ing by that it may be for mine and all the peopled salvation.

Lord, I offer to thee all my sins and offences, which I have committed in thy sight, and that of thy holy angels, from the day that I was first capable of sin until this hour, upon thy propitiatory altar, that thou mayst burn and consume them all with the fire of thy charity, and mayst remove all the stains of my sins, and cleanse my conscience from all offences, and restore to me thy grace, which I have lost by sin, by fully pardoning me all, and mercifully receiving me to the kiss Of peace. I offer also to thee all the good I have done, though very little and imperfect, that thou mayst make it better, and sanctify it; that thou mayst be pleased with it, and make it acceptable to thee, and perfect it more and more; and mayst, moreover, bring me, who am a slothful and unprofitable wretch, to a good and happy end.

I offer to thee also, all the goodly desires of thy devout servants; the necessities of my parents, brethren, sisters, and all those that are dear to me; and for all such as for the love of thee, have been benefactors to me or others, or who have desired and begged of me to offer up prayers and masses for themselves and all that belonged to them, whether they live as yet in the flesh, or whether they are now departed out of this world, that they all may be sensible of the assistance of thy grace, of the benefit of thy comfort, of thy protection from all dangers and of a deliverance from their pains: and that being freed from all evils, they may with joy give worthy thanks to thee. I offer up also to thee my prayers, and this sacrifice of propitiation for them in particular, who have in anything wronged, grieved, or abused me, or have done me any damage or displeasure.
