End of man CHAP. II. THE last end of man is euerlasting blysse For he was created by God to be foreuer happy in paradise And his soule being once separated froÌ„ the body so it be free from stayne of syn shall be conducted by his good Angell into heauen there for all eternity to enioy the vision of God And after the worlds consummation man shall enioy his end of beatitude wholy both in soule and body which shall be againe resuscitated and conioyned to the soule to appeare before the soueraigne Iudge and of him to receyue the reward of life euerlasting But alas many there be who neuer shall ariue to this end for which they were created because they put not in practise the meanes requisite for the sauing of their soules It is therefore good and needfull to know what these meanes be how they are to be practised Of the meanes to come to our End CHAP. III. SOME meanes there be absolutely necessary towards the attayning of our last end some againe very profitable for the same respect The necessary meanes be principally three 1. A man must haue faith and belief in God and further belieue al that which God hath reuealed vnto vs by his Holy Catholike Church because it is infallible verity he must haue knowledge of the things that concerne his saluation which are declared in the Catechisme whereby it appeareth how maynly it importeth all to know and vnderstand the principall points of Christian Doctrine comprehended in the said Catechisme As touching God he must know that he is omnipotent most wise most good most iust that he hath euer been and euer shall be that he is euery where that he seeth and knoweth all things that there is but one God in three persons the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost who be al of one and the same Nature of the same Omnipotency Wisdome Goodnes and Perfection Also that the second Person in Trinity which is the Sonne of God became man and tooke mans flesh in the wombe of the sacred Virgin Mary by the operation of the Holy Ghost that he hath redeemed vs by his most paynefull death 2.

And the loue of God is demonstrated and practised in obseruation of his Commaundements and of the Commandements of the Church and in abstayning from all syn and in particular from mortall because the same is wholy opposite to him and diuerteth vs absolutly from our end And we must loue our neighbour as our selues for the loue of God Other meanes there be that may also greatly help vs toward the more easy more assured attayning of our end Such be 1. To exercise some things in the morning when we rise afterwards in the rest of the day following and at night when we go to bed 2. To examine our Conscience euery day 3.

To giue our selues to the exercise of al vertue good works c. Of the manner how to practise the aforesaid meanes well CHAP. IIII. MANY there be who know right well what they ought to do for the sauing of their soules but they haue not the knowledge how to practise the same and therefore the principall subiect of this short and spirituall Treatise shall be to specify the manner of practising those meanes well which may conduct vs to our end And for the easier orders sake we wil deuide it into two parts In the former wherof shall be declared the manner of the pactising of diuers spirituall exercises heere after mentioned And in the latter we will giue instructions how we ought to demeane and carry our selues towards God his Saints towards our neighbours and towardes our selues The former part of the Way to lyue well THE VII EXRCISE What we should do in the Morning CHAP. I. A good Christian as soone as he awaketh in the morning must blesse himselfe making the signe of the holy Crosse that therewith he may defend himselfe as a buckler against all his enemâ—es and whatsoeuer euill may befall him the day following That done let him raise his mind vp to God yealding him his first thought And being vp he must practise foure things 1. He must giue God thanks for al benefits receyued of him in generall and in particular for preseruing him that night from all euill 2. He must offer vnto God his both body and soule to serue him and consecrate vnto him all his actions with an intent and purpose to do them to his greater honour and glory 3. He must make a purpose firme resolutioÌ„ of a better life then he hath lead the dayes past and of abstayning from all syns in particular from those whereunto the findeth himselfe most inclined 4. He must make petition to God that he would please to take him into his protection and safegard and craue grace that he may be able to put his good purposes in practise and to do all his good works most acceptable to the diuine will It will be very good also to the same effect to implore the aide and assistance of the most sacred Virgin Mary of our good Angell Patrone and other Saints for as much as they can do very much with God and may easily obtayne what we demaund And this done let him say a Pater and Aue.
