thing: Thou forgivest debts, and yet thou losest nothing. And what shall I say, O my God, my life, my joy, my holy, dear delight ? Or what can any man say, when he speaketh of thee? And woe be to them that speak not of thee, but are silent in thy praise : for even they who speak most of thee, may be accounted to be but dumb. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, that I may speak unto thee, and praise thy Name. Amen.

A Prayer wherewith to conclude all our

Devotions.

Almighty Gov, who hast promised to hear the petitions of them that ask in thy Son's Name, I beseech thee mercifully to incline thine ears unto me, who have now made my prayers and supplications unto thee; and grant that those things which I have faithfully asked, according to thy will, may be effectually obtained, to the relief of my necessity, and to the setting forth of thy glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Lich I b

The Blessing.

Г

The peace of God, which passeth all understanding ; the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ; the virtue of Christ's blessed Cross and Passion be with me, now, and at the hour of death. Amen.
