Some print faded; some pages torn. Reproduction of original in the British Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

A PREPARATORY PRAYER Before Sacramentall Confession . O Maker of heauen & earth , King of Kings and Lord of Lords , who hast made me of nothing vnto thy Image and similitude , & hast redeemed me with thy owne pretious bloud , whome I a sinner am not worthy to name , nor call vpon , nor yet to thinke of , in hart . I meekly beseech thee , and humbly pray thee , that thou wouldst respect with clemency me thy wicked seruant . And haue mercy vpon me , who tookest pitty vpon the woman of Canaan , & Mary Magdalen : who spard'st the Publican , and the Theefe hāging vpon the Crosse. To thee I confesse , O most louing Father , my sinnes , which , O Lord , if I would I cannot hide from thee . Spare me , o christ whom I haue lately much offēded in thinking , speaking , and doing , & by all the wayes in which I frayle worme and a sinner might offend through my fault , through my fault , thorogh my most grieuous fault . Therefore , O Lord , I beseech thy Clemency , who camest downe from heauen for my saluation , who liftedst vp Dauid from the fall of sinne , spare me o Lord , spare me o Christ who sparedst Peter denying thee . Thou art my Creatour , and my Redeemer , my Lord , & my Sauiour , my King , and my God. Thou art my hope , and my trust , my stay , and my helpe , my consolation , and my fortitude ; my defence , and my deliuerance ; my life , my saluation , and my resurrection ; my light , and my desire ; my ayde , & my patronage . I beseech and pray thee help me , and I shall be safe : gouerne me , and defend me ; comfort , & consolate me ; confirme and glad me ; enlighten me , and visite me . Raise me being dead , because I am thy creature and worke . O Lord , despise me not , for that I am thy seruant and vassall : and although euill , although vnworthy and a sinner , yet such as I am , whether good or euill , alwayes I am thyne . Vnto whome shall I flye , except I go to thee ? If thou cast me off , who will receaue me ? If thou despise me , who wil behold me ? Re-acknowledge me therfore thogh vnworthy returning vnto thee . For if I am vile , and vncleane , thou canst cleanse me : if I be blind , thou canst enlighten me : if I be feeble , thou canst heale me● if I be dead and burryed , thou canst reuiue me , because thy Mercy is greater then my iniquity : greater is thy piety , then my impiety : more thou canst pardon , then I commit : & more thou canst forgiue , then I a sinner offend . Therfore o Lord despise me not , nor yet regard the multitude of my iniquities , but according to the multitude of thy cōmiserations haue mercy on me , a most grieuous sinner . Say to my soule , I am thy saluation ; who said●st : I will not the death of a sinner , but rather that he be conuerted and liue : turne me , O Lord vnto thee , and do not extend thyne anger against me . I beseech thee ▪ o most clement Father , for thy mercy , I bow downe and earnestly pray thee , that thou direct me vnto a good end , and vnto true pennance , pure confession , and worthy satisfaction , for al my sinnes . Amen . Another Prayer before Sacramentall Confession . REceaue my confessiō O most benigne , and most clement Lord 〈◊〉 Christ , the only hope of the saluatiō of my soule , and giue vnto me ( I beseech thee ) contrition of hart , and teares to myne eyes , that I may bewaile day and night all my negligences with humility and purity of hart . Let my prayer o Lord , approach neere in thy sight . If thou shalt be angry against me , what helper may I seeke ? who will haue mercy vpon myne iniquityes ? Remember me , O Lord , who didst cal the womā of Canaan , and the Publican to repentance , & didst receaue Peter weeping . O Lord my God , accept my prayers : O good Iesu , Sauior of the world , who gauest thy selfe to the death of the crosse , that thou mightst saue sinners , regard me a wretched sinner , calling vpon thy Name , and regard not so my wickednes that thou forget thy goodnes . And if I haue committed ought , whereby thou mayst condemne me , yet thou hast not lost that whereby thou art wont to saue . Spare me therefore , o Lord who art my Sauiour , and take mercy on my sinneful soule . Loose the band thereof , & heale the woundes , O Lord Iesus . I desire thee , I seeke thee , I will thee : show me thy face , and I shall be safe . Send forth therefore , o most louing Lord ( through the merits of the most pure and immaculate euer Virgin Mary thy Mother , and thy Saintes ) thy light , and thy truth into my soule , which may shew vnto me truely all my defects , which it behooueth me to confesse ; and which may helpe and teach me to expresse thē fully , and with contrite hart . Who liuest and raignest God , world without end . Amen . A BRIEFE METHODE OF CONFESSION , For those that frequent the same often .

I accuse my selfe , that I haue not made my prayers vnto him , with that alacrity & feruour of spirit as I ought , but haue beene very often , and voluntarily distracted , slouthful , & could in my prayers , deuotions , and all other pious workes , and exercises : for which I aske him also hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , for that I haue beene proud & vaine glorious in my inward thoughts & cogitations : for which I aske God hartily pardō . I accuse my selfe , for that I haue beene very negligent in putting away euill thoughtes of sundry sorts , and haue not endeauoured to keep my mind occupyed in lawfull and Godly exercises , nor thought so humbly of my selfe , as I should haue done : for which I aske God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , that I haue not kept my senses in such narrownes & custody , as I ought to haue done , especially my eyes , and my eares : for which I aske God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , for that I haue not spoken of other men , and their affaires , with that care , charity , and affection , as I should haue done , but rather haue discouered their defects : for which I aske God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , that I haue not behaued my selfe so modestly in my actions , and conuersations as I should haue done , but haue spent many houres idly in desports , laughing , & idle discourses , without profit to my selfe or others : for which I aske God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , that in my workes I haue not purely sought Gods honour and glory , but rather some worldly respect , or selfe-content ●herein : for which I ask God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , that I haue not frequented the holy Sacraments of Confession , and Communion with that due preparatiō & reuerence , as I ought to haue done : nor heard Masse , or other spirituall Exhortations with that attentiō , and deuotion , as was fit for such diuine mysteryes : for which I aske God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , that I haue beene angry , melancholy , froward , stubborne , and very troublesome to others often tymes without cause : for which I aske God hartily pardon . I accuse my selfe , that in my talke and other discourses , I haue not beene so careful to keep my tongue from vttering of some vntruthes , nor from swearing by Fayth & Troth without necessity : for which I aske God hartily pardō . For these , and all my other sinnes and transgressions , wherinsoeuer , & howsoeuer els , I haue offended my Lord God : & also for those that at this present I haue forgotten , and through my negligence cannot call to remembrance , I aske him hartily pardon and forgiuenes , and of you my Ghostly Father , pēnance , and absolution . Ideo precor Beatam Mariam &c. Or , Therefore I beseech the blessed &c. If besides this ordinary method of Confessiō , thou shalt feele thy conscience troubled or burdened with these , or any other sinne , mortall or veniall , thou must expresse them distinctly & orderly , withall their due circūstances , to the end thy Ghostly Father may truly iudg of them , 〈◊〉 ●posing condign pennance , may absolue thee , according to the rites of the holy Catholike Church . A short prayer to be sayd presently after absolutio . LET , O Lord , I hūbly beseech thee , this my Confession be grateful and acceptable vnto thy diuine Maiesty , by the merites of 〈…〉 bitter death , and passiō and by the 〈…〉 of thy Blessed Mother , and all the Saints . And that whatsoeuer , now , or at other tymes hath been wanting in me , either to the sufficiency of Contritiō , or to the purity and integrity of my Confession , let thy piety , and mercy , O Lord , supply the same ; & according therunto , vouchsafe to absolue me more fully and perfectly in heauen . To whom be all honour and glory world without end . Amen . Sweet Iesus , Amen . A PRAYER BEFORE Receauing the B. Sacrament . O Most benigne Lord Iesus Christ , I a sinner presuming nothing on myne owne merites ▪ but trusting on thy mercy & goodnes do feare , and tremble to haue accesse to the table of thy most sweet banquet ▪ For I haue a hart , and body spotted with many crimes : a mind and tongue not warily guarded . Therfore o benigne deity , o dreadfull maiesty , I a wretch holde● in the●e straites , haue recourie vnto thee th● fountaine of mercy , I hastē to thee to be healed , I flye vnder thy protectiō : & he whom I cannot endure , a Iudge , I hope to haue a Sauiour . To thee , O Lord I shew my woūds : to thee I discouer my shame . I know my sins to be many , and great , for which I feare . I trust in thy mercyes , which are without number : looke downe vpon me with the eyes of thy mercy , o lord Iesu christ eternall King , God and man , crucified for man. Hear me graciously hoping in thee : haue mercy vpon me full of wretchednesse and sin : thou that wilt neuer restraine the fountain of thy pietie to flow . All haile healthfull sacrifice , offered vpon the tree of the Crosse for me , and all man-kind . All haile , O noble & pretions bloud gushing out of the woūdes of my Lord Iesus Christ crucifyed , & washing away the sinnes of the whole world . Remember , O Lord thy Creature , whome thou hast redeemed with thy bloud : it repenteth me , that I haue sinned , I desire to amend that which I haue done . Take away then from me , O most clement Father , al mine iniquities , and offences , that purified in mind & body , I may deserue worthily to tast the holy of holyes : and grant that this holy tasting of thy bodie and bloud , which I vnworthy , desire to receaue , may be a remission of my sins , a perfect purgation of my crimes , a driuing away of filthie cogitations , and a re-engendring of good thoughts , and also holesome efficacie of workes pleasing to thee , & withal a most firme protection of soule and body a-against the deceiptes of my enemyes . Amen . Another prayer before receauing the B. Sacrament . ALmighty & eternal God , behold I come to the Sacrament of thy only begotten Son , our Lord Iesus Christ. I repaire as one being sicke vnto the Phisitiā of life , as one vncleane vnto the fountaine of mercie , as one blind to the light of perpetuall brightnes , as one poore and needy to the Lord of heauen & earth . I besiech thee therfore by the aboūdance of thy infinite bounty , that thou wouldest vouchsafe to cure my infirmitity , to wash my filth , to enlighten my blindnes , to enrich my pouerty , to cloth my nakednes : that I may receaue thee , the bread of Angels , King of Kings , Lord of lords , with so great reuerence and humility , with so great contrition and deuotion , with so great puritie and faith , with such purpose and intent , as is expedient for the health of my soule : graunt me I beseech thee , not only to receaue the Sacramēt of our Lords body , and bloud , but also the thing and vertue thereof . O God most meeke , grant me so to take the body of thy only begottē Son our Lord Iesus Christ , which he tooke of the Virgin Marie ; that I may deserue to be incorporated to his misticall body , & accounted among the members therof . O most louing Father , grāt me for euer with open face to behold thy beloned Sonne , whome now couered in this wayfare , I desire to receaue . Who togeather with thee , and the Holy Ghost &c. A Prayer after receauing the B. Sacrament . I Giue thee thankes , O holy Lord , Father almighty , eternall God , who hast vouchsafed to replenish me a sinner thy vnworthy seruant , through no merites of myne , but by the only vouchsafing of thy mercy , with the pretious bodie and bloud of thy son our Lord Iesus Christ ; and I beseech thee , that this holy receauing , may not be to me as a guilt vnto punishment , but as a wholesome intercessiō vnto pardon . Let it be to me an armor of faith , & a shield of good will : let it be a cleansing of al my vices , a driuer out of concupiscence and lust , an increase of Charity , patience , humility , and obedience : a firme defēce against the wiles of all enemies , aswel visible as inuisible , a perfect quieting of my motions aswell carnall as spirituall , a firme cleauing vnto thee , one & true God : and a happy consumation of my end : and I beseech thee that thou wilt vouchsafe to bring me a sinner , vnto that vnspeakeable feast : where thou with thy Sonne and the holy Ghost , art a true ●ight to thy Saints , a complete fullnesse , an euerlasting gladnes , an absolute ioy , and a perfect felicity . Through Christ our Lord. Amen . Another prayer after receauing the B. Sacrament . PIerce through , o sweet Lord Iesu the marrow , and bowells of my soule , with the most sweete , and holsome wound of thy loue , with thy true , cleere , most ardent and holy Charity , that my soule may languish and melt , euen by the only loue and desire of thee ; let it couet thee , and euen languish after thee at thy gates ; let it desire to be dissolued , and to be with thee . Graunt that my soule may hunger after thee , the bread of Angels , the food of holy soules , our daily & supersubstantial bread , hauing all sweetnes , and sauour , and all delightfulnes in it selfe : let my hart alwaies hunger & eate thee , on whō the Angells desire to looke ; and let the bowels of ●●y soule be replenished with the sweetnes of thy tast● ▪ let it alwaies thirst after thee , the foūtain of life , the foūtain of wisedome & knowledg , the fountaine of eternal light , the riuer of pleasure , the plentifulnes of the house of God : let it alwayes earnestly couet thee , seek thee , and find thee ▪ let it tend to thee , come vnto thee , thinke vpō thee , speak of thee , and worke all things vnto the prayse & glory o● thy name , with humility , and discretion , with loue and delight , with facility and affectionwith perseuerance vnto the end : and thou alone be alwayes my hope , my whole confidence , my riches , my delight , my pleasures , my gladnes , my rest and tranquility , my peace , my security , my odour , my sweetnes , my meat , my food , my refuge , my help , my wisedome , my portion my profession , my treasure , in the which my mind & hart , is alwayes fixed , firme , and immoueably rooted . Amen . Another Prayer after receauing the B. Sacrament . O Lord Iesus Christ , I humbly bessech thy vnspeakable mercy , that this Sacramēt of thy b●by and bloud , which I ( vnworthy ) haue receaued , may be to me a purging of offences , a fortitude against frailtyes , a fortresse against the perils of the world , an obtaining of pardō , an establishment of grace , a medicine of life , a memory of thy passion , a nourishmēt against weakenes , & a rest of my pilgrimage .

O highest God , let the most blessed presence of thy body and bloud so alter the tast of my hart , that besides thee at any tyme it feele no sweetnesse , it loue no fairenes , it seeke no vnlawfull loue , it desire no consolation , it admit no delectation or pleasure , it care for no honour , it feare no cruelty . Who liuest and raignest , with God the Father , in the vnity of the Holy Ghost , world without end . Amen . BRIEFE MEDITATIONS FOR THE SEAVEN dayes of the VVeeke , In imitation of seauen vertues of our Blessed Sauiour . By the R. Father Luke Pinelli , of the Society of IESVS . SVNDAY . Of Christs Humility . 1. COnsider the humility , which the Son of God manifested in his Incarnation , in which for thee he annihilated himselfe , taking vpon him the form of a seruant , the Lord of Maiesty became thy seruant , to do thee seruice , he came downe heauen , where the Angells were attendant vpon him , & for an ample testimony of his humble seruice to thee , he pleased to be borne in a stable . 2. Consider , how this Lord of heauen , a while after hūbled himselfe much more in his Natiuity , when first he subiected his most tender and delicate body to circumcision , and declared himselfe as a sinner , and standing in need of a remedy ( for Circumcision was a signe of sin , and a remedy against it ) & he vouchsafed to nūber himselfe among sinners , al the world beholding it : and how more vile , and abiect could he make himselfe , then to take vpon him the forme of a seruant , and to be borne in a stable ? 3. Consider the great affection of humility , that our Sauiour exercised in Iordan , when he pleased to be baptized by S. Iohn Baptist , where contemning his own reputation , he stood amiddest base persons , and sinners , & was baptized by his Precursour as one of the multitude , and more contemptible sort . 4. Consider , how in his last supper , girding himselfe with a lynnen cloth , and falling downe vpon his knees before euery one of his Apostls , he washed their feet . At the strangenes of which fact , they were so astonished and confounded , as that S. Peter meruailing at it more then the rest , that the Sonne of God abased himselfe so farre , would not , that he should wash his feet . 5. Consider the humility , that the King of Glory declared in his death , when he disdayned not to be crucifyed out of Hierusalem , in the midst betweene two theeues , in the feast of the Pasche , whither the people were come from all partes in great number , by reasō of the feast ; where he made a representation of the shamefullnes of his most ignominious death to the view of the whole world , when as at another tyme he made a manifestation of some little part of his glory to three of his discipls alone in the desert ; neither yet , while he liued , would speake any word at al touching this matter . This Meditation being ended , you that turne the eyes of your mind vpō your selfe , and you shall stir vp these 〈◊〉 most profitable and practicall documents . 1. SInce that the K. of heauē , & my Lord hath humbled himselfe so many waies , is it meet that I the seruant , and a most vile worme of the earth , should extold my selfe ? 2. Neither ought I to make outwardly any more reckoning of my selfe , then I am in very deed . 3. Neither is it meet , that for the conseruing and entertaining of a vaine reputation of my name & credit , I should abandon , or giue ouer the care of my soule . 4. I must not in any sort withdrawe my selfe frō the exercise of those thinges , which I haue giuen ouer . 5. I ought not also to conceale and keep hidden those thinges , that may serue for my mortification , or to propose to the view of all men those thinges , that are wonte to turne to my honour . MVNDAY . Of the Obedience of Christ. 1. COnsider , what the Apostle saith of Christ : He was made obediēt euen vnto death yea to obey the precepts of the law , wherunto he was not bound at all ; & he refused no aduersityes , torments , & ignominyes , such as he suffered in his circumcision , and in his whole sacred passion . 2. Consider , how he being the only Sonne of God , and the wisedome of the Eternall Father , was most obedient to his Mother , and to S. Ioseph his reputed Father . And though he were for infinite causes more holy , & more wise then they , yet he neuer resisted against that they commāded , nor murmured against them , nor censured them , but with greatest humility & promptitude executed , and did whatsoeuer they commanded him . 3. Consider the great affection , wherwith our Sauiour tēdred the vertue of Obedience , for which from the very beginning he protested to all , that he came into the world not to do his owne will , but the will of his Father . And therfore in another place he called Obedience his meate , and therby he signifyed , that it was greatly pleasing vnto him . 4. Consider , how he loued obedience , whiles he not only considered not the person of him who commanded , nor also the difficulty of the thing commanded , but was further obedient to his enemyes , who tormented him in his Passion , and treated him most ignominiously , when they crowned him with thornes . For being willed to strip himselfe of his garmentes , he delayed not to doe it : willed to sit downe , he obeyed : when the crown of thornes was put vpon his head , he contradicted not , and he tooke the Reed in his hand , that was giuen him for a Scepter . 5. Consider , how the Lord of the Vniuerse obeyed without any reply , or further appeale ; in so much as he vsed not the very least word , & accepted of the most vniust sentēce of death , vniustly pronounced against him by his peruerse Iudges : and being willed by the Ministers , and officers to carry his owne Crosse , he gladly did it , and tooke it vpon his bruized and torne shoulders , and with it vpon his necke , as another obedient Isaac , he went vp to mount Caluary , there to be sacrificed for our sinnes . The documents , that may be gathered of this Meditation , be , that we omit nothing defectiue against obedience . 1 SInce the Sonne of God , without any obligation at all , obeyed with so great promptitude , what shall be my punishment , if I shall not be obedient vnto him , to whome I am bound ? 2. How grieuous shal my sinne be , if I shall peraduenture murmure or rise against the commandmentes of them , who haue power ouer me ? 3. What excuse can I pretend , if for the doing of myne owne will , I neglect the will and pleasure of my Lord God ? 4. How great a shame and confusion will it be to me , if , that I may not endure any aduersity , I shall contemne to obey ? 5. Who shall exempt me from confusion , and fault , if I shall iarre and contend with him , who is my Superiour , & if , which is worse , I shal censure that vniust which is cōmanded me ? TVESDAY . Of Christ his Patience . 1. COnsider , how Christ our lord , from the very instant , that he came into the world , began to exercise patience . For when there was not any found in all Bethleem , that would receaue his Mother into their house , he was forced to make choice of a poore Cot for the place of his natiuity , where the Manger serued for his bed , & cradle to lye in . Consider what manner of intertainment he had , when his Mother was but a yong Virgin , a poore stranger , and wearyed by the payns of her long iourney , in the midest of winter , in a poore stable , in the night tyme and from home and out of her countrey . 2. Consider , how he was no sooner borne , thē that he was persecuted , when he was forced to flye into Aegypt because Herod sought his life , & to make him away Consider , how many miseryes & aduersityes , the poore little child suffered in so long and paynfull a iourney , and in Aepypt , a strange and barbarous coūtrey , wher he liued in a most poore manner for some yeares by the labours & paines of S. Ioseph , & his poore Mother . 3. Consider the patience , that the Iewes put him vnto , when they often called him a seducer of the people , seditious , a Magitian , & raiser vp of Diuels , an enemy of God , blasphemer , a preuaricatour , & transgressour of the Law , & gaue out that he was a drinker of wine : sometymes in a fury they rose against him , and had a desire one tyme to stone him , another tyme to thrust him downe headlong from the top of an hill : but our meeke Iesus is not recorded either to haue reuenged himselfe of so great iniuryes , or to haue been incensed at al against the ingratefull people , but to haue studyed to do them good euery way . 4. Consider , how patient he was in al his dolourous passion . When he was layed hand on in the garden , and carryed away , as a thiefe bound fast ; was in the sight of Annas censured for arrogant , and receaued that vnworthy buffet at the hands of a most vile bound-slaue : Caiphas held him for a blasphemer , and Herod for a foole ; and being treated for such an one , he endured all without any perturbation of mind , and with exceeding patience . Consider the singular acts of patience , which our Sauiour exercised in the house of Pilate , where he was boūd fast to a pillar , scourged as some notorious malefactour , scorned & mocked in putting on the crowne of thornes vpon his head , grieuously payned therewith , his diuin face not only buffeted , but also defiled with most loathsome spittle ; and when he had much a do to stand , they forced him to carry his own crosse , whereon he was nailed , and did hang till death . All this & much more our Lord suffered with so great patience , as he complained not at al. Of this Meditation you shall conceaue a confusion and shame , for that you haue suffered so little , or nothing at all for our Lord , who hath suffered so much , & so great matters for vs. 1. THov who seeest , how much thy Sauiour hath endured for thee , say now , who dost complayne so much , what thou hast suffered for him ? 2. Thou hast not yet from the first instant of thy natiuity begun to suffer . 3. Thou hast not yet beene persecuted vnto death , nor against all equity and conscience . 4. Thou hast not byn scourged , nor crowned with thorns , nor nayled to a crosse , nor so much as shed one droppe of bloud for thy Creatour . 5. What manner of patience is thyne , when for euery little aduersity , or word , thou art troubled , or fillest the ayre with complaints ? WEDNESDAY . Of Christ his Meeknes 1. COnsider , how the Scripture sayd of Christ to the Countrey of Iury : Loe thy King commeth vnto thee , meeke . For where the worlds desert was , that our lord shold haue come downe from heauen , armed with the sword of Iustice , to take vengeance on the iniquityes of it , he descended all benigne , and gentle , that he might redresse it , and giue a remedy vnto it by meeknes , and not chasten it with the seuerity , and rigour of his diuin iustice . 2. Cōsider , how Christ was most meek towards his disciples , and gently bare with their defects , when they contented about the primacy amōg themselues : when they were angry with Mary Magdalen , at her annoynting his head with precious oyntment : whē they forsook him , in the garden , when-he was betrayed into the Iewes hands . For in these and the like defects Christ , out of his Gentlenes , chose rather meekly and benignly to blame them the in a more seuere māner , to checke them by shar● reprehension . 3. Consider the meeknes , that he vsed towards the Scribes & Pharisies his enemyes , who calūniated his workes , and iniustly persecuted him , affirming that he droue out vncleane spirits in the power of Beelzebub : when he pardoned him , his sins , who was troubled with the palsey , and that he blasphemed : & that he had a diuell , whē he reprehended them . For our Lord by answering with mildnes to these & other their like calumniatiōs , confounded their ill meaning , boldnes , and ouermuch presumption . 4. Consider further , how our Lord discouered his meeknes in the presence of the Diuell . For he permitted himselfe to be tempted of him , and though he best knew the peruerse wil of the bad and malignant spirit , and might at the first haue confounded him , put him to silence , and driuen him away ; yet he chose rather to ouercome him with mild answeres , and in that manner to controle the extreme boldnes of the infernall friend . 5. Consider the wonderfull signes of meekenes , that Christ vsed towards Iudas , who betrayed him . For though he knew that he had sold him for money , yet he louingly admitted him to his table , washed his feete , and when the houre was come , that he deliuered him into the handes of his enemyes , he friendly imbraced him , permitted him to giue him a kisse , and by calling him friend , in a mild manner wished him to remember himselfe , and did put him in mind of the sin , that he then committed . Finally like a meek lambe he suffered himselfe to be bound , and to be lead whithersoeuer his Aduersaries thought best . The fruit of this meditation shal be to vnderstand the defect and want of meeknes , that lyeth hid in thee , and to take paines for the gayning of it . 1. HOw farre thou comest short of thy meeke master Iesus , who art not able to bear with the very least defect in thy Neighbours ? 2. How little thy meekenes is , who art angry at euery least word , and threatnest therfore . 3. What wouldst thou now doe , if calumnyes were raised against thee , or that thou wert iustly persecuted . 4. What wouldst thou do , if thou wert sold , & betrayed of him , who had receaued singular benefits at thy hands , as Christ our lord was sold and betrayed of his disciple Iudas , vpon whom he had cōferred so great benefits ? THVRSDAY . Of Christs contempt of the world . 1. COnsider , how our Sauiour cōtemned all those things , that men of the world desire and seeke after . For first he contemned the riches of this world , and lead so poore a life , as he would not haue possessiō of any earthly thing at all , but liuing of almes , was contented with those thinges , that were necessary for his state of pouerty , and for cloathing . 2. Consider , how he despised al pleasures and carnall delectations . For the Iewes , who had treated him ignominiously many wayes , neuer durst infame him touching Chastity , which he so plainely demonstrated in his very face , as it induced and moued euery one , who beheld him , to chastity , and purity of life . 3. Consider , how he not only contemned the honours & dignityes of this world , but also , at what tyme the Iewes would once haue made him King , he accepted it not , but went away from them , as from his enemyes , declyning all other titles & dignityes whatsoeuer . And therefore he prescribed vnto his Apostles , that the greater of them should be the others seruant : & therof he had giuen thē an instance before , and had giuen answere to Zebedeus his sonnes , who made petition vnto him for an earthly dignity , that they knew not what they asked . 4. Consider , how he contemned the pleasurs & contentments , which worldly men so greedily seeke after ; and thereupon some called him a Carpenter , because he assisted S. Ioseph in his Carpenters trade : and arriuing to 30. years of age , he withdrew himself into the desert , wher he punished his most innocēt flesh with very soare pennance ; and all the remnant of his life after , euer trauailed in procuring the soules health of his neighbors . 5. Cōsider , how cheerfully he imbraced the things , which this blind world conceaueth so great an horrour of , and flyeth from ; that is , he made no reckoning of iniuryes , reproaches , disgraces , tribulations : contempt , and to be reputed a foole ; he neuer sought to be reuenged , as the world doth : and when as by the very least signe he might haue punished his enemyes , he would not doe it , but with a great & generous mind forgaue all them who had offended him . ●y this meditation you shall learne to know your inward affections , for the gouerning and moderating thereof , as is most fitting . 1. HEnce you may learne , whether you follow the standard of the World , or of christ . For if you in hart desire more , then is necessary , or be carryed away with carnall pleasures , with an affection to be honoured and esteemed of men , & with the vanityes of this life ; a signe it is , that in affection you follow the world though you make out-wardly neuer so great●shew to the contrary . 2. But if your care be to please your Sauiour , and to be like him , and willingly imbrace tribu●ations , and loue to be mocked & contemned ; ●t is a signe , that you are a good souldier , and the true disciple of Christ. FRIDAY . Of Christs Charity towards his Neighbours . 1. COnsider , how the Sonne of God , whereas he was in Heauen adored of the Angels , neither stood in neeed of any thing , but was most happy & blessed in himselfe , pleased to vndergoe the person of a needy man , exposed to a thousand aduersityes and dangers , tha● he might in this calamitous banishment be ou● maister & conductour whereunto not his owne profit , and vtility , bu● his sincere and earnest loue towards vs moued him . 2. Consider , how our Sauiour thought it not inough to haue take on him mans nature for vs , but also , whē he saw that it was not within the cōpasse of our weake abilityes to satisfy the diuine iustice for our faults & transgressions , he layed all vpon his own shoulders , and abundantly satisfyed for all mankind And though his satisfaction was superabundāt , where one drop of bloud had beene more then inough , yet he shed all . 3. Cōsider how , thogh he foresaw there would be many who would not acknowledg this so great a benefit , & would shew thēselues vnworthy of so great charity , he did not for all that cease to loue vs , nor loued vs the lesse , neither reiected he the ingratefull from being capable of his benefits , but as the inexhaust Goodnes , as he was indeed , most munificently , & most liberally bestowed himself vpon al. 4. Consider the pains trauailes , and troubles , which Christ endured for helping his Neighbours , & you shall giue a gesse at the greatnes of his Charity For he trauayled from one castle to another on foot , and from one Synagogue to another , shewing vnto all the way of saluation : he neither feared , nor regarded any aduersityes at all , so he might preach the kingdome of heauē to the multitude . And therfore among other thinges , though he were wearied of his iourney , and it were very late he yet cheerfully refused meate , whereof he stood in much need , that he might conuert the Samaritan woman . 5. Consider the great loue , which our Sauiour shewed towards vs , whē in the end he loued vs so as he left himselfe vnto vs in the most holy Sacrament of the Altar . Neither did he leaue vs any lesser testimony of his loue in his sacred passiō , who to set vs free from the bondage of the Diuell , and the miseryes of sin , endured the most cruell tormentes that euer were : and while he hanged vpon the crosse , prayed to his heauēly father for his Crucifiers , & excused them in these wordes : Father forgiue them , for they know not what they doe . Heere turne your eyes vpon your selfe , and by comparing your selfe with Christ , you shall stir vp your soule to the loue of your neighbour , which is the fruit of this Meditation . 1. VVILL you know how great your Charity towardes your neyghbours is ? Examin it with that , which you doe for them , and you shal find it to be as great as be the trauails , payns , & incommodityes , that you take & suffer in helping them . 2. If thou dost good neither to the soule , nor body of thy neighbors , neither hast wil to withdraw the very least thing from thy selfe for their profit : and if what thou doest , thou do it therefore because it turneth to thyne owne vtility , what manner of Charity is that of thine ? 3. He that hath true charity , wisheth spirituall good to his neighbour , as to himselfe , prayeth to God for him , assisteth him in his necessityes as he is able , and willingly forgiueth him , wherein he hath offended him . SATVRDAY . Of Christs diligence in spirituall matters . 1. COnsider , how diligent our Sauiour was in obseruatiō of the law , no otherwise thē if he had byn boūd . For the eight day he was circumcised , and the 40. day he was presented in the Temple ; at euery time of the yeare , as it was appointed , he went vp to Hierusalem , according to the custome to worship God there : and he euer respected S. Ioseph , and his Mother , as the law commanded . 2. Consider how , whē he was to preach pennance to others , he wold first of al experience it in himselfe . For after his Baptisme , he retyred into the desert , where he gaue himselfe most diligently , with fasting , and punishing of his owne body , to contemplation , & to other spirituall exercises . 3. Consider how after his returne from out of the desert he begun to preach , & with an amiable diligence endeauoured to shew the way of saluation to all . To the infirm he gaue doudle health both of body , and of spirit ; he reproued vice , he exhorted to vertue : he went vp and downe from place to place , that he might help many . To be short that he might do good , he spared no pains at al. 4. Consider , how his wil also was , that his disciples should be diligent in doing of good works . For he oftē sent thē forth to the adioyning castles to preach , to cast forth Diuells , to cure the sicke and diseased , and therefore he often exhorted them to great Charity , for he best of all knew , that such diligence was the mother , and beginning of all spirituall workes . 5. Consider , how diligent , and serious he was in prayer ; and when as by day , by reason of his ouermuch busines , wherwith he was detayned in preaching , and in the conuersion of his neighbors , he could not pray , he attended to prayer by night , and as S. Luke sayth , he spent the night in the prayer of God. And this is also manifest , for that , before he began his passion , in great humility and earnestnes he addressed his prayer thrice vnto his heauenly Father ; and in the expiration of his life he pleased to end it , and to dye in praying ; namely , while he did hang vpon the Crosse , he prayed first for his persecutours , and in saying : Into thy hands , O Lord , I commend my spirit , he gaue vp his Ghost . The fruit , that is to be gathered of this Meditation . 1. IF the Sonne of God were so diligent , not for any profit that were to redound to himselfe , why shouldst not thou be confoūded , who art so negligent in matters of spirit , that were prescribed for the good of thy soule . 2. What will it help thee , if thou be circumspect in temporall and transitory things , & shalt be negligent in prayer , mortification , pennance , and other spirituall functions ? 3. Thou art also deceaued , if thou be diligent in thy particuler deuotions , and slouthfull , and drowsy in the obseruation of the commandements of God , & of the Church . 4. If thou desire to attaine to a diligence in spiritual matters , endeauour to loue them , for that the more thou shalt be affected vnto them , the more diligent wilt thou be inprocuring thē . ANNOTATIONS . FOR the due performing of the former Meditations it is to be vnderstood , that the Vertues of our Sauiour may be meditated vpon , three manner of wayes . 1. First , that we may vnderstand their nature and perfection , as the Philosophers vse to contemplate the heauens for the vnderstanding of their nature . 2. Secondly , for the praysing , & magnifying of him , who had so excellent vertues . And this second manner is both more noble , and more gratefull to God ; for that it hath a more excellent , and a more perfect end , that is , the praysing of Gods Godnes . 3. Thirdly , for imitation , and purchasing of thē : & this is the best māner of all , and more excellent then the other two , and more pleasing to God. For besides that , that it comprehendeth the excellency of the two other , it hath withall a most noble end , which maketh a man like vnto the sonne of God. And that is , the greatest perfection of all , that a reasonable creature hath , or can haue in this life . Moreouer in this manner be exercised the three powers of the soule . The Memory layeth before the eyes Christs life , as the acts of vertue● , which he exercised , whiles he liued . The Vnderstanding discourseth about the vertues , and the qualityes of then● . And the Wil to the same vertues applyeth Affection which helpeth to the attayning of those vertues , for in that in which a thing is loued , in that it is sought for to be attained . The vtilityes of his last manner be diuers . 1. The first purgeth the soule from vices . For while the vertues are planted , the vices are destroyed in it . 2. The second restoreth it to the former beauty , and seemlynes , and directeth it : for that by the vertues the passions are brought backe againe to their naturall order , that they doe no more , then what they are swayed vnto by reason . 3. The third illuminateth : for that the soule informed , and furnished with vertues , and not troubled with passions , both seeth , discerneth , & iudgeth the better . 4. The fourth maketh it gratefull to the Creatour , and to all other creatures , sith there is nothing , that maketh a man so amiable , as doth vertue , which draweth the very enemyes to loue and admire it . 5. The fifth enricheth it with merits , for that all the vertuous acts of him , who is in grace , be meritorious . And the way of reaping some fruit in these Meditations , is this , that a man put on an effectuall , and earnest desire of attayning the said vertues , for from this desire proceedeth the exercise therof , which is the principall , and only way to purchase them . Wherfore vpon Sunday he , who meditateth of the humility of Christ , must exercise many acts of Humility . Vpon Munday , he must exercise acts of Obedience , and so of the rest . It is not euer necessary to meditate vpon all the fiue points of the Meditation , but it is inough to insist vpon one , or two , and oftentymes in the day to exercise the vertue , that be hath meditated vpon , & to craue grace of God to go forwardes therein , euery day more and more .

The beginning of the Ghospell , according to S. Iohn . Glory be to thee , O Lord. IN the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , & God was the Word . This was in the beginning with God. All thinges were made by him : and without him was made nothing , which was made . In him was life , and the life was the light of men : and the light shineth in darkenesse , and darknesse did not comprehend it . There was a man sent from God , whose name was Iohn . This mā came for testimony , to giue testimony of the light , that all might belieue through him . He was not the light , but to giue testimony of the light . It was true light which lightneth euery mā that cōmeth into this world . He was in the World , & the World was made by him , and the World knew him not . He came into his owne , and his owne receaued him not . But as many as receaued him , he gaue them power to be made the Sōnes of God , to those that belieue in his Name : who not of bloud , nor of the will of the flesh , nor of the will of man , but of God are borne . And the Word was made flesh , and dwelt in vs ( and we saw the glory of him , glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father ) full of grace and verity . Thankes be to God.
