( 16 )

O that I had wings like a Dove (ſaith holy David, in the Rapture of theſe Thoughts) that I might fly away . And certainly there remaineth, as holy Writ mentioneth, a Reſt for the People of God, which through the Riches and Mercy of our Lord Jeſus Chriſt and his Merits may be obtained, if we conſider in this our Day They Things that belong to our Peace. Which grant, O Lord, for thy infinite Mercies ſake that we may praiſe and magnify thy holy Name, World without End, Amen

The PRAYER.

O bleſſed Jeſus, conſider me a miſerable Wretch, whom in the Riches of thy Mercy, in ſhedding thy moſt precious Blood, thou haſt redeemed from Death to Life my Soul is raviſhed with the Thoughts of thy tranſcendant Compaſſion O me, and I ſhall follow with Joy and Delight. O! turn not away thy amiable Eyes, leſt I Faint, for my Soul is full of Love; guide me in thy Truth, and let me in Live, that when I die, my Soul may reſt with thee. Amen.
