into the hands of thy vnmeasurable mercies humbly beseeching thee according to the greatnesse of that loue in which the blessed soule of thy Sonne did commend it selfe into thy hands that for the worthinesse of that infinit loue of thine in which thou diddest receiue that holy soule vnto thy selfe thou wouldest vouchsafe in this our brothers last houre to receiue his poore soule also and make it partaker of the same loue And thou most sweete Sauiour and most merciful Lord Iesus thou that dying on the Crosse wast so pressed with anguish and torments for vs as made thee sound out that

Crosse and for thy precious passion and bitter death think of him the thoughts of mercy and not of iustice shed thy mercies in his soule and speak comfortably to his conscience deliuer his soule out of all spirituall diseases saue him from the torments due vnto his deseruings and bring him for thine owne merits sake to eternall rest O Lord Iesus Christ which didst redeeme vs with thy precious blood write with thine owne blood in the soule and ingraue thy wounds in the heart of this thy seruant that in them hee may see and reade thy dolefull sufferings and thy sweete loue thy sufferings that they may be effectuall to ransome him from those sorrowes and torments which he hath merited by his sin thy loue that it may vnite his heart to thee in indiuisible and inseperable bonds so as he may neuer bee separated from thee nor thy Saints for euer and euer And Lord Iesus Christ we beseech thee make his soule partaker of all the merits of thy most sacred incarnation passion resurrection and ascension make him partaker of the vertue of thy most blessed Sacraments and all thy holy mysteries make him partaker of all the prayers and good deeds done in thy whole Church make him partaker

him from the presence of Gods Angels be he banished into the blacke mists and confused Chaos of eternall darkenesse But let the Lord arise and let his enemies bee scattered as the smoake vanisheth so let them flye away But let the iust be exalted and reioyce in the presence of the Lord let the infernall legions not dare to touch thee nor presume to hinder thee and hee who disdained not to dye for thee be hee thy Sauiour and deliuerer from all spirituall vexation Be the gates of Paradise open vnto thee and thy Christ giue thee thy place and mansion in the same And he that is the true Pastor and great Shepherd of the
