly to change thy bounty into sin thy grace into wantonness Give me the spirit of temperance and sobriety that I may use thy creatures in the same measures and to the same purposes which thou hast designed so as may best enable me to serve thee but not to make provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof Let me not as Esau prefer meat before a blessing but subdue my appetite subjecting it to reason and the grace of God being content with what is moderate and useful and easie to be obtained taking it in due time receiving it thankfully making it to minister to my body that my body may be a good instrument of the Soul and the Soul a Servant of thy Divine Majesty for ever and ever II. PArdon O God in whatsoever I have offended thee by meat and drink and pleasures and never let my body any more be oppressed with loads of sloth and delicacies or my Soul drowned in Seas of wine or strong drink but let my appetites be changed into spiritual desires that I may hunger after the food of Angels and thirst for the wine of elect Souls and may account it meat and drink and pleasure to do thy will O God Lord let me eat and drink so that my food may not become a temptation or a sin or a disease but grant that with so much caution and prudence I may watch over my appetite that I may in the strength of thy mercies and refreshments in the light of thy countenance and in the paths of thy Commandments walk before thee all the days of my life acceptable ot thee in Jesus Christ ever advancing his honour and being filled with his Spirit that I may at last partake of his glory through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen For Thursday A Prayer against Envy I.

Matthew AN EXPOSITION OF The Apostles Creed I Believe in God I Believe that there is a God who is one true supreme and alone infinitely wise just good free eternal immense and blessed and in him alone we are to put our trust The Father Almighty I believe that he is 1. the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and 2. of all that believe in him whom he hath begotten by his Word and adopted to the inheritance of Sons and because he is our Father he will do us all that good to which we are created and designed by Grace and because he is Almighty he is able to perform it all and therefore we may safely believe in him and relie upon him Maker of Heaven Earth He made the Sun and the Moon the Stars and all the Regions of Glory he made the Air the Earth and the Water and all that live in them he made Angels and Men and he who made them does and he only can preserve them in the same being and thrust them forwards to a better He that preserves them does also govern them and intends they should minister to his Glory and therefore we are to do worship and obedience to him in all that we can and that he hath commanded And in Jesus Christ I also believe in Jesus Christ who is and is called a Saviour and the Anointed of the Lord promised to the Patriarchs whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power to become the Great Prophet and declarer of his Father's Will to all the world telling us how God will be worshipped and served he is anointed to be the Mediator of the New Covenant and our High-Priest reconciling us to his Father by the Sacrifice of himself and to be the Great King of all the world And by this Article we are Christians who serve and worship God the Father through Jesus Christ.

resolved with thy Servant David to take care of my ways that I offend not in my tongue but have many times vainly and inconsiderately let it loose and either to please the Company or my self I have spoken words which might unhappily prove occasions of sin both to them and me without regard or remembring how great Flames such little sparks might kindle But I Repent O my God I Repent I do infinitely condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XVIII Wo Wo unto me O God that all the parts and faculties of my Soul and Body have been abused and have not served the Laws of their Creator but have so eagerly and constantly pursued the corrupt desires of a seduced Heart that I have cause to fear that either my whole life may be looked upon as one continued sin or at least as having admitted so few inconsiderable Pauses that if thou shouldst enter into strict Judgment with me I should not have the confidence to say when or where or wherein I have been innocent But I Repent O my God I Repent I am confounded and astonished at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XIX Wo unto me O God that I have wretchedly failed even in my best endeavours that I have been cold in my Devotions weary of my Prayers inconstant to good purposes dull and heavy in the way to Heaven but quick and active in all the ways of sin having made it the whole business of my life rather to seem to be Religious than really to be so But I Repent O my God I Repent I Accuse and Judge and Condemn my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XX. Wo Wo unto me O God that I have not washed mine hands in Innocency when I have gone unto thine Altar nor made mine heart ready to receive the bread that came from Heaven but have failed in my Preparations and have not sufficiently considered either mine own unworthiness or the high secrets of so great a Mystery But I Repent O my God I Repent I am grieved and troubled at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XXI Wo Wo unto me O God that having so often received those inestimable Pledges of thy love the precious Body and Blood of thy dear Son in the Holy Sacrament I have been so unwary as to admit my former sins under the same roof with thee and have unhappily done what lay in me to drive thee from me But I Repent O my God I Repent I am infinitely ashamed at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XXII Wo Wo unto me O God that my Repentance the only plank left me in the Shipwrack of my Soul hath been so weak so slight and so unsteady that every small blast of a new Temptation hath been able to drive me from it and by frequent Relapses into sin gives me cause enough to repent even of my vain repentance But I Repent again O God again I I Repent I hate and loath and abhor my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XXIII Wo Wo unto me O God that having received my Life and Being and Preservation from thee with so many advantages to have made me happy in this world and blessed in the next I have been so abominably unthankful that I have cast all these thy Blessings behind me and returned thee nothing back for all thy favours but affronts and injuries and sins But I Repent O my God I Repent I am confounded and astonished at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XXIV Wo wo unto me O God that being Redeemed by the Death and Passion of thy dear and only Son I have not laid his bitter Agonies to heart nor made right use of the precious Ransom which was laid down for me That I have not yet sued out my pardon with such Penitent Tears as thou requirest nor laid hold of the benefits of it by a lively Faith but have chosen rather stupidly to continue in my Sins and to neglect the Blood of the Covenant as an unholy thing But I Repent O my God I Repent I hate and loath and abhor my self for it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XXV Wo Wo unto me O God that thy Holy Spirit I have grieved thy Counsels I have rejected thy Motions I have quenched and have entertained the Lusts and Vanities nf this life with far more earnest and passionate affections than all thy Holy Inspirations But I Repent O my God I Repent I am utterly ashamed and confounded at it Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner XXVI Wo Wo unto me O God that having thus far opened my guilty heart before thee I have left so many Sins behind that I cannot number them some that I have really forgot some that I would forget if my Conscience would give me leave Sins known that I cannot conceal and sins secret such as I have taken so much care to hide from others that they are now become hidden from my self But whatsoever they are or wheresoever they are registred whether in my own Conscience or in any other Record that may be proved against me in the day of Judgment I call the whole Court of Heaven to witness That I do sadly Repent my self of them all That I do abhor my self for them all That I resolve stedfastly to renounce them all Lord be thou merciful to me a Sinner Amen Amen The Penitent Soul having made this or the like Confession prepares and stirs up it self to true Contrition WHat shall I say more unto thee O thou that art the Judge of the whole Earth or what shall I do more I have ransacked my breast and laid it open I have spread it before thee as Hezekiah the blaspheming Letter of his Enemy I do not desire that there should be so much as any fold or pleight or corner of it hidden from thee Or if this be not enough to transact this great business of my Soul between me and thee alone and that possibly I may flatter my self in the several acts of my intended Penitence I am ready to go farther and to make my self the more ashamed of sinning with all humility to confess these sins of mine to some of those servants of thine whom thou hast placed between mee and thee and to whom alone under thee thou hast so clearly given the power of Absolution O deal with me then as thou didst with thy Servant David who no sooner confessed his sins but thou forgavest him all his iniquities But are there not they who confess their sins and have the impudence to glory in them or at least pass them over without any act of real Contrition or any remorse at all But O my God if my heart deceive me not I am none of those for I can neither glory in my shame nor can I be satisfied with my self when I appear with dry eyes before thee After this Preparation these

my life and the unexhausted Fountain of Mercy which can never be drawn dry I have now by the assistance of thy holy Spirit gone through though with weak and trembling steps the whole exercise of Repentance for I have confessed my sins and thou hast promised upon my confession of them not to impute them to me I have gone one step farther for I have repented of my sins and thou hast promised again that upon my repentance thou wilt remember them no more and because thy holy Word hath taught me that a new life is the only life of a true Repentance I have this day in thy sight and in the presence of all the Holy Angels that attend thee in the Conversion of a Sinner made my firm resolution never to fall again into the sins which I have repented of And now what remains for a poor Penitent to do more but humbly and earnestly to beg thy Pardon The Penitent's Prayer O God the Father who canst not be thought so cruel as to make me only to destroy me Have mercy on me O God the Son who knowing thy Father's Will didst make it thy business to come into the world to save me Have mercy on me O God the Holy Ghost who to the same end didst sanctifie me in my Baptism and hast so often since breathed holy thoughts and motions on me Have mercy on me O Holy and Blessed and Glorious Trinity whom in three Persons I adore as my one and onely true God Have mercy on me Hear me O Lord. Help me O Lord. Save me or else I perish Lord carest thou not that I perish Thou that wouldest have all men saved Thou who wouldst have none to perish And wilt thou now shew thine anger against a Worm against a Leaf against a Vapour that vanisheth before thee O remember how short my time is and deliver not my Soul into the power of Hell For alas what profit is there in my Bloud or who shall ever give thee thanks in that bottomless pit No let me live in thy sight let me live O my God that my Soul may praise thee Forget me as I have been disobedient provoking thee to anger and regard me as I am distressed crying out to thee for help Look not upon me as I am a Sinner but consider me as I am thy Creature A Sinner I am I confess a Sinner of no ordinary strain but let not this hinder thee O my God for upon such sinners thou gettest the greatest glory O remember for whose sake it was that thou camest from the bosom of thy Father and didst let thy self down so low as to be content to be born of thine own humble handmaid Remember for whom it was that thy tender body was Torn Scourged and Crucified and thy precious Blood shed Was it not for the sins of the whole world and shall I be so narrow-hearted to my own Soul or so injurious to thy Glory as to think that in all this crowd thou hast particularly excepted me Or which is as great a dishonour to thee can I possibly imagine that thou diedst only for Sinners of a lower kind and leftest such as I am without remedy What had become then of him who filled Jerusalem with blood What of the noted Woman who had lived in a trade of Sin Nay what had become of thine own Disciple who with Oaths and Curses thrice denied thee O how easie is it for thee to forgive for it is thy Nature How proper is it for thee to save for it is thy Name How suitable is it to thy only End of coming into the World for it is thy Business And when I consider that I am the chief of Sinners may I not urge the Father and say Shall the very chief of thy business be left undone Mercy Mercy good Lord. I ask not of thee any longer the things of this world neither Power nor Honours nor Riches nor Pleasures No my God dispose of them to whom thou pleasest so that thou givest me Mercy O that I could hear thee once say as thou didst to him in the Gospel My Son be of good chear thy Sins are forgiven thee How would my drooping Spirits revive at such a sound and my now wounded Soul break forth into Hymns and Praises and Hallelujahs for a mercy so utterly undeserved of me and which the Angels which fell could never hear of But O my weak Soul what dost thou fear or what dost thou scruple at For thou art not yet in such a desperate condition but thou mayest expect that what was said to him may possibly be said to thee Nay be confident though it be with a mixture of fear and trembling that if thou dost not act the part of an Hypocrite all this while thy Saviour stands ready at the very doors of thy Heart to breath the very same words in a heavenly whisper to thee Be of good chear thy Sins are forgiven thee Return then unto thy rest O my Soul for thy Sins are forgiven thee Only take this Counsel along with thee Sin no more lest a worse thing fall unto thee O that I could never sin against thee more never purposely deliberately wilfully sin against thee more And for those sins of daily Incursion those over-familiar corruptions of my nature which thou hast not yet given me strength enough to conquer Lord either subdue them to me by degrees or lay them not to my charge But wherein soever my Conscience most accuseth me therein O my God be thou most merciful unto me Save me O God as a Brand snatched out of the Fire Receive me O my Jesu as a Sheep that hath wandred but is now returned to the great Shepherd and Bishop of my Soul The Jubile of the Penitent Soul after the sense of Pardon obtained REjoyce over me O God the Father that this thy Child was lost but is found was dead but is alive again Rejoyce over me O God the Son that thy loud Cries and Tears and bitter Agonies which for my sake thou enduredst upon the Cross were ●…ot so unhappily lost as to be cast away in vain upon me Rejoyce over me O God the Holy Ghost that thy so many secret and powerful touches have at last got the upper hand of me Rejoyce over me O ye holy Angels a great part of whose Ministery it is to rejoyce at the Conversion of a Sinner Rejoyce over thy self O my Soul that thou hast received so much grace from Heaven this day as sadly to confess thy Sins seriously to repent of them and stedfastly to resolve never to be guilty more of so much bruitishness as to be likened to the Dog that returns to his Vomit or to the Swine wallowing in the Mire The Penitent closeth all with this short Prayer LET this day O my God be noted in thy Book Do not thou forget my Prayers nor suffer me to forget my Resolutions For though I am weak though I am unworthy though I
