Psalm 1. PUt me not to rebuke O Lord in thine anger neither chasten me in thy heavy displeasure 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me and thy hand presseth me sore 3. There is no health in my flesh because of thy displeasure neither is there any rest in my bones by reason of my sin 4. For my wickednesses are gone over mine head and are like a sore burthen too heavy for me to bear 5. My wounds stink and are corrupt through my foolishness 6. I am brought into so great trouble and misery that I go mourning all the day long 7. For my loins are filled with a sore Disease and there is no whole part in my body 8. I am feeble and sore smitten I have roared for the very disquietness of my heart 9. Lord thou knowest all my desire and my groning is not hid from thee 10. My heart panteth my strengâ—h hath failed me and the sight of mine eyes is gone from me 11. My Lovers and my Neighbours did stand looking upon my trouble and my Kinsmen stood afar off 12. They also that sought after my life laid snares for me and they that went about to do me evil talked of wickedness and imagined deceit all the day long 13. As for me I was like a deaf man and heard not and as one that is dumb which doth not open his mouth 14. I became even as a man that heareth not and in whose mouth are no reproofs 15. For in thee O Lord have I put my trust thou shalt answer for me O Lord my God 16 I have required that they even mine enemies should not triumph over me for when my foot slipt they rejoyced greatly against me 17. And I truly am set in the plague and my heaviness is ever in my sight 18. For I will confess my wickedness and be sorry for my sin 19. But mine enemies live and are mighty and they that hate me wrongfully are many in number 20. They also that reward evil for good are against me because I followed the thing that good is 21. Forsake me not O Lord my God be not thou far from me 22. Hast thee to help me O Lord God of my Salvation Glory be to the Father c. As it was in the beginning c. The 51. Psalm 1. HAve mercy upon me O God after thy great goodnesse according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences 2. Wash me throughly from my wickedness and cleanse me from my sin 3. For I knowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me 4. Against thee only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou mightest be justified in thy saying and clear when thou art judged 5. Behold I was shapen in wickedness and in sin hath my Mother Conceived me 6. But lo thou requirest truth in the inward parts and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly 7. Thou shalt purge me with Hysop and I shall be clean thou shalt wash me and I shall be whiter than Snow 8. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoyce 9. Turn thy face from my sins and put out all my misdeeds 10. Make me a clean heart O God and renew a right Spirit within me 11. Cast me not away from thy presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from me 12. O give me the Comfort

bored with Nailes whose Side was pierc'd with a Spear and immediately there gusht out Water and Blood whose whole Body was ignominiously Crucified between two Thieves What tongue can express those Innumerable pains which thy Innocence suffered we beseech thee for these so exceeding great torments illuminate our Souls with the light of thy knowledge and moderate our unruly passions strengthen our hands to good works and convert our footsteps into thy wayes direct our thoughts words and deeds according to thy holy Law and in the end of our lives bring us to thy everlasting Kingdom where with thy holy Angels we may praise thee for ever who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost ever one God woâ—ld without end Amen BEhold O holy Father thy dearly beloved Son so cruelly tormented for me Behold most merciful King who it is that suffers and remember for whom he suffers Is it not O Lord thy most innocent Son whom thou hast given to Death that he might Redeem thy Servants Is it not the Authour of Life who being led as a Sheep to the Slaughter was made obedient even to death and that the most cruel kind of death Call to mind O eternal Authour of all goodnesse that this is he whom thou hast begotten of thy Divine Power and vertue yet hast thou made him partaker of my Infirmity and weaknesse Verily this is thy Son the Son of the living God who being clothed with my nature ascended the Gibbet of the Crosse on which he suffered a most dolorous Death O Lord cast the eyes of thy Majesty on the work of thy ineffable bounty behold thy most sweet Son with his whole Body stretched out behold his innocent hands besprinkled with his precious Blood and mercifully pardon those faults which my hands have committed Look upon his naked Side pierced with a Spear and bath my Soul in that sacred Fountain which I believe issued from thence Consider his holy Feet which never stood in the way of sinners but alwaies walked in thy Law with sharp and long Nails fastned to the Crosse and guid my steps in the path of thy Commandments O my God make me hate the wayes of Iniquity and alwayes choose those of truth and Piety O King of Angels and Saints I beseech thee for this Holy of Holies for this my Redeemer make me continually remember his excessive love that I may be united to him in Spirit who hath not disdained to be clad with my flesh Blessed Father feest thou not the Head of thy dear Son with his Neck bending to die behold most meek Creator the Humanity of thy beloved Son and have mercy on the frailty of thy Creature his white and innocent Breast is naked his Side red in his own Blood his extended bowels dried up his fair and beautiful eyes grown dim and faint his royal Visage pale and the streams of his most precious Blood water his pierced Feet Behold O glorious Father the torn Body of thy beloved Son and graciously remember what my substance is behold the sufferings of Jesus thy Son and release the miseries of Man thy Creature behold the punishment of the Redeemer and forgive the offences of the Redeemed This is he O my Lord whom thou hast smitten for the sins of thy People although he was thy beloved in whom thou wast well pleased This is that Innocent in whom there was found no guilt and yet was he reputed among the wicked O Benign Lord pour we beseech thee thy grace into our hearts that we restraining our sins by voluntary Chastisement may rather be afflicted temporally then deputed to eternal Punishments through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth one God world

a most perfect Example and finally thou didst consent upon that tree to die and by thy Death to Redeem us I humbly beseech thee for the incomparable patience thou shewedst in the whole course of thy Life and then especially when thy malicious Enemies so raged against thee when they mocked thee and spit upon thy Face when they hood-winked thine eyes and with their most impure hands buffeted thy Cheeks when they cruelly scourged thee fast bound to a Pillar when they did thrust upon thy sacred Head a Crown of Thornes and prest their sharp points into thy Temples when with Iron Nails they pierced thy blessed Hands stretched along upon the Cross when thy blessed Side was transfixt with a Spear when in thy great thirst and extreme Agony they offered thee a spunge full of vinegar and gall when with thy Head inclined down thou saidst It is Consummate when thou didst commend thy Spirit into the hands of God the Father and in the end gavest up thy last breath for the Redemption of Mankind For all these Pains and Passions O most gracious Lord Jesus Christ I poor and miserable sinner humbly beseech thy infinite Majesty not to forsake me nor suffer me to be Condemned in thy terrible

Holy and eternal Jesus who didst for our sakes Fast forty dayes and forty nights and hast left to us thy Example and thy prediction that in the dayes of thy absence from us we thy Servants and Children of thy Bride-Chamber should Fast teach us to do this act of discipline so that it may become an Act of Religion Let us never be like Esau valuing a Dish of meat above a Blessing but let us deny our appetites of Meat and Drink and accustome our selves to the yoke and substract the fuel of our lusts and the incentives of all our unworthy desires that our bodies being free from the intemperances of nutriment and our Spirits from the load and pressure of Appetite we may have no desires but of thee that our outward Man daily decaying by the violence of time and mortified by the abatements of its too free and unnecessary support it may by degrees resign to the intire dominion of the Soul and may passe from vanity to piety from weakness to ghostly strength from darknesse and mixtures of impurity to great transparencies and charity in the society of a beautiful Soul reigning with thee in the glories of eternity O holy and eternal Iesu Amen O God the Authour of peace and lover of Charity give to our Enemies peace and true Charity grant them remission of all their sins and deliver us from all their deceipts through our Lord Iesus Christ Amen O Almighty everlasting God

Lord and so shall wee be turned be favourable O Lord be favourable to thy People who turn to thee in weeping fasting and praying For thou art a merciful God full of compassion long-suffering and of great pity Thou sparest when we deserve punishment and in thy wrath thinkest upon Mercy Spare thy People good Lord spare them and let not thine Heritage be brought to confusion Hear us O Lord for thy merty is great and after the multitude of thy mercies look upon us through the Merits and mediation of thy blessed Son Iesus Christ our Lord Amen O Lord hear our Prayers And let our Cry come unto thee

Psalm 1. HEar my Prayer O Lord and consider my desire hearken unto me for thy truth and righteousness sake 2. And enter not into judgment with thy Servant for in thy sight shall no man living be justified 3. For the enemy hath persecuted my Soul he hath smitten my life down to the ground he hath laid me in the darknesse as the men that have been long dead 4. Therefore is my Spirit vexed within me and my heart within me is desolate 5. Yet do I remember the time past I muse upon all thy works yea I exercise my self in the works of thy hands 6.

thou art put to the torture I was puffed up with pride and thou art made of no reputation I was disobedient and thou sufferedst the punishment of my rebellion I have pampered my self with delicacies and thou wert often afflicted with hunger and thirst my inordinate affections have made me to do things unlawful thy perfect Charity has brought thee to suffer an ignominious death I presumed to do what I was forbidden and thou submittedst thy self to rebukes even for thy good works I delight in liberty and pleasure and thou art fastened to the Cross with intollerable grief I live at ease and thy hands and feet are pierced with Nails I tast the pleasant apple and thou the bitter gall Eve laugheth and rejoyceth with me blessed Mary laments and sorrows with thee Behold O King of Glory what mine iniquity is and what thy mercy how excessive my wickednesse and how infinite thy goodness O my King and my God what may I possibly offer thee in acknowledgment of thy Bounty mans heart is not able to think much less can his poverty furnish a worthy Oblation for so great benefits I beseech thee therefore for thy mercies sake cause me from henceforth to renounce all the enticements of the World and for love of thee not to fear any adversities by it but despise even Death it self and having perpetually in remembrance the blessednesse of Heaven make no account either of the pleasure or afflictions of this transitory life Let nothing please me but that which is acceptable to thee nor any thing offend me but that which is disagreeable to thy Will let all things besides thee seem tedious to me and may I never be wearied in seeking after thee let no joy delight me that is without thee and let me rejoyce in all afflictions I suffer for thee may the remembrance of thee be my consolation and turn my tears into nourishment whilst I seek thy Righteousness let the Law of thy mouth be more precious to me than thousands of gold and silver let it be my chief delight to obey thee and greatest grief to displease thee I humbly beseech thee my onely hope that thou wilt be propitious to me and pardon all my iniquities open my ears to hear what thou Commandest and suffer not my heart to decline from thee nor through words of wickednesse to seek excuse for my sins but alwayes to keep my self in the paths of thy Commandments that at my death I may be found in the true way to thy Felicity who livest and reignest for ever and ever Amen LOrd have mercy on us Christ have mercy on us Lord have mercy on us Jesu receive our Prayers Lord Jesu grant our Petitions O God the Father
