O Lord Jesus, which art the only health of all men living & the everlasting life of them which die in thy faith. I wretched sinner give and submit my self wholly unto thy most blessed will. And I ⟨image 52⟩being sure that the thing can not perish which is committed unto thy mercy. O lord, give me grace that willingly I may leave this frail & wicked flesh in hope of the resurrection, which in better wise shall restore it to me again, I beseech thee, most merciful lord (Jesus christ) that thou wilt by thy grace make strong my soul against all temptations. And that thou wilt cover and defend me with the buckler of thy ⟨p. 51⟩mercy against all the assaults of the devil. I see & knowledge ye there is in my self no help of salvation. But all my confidence, hope, & trust is in thy most merciful goodness, I have no merits nor good works, which I may allege before thee. Of my sins & evil works (alas) I see a great heap, but through thy mercy I trust to be in the number of them to whom thou wilt not impute their sins: but take & ⟨image 53⟩accept me for righteous and just & to be the inheritor of everlasting life. Thou merciful Lord wast borne for my sake, thou didst suffer both hunger & thirst, for my sake thou didst preach & teach, thou didst pray and fast for my sake, thou didst all good works & deeds for my sake. Thou sufferedst most grievous pains and torments for my sake. And finally, thou gavest thy most precious body to die, & thy blood ⟨p. 52⟩to be shed on the cross for my sake. Now most merciful saviour, let all these things profit me, which thou freely hast given me, that hast given thy self for me. Let thy blood cleanse and wash away the spots and foulness of my sins. Let thy right ousnes hide & cover my unrighteousness. Let the merits of thy passion & blood be satisfaction for my sins Give me Lord thy grace that my faith and salvation ⟨image 54⟩in thy blood, waver not in me, but ever be firm & constant, that the hope of thy mercy and life everlasting never decay in me, that charity wax not cold in me, finally, that the weakness of my flesh be not overcome with fear of death. Grant me (merciful saviour) that when death hath shut up the eyes of my body, yet that the eyes of my soul may still behold and look upon thee, that when death hath taken ⟨p. 53⟩away the use of my tongue & speech, yet that my hart may cry & say unto thee.
O Lorde Iesu, whiche art the only helth of all mē liuing & the euerlasting life of thē which die in thy faith. I wretched sinner geue and submit my self wholy vnto thy most blessed wil.
