Sir , THe Lord of Antrim is not in the Rebellion as yet , but is much mistrusted . hee will bee by reason hee is now gone to the County of Kildare , where at the first this businesse was begun : the Rebels would willingly come in : if they could but once heare of a Proclamation , that they should have the liberty of their conscience , for some such thing they much expect , if they be not mistaken of their ayme . Sir , this Prayer I took out of a Rebels pocket that I kiled , one Iames Rauley , a Captaine of the Rebels , who cryed for quarter , when I had sheathed my sword in his bowels , fearing I should be too troublesome . I rest now what I alwayes was , Sir , your most obedient and most affectionate servant till death . From Dublin this tenth of February 1641. THis Oraison was found on the Tombe of our blessed Lady , and is of such effect , that whosoever will have the same , or say it daily , or carry it about him , shall be safe from fire , water , and skirmish of battaile , and also from noysome hanting of spirits . Moreover , whosoever shall say a Pater , Ave , and Creed , daily to the honor of holy and miraculous Virgin Mary , shee will visibly shew her self unto him 3-times before his death . O Most sweet Lord Jesus Christ , only Son of the omnipotent . Father , God of Angels , and onely Sonne of the most gracious Virgin Mary , helpe me a sinner , and save me from all present dangers wherein I am . Most excellent and blessed Virgin to be praised , to pray and vvi for me a miserable sinner to thy welbeloved Son . O chast and honourable womm , thou art the Mother of Angels and Archangels , helpe me from all present evils , and all to come . O flower of Patriarcks . O shining brightnesse of the Apostles . O hope of glory . O beauty fo Virgins . O high thoughts of Angels and Archangels . O most sweet woman , I most humbly beseech thee not to for sake me at the trembling time of my death , when my soule shall be separated from my body , whereby I may see my selfe in everlasting glory by him . O flower and sweetest foundation of sweetnesse . O star of Christ . O haven of health ▪ O Queene of penitent offenders , Hope of the faithfull Archangels . Thou whose conversation is the onely recreation of the Angels & Archangels . O most honourable Lady of all sweetnesse and fortitude , thou art the most wholesom'st medicine for all sores . Thou a●● the labour of all vertues , through thee doe ever Angels and Archangels rejoyce . O Mother of mercy , looke on me with thine owne mercifull eyes . And I commit me to thy most blessed armes , to inspire my soule and body , and my thoughts , so thus it pleaseth thee and thine owne beloved Sonne Jesus Christ . Pater , Ave , and Creed . MOst glorious Virgin , let thy flowing grace defend me from the danger of each place , grant that thy merits once may make me rise from Tombe , above the spangled cristall Skie , grant to my Countrey , I may so well end , that I may praise thee eternally .
