R.
B.
Prefect
of
the
Arch-Confraternity
of
the
ROSARIE
,
in
the
Oratory
of
the
ever
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
,
Mother
of
Power
,
in
the
City
of
Amsterdam
,
wisheth
eternall
health
and
happiness
to
the
devout
Rosarists
.
HOnoured
,
Zealous
,
and
Religious
Brethren
and
Sisters
!
The
service
which
I
have
long
since
promised
and
protested
to
the
ever
blessed
Virgin
Mary
(
the
glorious
Mother
of
my
God
,
The
Great
Queen
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
The
Powerfull
Patroness
of
all
Mankind
,
The
Soveraign
Mistris
of
our
Arch-Confraternity
,
)
and
the
Place
and
Title
of
Prefect
,
which
I
(
though
most
unworthy
)
possess
amongst
you
,
hath
put
this
days
discourse
into
my
mouth
.
A
discourse
,
not
directly
tending
to
the
Reformation
of
your
Lives
,
Manners
,
and
Conversations
,
(
which
were
a
design
in
me
as
presumptuous
,
as
improper
,
a
matter
as
far
above
my
Sphear
,
as
beyond
my
Ability
;
A
task
,
which
our
worthy
Dean
painfully
and
carefully
performs
,
to
our
great
comfort
and
profit
,
in
his
pious
Exercises
and
Orations
.
)
But
a
discourse
,
ayming
at
these
two
ends
;
To
declare
,
what
the
Rosary
is
,
And
what
it
is
to
be
of
the
Rosary
:
To
describe
the
Dignity
of
this
our
Confraternity
,
and
the
Duty
of
us
,
who
are
ascribed
into
this
holy
Society
,
to
shew
you
how
fitly
it
is
by
us
embraced
,
and
how
faithfully
we
ought
to
behave
our selves
in
it
.
O
Sacred
Spirit
,
by
whose
Conduct
our
pious
Predecessors
laid
the
happy
foundation
of
this
most
renowned
Confraternity
,
inspire
my
understanding
to
conceive
something
worthy
so
high
a
Subject
;
Enable
my
tongue
to
speak
something
beseeming
the
blessed
Virgins
prayses
;
Direct
my
Pen
,
to
couch
something
for
her
devout
Childrens
comfort
,
encouragement
,
edification
.
Man
being
by
nature
a
Sociable
Creature
,
is
inclined
by
the
principles
of
his
Essence
,
by
the
temper
of
his
complexion
,
by
the
violence
of
his
originall
disposition
,
to
seek
out
some
Consorts
and
Companions
of
his
own
kind
and
condition
,
to
the
end
he
may
solace
himself
in
their
Society
,
Conduct
his
lives
course
by
their
Counsell
,
and
Communicate
with
them
his
affairs
and
affections
.
And
his
naturall
propension
to
Society
,
is
that
which
hath
civiliz'd
Mankind
,
policy'd
the
whol
World
,
built
up
Cities
,
order'd
Commonwealths
,
and
Kingdoms
,
and
which
conserves
all
things
in
their
due
order
and
union
.
God
the
Soveraign
Creator
of
all
things
,
who
ingrav'd
this
powerfull
instinct
of
Society
in
mans
Soul
,
as
a
disposition
connaturall
to
his
life
and
being
.
A
condition
necessary
for
the
conservation
,
entertainment
,
and
common
good
of
the
whole
Vniverse
.
A
qualitie
,
which
he
made
recommendable
from
the
first
origin
of
time
,
not
onely
amongst
his
own
people
,
(
as
may
appear
in
the
Law
of
Nature
,
and
the
Law
written
,
but
even
amongst
the
Pagans
,
Idolaters
,
and
most
barbarous
Nations
,
(
as
might
be
exemplified
out
of
all
profane
Annalls
and
Histories
,
)
would
not
have
it
perish
in
the
law
of
Grace
,
but
cutting
off
the
abuse
,
permitted
the
use
thereof
to
be
continued
and
preserved
for
the
good
of
his
Church
,
for
the
salvation
of
Christian
Souls
,
for
the
solace
and
support
of
his
faithfull
Servants
.
And
therefore
he
hath
from
time
to
time
excited
pious
people
to
assemble
themselves
together
(
for
the
inflaming
of
one
anothers
Zeal
,
Fervour
,
and
devotion
,
for
their
mutuall
assistance
and
consolation
,
for
the
increase
of
each
others
merit
and
vertue
)
To
live
soberly
,
piously
,
justly
,
under
the
discreet
Laws
,
Rules
,
and
Ordinances
,
of
one
common
Society
,
Congregation
,
Confraternity
.
And
surely
,
our
blessed
Redeemer
himself
,
(
to
begin
at
the
fountain
head
of
all
Sanctity
,
the
exemplary
pattern
of
all
Perfection
,
)
descending
from
Heaven
to
accomplish
on
Earth
the
sacred
design
,
which
he
decreed
from
all
Eternitie
,
(
as
if
this
point
had
been
one
of
the
Prime
and
principall
projects
of
his
Incarnation
;
)
seems
to
aym
at
nothing
more
than
the
establishment
of
unity
in
number
,
Union
in
division
,
Peace
and
Charity
amongst
men
.
This
was
his
Life
,
his
Preaching
,
his
Practice
,
to
put
down
Schismes
,
Divisions
,
Partialities
,
and
to
Imprint
in
Christians
hearts
,
the
love
of
Concord
,
and
the
Honour
of
a
happy
Confraternity
.
For
what
is
more
frequently
inculcated
in
the
Sacred
Gospells
,
in
the
Epistles
,
Decrees
,
Constitutions
of
the
Apostles
,
in
the
whol
Volumes
of
the
holy
Bible
,
than
Peace
,
Charity
,
Fraternity
?
What
greater
precept
did
Christ
impose
upon
all
Christians
,
than
when
he
said
,
I
give
you
a
new
Command
to
love
one
another
,
adding
immediately
,
In
this
the
World
shall
know
you
to
be
my
Disciples
,
if
you
are
united
in
affection
?
Mutuall
charity
is
the
manifest
Signet
of
Christianity
,
the
Royall
Ensign
of
my
Religion
,
the
true
badg
of
Piety
,
the
particular
livery
of
my
Children
,
the
distinguishing
mark
of
my
faithfull
followers
,
friends
,
and
favourites
.
In
obedience
to
this
command
,
we
find
registred
in
holy
Writ
,
that
the
first
Christians
were
so
perfectly
linked
together
in
holy
love
and
affection
,
as
their
whol
multitude
seemed
to
have
but
one
Heart
,
and
one
Soul
;
They
liv'd
under
the
same
Laws
,
aym'd
at
the
same
End
,
conspir'd
in
the
same
Wills
;
their
Manners
,
their
Devotions
,
their
Designs
,
their
Rules
,
their
way
of
Living
,
was
all
one
and
the
same
,
all
Love
,
all
Peace
,
all
Vnion
;
all
tending
to
Gods
honour
and
service
,
all
ayming
at
their
Souls
perfection
and
Salvation
:
Briefly
,
they
entred
into
a
Community
&
Association
of
all
things
,
and
seem
to
have
been
reduc'd
into
a
most
perfect
manner
of
Sodality
,
Congregation
,
or
Confraternity
.
In
imitation
of
Christ
,
and
these
primitive
Christians
,
St.
Mark
the
Evangelist
presently
after
instituted
sacred
Sodalities
and
Confraternities
in
Egypt
;
And
from
these
blessed
fountains
have
since
flowed
so
many
holy
Families
of
Religious
,
so
many
Confraternities
of
Seculars
,
which
have
flourished
in
all
succeeding
Ages
,
in
all
places
,
amongst
all
Christians
;
descending
from
these
pious
Parents
to
their
Children
,
from
these
holy
Predecessors
into
the
hearts
of
their
Posterity
.
These
worthy
Examples
(
I
say
)
have
since
moved
many
generous
Captains
,
(
Fervent
in
Gods
love
,
Disgusted
with
worldly
vanities
,
Ardent
in
devotion
,
Ambitious
of
Vertue
,
Piety
and
Perfection
,
)
to
take
up
the
like
Commissions
,
(
sent
them
from
Heaven
,
and
warranted
by
the
effectuall
inspiration
of
the
divin
Spirit
;
)
And
with
the
sound
of
the
Drumms
and
Trumpets
of
their
Doctrin
,
to
summon
valiant
Soldiers
together
,
To
draw
Companies
of
zealous
Christians
from
out
of
Cities
into
Solitudes
,
where
free'd
from
worldly
cares
,
affairs
,
and
affections
,
they
might
with
hearts
unanimously
joyned
,
serve
their
Creator
,
and
day
and
night
sing
forth
his
prayses
.
Such
were
those
great
Generalls
of
Religious
orders
,
those
Glorious
Patriarks
of
Monasticall
Congregations
,
those
Heroique
Champions
of
the
holy
Church
,
St.
Basil
in
Greece
,
St.
Augustin
in
Africk
,
St.
Bennet
in
Europe
.
Such
after
them
were
those
multitudes
of
like
Religious
and
resolute
Spirits
,
St.
Bruno
in
France
,
St.
Francis
in
Italy
,
St.
Dominick
in
Spain
,
and
many
more
in
the
same
and
other
Countryes
;
Who
forsaking
the
World
,
following
the
divine
Call
,
flying
into
the
Desarts
,
laid
the
foundations
of
so
many
blessed
Societies
,
Sodalities
,
Confraternities
.
Others
breathing
the
like
Zeal
and
Pietie
,
but
not
able
(
by
reason
of
their
worldly
calling
and
condition
)
to
embrace
the
like
purity
and
perfection
:
(
yet
willing
to
secure
themselves
from
dangers
,
zealous
to
get
(
at
least
)
some
degree
of
Sanctity
,
and
desirous
of
the
Salvation
of
their
Souls
:
)
have
also
united
themselves
together
,
entred
into
a
holy
combination
and
Society
,
resolved
to
wear
the
same
livery
,
to
pursue
the
same
designs
,
to
live
under
the
same
Common
Laws
and
Constitutions
.
Such
are
the
brave
Knights
of
Malta
in
Italie
,
of
the
Holy
Ghost
in
France
,
of
St.
James
in
Spain
:
and
such
were
,
and
should
be
,
the
Knights
of
St.
George
in
our
England
;
All
which
having
Kings
for
their
Colonels
,
may
be
fitly
called
Royall
Congregations
,
Noble
Societies
,
and
yet
are
still
Christian
Confraternities
.
This
pious
practice
descends
from
Princes
to
the
People
,
and
branches
it self
into
almost
as
many
Societies
,
as
there
are
severall
Estates
,
Callings
,
and
Conditions
in
a
Commonwealth
;
The
Lawyers
taking
Saint
Yve
for
their
Patron
;
the
Doctors
St.
Thomas
,
the
Students
St.
Nicholas
;
the
Gold-smiths
S.
Eligius
;
the
Carpenters
St.
Joseph
;
the
Stationers
or
Booksellers
St.
John
the
Evangelist
;
and
others
,
other
Saints
.
Some
march
under
the
Standard
of
the
Passion
,
others
of
the
Blessed
Sacrament
;
others
of
the
Crosse
,
many
of
the
Glorious
Virgin
;
all
of
the
Catholique
Church
;
which
is
Colonell-Generall
of
all
these
particular
Companies
,
and
which
sits
as
Mistriss
of
the
full
Musick
,
which
these
severall
faithfull
Societies
make
up
by
striking
the
severall
strings
of
their
various
rules
,
divers
statutes
,
and
different
institutions
,
one
singing
the
Superius
of
contemptation
;
another
the
Bassus
of
the
active
life
;
A
Third
,
the
Mean
,
Marrying
action
with
contemplation
,
yet
all
agreeing
in
the
same
harmonie
of
Faith
,
all
ayming
at
the
same
common
end
,
which
is
Gods
glory
,
their
Neighbours
good
,
their
own
Souls
Perfection
,
and
Eternall
Salvation
.
And
all
these
faithfull
Societies
,
Companies
&
Confraternities
of
devout
Christians
founded
upon
Charity
,
Concord
,
and
Vnion
;
Govern'd
with
prudence
and
discretion
,
cannot
but
subsist
with
Honour
,
flourish
with
Admiration
,
and
adorn
the
whol
body
of
Christianity
.
These
are
the
Buttresses
of
Religion
,
the
Academies
of
Vertue
,
the
Schools
of
Sanctity
,
the
Magazins
of
Merits
,
the
Rendevous
of
Heroique
Spirits
,
the
lists
wherein
all
sorts
of
devotion
and
piety
are
perfectly
exercised
and
practised
.
Here
is
taught
simplicity
of
Conversation
,
Humility
of
life
,
Charity
,
Mercy
,
Compassion
,
Brotherly
affection
towards
our
necessitous
Neighbours
,
Forgetfulness
of
injuries
,
Patience
in
tribulation
,
Zeal
for
Gods
honour
and
glory
.
O
how
good
and
pleasant
a
thing
it
is
,
(
sings
holy
David
,
)
to
behold
Brethren
living
together
,
and
loving
one
another
!
O
the
Spirituall
pleasure
,
Profit
and
Comfort
of
well
ordered
Confraternities
!
How
full
of
honour
and
happiness
!
How
gratefull
to
men
and
Angels
,
to
heaven
and
earth
!
and
how
terrible
,
to
our
ghostly
enemies
!
Where
holy
souls
heat
each
other
in
the
divin
love
,
help
each
other
in
bearing
the
burthen
of
their
crosses
and
calamities
;
awake
each
others
negligence
and
tepidity
,
excite
their
fervour
,
increase
their
piety
,
zeal
,
and
devotion
!
Where
if
one
member
be
tempted
,
troubled
,
afflicted
,
the
whol
body
concurrs
by
joyn'd
prayers
and
petitions
to
cure
him
,
comfort
him
,
encourage
him
in
his
combat
,
and
assist
him
to
conquer
his
enemies
,
and
overcome
his
infirmities
:
If
a
brother
aided
by
a
brother
,
(
as
the
wiseman
averrs
)
is
a
strong
City
;
How
strong
a
body
will
so
many
assisting
brothers
make
;
Whose
forces
are
all
united
to
further
and
facilitate
each
others
victory
,
whose
counsells
are
so
charitable
,
whose
combined
courages
are
so
invincible
,
whose
designs
are
so
warrantable
,
whose
exercises
tend
only
to
advance
Gods
honour
,
to
tread
down
sin
and
sensuality
,
to
attain
perfection
,
to
obtain
their
own
,
and
their
Neighbours
Salvation
!
These
are
the
practises
,
the
profits
,
the
pleasures
of
pious
Confraternities
,
where
Love
is
in
its
perfection
,
Concord
in
her
throne
,
Friendship
in
its
purity
,
Sanctity
in
its
excellency
;
and
therefore
safety
,
and
security
,
in
their
truest
height
and
greatness
.
These
are
the
rich
harvests
reaped
in
Religious
Societies
,
where
many
being
united
in
the
same
affections
,
participating
the
same
Sacraments
,
passing
their
lives
under
the
same
laws
and
statutes
,
render
themselves
victorious
against
all
the
violent
assaults
and
enterprises
of
their
adversaries
.
These
are
the
honourable
interests
returned
to
such
prudent
usurers
as
place
their
stocks
of
piety
in
these
Spirituall
banks
,
where
Charity
makes
all
flourish
,
Peace
produces
plenty
,
Concord
gets
the
conquests
,
and
perseverance
a
Crown
of
Glory
.
These
finally
are
the
holy
places
and
professions
in
which
men
live
more
purely
,
fall
more
rarely
,
rise
more
speedily
,
walk
more
warily
,
rest
more
securely
,
dye
more
confidently
,
are
rewarded
more
bountifully
.
And
all
these
profits
,
pleasures
,
and
prerogatives
,
belong
as
properly
to
your
happy
state
and
condition
,
(
O
devout
children
of
the
Rosary
!
)
as
to
any
other
secular
Sodality
or
Confraternity
whatsoever
.
For
though
all
well
ordered
Congregations
and
Societies
,
marching
under
the
Ensigns
of
Christianity
,
and
approved
of
by
the
Church
Catholique
,
(
the
onely
Royall
seat
of
true
Faith
,
Religion
,
and
Devotion
,
)
are
highly
praise-worthy
,
and
exceedingly
pleasing
to
the
divin
Majesty
:
(
since
,
though
their
Lawes
are
different
,
their
ways
divers
,
their
devotions
distinct
;
Yet
they
aym
all
at
the
same
end
,
steer
their
courses
towards
the
same
Haven
,
breath
the
same
zeal
of
Gods
honour
and
glory
,
seek
with
like
ardour
their
own
and
their
neighbours
Perfection
and
Salvation
:
)
Yet
I
may
boldly
say
,
there
are
none
more
holy
,
more
honourable
,
more
happy
,
than
such
as
choose
the
glorious
Virgin
Mary
,
the
powerfull
Empress
of
both
worlds
,
for
their
Protectress
and
Patroness
:
And
this
in
respect
of
her
Dignity
,
her
Power
,
her
Perfection
,
her
Puritie
,
and
her
other
Attributes
,
Priviledges
,
and
Prerogatives
,
which
prefer
her
before
all
other
Creatures
,
and
which
cannot
without
Heresy
or
Blasphemy
be
(
by
any
Christian
)
denyed
or
doubted
of
.
For
First
,
she
was
appointed
,
designed
,
predestinated
,
by
the
sacred
Trinity
from
all
Eternity
to
be
the
worthy
Mother
of
the
Word
Incarnate
.
Secondly
,
her
birth
was
not
only
prefigured
,
promised
,
prophecied
,
but
foretold
by
an
Angell
appearing
to
her
barren
Parents
,
immediatly
before
her
Conception
.
Thirdly
,
being
born
free
from
all
sin
,
she
led
a
life
so
full
of
all
Sanctity
,
so
singular
in
all
Purity
,
so
excellent
in
all
Perfection
,
that
she
deserved
yes
,
She
deserved
(
says
Saint
Augustin
)
(
by
her
Creators
mercy
,
the
prime
Author
of
this
her
Purity
,
Innocency
,
and
Perfection
,
)
to
be
chosen
the
Mother
of
Gods
Son
.
Fourthly
,
a
Mother
,
yet
remaining
a
Virgin
:
a
Mother
of
God
;
which
is
an
Attribute
containing
alone
,
all
that
is
great
,
glorious
,
excellent
.
Fiftly
,
an
Attribute
,
which
constitutes
her
Queen
of
Angells
,
Saints
,
and
Men
,
(
for
to
which
of
them
all
(
says
our
St.
Bernard
)
hath
God
said
,
You
are
my
Mother
?
)
This
is
the
Priviledg
of
Mary
;
an
Attribute
,
not
communicable
to
any
other
creature
;
A
Dignity
to
which
all
other
heights
and
excellencies
,
yield
homage
&
reverence
,
A
Prerogative
,
to
be
silently
admired
,
since
it
is
impossible
to
be
explicated
.
And
what
marvell
is
it
,
if
whol
multitudes
of
faithfull
children
have
flocked
to
the
protection
of
such
a
Mother
?
What
wonder
,
that
so
many
worthy
Assemblies
have
desired
to
shelter
themselves
under
her
sacred
wings
,
in
hope
to
sail
securely
over
the
dangerous
Sea
of
this
lives
pilgrimage
,
by
her
powerfull
tutelage
and
direction
?
This
greatness
therefore
,
this
glory
,
this
excellency
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
is
the
cause
of
so
many
holy
Confraternities
erected
in
her
honour
;
whereof
some
fixing
upon
the
mysteries
of
her
life
,
have
made
choyce
of
the
Annunciation
,
or
the
Conception
,
or
the
Nativity
,
or
the
Purification
,
or
some
other
mysterie
for
their
particular
Motto
and
name
of
their
pious
Confraternities
.
Others
observing
the
places
,
which
she
hath
been
pleased
to
make
famous
by
her
frequent
miracles
,
have
entitled
their
devout
Societies
from
Loretto
in
Italie
,
from
Mount-Serrat
in
Spain
,
from
Liesse
in
France
,
from
Hall
and
Sichem
in
Flanders
.
Others
,
admiring
and
honouring
her
,
in
her
effects
and
attributes
,
have
founded
severall
Congregations
,
according
to
her
severall
properties
,
qualities
,
denominations
,
And
as
she
is
the
Lady
Mother
of
Power
(
which
is
the
title
of
this
our
little
Altar
)
of
Pity
,
of
Vertue
,
of
Grace
,
of
Comfort
,
of
Mercy
,
of
Deliverance
;
So
there
are
as
many
particular
Assemblies
,
distinguished
from
each
other
by
these
divers
denominations
,
but
all
concentring
in
the
sacred
Virgins
honour
;
all
conspiring
in
their
zeal
and
devotion
to
her
service
;
all
desirous
to
testifie
,
that
(
though
their
choyce
is
different
,
their
statutes
severall
,
their
wayes
many
,
yet
)
their
design
is
common
,
their
end
and
aim
is
one
and
the
same
.
To
discourse
here
of
all
these
devout
Confraternities
erected
in
her
honour
,
and
dedicated
to
her
service
,
were
as
endless
a
project
in
it self
,
as
useless
to
my
present
design
and
purpose
;
and
therefore
contenting
my self
to
have
given
you
these
generall
notions
,
names
,
and
prayses
of
the
most
eminent
and
signall
Orders
,
Sodalities
,
and
Congregations
,
I
shall
confine
the
residue
of
my
discourse
,
to
declare
that
onely
Confraternity
,
which
we
our selves
have
happily
made
choyce
of
;
I
mean
the
Arch-Confraternity
of
the
sacred
Rosary
,
which
contains
all
the
other
Societies
,
under
its
generall
name
and
title
,
and
communicates
it self
to
their
generall
Subdivisions
,
as
the
great
Ocean
(
the
generall
Magazin
of
waters
)
discharges
it self
into
many
Sea-armes
,
creeks
,
and
bosomes
.
But
before
I
lanch
forth
into
this
large
Ocean
,
I
shall
(
with
the
permission
of
your
patience
)
speak
a
word
since
it
particularly
concerns
our
Confraternity
)
of
our
Lady
Mothers
title
of
Power
,
the
sirname
of
this
our
sacred
Altar
;
and
consequently
the
Notion
under
which
we
have
engaged
our selves
in
the
sacred
Virgins
service
and
Sodality
.
A
Title
,
(
Most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
truly
Royall
,
Noble
,
Glorious
.
A
Quality
,
capable
to
call
,
invite
,
and
encourage
all
afflicted
Souls
to
fly
to
her
Patronage
.
A
Name
,
which
only
pronounced
,
cannot
choose
but
afford
present
comfort
.
Is
there
any
one
amongst
you
afflicted
in
mind
,
perplexed
in
spirit
,
over-tyrannized
by
your
passions
,
overswayed
by
your
sensuality
,
apprehensive
of
malicious
enemies
,
fearfull
of
threatned
torments
,
tribulations
,
persecutions
?
Have
you
not
a
powerfull
Mother
,
as
ready
,
as
able
to
help
you
?
Are
you
sayling
upon
the
boysterous
Sea
,
wafted
to
and
fro
,
with
the
tempestuous
winds
and
billows
,
bruised
against
the
rocks
,
run
upon
the
quick-sands
,
in
eminent
danger
of
utter
ruin
,
shipwrack
and
drowning
?
Lift
up
your
eyes
,
hands
,
and
hearts
to
Heaven
,
look
for
present
help
from
Mary
your
Powerfull
Mother
.
Are
you
journying
by
land
,
strai'd
from
your
right
path
,
set
upon
by
robbers
,
surprized
by
nights
darkness
,
tyred
,
troubled
,
disconsolated
with
the
inconveniencies
of
travell
?
Think
upon
the
Mother
of
Power
,
who
will
pray
for
you
and
protect
you
.
Are
you
seized
upon
by
sickness
,
alarm'd
with
deaths
summons
,
thunder-stricken
with
the
terrour
of
Gods
severe
Judgments
,
the
torments
of
Hell-fire
,
the
length
of
your
doubtfull
Eternity
?
O
despair
not
,
distrust
not
,
quit
not
your
hopes
and
hold
;
you
have
a
mercifull
Father
to
pardon
you
,
a
Powerfull
Mother
to
Patronize
you
.
Are
you
assaulted
with
sodain
,
strong
furious
temptations
,
shaken
with
secret
suggestions
,
violented
by
your
lawless
affections
,
ready
to
give
consent
to
mortall
sin
?
O
resist
manfully
,
resolve
valiantly
,
fight
confidently
under
your
Powerfull
Mothers
ensigns
;
visit
this
holy
Altar
with
your
thoughts
and
affections
,
reflect
upon
the
sacred
Confraternity
whereof
you
are
a
member
.
Are
you
deprived
(
by
some
accident
)
of
your
fortunes
,
fame
,
friends
,
reduced
to
poverty
,
infamy
,
extremity
?
Remember
your
Mothers
Power
and
Charity
,
implore
her
prayer's
and
protection
,
and
doubt
not
to
obtain
either
patience
to
support
what
so
much
troubles
you
,
or
a
speedy
deliverance
from
it
.
Finally
,
in
all
dangers
,
difficulties
,
distresses
,
think
upon
the
Mother
of
Power
,
call
upon
the
Mother
of
Power
:
let
her
not
depart
from
your
mouth
,
let
her
not
depart
from
your
heart
,
and
that
you
may
obtain
relief
by
her
intercession
,
swerve
not
from
the
example
of
her
conversation
:
following
her
,
you
stray
not
,
calling
upon
her
,
you
despair
not
,
thinking
on
her
,
you
err
not
:
she
holding
,
you
fall
not
,
she
protecting
,
you
fear
not
,
she
guiding
,
you
faint
not
.
How
properly
then
(
O
children
of
Mary
!
)
do
we
entitle
our
Mother
Powerfull
,
since
(
says
our
learned
and
devout
Doctor
Damian
)
the
Almighty
hath
so
highly
priviledg'd
her
with
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
,
in
so
much
as
she
makes
her
addresses
to
the
sacred
Altar
of
our
reconciliation
(
non
solum
rogans
,
sed
etiam
imperans
,
Domina
,
non
ancilla
:
Not
onely
entreating
,
but
also
commanding
,
as
a
Mistris
,
not
a
handmaid
;
wherefore
I
conclude
this
digression
with
the
mellifluous
Saint
Bernard
:
whatsoever
you
desire
to
offer
up
to
the
divin
Majesty
,
be
sure
to
deposit
it
in
Mary's
hands
,
that
so
your
oblation
may
ascend
to
the
source
of
Grace
,
by
the
same
channell
,
whereby
grace
descended
unto
you
:
Not
but
that
our
Creator
can
easily
distill
the
dews
of
his
grace
,
without
the
mediation
of
this
Channell
,
by
what
other
means
he
best
pleaseth
;
but
he
would
mercifully
provide
this
powerfull
help
for
you
,
and
therefore
take
speciall
care
to
place
in
Marye's
powerfull
and
gratefull
hands
,
whatsoever
petition
you
desire
to
prefer
to
her
divin
Son
,
if
you
will
not
have
it
to
miscarry
,
and
receive
a
denyall
.
And
now
returning
to
the
prosecution
of
my
intended
purpose
:
Though
the
generall
devotion
of
all
faithfull
Christians
towards
the
sacred
Virgin
Mary
;
is
as
ancient
as
our
faith
and
Christianity
themselves
,
(
she
being
constituted
the
Churches
Mother
,
by
the
bequest
of
her
blessed
Son
,
when
he
uttered
these
words
to
St.
John
(
as
his
last
will
and
testament
)
on
the
Cross
,
Son
Behold
thy
Mother
;
Nor
did
ever
yet
any
true
Catholique
,
acknowledging
God
for
his
Father
,
and
Christ
Jesus
for
his
Brother
,
exclude
Mary
from
being
his
Mother
:
)
yet
,
this
particular
manner
of
honouring
her
,
this
pious
Method
of
praying
to
her
,
this
our
Confraternity
of
the
sacred
Rosary
had
its
first
rise
and
institution
from
the
glorious
St.
Dominick
,
about
four
hundred
years
since
,
and
its
decayed
use
was
zealously
renewed
by
the
Blessed
Father
Alanus
de
Rupe
,
about
two
hundred
years
past
,
as
the
Ecclesiastical
Histories
largely
declare
,
which
being
obvious
to
every
ones
perusall
,
and
I
hastning
to
other
matters
,
which
are
to
us
of
more
importance
,
purposely
pass
over
,
that
I
may
come
to
the
performance
of
my
first
promise
and
proposition
,
which
is
,
to
declare
the
Dignity
of
the
Rosary
,
and
the
Duty
of
us
who
are
of
it
.
The
Masters
greatness
(
says
Salomon
)
redounds
to
the
servants
glory
,
and
the
Parents
honour
to
the
renown
of
the
children
.
Since
therefore
you
(
O
devout
Rosarists
!
)
have
as
befits
humble
servants
,
made
choyce
of
so
high
a
Mistris
;
and
as
beseems
good
children
have
promised
loyaltie
to
so
Honourable
a
Mother
,
great
surely
is
your
glory
,
your
honour
,
your
happiness
.
A
Mistriss
,
of
such
Majesty
,
A
Mother
,
of
such
excellency
,
that
the
sole
consideration
of
her
greatness
and
goodness
,
is
a
sufficient
charm
to
engage
the
whol
world
in
her
service
to
contain
all
Christians
in
their
filial
duty
and
affection
.
I
have
already
given
you
a
glimps
in
generall
of
your
Mistr●sses
and
Mothers
greatnesses
,
priviledges
,
and
prerogatives
;
and
to
descend
to
the
particular
mention
of
all
the
honourable
titles
,
high
qualities
,
admirable
epithets
,
which
heaven
and
earth
,
Angells
and
Men
,
the
Scripture
and
the
Church
,
bestow
upon
this
Blessed
Virgin
,
were
to
write
whol
volumes
,
not
to
recite
a
succinct
Oration
.
She
is
represented
by
the
Tree
of
life
in
the
Terrestriall
Paradise
,
by
the
Ark
of
Noah
upon
the
waves
of
the
Deluge
,
by
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Testament
,
made
of
incorruptible
materialls
,
(
signifying
her
virginity
,
her
purity
,
her
impeccability
,
)
by
the
Ark
of
the
Covenant
,
which
contained
the
tables
of
the
Commamdements
,
as
she
did
their
Author
.
She
is
prefigured
by
the
Altar
of
Perfumes
(
the
types
of
her
odoriferous
vertues
:
)
by
the
golden
Candlestick
,
(
She
bearing
him
who
is
the
True
Light
of
the
World
:
)
By
the
Gate
of
Heaven
in
the
Prophets
,
By
Jacobs
Ladder
in
Genesis
,
By
the
Valiant
Woman
in
the
Proverbs
,
By
the
Ever
burning
,
never
consuming
Bush
in
Exodus
,
By
the
Hill
elevated
on
the
Mountain
top
in
Isay
,
By
the
Citie
of
God
,
whereof
such
wonders
are
spoken
in
the
Psalms
,
By
the
sweet
smelling
Balsome
,
the
still
flourishing
Cypress
upon
Mount
Sion
,
The
ever
flowing
vein
of
Honey
,
The
fair
Olive
of
the
fields
,
The
Lilly
amongst
the
thorns
,
The
Rose
of
Jericho
,
The
Palm
of
Cades
,
The
Royall
Throne
of
Salomon
,
The
strong
Tower
of
David
,
The
Fleece
of
Gedeon
,
The
miraculously
flourishing
Rod
of
A●ron
,
The
Eastern
Gate
of
Paradice
.
The
Angell
qualifies
her
full
of
Grace
;
The
wise-man
,
abounding
with
delights
;
The
Spouse
,
a
Garden
of
pleasure
,
The
Gospell
,
the
mother
of
Jesus
;
The
Church
,
the
exemplar
of
Perfection
;
Heaven
the
Queen
of
the
Vniverse
,
Earth
,
the
Phoenix
of
Mankind
;
and
all
the
World
,
the
Fountain
of
their
felicity
.
The
Celestiall
Spirits
acknowledg
her
for
their
Empress
,
the
Apostles
for
their
Mistris
,
the
Martyrs
for
their
Mirrour
,
the
Confessors
for
their
Pattern
,
the
Virgins
for
their
Glory
,
all
Christians
for
their
powerfull
Patroness
and
Advocate
.
Judg
now
(
O
faithfull
Rosarists
!
)
by
these
few
mentioned
Titles
of
the
miraculous
Excellency
,
Greatness
,
Glory
,
Dignity
,
of
her
,
to
whose
honour
you
have
dedicated
your
hearts
,
your
loves
,
your
lives
,
your
services
.
Surely
you
cannot
but
joyfully
confess
with
me
,
that
(
after
a
Christ
Jesus
)
Heaven
never
produced
any
thing
more
holy
,
the
World
never
had
any
thing
more
worthy
,
the
Sun
never
saw
any
thing
more
admirable
,
amiable
,
precious
and
perfect
,
than
our
ever
blessed
,
and
honoured
Mistris
,
and
Mother
Mary
.
And
consequently
we
must
conclude
also
,
that
very
great
is
our
own
dignity
,
who
have
the
honour
to
be
of
her
particular
family
,
by
means
of
this
pious
Institute
of
the
Confraternity
of
the
Rosary
.
1.
An
Institute
,
not
of
a
novell
invention
,
but
(
as
you
have
heard
)
of
above
four
hundred
years
standing
and
antiquity
.
2.
An
Institute
,
of
that
large
extent
,
that
it
hath
spread
it self
over
the
whol
habitable
world
,
and
acknowledges
no
other
limits
,
than
those
which
bound
the
universall
Catholique
Church
.
3.
An
Institute
,
of
that
generality
,
that
no
person
is
exculded
from
its
participation
:
not
the
Husbandman
in
the
fields
,
not
the
Trades-man
in
his
shop
,
not
the
Traveller
in
his
journey
,
not
the
unlearned
for
his
ignorance
,
not
the
Woman
by
her
sex
,
not
the
Married
by
their
state
,
not
the
Younglings
by
their
simplicity
,
not
the
Aged
by
their
impotency
,
not
the
Sick
by
their
infirmity
;
Briefly
,
not
any
devout
and
faithfull
Christian
by
any
calling
,
employment
,
condition
whatsoever
.
4.
An
Institute
,
of
that
easiness
to
learn
,
and
facility
to
practice
,
that
it
requires
no
more
knowledge
,
than
the
skill
to
recite
the
Pater
and
Ave
,
no
more
expences
,
than
the
price
of
a
pair
of
Bedes
,
no
other
place
,
than
where
every
one
lives
,
no
other
scite
of
body
,
than
that
in
which
devotion
find's
us
,
whether
it
be
standing
,
sitting
,
lying
,
walking
,
or
kneeling
.
5.
An
Institute
,
of
that
infinite
spirituall
profit
,
that
it
is
impossible
to
be
expressed
,
whereof
I
shall
instance
onely
these
few
particulars
.
1.
In
respect
of
the
speciall
Patronage
,
and
protection
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
;
for
though
she
is
a
carefull
Mother
of
all
faithfull
Christians
,
yet
surely
she
is
more
tenderly
solicitous
for
the
domestiques
of
her
familie
,
more
heedfully
diligent
for
the
advancement
of
her
devoted
servants
,
more
seriously
studious
for
the
good
of
her
dutifull
children
.
2.
In
respect
of
the
Community
of
Merits
,
amongst
the
members
of
this
sacred
Society
:
For
it
is
a
point
of
our
Religion
,
an
Article
of
our
Faith
,
an
infallible
Maxime
amongst
our
Divins
;
that
the
merits
of
all
the
Saints
,
are
common
to
all
faithfull
Christians
;
that
there
is
a
communication
between
the
Church
Militant
upon
Earth
,
the
Church
suffering
in
Purgatory
,
and
the
Church
Triumphant
in
Heaven
:
yes
,
there
is
such
a
connexion
amongst
all
Gods
Children
,
such
an
association
of
all
the
Churches
members
,
which
make
up
one
spirituall
body
under
their
sacred
head
CHRIST
JESUS
,
that
the
least
of
them
all
(
supposing
he
is
capable
of
merit
,
and
in
good
state
,
whereof
grace
is
the
root
and
foundation
)
hath
a
title
,
and
may
claim
a
share
in
all
the
spirituall
goods
,
and
consequently
in
all
the
treasures
of
merits
and
good
works
heaped
up
from
the
Worlds
first
Origin
to
this
present
,
and
which
shall
be
laid
up
in
the
Churches
Store-House
,
till
the
Worlds
Consummation
.
Our
Creed
teacheth
us
this
truth
,
wherein
we
profess
to
believe
the
Communion
of
Saints
,
that
is
,
we
acknowledge
a
communication
of
merits
,
between
them
who
are
happily
lodged
in
Heaven
,
and
them
who
(
living
upon
Earth
,
and
lying
in
Purgatory
)
hope
to
follow
after
.
We
believe
that
whatsoever
the
greatest
Saints
have
done
,
merited
,
obtained
;
what
the
ancient
Patriarks
by
propagating
Gods
honour
,
putting
down
idolatry
;
what
the
Prophets
by
preaching
Gods
Judgments
,
proclaiming
open
Warr
against
all
impiety
;
what
the
glorious
Apostles
by
planting
the
Faith
,
publishing
the
Gospel
,
converting
the
World
;
what
the
invincible
Martyrs
,
by
their
endured
torments
,
persecutions
,
deaths
;
what
the
holy
Confessors
,
by
the
couragious
carriage
of
their
crosses
,
chastisements
of
their
flesh
,
mortifications
of
their
sensuality
;
what
the
good
Hermits
,
Anchorites
,
Monks
,
in
their
Solitudes
,
Cells
,
and
Cloysters
;
what
the
learned
,
zealous
,
eloquent
Doctors
,
by
their
writings
,
preachings
,
teachings
;
what
the
chast
Virgins
and
Widows
,
by
the
inviolable
preservation
of
their
purity
;
Finally
,
whatsoever
the
pious
people
in
their
secular
calling
,
or
any
persons
under
each
Pole
of
the
World
,
and
in
the
four
corners
of
the
Vniverse
,
have
profited
in
good
works
,
in
godly
actions
,
in
vertuous
exercises
:
all
this
is
communicable
to
each
one
of
the
Catholique
Churches
members
;
all
is
to
them
proportionably
imparted
and
distributed
.
I
am
partaker
(
sings
joyfully
the
Royall
Psalmist
,
)
with
all
them
who
fear
you
,
and
faithfully
follow
your
Laws
and
Ordinances
.
All
such
as
live
Christianly
,
carefully
,
devoutly
;
all
such
as
practise
works
of
piety
,
make
progress
in
vertue
,
march
up
the
degrees
of
perfection
and
sanctity
;
labour
for
me
,
profit
me
,
lay
up
treasures
for
me
:
we
are
all
fellow
members
under
one
head
,
we
all
make
up
one
common
purse
amongst
us
,
we
all
aim
at
the
same
end
of
Gods
honour
and
glory
,
and
our
own
eternall
felicity
.
Now
besides
this
generall
communication
of
spirituall
goods
and
merits
amongst
all
faithfull
Christians
,
(
the
stock
whereof
is
in
the
Churches
hands
and
store-house
)
there
is
another
bank
in
the
bodyes
of
Confraternities
common
to
them
alone
who
are
of
that
particular
familie
and
communitie
,
and
from
whence
all
the
influences
of
graces
and
blessings
,
which
Heaven
imparts
to
this
whol
body
,
inflow
into
each
one
of
its
members
.
And
to
instance
this
also
in
some
particulars
.
First
,
what
an
immense
profit
is
it
,
to
have
a
part
in
all
the
zealous
prayers
,
meditations
,
acts
of
charity
,
and
exercises
of
Vertu
and
Piety
,
performed
in
a
whol
Confraternity
?
All
which
entring
into
common
,
and
making
one
only
deposi●um
,
redound
to
each
particular
members
spiritual
profit
and
advantage
:
So
that
when
any
one
of
us
offers
up
his
prayers
to
the
Throne
of
mercy
,
he
pray's
(
as
it
were
)
by
as
many
mouths
,
as
there
are
brethren
and
sisters
in
our
whol
Confraternity
.
And
what
an
incredible
force
(
judg
yee
,
devout
Rosarists
!
)
must
this
needs
add
to
our
petitions
?
How
can
a
just
demand
,
presented
by
so
many
pious
Souls
,
sent
up
to
Heaven
by
so
many
humble
hearts
,
pronounced
by
so
many
devout
tongues
,
suffer
a
repulse
?
If
our
Creator
,
though
most
highly
incensed
and
irritated
by
the
wicked
and
malicious
Sodomites
;
yet
mercifully
promised
to
pardon
all
their
enormous
impieties
,
might
there
have
been
found
amongst
them
only
ten
just
Men
,
to
joyn
in
prayer
with
holy
Abraham
for
their
delivery
;
May
we
not
(
without
presumption
)
perswade
our selves
,
that
the
prayers
of
so
many
good
Souls
,
(
whereof
this
Sacred
Confraternitie
is
composed
)
may
have
great
power
to
move
our
Maker
,
(
when
he
is
justly
angry
with
us
for
our
offences
,
ingratitude
,
disloyalty
,
)
to
pitty
and
pardon
us
,
and
to
reverse
the
sentence
of
our
deserved
punishment
and
condemnation
?
Surely
united
forces
,
(
you
know
)
are
far
more
prevalent
than
when
divided
;
many
Torches
give
a
greater
luster
,
many
fires
affoard
a
fiercer
heat
,
many
men
remove
a
heavier
weight
,
and
in
all
cases
whatsoever
,
that
which
one
alone
is
unable
to
attain
,
uncapable
to
effect
,
unworthy
to
deserve
,
a
multitude
conspiring
together
in
the
same
end
and
intention
,
may
hope
to
atchieve
and
compass
.
Secondly
,
what
an
inestimable
profit
is
it
to
have
a
share
of
merit
in
so
many
divin
Sacrifices
of
the
Masse
,
celebrated
yearly
,
monthly
,
weekly
,
daily
(
to
Gods
glory
,
to
his
Mothers
honour
,
to
his
Saints
prayses
,
to
the
Solace
of
the
living
,
to
the
Succour
of
the
dead
:
)
both
at
this
sacred
and
priviledg'd
Altar
of
our
blessed
Mother
of
Power
,
And
wheresoever
,
throughout
the
World
this
Arch-Confraternitie
of
the
Rosary
is
erected
and
established
?
If
one
only
Masse
,
the
lively
representation
of
what
passed
upon
Mount-Calvary
,
the
highest
act
of
Religion
,
the
authenticall
memoriall
of
the
great
sacrifice
of
the
Cross
,
is
capable
(
says
our
Venerable
Father
Bede
)
to
add
glory
to
God
,
joy
to
the
Angels
and
Saints
,
grace
to
the
just
,
pardon
to
Sinners
,
comfort
to
the
living
,
help
to
the
Souls
in
Purgatory
;
what
good
,
what
grace
,
what
advantage
may
you
here
expect
,
where
so
many
Masses
are
daily
celebrated
for
the
forenamed
intentions
,
whereof
each
member
participates
?
Thirdly
,
what
a
vast
treasure
of
Indulgences
,
Pardons
,
Jubilies
(
given
and
granted
by
the
prime
Pastours
of
the
Church
,
the
generall
dispencers
of
divin
blessings
,
the
universall
Stewards
of
celestiall
riches
)
are
annexed
to
this
our
holy
Confraternity
?
Indulgences
,
which
no
Catholique
can
deny
or
doubt
of
;
Indulgences
,
so
ample
,
as
no
Society
ever
had
larger
;
So
many
,
as
meerly
to
mention
them
,
would
take
up
another
hours
time
,
and
tire
out
your
patience
;
there
being
no
Pope
since
Sixtus
the
fourth
,
who
hath
not
freely
opened
the
Churches
Storehouse
,
and
added
new
priviledges
,
prerogatives
,
and
benefits
unto
his
predecessors
liberalitie
,
in
so
much
as
I
find
above
forty
authentick
Bulls
and
Instruments
issued
forth
of
that
highest
spirituall
Court
,
for
the
approb●tion
,
confirmation
,
and
ornament
of
this
renowned
Arch-Confraternity
of
the
Rosary
.
Fourthly
,
I
may
add
to
this
large
inventory
of
spirituall
profits
;
That
to
be
of
this
Confraternity
,
is
a
probable
sign
of
being
predestinated
to
eternall
feli●ity
;
For
if
with
the
holy
,
you
shall
be
holy
(
sayes
the
Psalmist
)
and
with
the
Elect
,
elected
,
what
better
sign
of
holiness
,
what
surer
token
of
election
,
can
one
have
in
this
life
,
than
to
be
associated
with
so
many
good
Souls
,
aspiring
zealously
,
and
unanimously
to
piety
,
to
perfection
,
to
salvation
?
Fiftly
,
the
last
profit
,
(
to
let
pass
many
others
)
is
a
confidence
,
a
comfort
,
and
a
kind
of
security
in
the
article
of
Death
.
Death
is
commonly
accompanied
with
three
corrosives
.
Bitterness
,
because
of
the
Cessation
of
all
pleasures
,
the
p●ivation
of
all
worldly
riches
,
the
separation
of
body
and
Soul
,
two
ancient
friends
and
companions
.
Danger
,
because
of
the
dire
conflicts
and
dismall
temptations
of
the
then
most
busy
devill
.
Dread
and
terrour
,
because
of
the
doubtfull
and
severe
judgment
immediatly
ensuing
.
Now
the
devout
and
diligent
members
of
this
sacred
Confraternity
are
exempt
from
the
most
part
of
these
alarm's
:
For
death
seems
not
to
them
so
bitter
,
because
long
before
expected
,
prevented
,
p●ovided
for
:
The
enemies
assaults
and
temptations
are
not
to
them
so
dreadfull
and
dangerous
,
because
the
dayly
use
of
their
spirituall
weapons
renders
them
expert
in
these
combats
,
able
to
foil
their
adversaries
,
and
experienc'd
to
defend
themselves
:
The
apprehension
of
Gods
Judgments
is
not
to
them
so
terrible
,
because
they
continually
think
of
them
,
and
accordingly
order
their
Life
and
actions
,
discharge
their
consciences
of
sin
,
practise
works
of
piety
,
and
endeavour
to
acquire
the
sacred
Virgins
favour
in
hope
to
have
her
then
their
friend
and
advocate
,
which
is
surely
the
best
way
to
dy
with
safety
and
security
:
The
just
man
dy's
(
says
Saint
Bernard
)
as
well
as
the
wicked
;
yet
the
just
man
dy's
with
this
advantage
and
assurance
,
that
the
ending
of
his
life
here
,
is
the
entrance
into
a
better
Life
hereafter
;
and
therefore
he
living
dy's
to
the
world
;
that
dying
,
he
may
begin
to
live
to
God
:
O
Life
truly
holy
!
O
Death
truly
happy
!
where
the
conscience
is
pure
,
and
the
Soul
unspotted
!
These
are
some
part
of
the
spirituall
profits
,
which
proceed
from
this
renowned
Society
of
the
ROSARY
:
It
now
remains
that
I
briefly
tell
you
,
how
you
may
become
capable
to
participate
of
these
priviledges
and
prerogatives
,
and
what
duty
and
devotion
befits
the
faithfull
servants
of
the
sacred
Virgin
Mary
,
and
the
true
members
of
this
most
holy
Society
.
For
it
is
not
enough
to
have
registred
your
names
in
the
Rosary
Catalogue
,
to
enter
with
the
rest
into
her
Chappell
,
to
be
externally
associated
to
this
Confraternity
:
but
in
the
first
place
.
1.
You
must
resolve
upon
an
honest
,
honourable
,
holy
life
;
A
reformation
of
your
manners
,
a
renouncing
of
all
vice
and
vanity
,
a
pursute
of
all
vertu
,
piety
,
perfection
;
Yea
,
you
must
strive
to
surpass
in
devotion
and
sanctity
all
such
other
worldlings
,
as
have
not
that
honour
and
happyness
you
have
,
to
be
of
the
blessed
Virgins
familie
:
for
you
(
O
devout
Rosarists
!
)
have
dedicated
your selves
more
particularly
to
God
service
,
you
make
a
more
speciall
profession
to
honour
his
holy
Mother
,
than
they
who
walk
in
the
wide
track
of
the
World
:
and
if
you
surpass
them
not
in
perfection
,
how
deserve
you
the
title
of
her
particular
servants
?
If
you
make
not
appear
in
your
lives
and
actions
more
Modestie
,
Humilitie
,
Patience
,
Piety
,
Devotion
,
and
all
sorts
of
vertues
,
than
others
;
how
are
you
worthy
to
be
her
speciall
friends
and
favourite
?
Finally
if
you
pretend
to
be
truly
her
children
and
domesticks
,
she
expects
from
you
cleaness
of
heart
,
purity
of
conscience
,
sanctity
of
life
and
conversation
.
2.
And
in
order
to
obtain
this
mundicity
,
purity
,
and
sacntity
,
you
must
have
a
high
esteem
,
and
make
frequent
use
of
the
Sacrament
of
Penance
,
as
being
the
main
Pillar
of
a
spirituall
life
,
the
soveraign
Medicin
to
recover
our
Souls
decayed
health
,
the
first
and
fundamentall
step
to
all
perfection
.
Yes
,
every
Christian
,
who
hath
any
Zeal
for
his
own
salvation
,
much
more
we
(
who
make
a
profession
of
somewhat
more
than
ordinary
devotion
)
must
presently
upon
his
lapse
into
mortall
sin
dispose
his
Soul
to
Contrition
,
his
mouth
to
Confession
,
his
hands
to
Satisfaction
,
his
body
to
Penance
,
which
is
the
true
D●ttany
curing
these
bitings
,
the
wholsom
Mithridat
expelling
these
poysons
,
the
clear
Fountain
cleansing
us
from
these
filths
and
impurities
.
O
how
important
is
the
observation
of
this
point
,
to
all
pretenders
to
piety
and
perfection
,
and
how
prejudiciall
the
neglect
of
it
?
For
first
,
a
Soul
faln
into
one
mortall
sin
,
hath
set
the
dore
open
to
let
in
a
second
,
and
that
makes
way
for
many
followers
:
Such
is
the
weight
of
sin
(
says
St.
Gregory
)
that
it
bears
dow
the
Soul
under
it
,
and
sways
the
inclination
to
commit
more
and
more
,
on
Abyssus
calling
on
another
.
Secondly
,
a
Soul
in
mortall
sin
,
looses
all
her
good
works
,
all
merit
,
all
hope
of
Heaven
,
all
title
to
eternall
happyness
:
no
alms
avail
her
,
no
prayers
profit
her
,
no
austerities
help
her
,
no
good
actions
can
open
to
her
the
gates
of
Paradise
,
without
the
key
of
an
intire
confession
,
or
a
true
Contrition
.
Thirdly
,
sin
as
it
gains
time
,
gets
strength
,
becoms
insensibly
master
of
the
Soul
,
shutts
up
the
dores
against
the
divin
mercy
,
and
at
length
leaves
her
in
despair
of
pardon
,
and
makes
her
give
over
all
hopes
of
favour
,
and
petitioning
for
grace
.
Ah!
what
comfort
,
what
confidence
,
what
means
of
salvation
is
left
to
a
miserable
Soul
,
that
wilfully
persevers
in
her
impiety
?
The
longer
she
stays
in
it
,
the
deeper
she
sinks
into
it
,
the
lesse
she
deserves
favour
,
the
more
highly
she
provokes
Heavens
anger
and
revenge
.
Fourthly
,
and
which
is
yet
worse
,
a
Soul
wounded
with
mortall
sin
(
and
uncured
by
Confession
or
Contrition
)
is
continually
worried
with
a
worm
of
remorse
;
and
if
she
be
grown
so
insensible
,
as
not
to
feel
now
its
gnawings
,
she
shall
surely
resent
its
dismall
bitings
at
the
approaching
hour
of
death
,
and
much
more
piercingly
after
her
departure
,
when
this
worm
that
devours
her
shall
never
dy
where
the
fire
that
burns
her
shall
never
be
extinguished
.
Behold
the
inevitable
ruins
,
the
irreparable
losses
,
the
unexplicable
miseries
,
which
are
by
them
incurred
,
who
after
their
fall
,
delay
to
do
Penance
.
Let
it
be
therefore
your
chief
care
(
O
devout
Rosarists
!
)
to
arise
speedily
,
to
present
your selves
presently
to
the
Tribunall
of
confession
,
to
announce
your
frailty
,
renounce
your
impiety
,
that
so
you
may
obtain
grace
to
walk
afterwards
more
warily
.
For
as
a
spot
or
stain
is
sooner
rubbed
off
at
first
,
than
when
sunk
down
to
the
bottom
;
so
it
is
with
sin
,
the
cure
is
desperate
,
when
the
disease
is
deeply
rooted
.
3.
The
frequent
use
of
the
Holy
EVCHARIST
is
no
less
necessary
to
all
faithfull
and
devout
Christians
,
where
they
are
visited
by
God
himself
,
honoured
with
his
Reall
Presence
,
fed
with
his
sacred
flesh
,
made
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
the
Cabinet
of
the
Word
Incarnat
,
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Immense
Trinity
:
the
Throne
,
the
Heaven
,
the
Palace
,
the
Paradise
of
the
whol
divinity
.
O
what
priviledges
!
what
profits
?
what
prerogatives
?
to
have
their
sins
pardoned
,
temptations
quelled
,
passions
conquered
,
enemies
repulsed
,
new
strength
granted
,
all
sorts
of
graces
communicated
?
To
have
the
spirit
cleared
,
the
memory
awaked
,
the
will
inflamed
,
the
understanding
illuminated
,
the
heart
confirmed
,
the
appetite
regulated
,
the
reason
instructed
,
the
sensuality
repressed
,
the
whol
man
divinized
?
To
receive
the
antipasts
of
Paradise
,
the
pledges
of
eternall
bliss
and
beatitude
?
who
would
not
endeavour
to
be
frequently
partaker
of
such
heights
,
such
honours
,
such
happinesses
?
4.
Another
important
practice
of
devout
Christians
is
to
hear
Mass
as
often
as
they
may
;
for
it
is
a
Sacrifice
,
whereby
the
merits
of
our
Redeemers
Passion
are
applyed
to
us
.
A
Sacrifice
,
in
which
and
by
which
:
thanks
are
rendred
to
the
Divin
Majesty
,
for
all
the
benefits
received
from
his
bounty
.
A
Sacrifice
,
of
infinit
worth
and
efficacie
,
inflowing
multitudes
of
graces
,
favours
,
and
blessings
upon
the
devout
assistants
,
which
this
time
and
place
permit
me
not
to
particularize
.
5.
Furthermore
,
to
hear
Gods
Word
preached
and
announced
(
if
that
happiness
may
be
obtained
)
is
also
a
point
of
great
piety
,
profit
,
and
merit
;
nor
is
there
indeed
any
more
express
sign
of
a
Christians
belonging
to
Christs
flock
and
fold
,
than
the
frequent
and
affectionate
hearing
of
his
divin
Word
,
according
to
his
own
saying
:
He
that
is
of
God
hears
his
Word
,
and
my
sheep
hear
my
voyce
.
Surely
,
they
who
lend
a
willing
ear
to
their
prime
Pastours
voyce
,
(
preached
to
them
by
his
Missioners
and
Officers
)
testifie
thereby
that
they
are
his
loving
and
obedient
Sheep
;
the
imitators
of
his
Blessed
Mother
,
(
who
kept
all
his
words
carefully
in
her
heart
)
and
children
designed
for
his
heavenly
inheritance
.
6.
The
last
piece
of
devotion
,
which
I
shall
now
mention
belonging
to
pious
Christians
and
especially
to
the
religious
children
of
Jesus
and
Mary
,
is
to
addict
themselves
to
the
reading
of
the
spirituall
Conflict
,
and
Conquest
,
and
other
good
,
holy
,
and
spirituall
books
,
for
these
are
the
dumb
masters
which
teach
us
the
lessons
of
true
wisdom
and
heavenly
Philosophy
;
These
are
the
fire-steels
of
Gods
love
and
fear
,
the
matches
of
devotion
,
the
interpreters
of
sacred
mysteries
,
the
pilots
of
our
pilgrimage
,
the
Registers
of
Gods
wondrous
works
,
the
Court-Rolls
where
we
may
turn
to
the
authentique
effects
of
his
severe
justice
,
and
of
his
sweet
mercy
.
Behold
,
these
are
the
true
badges
of
perfect
brethren
&
sisters
;
these
are
the
undeniable
seals
of
devout
Confraternities
;
these
are
the
essentiall
properties
of
our
Queen-Mothers
children
and
servants
.
Study
them
seriously
(
O
devout
Rosarists
!
)
and
endeavour
punctually
to
observe
and
keep
them
.
First
,
admiring
,
praysing
,
thanking
the
divin
Majesty
,
for
providing
you
so
powerfull
,
so
worthy
,
so
perfect
a
Mother
,
Patroness
,
and
Advocate
.
Secondly
,
striving
to
make
your selves
worthy
children
,
of
so
great
and
glorious
a
Mother
;
worthy
members
of
so
pious
and
profitable
a
Confraternity
.
Thirdly
,
Remember
the
promises
made
at
your
first
admission
,
and
honour
her
accordingly
love
her
,
admire
her
,
and
propagate
her
prayses
to
the
whol
World
.
Fourthly
,
above
all
,
aym
at
the
imitation
of
her
Life
and
Vertues
,
which
is
the
most
perfect
,
and
(
to
her
)
most
pleasing
way
of
homage
and
service
.
Fifthly
,
frequent
the
Sacraments
of
Confession
and
Communion
,
hear
Mass
dayly
and
devoutly
,
be
present
at
holy
exhortations
,
and
give
your self
to
spirituall
lecture
.
Sixtly
,
let
no
day
pass
without
a
speciall
recommendation
of
your self
,
your
fellow-brethren
and
sisters
of
the
ROSARY
,
and
the
Vniversall
Church
(
not
forgetting
our
distressed
Nation
,
her
ancient
Dowry
)
to
your
Mother
of
Powers
care
and
protection
.
Finally
,
make
your
most
humble
and
hearty
addresses
unto
your
Mother
of
Power
in
all
your
pressing
necessities
;
and
doubt
not
but
you
shall
receive
singular
benefits
and
blessings
(
by
your
being
of
this
sacred
Confraternity
)
during
the
course
of
your
life
,
and
singular
comfort
and
confidence
at
the
hour
of
your
death
;
that
is
,
you
shall
live
well
,
and
dye
well
,
which
is
the
happiness
we
all
aim
at
,
and
which
is
my
hearty
and
daily
prayer
for
my self
,
and
for
you
all
,
my
devout
brethren
and
sisters
of
this
most
sacred
and
most
renowned
Arch-Confraternity
of

§.
1.
That
every
faithfull
Christian
ought
to
have
a
particular
devotion
towards
Gods
holy
Mother
,
the
sacred
Virgin
Mary
.
THIS
is
a
Subject
so
generally
handled
,
a
Doctrin
so
universally
received
,
a
verity
so
largely
proved
,
by
all
the
learned
,
holy
,
and
pious
Writers
of
the
Catholique
Church
,
that
the
onely
reading
of
the
Title
seem
a
sufficient
motive
to
mind
all
faithfull
Christians
of
this
duty
and
devotion
,
without
seeking
for
further
Arguments
to
convince
an
undeniable
Tenet
,
which
is
supported
by
such
almost
infinit
multitudes
of
solid
arguments
,
that
the
bare
recitall
thereof
would
swell
this
discourse
(
which
aimes
at
a
compendious
brevity
)
into
many
large
volumes
.
We
shall
therefore
(
both
in
this
and
the
following
points
)
content
our selves
to
declare
the
Truth
,
not
dispute
it
,
to
presuppose
it
,
not
prove
it
,
to
set
down
Maxims
,
not
Problems
;
and
our
endeavours
shall
be
to
excite
the
faithfull
Rosarists
to
this
sort
of
Piety
by
applying
some
of
the
holy
Fathers
pithy
sentences
and
expressions
;
not
to
amuse
their
fancies
,
by
producing
curiosities
,
and
falling
upon
the
subtilties
of
controversies
.
Wherefore
abstracting
here
from
the
sacred
Virgin-Mothers
own
Worth
,
Dignity
,
Prerogatives
,
Perfections
,
Excellencies
,
(
which
are
briefly
touched
in
the
precedent
Oration
,
and
which
are
abundantly
capable
to
ravish
the
whol
World
with
her
love
and
admiration
and
move
them
to
her
honour
and
service
)
we
shall
insist
only
upon
some
of
the
most
signall
benefits
which
redound
to
our selves
by
our
devotion
towards
her
,
reducing
them
to
these
five
generall
heads
.
The
first
is
,
That
she
loves
her
devoted
children
and
servants
.
Though
the
sacred
Virgin
is
call'd
in
the
Churches
Dialect
Mater
pulchrae
dilectionis
,
The
mother
of
love
,
and
charity
;
and
consequently
cannot
but
have
a
generall
●ff●ction
for
all
mankind
:
yet
surely
she
hath
a
particular
kindness
and
tendernes●
,
for
such
as
addict
themselves
to
her
speciall
honour
,
and
dedicate
themselves
to
her
service
;
according
to
that
other
passage
which
holy
Church
also
applyes
to
her
:
Ego
diligentes
me
diligo
;
I
love
them
who
love
me
.
Hence
our
devout
.
St.
Bernard
upon
those
words
of
the
Gospell
:
Ecce
Mater
tua
.
Behold
thy
Mother
,
which
were
delivered
from
the
Cross
by
our
dying
Saviour
,
and
directed
to
his
dear
Minion
Saint
John
,
and
to
all
mankind
in
his
person
,
hath
these
pithy
expressions
:
If
Mary
is
thy
Mother
(
O
Christian
!
)
then
Jesus
is
thy
Brother
then
Chr●sts
Father
,
is
thy
Father
,
then
his
Heaven
is
thy
Inheritance
,
then
Mary's
grace
is
thy
treasure
,
(
for
Mothers
usually
lay
up
treasures
for
their
Children
;
)
then
she
is
sensible
of
all
thy
sufferings
,
sollicitous
to
supply
thy
wants
,
carefull
to
provide
for
thy
necessities
,
(
for
a
Mother
is
tender
over
her
Children
;
)
Therefore
(
O
Christian
!
)
make
choyce
of
Mary
for
thy
Mother
;
For
it
is
impossible
(
says
elsewhere
the
same
devout
Doctor
)
that
she
should
abandon
them
,
who
place
their
confidence
in
her
Patronage
and
Protection
,
since
she
is
the
Mother
of
Mercy
and
compassion
.
Who
would
not
then
become
a
loving
Child
and
obedient
servant
of
so
pious
and
tender
a
Mother
?
who
would
not
strive
to
gain
the
favour
and
affection
of
so
faithfull
a
friend
,
and
so
powerfull
a
Patroness
?
The
second
is
,
That
she
is
liberall
and
bountifull
in
bestowing
benefits
and
favours
upon
her
children
and
servants
.
Worldly
affection
(
if
it
be
true
and
perfect
)
hath
such
power
over
the
heart
of
Man
,
as
to
cause
him
to
confer
freely
upon
his
beloved
object
,
whatsoever
he
most
dearly
prizes
and
esteems
.
And
can
it
be
conceiv'd
that
the
Saints
charity
(
and
particularly
Hers
,
which
far
excels
that
of
all
Men
,
Saints
,
and
Angells
together
)
being
more
perfect
,
should
be
less
liberall
?
The
glorious
Virgin
,
(
say
our
Doctors
)
is
the
Treasuress
of
the
celestiall
Riches
,
the
Dispensatrix
of
Gods
gifts
,
she
carryes
the
keys
of
the
divin
Coffers
:
All
power
is
given
to
you
(
great
Empress
of
both
Worlds
!
says
her
mellifluous
Doctor
)
so
that
you
have
leave
to
do
what
you
please
in
Heaven
and
Earth
!
And
she
is
surely
no
niggard
in
dispensing
them
,
as
being
equally
bountifull
and
powerfull
,
equally
good
and
great
,
equally
courteous
and
charitable
:
Why
dread
you
,
(
O
ye
devout
children
and
servants
of
MARY
,
says
the
same
Doctor
)
to
approach
your
Mother
and
Mistris
?
There
is
nothing
in
her
of
rigidness
and
austerity
;
She
's
full
of
meekness
,
charity
,
courtesie
towards
all
them
that
sue
unto
her
.
I
well
know
(
sayes
the
antient
Father
Theophilactus
)
that
you
(
O
most
glorious
Queen-Mother
!
)
are
the
great
Protectrice
of
mankind
:
And
who
is
he
(
O
mercifull
Princess
!
)
that
having
plac'd
his
confidence
in
you
,
hath
remain'd
confounded
?
Who
is
that
he
or
she
,
amongst
the
children
of
Adam
,
who
having
besought
your
succour
,
and
assistance
,
hath
been
rejected
and
abandon'd
?
Let
's
therefore
make
(
to
her
our
humble
addresses
in
all
our
necessities
,
since
she
is
so
Powerfull
to
assist
us
,
so
Mercifull
to
admit
us
,
so
Ready
to
relieve
us
.
The
third
is
,
that
she
comforts
her
children
and
servants
in
all
their
afflictions
,
persecutions
,
desolations
.
This
follows
from
the
former
:
For
if
(
as
a
most
tender
Mother
)
she
loves
&
cherishes
her
children
&
servants
;
and
show'rs
down
so
many
goods
,
graces
,
and
favours
upon
them
;
she
surely
compassionat's
them
in
ther
pressing
necessities
;
For
it
is
then
chiefly
,
that
true
friendship
shews
it self
,
true
charity
expands
it self
,
true
liberality
diffuses
it self
.
Certainly
(
says
a
pious
Author
)
were
all
the
devout
servants
and
children
of
Mary
summon'd
out
of
their
graves
to
give
in
their
severall
answers
to
this
Interrogation
:
How
oft
have
you
heartily
invok'd
your
holy
Mistris
and
Mother
in
your
necessities
,
and
been
deny'd
her
speedy
succour
and
assistance
?
They
would
unanimously
exclaim
with
her
holy
St.
Bernard
;
Taceat
ille
,
&c.
Let
that
impious
tongue
be
silent
(
O
most
compassionat
Virgin
Mother
!
)
which
dares
falsly
avouch
that
you
have
fail'd
to
help
and
comfort
him
,
whensoever
he
faithfully
call'd
upon
you
in
his
distressed
condition
.
Therefore
St.
German
(
the
Patriark
of
Constantinople
)
thus
addresses
his
discourse
unto
her
:
no
one
is
sav'd
(
O
most
sacred
Virgin
!
)
but
by
your
assistance
:
no
one
if
free
from
miserie
(
O
must
pure
Virgin
!
)
but
by
your
means
:
no
one
receives
Gods
gifts
and
graces
(
O
most
mercifull
Virgin
!
)
but
by
your
mediation
:
No
one
obtains
the
pardon
of
his
offences
,
(
O
Virgin
worthy
of
all
praise
and
honour
!
)
but
by
your
prayers
and
intercession
.
Who
(
says
he
)
after
your
Divin
Son
,
takes
so
much
care
of
poor
Mankind
as
your self
?
Who
so
zealously
defends
and
strengthens
weak
man
in
his
troubles
and
temptations
?
Who
so
readily
succours
him
in
his
afflictions
and
persecutions
?
Who
so
charitably
excuses
his
crimes
,
pleads
his
cause
,
procures
his
pardon
,
and
delivers
him
from
the
severe
punishment
,
which
his
sins
have
justly
deserved
?
Let
therefore
each
afflicted
Soul
(
proceeds
this
holy
Patriark
)
make
to
you
O
Compassionat
Mother
!
his
humble
addresses
:
let
him
who
perceives
his
frail
vessell
to
be
in
danger
of
drowning
amidst
the
impetuous
winds
and
waves
of
this
wicked
and
tempestuous
World
,
cast
his
eyes
up
to
you
(
bright
Star
of
the
Sea
!
)
and
let
him
rest
confident
that
you
will
speedily
and
securely
conduct
him
to
his
desired
haven
.
The
fourth
is
,
That
she
is
their
faithfull
Advocate
in
Heaven
.
The
cause
is
half
gaind
,
that
is
undertaken
by
a
powerfull
Advocate
,
And
who
can
possibly
be
imagin'd
more
Powerfull
,
than
the
Queen-Mother
,
pleading
at
her
own
Sons
Tribunall
?
There
she
sustains
her
childrens
processes
,
embraces
their
protection
,
procures
their
pardon
,
diverts
the
sentence
of
their
deserved
damnation
,
and
omits
nothing
,
which
may
conduce
to
the
appeasing
of
their
soveraign
Judg
,
and
the
saving
of
their
Souls
.
O
faithfull
Patoness
of
afflicted
sinners
!
How
fitly
doth
holy
Church
qualify
you
with
this
Title
?
Eia
ergo
Advocata
nostra
,
&c.
O
therefore
you
our
Advocate
,
Turn
those
your
eyes
of
pitty
sweet
:
Upon
our
miserable
state
,
Thus
prostrate
here
before
your
feet
.
For
(
as
the
learned
Cassian
confirms
)
all
our
affairs
of
highest
importance
are
in
your
holy
hands
,
and
the
salvation
of
all
mankind
consists
in
the
multitude
of
Queen
Mary's
graces
and
favours
.
We
may
therefore
well
hope
for
a
happy
issue
,
since
we
have
an
Advocate
(
says
her
devout
St.
Bernard
)
adorn'd
with
all
the
conditions
,
which
are
requisit
,
and
likely
to
carry
the
cause
,
which
are
three
.
First
,
to
have
credit
at
Court
,
Power
with
the
Prince
,
and
the
Judges
ear
at
command
.
Secondly
,
to
be
knowing
in
the
cause
,
and
capable
of
the
undertaken
charge
.
Thirdly
,
to
be
sedulous
and
faithfull
in
the
prosequution
thereof
.
1.
Now
to
express
our
Queen-Mothers
credit
in
the
Court
of
Heaven
,
and
her
power
with
her
Son
,
exceeds
all
human
and
Angelicall
capacity
:
Let
it
suffice
to
say
,
she
is
his
Mother
,
and
therefore
makes
to
him
her
addresses
(
if
I
may
speak
it
after
our
learned
Saint
Peter
Damian
)
Non
solum
rogans
,
sed
imperans
;
Domina
,
non
Ancilla
;
Not
onely
intreating
but
commanding
,
as
a
Mistris
not
a
handmaid
.
And
St.
Gregory
of
Nicomedia
styles
her
all
Powerfull
in
her
place
of
pleading
the
causes
of
sinners
,
as
being
the
Mother
of
the
Supreme
Judge
.
For
which
reason
holy
Church
frequently
minds
her
of
her
Motherhood
,
and
supplicates
that
she
will
be
pleas'd
to
shew
that
great
authority
wherewith
this
Title
of
Titles
impowers
her
.
Monstra
te
esse
Matrem
,
Sumat
per
te
preces
,
Qui
pro
nobis
Natus
,
Tulit
esse
tuus
.
Do
like
a
mother
bear
Our
prayers
up
to
his
ear
,
Who
,
for
us
born
put
on
The
Title
of
thy
Son
.
2.
Nor
is
she
defective
in
the
second
quality
,
requir'd
in
a
good
Advocate
:
for
surely
she
is
abundantly
capable
to
undertake
this
charitable
charge
,
as
well
knowing
our
calamitous
condition
:
As
Power
is
not
wanting
in
Mary
(
says
St.
Bernard
)
because
she
is
the
Judges
Mother
;
so
neither
is
there
any
want
of
sufficiency
to
plead
,
because
she
is
the
Mother
of
wisdom
;
nor
of
good
will
to
impetrat
and
obtain
the
cause
,
for
she
is
the
Mother
of
mercy
.
3.
Nor
is
there
any
cause
to
question
the
third
condition
,
which
is
a
faithfull
performance
of
this
charge
:
For
how
can
it
be
conceiv'd
,
she
should
be
careless
,
(
in
a
matter
which
is
to
us
of
such
importance
)
being
so
full
of
Clemency
,
Charity
,
Compassion
?
How
affectionately
and
effectually
,
will
she
perform
this
pious
Office
,
who
is
also
our
tender
and
loving
Mother
?
How
shall
she
endure
an
ill
understanding
between
Us
and
the
Judge
our
Brother
;
and
not
rather
seek
by
all
possible
means
to
settle
a
fraternall
Peace
,
to
make
a
friendly
Attonement
,
to
work
a
perfect
Reconciliation
between
Us
?
O
blessed
Virgin
(
exclaims
the
same
St.
Bernard
)
you
are
Mother
both
of
the
Prince
,
and
of
the
banished
Person
;
of
the
Judge
,
and
of
the
Criminall
;
of
God
,
and
of
Man
:
being
therefore
Mother
to
them
both
,
you
may
not
endure
to
see
any
discord
continue
between
them
both
.
The
fifth
is
,
That
she
procures
for
them
a
happy
departure
out
of
this
world
,
the
salvation
of
their
souls
,
and
the
enjoyment
of
eternall
Felicity
.
What
more
can
you
expect
(
O
devout
Children
and
Servants
of
Mary
!
)
than
to
dy
well
,
and
become
eternally
happy
,
which
is
the
end
of
your
Creation
,
and
the
Crown
of
all
your
endeavours
?
And
surely
,
it
is
the
generally
deliver'd
opinion
of
all
the
Doctors
,
that
it
is
impossible
for
any
one
,
who
dy's
a
faithfull
servant
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
to
perish
eternally
:
And
they
give
the
reason
;
because
it
is
not
possible
they
should
dy
impenitent
,
who
have
the
Faith
to
call
heartily
upon
her
,
whose
powerfull
Prayers
will
obtain
for
them
a
disposition
to
grace
,
and
a
contrition
for
their
offences
.
This
is
frequently
asserted
by
Saint
Bernard
(
as
hath
been
before
alleadged
)
And
by
St.
Anselm
in
these
words
:
You
(
O
compassionate
Mary
!
)
embrace
the
poor
sinner
with
a
Motherly
affection
,
and
you
never
leave
him
,
till
your
Son
,
appeased
by
your
prayers
,
gives
him
his
pardon
,
and
receives
him
into
his
favour
and
friendship
.
And
elsewhere
,
O
Beatissima
(
says
St.
Anselm
)
sicut
omnis
a
to
aversus
,
&
a
te
despectus
,
necesse
est
ut
intereat
:
It
a
omnis
ad
te
conversus
,
&
a
te
respectus
,
impossibile
est
ut
pereat
.
O
most
blessed
Mary
!
as
he
must
needs
perish
who
turns
his
back
to
you
,
and
whom
you
reject
from
your
favour
;
so
it
is
impossible
he
should
perish
who
is
zealous
of
your
honour
,
and
whom
you
vouchsafe
to
behold
and
countenance
.
And
Theophilus
;
I
know
(
says
he
)
O
soveraign
Lady
,
that
you
have
too
great
care
of
sinners
to
quit
them
in
their
greatest
necessity
.
And
Origen
,
I
hold
(
says
he
)
as
an
assured
verity
;
that
the
Virgin
Mary
will
never
abandon
that
person
,
who
implores
her
assistance
in
the
time
of
his
necessity
:
for
she
is
full
of
goodness
,
full
of
mercy
,
full
of
grace
,
and
therefore
cannot
refuse
her
compassion
to
him
that
calls
upon
her
.
We
conclude
with
this
sentence
of
the
glorious
Martyr
St.
Ignatius
:
you
(
O
blessed
Mary
!
)
are
the
sacred
Mother
of
the
soveraign
Deity
,
the
true
Mother
of
the
worlds
Saviour
,
the
adopted
Mother
of
the
poor
Sinner
:
receive
me
now
into
the
bosome
of
your
Maternall
mercy
and
compassion
.
§.
2.
That
the
practise
of
the
sacred
Rosary
is
a
Devotion
very
pleasing
to
the
Divin
Majesty
,
profitable
to
our selves
,
and
gratefull
to
the
Blessed
Virgin
.
THis
precedent
Foundation
being
solidly
setled
in
our
hearts
;
(
to
wit
,
that
a
singular
devotion
towards
the
sacred
Virgin
,
is
so
beneficiall
unto
us
;
as
hath
been
briefly
declared
and
abundantly
proved
by
the
express
testimonies
of
so
many
of
our
pious
Fathers
and
Predecessors
;
to
which
many
more
might
have
been
added
,
as
many
be
seen
at
large
in
Jodocus
Coccius
;
in
the
Volume
of
the
sacred
Virgins
Triple
Crown
,
and
in
the
severall
Authors
upon
this
subject
.
It
now
behoves
us
to
choose
out
(
amongst
the
many
wayes
of
honouring
and
serving
Gods
blessed
Mother
)
that
particular
sort
of
devotion
,
which
may
probably
be
most
pleasing
to
God
,
profitable
to
our selves
,
and
gratefull
to
the
most
pure
and
Immaculate
Virgin
.
And
this
(
without
the
least
thought
of
undervaluing
any
ones
judgement
,
or
derogating
from
the
severall
manners
of
honouring
her
,
who
can
never
be
sufficiently
honoured
by
any
human
industry
and
invention
:
)
we
conceive
to
be
the
devout
practice
of
the
sacred
Rosary
.
For
if
we
seriously
consider
its
Extent
,
its
Antiquity
,
its
Generality
,
its
Facility
,
its
large
Community
of
Merits
,
its
vast
Treasures
of
Indulgences
,
and
the
like
prerogatives
,
(
which
are
compendiously
enumerated
in
the
foregoing
Oration
:
)
we
shall
find
it
far
exceeds
all
other
sorts
of
devotion
(
of
this
nature
)
whatsoever
.
And
surely
,
that
manner
of
Prayer
,
cannot
but
be
very
pleasing
to
our
Soveraign
Lord
and
Maker
,
profitable
to
our selves
,
and
gratefull
to
the
blessed
Virgin
,
which
directly
tends
to
the
advancement
of
the
divin
honour
,
to
the
promotion
of
our
own
salvation
,
and
to
the
encrease
of
the
sacred
Virgin
Mothers
glory
.
Now
the
exercises
of
the
holy
Rosary
,
aym
directly
at
these
three
heroick
ends
:
For
first
,
since
the
Rosary
(
as
shall
be
hereafter
declared
)
consists
of
the
two
richest
pieces
of
Christian
Piety
,
which
are
the
Pater
noster
and
Ave
Maria
,
and
of
the
principall
mysteries
of
our
Christian
Faith
,
What
subject
imaginable
can
be
more
proper
,
what
object
possible
can
be
more
powerfull
,
to
rayse
our
Souls
to
the
love
,
prayse
,
and
honour
of
our
Creator
and
Redeemer
,
than
the
due
and
daily
consideration
of
those
Divin
Mysteries
,
which
are
(
as
it
were
)
the
sacred
Tables
,
and
lively
Pictures
,
representing
continually
to
our
memories
,
their
admirable
benefits
,
their
excessive
love
,
their
infinit
liberality
to
Mankind
?
Secondly
,
By
what
Prayers
can
we
more
confidently
promise
to
our selves
the
obtaining
of
our
just
desires
,
(
and
consequently
the
promoting
of
our
salvation
;
)
than
by
the
Pater
noster
dictated
by
our
Redeemers
own
divin
mouth
,
enjoynd
by
his
speciall
command
to
be
frequently
us'd
by
all
faithfull
Christians
,
and
by
him
indu'd
with
so
great
efficacy
and
vertue
?
Thirdly
,
by
what
ladder
of
prayse
,
can
we
more
probably
reach
the
glorious
.
Virgin-Mothers
perfections
than
by
the
Ave
Maria
,
which
was
framed
in
Heaven
by
the
Holy
Trinity
it self
,
and
thence
brought
down
to
the
Earth
by
his
Embassador
,
the
Angel
Gabriel
,
in
which
,
all
the
greatnesses
,
excellencies
,
and
prerogatives
of
Gods
blessed
Mother
,
are
so
briefly
,
distinctly
,
divinly
couched
together
.
(
For
Ave
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
sine
vae
,
without
woe
,
without
sin
,
without
malediction
:
Gratia
plena
,
declares
her
full
of
all
grace
,
vertu
,
and
goodness
,
Dominus
tecum
,
denounces
her
the
happy
Mother
of
the
Almighty
.
)
Since
therefore
the
Ave
Maria
is
a
compendious
abridgment
of
all
the
Virgin-Mothers
prayses
:
Surely
it
must
needs
be
a
salutation
to
her
most
gratefull
,
pleasing
,
and
acceptable
.
§.
3.
That
this
sort
of
devotion
,
is
proper
for
such
Catholiques
as
live
in
Hereticall
Countries
.
THIS
Title
is
chiefly
intended
for
their
satisfaction
,
who
fondly
conceive
,
that
the
use
of
the
Rosary
,
the
devotion
of
the
Bondage
,
and
all
high
manners
of
honouring
Gods
most
holy
Mother
;
are
unfit
,
(
or
at
least
)
improper
and
inconvenient
to
be
practis'd
in
such
places
as
are
overspread
with
heresie
,
and
by
such
persons
as
are
liable
to
persecution
:
because
the
treatises
of
such
subjects
falling
into
their
hands
,
who
are
of
so
contrary
a
judgment
;
turn
commonly
to
their
great
scandall
,
and
to
the
evident
detriment
of
the
Catholique
cause
and
Religion
.
But
this
surely
argues
a
great
weakness
of
their
Faith
,
and
is
a
plain
errour
and
mistake
of
their
understanding
.
For
it
is
there
principally
,
that
this
manner
of
Piety
ought
to
be
most
zealously
practis'd
,
and
most
diligently
propagated
,
where
it
is
most
maliciously
impugn'd
,
and
most
unjustly
and
violently
persecuted
:
and
as
the
deceived
miscreants
of
these
our
dayes
and
in
this
our
Countrey
,
endeavour
(
by
all
manner
of
false
subtilties
,
and
blasphemous
untruths
)
to
derogate
from
the
Soveraign
Queen
Maryes
glory
;
so
it
behoves
every
faithfull
Catholique
,
to
procure
(
with
all
possible
care
,
industry
,
and
devotion
)
the
amplification
&
encrease
of
her
most
just
,
due
and
deserved
honour
and
prayses
.
Moreover
,
though
the
most
sacred
Virgin
Mary
(
being
Gratia
plena
,
full
of
grace
and
goodness
;
Mater
misericordiae
,
the
Mother
of
mercy
and
compassion
;
and
Mater
Dei
,
the
Mother
of
the
Almighty
)
is
both
willing
and
powerfull
to
afford
all
sorts
of
assistances
whatsoever
,
for
which
she
is
humbly
implored
:
Yet
it
is
her
singular
and
peculiar
propertie
,
to
destroy
heresies
,
and
so
to
terrifie
all
the
Satanicall
Armyes
of
her
Sons
and
his
Churches
adversaries
,
that
they
are
defeated
,
and
put
to
flight
,
at
the
sole
appearance
of
her
formidable
presence
and
power
,
who
is
styled
,
Terribilis
ut
castrorum
acies
ordinata
,
Dreadfull
to
these
Rebells
,
as
an
Army
rang'd
in
battail
array
;
And
to
whom
the
Church
joyfully
fings
in
gratulation
of
these
her
signall
victories
:
Gaude
Maria
Virgo
,
cunctas
haereses
sola
interemisti
in
universo
Mundo
,
Rejoyce
(
O
you
glorious
Conqueress
!
who
alone
have
destroyed
all
heresies
in
the
whol
World
.
Nor
is
this
a
lately
invented
Title
,
as
hers
and
our
Enemies
vainly
urge
and
inculcate
:
For
it
is
above
five
hundred
years
since
Saint
Bernard
avouch'd
this
to
be
one
of
the
Mother
of
Powers
speciall
Prerogatives
,
concluding
his
Sermon
(
preach'd
in
the
honour
of
her
glorious
Assumption
)
in
these
words
,
Sola
contrivit
universam
haereticam
pravitatem
,
She
alone
hath
dash'd
all
hereticall
impiety
.
And
well
might
Saint
Bernard
assert
this
proposition
,
who
knew
the
practice
of
past
ages
,
and
had
read
the
writings
of
his
holy
Predecessors
related
in
the
antient
Councells
of
Ephesus
,
and
Chalcedonia
,
against
the
Manicheans
,
Nestorians
,
Hesuidians
and
other
Heretiques
.
For
you
shall
not
find
any
Father
or
Doctor
of
the
Church
;
but
that
before
he
entred
the
lists
to
combat
against
these
cross-grain'd
adversaries
,
he
first
implor'd
the
sacred
Virgin-Mother's
assistance
,
as
well
foreseeing
that
without
the
help
of
her
Powerfull
prayers
,
all
their
writings
,
wrestlings
,
skirmishes
,
would
little
advance
their
own
cause
or
conquest
,
and
as
little
conduce
to
their
Antagonists
confusion
or
conversion
.
Saint
Irenaeus
,
who
lived
in
the
year
180.
and
was
one
of
the
first
Writers
against
Heretiques
,
is
the
first
witness
of
this
verity
,
largely
extolling
Gods
sacred
Mother
,
and
opposing
her
by
many
apt
Antitheses
against
our
first
Parents
indiscretion
,
and
inconstancy
.
Tertullian
,
who
lived
in
the
year
230.
doth
the
like
in
his
learned
Treatise
of
prescriptions
against
Hereticks
.
St.
Athanasius
,
the
great
Antagonist
of
the
Arrians
,
who
lived
in
the
year
304.
conceives
it
better
to
invoke
her
alone
,
and
implore
her
powerfull
assistance
,
than
(
omitting
that
)
to
address
our selves
to
all
the
other
Saints
and
celestiall
Inhabitants
.
St.
Epiphanius
,
who
lived
in
the
year
370.
and
undertook
to
write
against
all
Hereticks
,
honours
her
with
all
sorts
of
prayses
.
St.
Hierome
,
who
is
commonly
called
the
Hammer
of
Hereticks
,
and
liv'd
in
the
year
390.
is
wonderfully
profuse
in
her
prayses
.
Ss.
Augustin
,
the
Churches
Champion
against
the
Pelagians
,
who
lived
in
the
year
420.
says
;
That
she
alone
brought
the
salving
Remedy
to
heal
our
otherwise
incurable
wound
.
And
to
return
to
S.
Bernard
(
who
for
his
singular
devotion
to
this
sacred
Queen
of
Heaven
,
is
frequently
surnam'd
her
Favourite
,
her
Priest
,
her
Chaplain
,
her
Champion
:
)
he
assures
,
that
she
possesses
the
middle
place
,
between
the
Sun
and
the
Moon
;
that
is
,
between
her
son
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
Church
Militant
upon
earth
;
Between
whom
,
she
is
the
perpetuall
Mediatrix
,
as
Christ
is
the
Mediator
between
his
Eternall
Father
and
us
:
adding
elsewhere
:
Nihìl
nos
habere
vult
Deus
,
quod
per
manus
Mariae
non
transiret
.
It
is
the
will
of
the
Almighty
(
say's
he
)
that
we
mortalls
should
have
nothing
,
but
what
passes
through
Mary's
hands
.
Lastly
,
Saint
Dominick
the
great
Patriark
,
and
Institutor
of
this
Arch-Confraternity
of
the
holy
Rosary
,
considering
all
these
things
;
and
being
desirous
to
oppose
the
most
prevailing
Antidote
against
that
most
pestiferous
Poyson
of
the
Albigean
Heresie
(
then
largely
spreading
it self
abroad
,
and
blasphemously
raging
against
the
sacred
Virgins
honour
;
)
judged
it
expedient
,
and
necessary
to
have
recourse
to
this
valiant
Judith
:
And
therefore
(
by
her
own
advice
and
revelation
,
)
he
invented
this
now
practis'd
Rosary
,
consisting
of
the
fifteen
Mysteries
;
recommending
the
use
thereof
to
all
devout
Christians
:
Which
sort
of
Piety
prov'd
so
prevalent
and
succesfull
,
that
soon
after
,
that
Infernall
fire
was
quench'd
,
that
contagious
current
was
stopp'd
,
that
wicked
Heresie
was
utterly
abolished
.
If
we
therefore
lay
hold
of
the
same
means
,
make
use
of
the
same
remedy
,
and
present
the
like
humble
and
hearty
petitions
,
to
the
same
Mother
of
Mercy
and
Power
,
We
may
also
hope
to
obtain
the
same
happy
effects
;
and
to
see
these
our
blind
Adversaries
enlightned
,
these
stray'd
Sheep
reduced
,
these
our
obstinate
Countreymen
converted
.
'T
is
therefore
convenient
for
all
Christians
,
and
proper
for
us
in
particular
,
to
practise
this
sort
of
Piety
and
devotion
to
Gods
glory
,
his
Mothers
honour
,
and
the
extirpation
of
Heresies
.

What
the
Rosary
is
?
THIS
Word
Rosary
,
betokens
properly
,
a
Rose-bed
,
border
,
or
place
planted
with
Rose-trees
:
Or
also
,
it
signifies
the
Bushes
themselves
,
which
bring
forth
the
Roses
upon
their
severall
branches
.
But
as
we
here
understand
it
,
and
generally
all
devout
Christians
practise
it
.
The
Rosary
is
a
spirituall
Posie
,
made
up
of
Mysticall
flowers
,
which
we
present
to
the
glorious
Virgin
Mary
,
the
Mother
of
our
Redeemer
,
as
a
sweet
smelling
garland
to
adorn
her
sacred
head
:
That
is
to
say
;
The
Rosary
,
is
a
certain
peculiar
manner
of
offering
up
our
Prayers
to
the
divin
Majesty
,
in
the
honour
of
his
holy
Mother
;
by
the
recitall
of
one
hundred
and
fiftie
,
(
or
onely
fiftie
)
Angelicall
Salutations
:
interposing
our
Lords
Prayer
between
each
ten
of
them
,
and
meditating
(
in
the
mean
while
)
upon
he
divin
Mysteries
of
our
Redeemers
Incarnation
,
Life
,
and
Passion
.
The
sacred
flowers
whereof
this
Mysticall
Garland
is
compos'd
;
are
the
principall
Prayers
,
and
the
prime
Mysteries
of
our
Religion
.
These
prayers
are
the
Pater
noster
,
and
the
Ave
Maria.
The
First
,
pronounc'd
by
our
Redeemers
mouth
:
The
Second
,
deliver'd
unto
us
,
partly
by
the
heavenly
Ambassadour
,
the
Archangell
Gabriel
;
partly
by
S.
Elizabeth
,
the
holy
Baptist's
Mother
;
partly
by
the
Catholique
Church
.
These
Mysteries
(
which
make
up
,
and
connect
together
these
sacred
Prayers
into
this
sweet
smelling
Posie
,
and
Garland
;
)
are
flowers
of
three
severall
colours
;
Green
,
Red
,
and
Azure
;
of
each
colour
,
Five
;
and
in
the
whol
,
Fifteen
.
The
Green
,
are
the
Mysteries
of
Christs
Incarnation
,
called
Joyfull
,
as
bringing
gladness
to
the
World
.
The
Red
,
are
the
Mysteries
of
our
Redemption
,
called
Dolorous
;
as
being
dy'd
with
the
vermillion
tincture
of
our
Redeemer's
Blood
.
The
Azure
,
are
the
Mysteries
ensuing
upon
our
Saviours
Resurrection
,
call'd
Glorious
,
as
being
commemorations
of
his
,
and
his
Mothers
triumph
.
§.
5.
The
Rosary
is
twofold
;
the
great
Rosary
,
and
the
little
Rosary
.
THE
Great
Rosary
,
is
so
call'd
,
for
that
it
contain's
fifteen
Tens
,
or
Decads
,
(
that
is
,
fifteen
times
ten
Ave's
,
and
fifteen
Paters
,
)
and
hath
all
the
fifteen
Mysteries
to
be
run
over
in
Meditation
,
during
the
time
of
its
recitall
.
And
this
great
Rosary
,
is
otherwise
nam'd
the
Psalter
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
because
it
comprehends
the
same
number
of
Angelicall
Salutations
,
as
the
Prophet
Davids
Psalter
doth
of
Psalm's
.
The
little
Rosary
,
is
so
tearm'd
,
for
that
it
ends
in
five
Tens
or
Decades
;
(
That
is
,
fifty
Ave's
and
five
Paters
;
)
and
takes
only
five
Mysteries
(
during
its
recitall
,
)
for
the
subject
of
its
Meditation
.
And
this
is
commonly
call'd
he
Third
part
of
the
Psalter
;
because
being
thrice
perform'd
,
it
makes
up
the
whol
Psalterium
.
§.
6.
Why
this
manner
of
prayer
is
call'd
the
Rosary
.
FIrst
,
because
as
a
Rose-bed
hath
many
bushes
,
bringing
forth
sweet
Roses
,
which
refresh
and
recreate
the
senses
of
such
as
gather
them
:
So
this
manner
of
praying
contains
a
multitude
of
Paters
and
Ave's
,
which
wonderfully
comfort
,
rejoyce
,
and
perfect
their
souls
,
who
with
a
due
devotion
,
with
an
humble
reverence
to
the
Divin
Presence
,
and
with
a
diligent
attention
to
the
sacred
Mysteries
of
our
Saviours
Life
and
Passion
,
shall
use
and
frequent
them
.
Secondly
:
Because
as
we
commonly
name
such
works
or
collections
,
Rosaries
,
which
contain
the
prime
and
principall
points
,
that
can
be
deliver'd
upon
that
subject
,
(
for
that
the
Rose
is
the
Princess
of
all
flowers
)
:
So
this
manner
of
Devotion
is
fitly
call'd
a
Rosary
,
for
that
it
involves
the
chief
form's
of
Prayer
;
to
wit
,
the
Pater
noster
,
(
which
,
as
Saint
Thomas
largely
proves
,
is
the
prime
of
all
Prayers
,
directed
to
the
Divin
Majesty
)
;
and
the
Ave
Maria
,
which
is
the
chief
of
all
Salutations
directed
to
the
Blessed
Virgin
.
Thirdly
;
because
this
word
Rosary
,
signifies
also
a
Garland
of
Roses
;
which
name
may
properly
be
apply'd
to
this
pious
Exercise
;
it
being
a
certain
spirituall
Crown
&
circular
Garland
compacted
of
these
chief
Prayers
,
and
presented
to
the
Sacred
Virgin
.
Fourthly
:
Because
as
the
Rose-Bush
consists
of
Leaves
,
Prickles
,
Flowers
;
so
this
our
Rosary
is
compos'd
of
Joyfull
,
Dolorous
,
and
Glorious
Mysteries
:
The
Joyfull
,
correspond
to
the
Leaves
;
The
Dolorous
,
resemble
the
prickles
;
The
Glorious
,
sympathize
with
the
Flowers
.
§.
7.
That
the
Rosary
comprehends
the
two
sorts
of
Prayer
;
Vocall
and
Mentall
.
MEntall
Prayer
,
is
conceiv'd
onely
in
the
Soul
and
Spirit
,
without
any
pronunciation
of
words
.
Vocall
Prayer
is
pronounc'd
with
the
Mouth
,
and
also
conceiv'd
in
the
mind
.
The
Mentall
prayer
is
surely
more
perfect
:
First
,
as
being
more
like
that
of
the
celestiall
Inhabitants
.
Secondly
,
As
consisting
in
a
simple
and
quiet
aspect
of
the
understanding
,
without
any
motion
or
mixture
of
discourse
.
Thirdly
,
as
being
more
conceal'd
from
the
sworn
Enemy
of
our
good
;
and
therefore
less
expos'd
to
the
danger
of
his
temptations
,
and
of
externall
distractions
.
And
this
sort
of
Prayer
is
most
proper
for
such
as
have
made
some
progress
in
a
spirituall
course
of
life
,
and
who
can
soar
aloft
upon
the
swift
wings
of
their
internall
desires
,
and
affections
,
fixing
the
eyes
of
their
spirits
upon
the
Eternall
Splendor
of
the
Divinity
it self
which
they
can
as
stedfastly
behold
and
contemplate
,
as
the
Eagle
doth
the
Sun
.
The
vocall
Prayer
,
though
't
is
less
perfect
;
yet
is
conceiv'd
to
be
more
proper
for
the
generality
of
Lay-people
,
and
especially
for
all
ignorant
,
illiterate
,
and
unexperienc'd
souls
,
who
are
commonly
farr
more
capable
to
comprehend
exteriour
words
,
actions
,
and
ceremonies
,
than
the
interiour
ways
and
conceptions
of
the
Spirit
.
Now
,
to
recite
the
sacred
Rosary
as
we
ought
;
we
are
to
make
joint
use
of
both
these
manners
of
Prayer
,
vocall
and
Mentall
:
That
to
pronounce
the
Pater
and
Ave
distinctly
with
our
mouths
:
This
to
meditate
devoutly
upon
the
divin
Mysteries
.
And
this
way
of
vocall
and
mentall
Prayer
may
(
in
a
short
time
of
practise
)
become
easy
and
familiar
,
even
to
the
meanest
capacities
;
if
whil'st
their
tongue
is
employd
in
the
pronunciation
of
the
Prayers
,
their
mind
be
exercised
in
the
Consideration
of
the
respective
Mystery
.
§.
8.
Three
advices
concerning
this
manner
of
Praying
and
Meditating
.
HEre
by
the
way
,
the
devout
Rosarist
may
please
to
take
particular
notice
of
these
three
important
advertisments
.
First
,
That
though
there
are
many
points
set
down
,
and
many
Mysteries
propos'd
for
the
Theams
and
subjects
of
our
Meditations
:
yet
it
is
not
necessary
for
him
to
run
over
all
those
points
;
no
,
nor
all
those
mysteries
as
oft
as
he
recites
the
Rosary
:
but
if
he
can
sweetly
entertain
his
spirit
upon
one
onely
point
,
or
one
onely
Mysterie
;
he
may
not
only
lawfully
,
but
very
laudably
stay
there
,
without
hasting
forward
:
(
like
the
Bee
,
(
which
forsakes
not
that
Flowre
upon
which
she
first
fastens
,
as
long
as
she
finds
any
sweetness
to
be
suck'd
from
it
:
)
referring
the
other
points
and
Mysteries
to
another
spirituall
repast
.
Secondly
,
That
since
in
all
well-order'd
Mentall
Prayer
,
there
is
a
concurrencie
of
the
understanding
and
will
:
(
we
speak
not
here
,
of
that
high
Exercise
of
Recollection
largly
described
in
our
spirituall
Conquest
)
it
being
the
proper
office
of
the
understanding
in
Mentall
Prayer
,
to
move
the
affections
of
the
will
,
and
to
give
it
reasons
to
fly
or
follow
what
is
represented
unto
it
,
as
good
or
evill
;
without
which
concurrency
of
these
two
powers
of
the
soul
,
all
Meditation
would
prove
fruitless
,
and
unprofitable
:
Therefore
the
understanding
is
to
represent
to
its
internall
eyes
,
that
Mystery
(
whereupon
it
intends
to
employ
it self
)
as
if
it
were
then
really
done
and
transacted
before
it
:
Which
is
a
most
efficacious
way
(
as
long
experience
hath
taught
devout
persons
)
,
to
contain
the
spirits
evagation
,
within
its
due
bounds
and
limits
.
Thirdly
,
That
as
soon
as
by
the
diligence
and
discourse
of
the
understanding
,
there
is
discover'd
some
devout
conception
,
the
Will
be
forthwith
excited
to
holy
affections
,
either
of
love
or
hatred
;
of
avoyding
or
embracing
,
of
joy
or
grief
,
according
to
the
subject
of
the
present
Meditation
,
the
suggestion
of
the
understanding
,
and
the
internall
motion
of
Gods
Holy
Spirit
.
For
since
(
as
hath
been
said
)
the
chief
office
of
the
understanding
in
all
mentall
Prayer
,
is
to
inflame
the
Will
with
sacred
affections
;
And
since
Affective
Prayer
(
as
all
spirituall
Authors
agree
)
is
far
more
perfect
in
it self
,
profitable
to
us
,
and
pleasing
to
the
Divin
Majesty
,
than
discoursive
Prayer
;
surely
all
discourses
ought
to
cease
,
as
soon
as
these
affections
are
sufficiently
stirred
and
excited
.
Wherefore
the
devout
Rosarists
,
and
whosoever
aimes
at
the
speedy
amendment
of
his
life
,
and
the
advancement
of
his
soul
in
the
way
of
perfection
by
the
means
of
mentall
prayer
must
take
heed
of
permitting
all
,
or
overmuch
to
his
understanding
,
and
nothing
or
very
little
to
his
Will
;
as
may
more
largly
be
seen
in
the
Maxims
of
our
spirituall
Conquest
.
§.
9.
A
difficultie
concerning
this
conjunction
of
vocall
and
Mentall
Prayer
,
propos'd
and
clear'd
.
BUT
since
the
Recitall
and
sense
of
our
Lords
Prayer
,
and
of
the
Angelicall
Salutation
,
is
altogether
different
and
forraign
,
as
to
the
Meditation
upon
the
Mysteries
:
And
since
our
understanding
cannot
attend
to
severall
objects
,
and
apply
it self
to
the
consideration
of
divers
senses
at
one
and
the
same
time
:
How
can
this
joint
mixture
of
vocall
and
mentall
Prayer
choose
but
dissipate
and
distract
the
spirit
:
and
consequently
destroy
the
soul's
setled
attention
and
recollection
,
which
is
the
very
life
of
all
Prayer
,
and
without
which
the
vocall
rehearsing
of
the
devoutest
words
,
is
but
a
fruitless
lip-labour
;
and
the
meditating
upon
the
divinest
Mysteries
,
is
but
a
meer
loss
of
time
,
and
of
no
effect
and
vertue
.
For
this
reason
,
Some
are
of
opinion
,
that
it
were
not
amiss
to
divide
them
,
in
the
recitall
of
the
Rosary
:
And
because
mentall
Prayer
is
the
higher
,
harder
,
and
perfecter
;
they
give
advice
,
(
following
herein
the
order
of
nature
,
which
generally
proceeds
from
the
less
to
the
greater
)
to
begin
with
the
vocall
recitation
;
thereby
to
excite
their
spirits
ardour
to
ascend
to
the
contemplation
of
the
proposed
Mysterie
:
As
for
example
,
after
the
Rosarist
shall
have
devoutly
recited
his
first
Decade
in
honour
of
the
first
Mysterie
;
he
desists
a
while
from
a
farther
prosecution
of
the
rest
,
till
he
hath
silently
consider'd
that
Mysterie
,
and
drawn
from
thence
some
pious
affections
and
practicall
resolutions
.
Which
way
of
thus
separating
the
vocall
recitall
of
the
Prayers
,
from
the
Mentall
rumination
upon
the
Mysteries
,
though
it
is
undoubtedly
a
very
profitable
practise
:
yet
surely
to
couple
both
together
,
and
so
to
make
this
Prayer
run
upon
two
feet
,
or
rather
fly
with
two
wings
up
to
Heaven
;
seems
far
more
powerfull
and
efficacious
.
For
,
as
concerning
what
is
objected
,
of
the
dissipation
of
our
attētion
by
this
conjunction
of
vocall
&
mentall
prayer
:
The
devout
Rosarist
may
confidently
ground
himself
upon
the
doctrin
deliver'd
in
our
Spirituall
Conquest
,
and
derived
from
S.
Thomas
:
That
all
vocall
Prayers
(
to
render
them
profitable
)
must
necessarily
be
accompanied
with
some
one
of
these
three
Attentions
:
The
first
is
,
an
Attention
to
the
Words
;
pronouncing
them
cleerly
,
entirely
,
distinctly
:
which
Attention
is
good
and
sufficient
:
The
second
is
,
an
Attention
to
the
true
sense
,
and
meaning
of
the
words
,
whether
Literall
or
Mysticall
;
which
Attention
is
much
better
,
(
and
more
profitable
for
such
as
can
practise
it
)
,
but
not
absolutly
necessary
;
because
they
who
pray
in
a
language
they
understand
not
,
cannot
possibly
attain
to
it
,
and
yet
(
according
to
the
Churches
decision
,
and
all
our
Doctors
opinion
)
they
cease
not
therefore
to
pray
profitably
.
The
third
is
,
an
Attention
to
the
end
,
at
which
all
pious
Christians
aym
in
all
their
Prayers
,
and
which
is
principally
Gods
honour
and
glory
,
the
salvation
of
their
own
soul's
,
and
the
good
of
their
neighbour
:
which
Attention
is
best
of
all
,
and
most
benefi
iall
:
for
it
is
so
ample
,
that
it
supplyes
all
the
defects
of
the
two
former
;
and
so
easie
,
that
the
most
simple
Idiot
may
procure
it
,
in
whatsoever
language
he
powrs
forth
his
petitions
.
Now
the
usuall
and
ordinary
way
of
reciting
the
Rosary
by
interlacing
vocall
and
mentall
Prayer
,
doth
not
at
all
hinder
or
divert
the
thought
(
thus
fixed
and
directed
by
the
understanding
)
,
from
this
chief
and
common
end
;
nor
putts
the
least
impediment
to
this
last
,
principall
,
and
onely
necessary
Attention
.
§.
10.
Of
the
Advantage
,
which
this
Confraternitie
of
the
Rosary
,
hath
above
all
others
in
point
of
Communication
of
Merits
.
THough
every
zealous
Christian
(
by
concurring
with
Gods
every
where
profferr'd
grace
)
;
may
so
duly
,
diligently
,
and
perseverantly
practise
his
Devotions
in
his
own
privat
Oratory
;
as
to
arrive
at
the
perfection
of
vertu
,
and
the
salvation
of
his
soul
:
yet
these
heights
are
not
there
obtain'd
with
that
alacrity
,
facilitie
,
security
;
as
by
being
joyn'd
to
sacred
Confraternities
;
which
are
the
Academies
of
Devotion
,
the
Schools
of
sanctity
,
the
Buttresses
of
Religion
,
Piety
perfection
:
And
where
(
under
the
observation
and
Practise
of
certain
spirituall
exercises
,
tending
to
the
common
end
of
our
Creation
)
the
fervour
and
good
examples
of
his
faithfull
Associats
,
warm
his
Tepidity
,
excite
his
Piety
,
and
add
the
continuall
fewell
of
courage
and
constancy
to
his
holy
Resolutions
;
according
to
that
saying
of
the
Wiseman
:
Si
unus
ceciderit
fulcietur
ab
altero
&c.
where
many
are
united
together
,
if
one
falls
,
he
may
be
rais'd
up
by
his
fellow
;
and
if
one
be
assaulted
,
two
may
be
able
to
repulse
the
adversary
.
For
,
Funiculus
triplex
difficile
rumpitur
:
A
triple
cord
(
says
he
)
is
not
easily
broken
:
And
one
man
alone
,
is
as
a
small
,
single
,
slender
threed
;
feeble
,
frail
,
and
easily
pash'd
in
peeces
;
but
being
twisted
and
ty'd
to
many
others
by
the
strong
bands
of
a
spirituall
friendship
,
he
becoms
formidable
to
all
his
Infernall
Enemyes
.
And
this
by
reason
of
the
mutuall
succour
of
their
multipli'd
prayers
and
merits
,
according
to
that
pithy
expression
of
Saint
Ambrose
;
Dum
singuli
orant
pro
omnibus
,
sequitur
ut
omnes
orent
pro
singulis
.
When
as
every
single
person
pray's
for
all
,
it
follows
,
that
all
pray
for
every
single
person
.
Now
,
though
generally
in
all
confraternities
,
there
is
a
Communication
of
prayers
,
merits
,
and
spirituall
goods
,
yet
not
in
all
alike
.
And
this
is
the
particular
point
,
wherein
this
Arch-Confraternity
of
the
Rosary
,
seems
to
excell
all
others
;
In
which
(
according
to
their
severall
Institutes
,
Approbations
,
Intentions
,
)
this
participation
of
Prayers
and
Communitie
of
Merits
,
is
confin'd
to
some
certain
place
,
where
they
are
receiv'd
,
and
to
that
congregation
whereof
they
are
children
and
members
.
Whereas
the
Brethren
and
Sisters
of
this
Arch-confraternitie
,
being
any
where
receiv'd
are
every
where
priviledg'd
;
and
who
so
is
inroll'd
in
this
Book
of
our
Blessed
Lady
of
Power
,
is
forthwith
made
a
happy
partaker
of
all
their
spirituall
perfections
,
who
are
registred
in
Rome
,
in
Paris
,
in
any
place
of
the
whole
universe
.
The
learned
Doctor
Navar
,
gives
the
reason
hereof
:
Because
(
says
he
)
this
Communication
is
express'd
and
declar'd
in
the
Statuts
,
Erections
,
and
Confirmations
of
this
Confraternity
,
without
which
particular
expression
they
could
not
enjoy
that
speciall
priviledg
.
For
confraternities
are
certain
associations
of
severall
people
together
;
In
societatem
autem
non
veniunt
nisi
bona
expressa
(
say
the
Jurists
)
In
Societies
,
there
is
no
farther
communication
of
any
goods
amongst
the
associated
persons
,
than
only
of
such
as
are
express'd
in
the
contract
of
association
:
Therefore
(
proceeds
this
famous
Canonist
)
Hanc
communicationem
universalem
ipse
tanto
magis
suspicio
,
quanto
minus
memini
logere
,
per
aliarum
Confratriarum
Statuta
,
esse
similem
factam
.
I
set
a
higher
price
upon
this
Confraternity
,
by
reason
of
this
universall
Communication
,
for
that
I
remember
not
to
have
read
the
like
in
the
constitutions
of
any
other
Confraternity
.
Besides
this
Priviledge
,
which
gives
the
Confraternity
of
the
Rosary
a
precedency
before
all
its
collateralls
;
and
which
is
thus
briefly
here
insisted
upon
(
not
to
obscure
their
lustre
,
but
to
blazon
its
own
splendor
)
there
is
yet
another
,
in
which
it
also
much
more
surpasses
all
other
confraternities
whatsoever
:
Which
is
;
The
vast
Treasure
of
Indulgences
conferr'd
upon
it
by
the
prime
Pastors
of
the
Church
;
there
having
been
no
Pope
,
since
Sixtus
quartus
,
who
hath
not
liberally
layd
open
the
Churches
Store-house
to
enrich
the
sacred
Rosary
,
and
added
new
benefits
to
his
predecessors
bounty
,
as
will
apear
by
the
sequall
of
this
discourse
.
§.
11.
Of
Indulgences
in
generall
.
BEfore
we
give
in
the
large
Catalogue
of
Indulgences
,
it
may
be
very
convenient
to
declare
the
nature
,
reason
,
and
ground
of
all
Indulgences
(
with
as
much
brevity
and
plainess
as
is
possible
)
for
their
information
,
whose
capacities
cannot
reach
the
intelligence
of
School-Divinity
.
It
is
therefore
an
assured
Tenet
amongst
all
Orthodox
Authors
;
(
as
is
elsewhere
largly
declared
in
our
Oration
of
Indulgences
,
and
may
be
abundantly
prov'd
by
many
express'd
passages
of
Holy
Writ
)
:
That
when
our
Mercifull
Creator
pardons
the
fault
of
a
converted
sinner
;
he
doth
not
always
remit
the
punishment
,
which
he
hath
thereby
deserved
.
Adam
and
Eve
,
the
first
sinners
;
and
the
first
Penitents
,
were
surely
pardon'd
,
and
yet
severely
punish'd
;
for
neither
was
he
restored
to
the
priviledg
of
Immortality
;
nor
she
exempted
from
the
pangs
of
childing
.
God
pardon'd
his
Idolatrous
people
,
by
the
interecession
of
Moyses
but
bids
them
expect
to
be
punish'd
in
the
day
of
his
revenge
.
Nathan
declar'd
King
David
absolv'd
from
his
Adultery
;
and
yet
God
visited
him
for
the
chastisement
of
the
same
crime
with
many
rigorous
adversities
.
Our
Originall
Sin
,
is
remitted
in
Baptism
,
and
yet
our
understandings
remain
still
punish'd
with
ignorance
;
our
wills
with
malice
,
and
all
the
faculties
of
our
bodyes
and
souls
with
sensualitie
and
Rebellion
against
our
Reason
.
From
which
(
and
other
infinit
examples
)
we
must
needs
infer
.
That
when
the
fault
is
pardon'd
,
the
punishment
is
not
always
relaxed
,
and
consequently
:
That
after
our
Reconciliation
to
the
Divin
Mercy
,
by
our
due
Contrition
,
Confession
,
and
Conversion
,
we
are
still
liable
to
make
satisfaction
to
the
Divin
Justice
.
This
then
being
suppos'd
as
most
certain
:
-
First
;
That
whosoever
offends
God
mortally
;
on
the
one
side
committs
a
fault
,
and
on
the
other
side
contracts
an
Obligation
to
satisfie
for
it
,
(
which
are
called
culpa
,
and
poena
.
)
-
Secondly
,
That
the
Fault
may
be
pardon'd
by
Confession
,
and
the
penaltie
,
by
Penance
and
satisfaction
;
either
in
this
World
,
or
in
the
next
.
-
Thirdly
,
That
few
in
this
world
,
either
do
or
can
fulfill
that
penance
,
which
their
sins
deserve
:
Hence
it
is
,
That
every
sinner
stands
in
need
of
some
forraign
assistance
,
to
warrant
him
from
the
flames
of
Purgatory
;
in
which
he
must
pay
,
Usque
ad
ultimum
quadrantem
,
Even
to
the
last
farthing
,
who
hath
not
payd
it
in
this
world
.
And
this
Assistance
must
necessarily
be
deriv'd
unto
us
from
the
superabundant
merits
of
our
Blessed
Redeemer
,
whose
precious
Blood
,
Death
,
and
Passion
,
is
the
prime
source
of
all
Christians
merit
and
satisfaction
.
Now
(
say
our
learned
Divins
)
,
The
same
blood
of
our
Saviour
,
which
hath
merited
for
us
a
Remission
of
our
crimes
,
and
a
Reconciliation
to
Gods
favour
;
is
also
applyed
to
us
,
for
the
relaxation
of
our
deserv'd
punishments
,
By
four
manners
of
means
;
-
First
,
By
means
of
the
Sacraments
:
-
Secondly
,
By
means
of
some
Heroique
Act
of
Charitie
,
such
as
is
Martyrdom
,
&c.
-
Thirdly
,
By
means
of
satisfactory
works
done
in
the
state
of
Grace
,
such
as
are
Almesdeeds
,
Fasting
,
and
Prayer
.
-
Fourthly
,
by
the
means
of
Indulgences
.
The
First
three
,
are
the
Ordinary
means
,
whereby
our
Redeemers
Satisfactions
are
apply'd
unto
us
:
The
last
(
of
Indulgences
)
is
the
extraordinary
means
,
whereby
they
are
also
apply'd
unto
us
;
either
by
our
Saviour
himself
immediatly
,
or
by
him
instrumentally
,
who
is
intrusted
with
this
power
by
our
Saviours
own
concession
,
express'd
in
these
words
:
Tibi
dabo
claves
Regni
Coelorum
,
&c.
I
will
give
to
thee
,
(
O
Peter
!
)
the
Keys
of
my
heavenly
Kingdom
:
Whatsoever
thou
shalt
bind
upon
Earth
,
shall
be
bound
in
Heaven
;
and
whatsoever
thou
shalt
loose
on
Earth
,
shall
be
loosed
in
Heaven
.
Whereupon
St.
Cyprian
,
St.
Ambrose
and
St.
Augustin
(
Three
very
sufficient
Doctors
to
ground
an
opinion
)
conclude
,
That
by
this
generall
tearm
,
Quodcunque
,
whatsoever
;
We
are
absolutely
prohibited
to
put
in
any
exception
,
and
expresly
oblig'd
to
believe
,
That
whatsoever
(
whether
offence
or
punishment
)
St.
Peter
(
and
consequently
his
successors
the
Popes
)
shall
unbind
upon
Earth
,
shall
be
unbound
also
in
Heaven
.
And
this
large
power
must
of
necesty
belong
to
the
Keys
;
(
says
the
Councill
of
Lateran
)
since
they
are
expresly
given
to
take
away
all
obstacles
,
which
may
hinder
our
entrance
into
Heaven
:
As
therefore
there
is
a
double
hinderance
;
the
Fault
,
and
the
Pain
;
so
the
Keys
,
must
be
capable
to
open
both
these
dores
,
to
make
them
compleat
and
perfect
.
From
all
which
,
may
be
gathered
this
brief
definition
of
an
Indulgence
.
That
,
It
is
a
gift
,
a
Relaxation
,
an
Acquittance
of
the
temporall
pain
,
due
to
the
Divin
Justice
for
the
sins
already
pardon'd
by
Confession
.
And
this
Relaxation
is
twofold
;
Generall
,
when
the
Indulgence
is
Plenarie
,
which
quits
us
from
all
the
pain
due
to
our
sins
.
And
Restrain'd
,
when
the
Indulgence
imports
only
some
certain
number
of
Day
's
,
Quarantins
,
and
year
's
of
Pardon
.
When
therefore
you
find
in
the
Popes
concessions
,
an
Indulgence
of
so
many
days
,
Quarantins
,
or
years
:
you
are
to
understand
it
of
the
days
and
years
of
this
world
,
and
not
of
Purgatory
:
As
for
example
,
He
that
gains
an
Indulgence
of
an
Hundred
years
,
satisfies
the
divin
Justice
,
as
much
,
as
if
for
an
hundred
years
space
he
had
done
severe
Penance
.
So
likewise
a
Quarantin
is
as
much
as
if
he
had
Fasted
a
whol
Lent
,
according
to
the
custom
,
and
so
of
the
rest
.
Where
you
must
take
notice
;
That
for
every
mortall
sin
,
the
sacred
Canons
ordain
seven
years
Penance
:
so
that
for
14.
or
15.
Mortall
crimes
,
he
who
hath
committed
them
,
should
in
rigour
undergo
an
hundred
years
penance
,
which
is
above
the
age
and
ability
of
human
nature
.
Whereby
appears
the
great
profit
of
Indulgences
,
to
solace
our
weakness
,
and
shorten
our
pains
;
whch
must
surely
otherwise
be
payd
to
the
divin
Justice
,
either
by
severe
Penance
in
this
world
,
on
by
more
severe
punishments
in
the
next
;
though
not
necessarily
long
:
since
they
may
be
intensively
so
rigorous
,
that
one
day
there
may
be
in
quantity
and
quality
of
punishments
,
more
than
seven
years
Penance
of
this
World
.
But
you
may
ask
,
what
means
a
plenary
,
and
a
Quarantin
,
or
a
plenary
,
and
Ten
yearts
granted
together
?
Rodriguez
answers
,
That
it
is
to
satisfie
such
pains
as
are
due
to
veniall
sins
,
of
which
pains
,
we
are
not
acquitted
by
the
plenary
.
Others
(
as
Valentia
and
Corduba
)
say
better
,
That
they
are
added
ad
cautelam
,
for
more
security
;
That
so
,
if
by
reason
of
some
defect
,
we
ga●n
not
the
greater
Indulgence
,
we
may
at
least
obtain
the
lesser
.
§.
12.
Three
necessar
I
Advertisements
for
the
gaining
of
Indulgences
.
BUT
here
the
devout
Rosarists
are
to
take
three
Advices
:
The
first
is
:
That
Indulgences
are
not
indifferently
obtain'd
by
all
sorts
of
persons
but
by
such
only
as
have
duly
,
and
diligently
purified
,
prepar'd
,
and
dispos'd
their
souls
to
receive
them
by
precedent
Penance
:
Or
,
have
led
their
lives
in
such
Innocencie
,
since
their
last
confession
as
that
they
continue
in
the
state
of
Grace
:
Or
have
made
an
Act
of
Contrition
,
and
detestation
of
their
mortall
sins
,
with
purpose
of
confessing
them
in
fit
time
,
and
avoyding
them
for
the
future
.
The
second
is
,
That
they
must
obey
such
other
particular
commands
,
as
the
Bulls
of
Indulgences
import
:
That
is
;
They
must
punctually
perform
the
enjoyn'd
Actions
of
Almes-deeds
,
Fastings
,
Prayers
,
Processions
,
visitations
of
Altars
,
and
all
other
the
works
of
devotion
and
piety
there
expressed
.
The
third
is
,
That
they
must
offer
up
their
devotions
,
for
these
generally
recommended
ends
and
intentions
in
all
the
concessions
of
Indulgences
.
-
1.
For
the
increase
of
Gods
honour
and
glory
.
-
2.
For
the
exaltation
of
the
Catholique
Church
.
-
3.
For
the
prosperity
of
the
Sea
Apostolique
.
-
4.
For
the
peace
of
Christian
Princes
.
-
5.
For
the
Re-union
of
Schismatiques
.
-
6.
For
the
Conversion
of
Heretiques
.
-
7.
For
the
correction
of
sinners
.
-
8.
For
the
Consolation
of
the
afflicted
,
both
living
and
departed
.
§.
13.
Of
the
Indulgences
conferr'd
upon
the
Confraternity
of
the
Rosary
.
AND
now
let
's
produce
the
promis'd
Treasures
of
the
Indulgences
themselves
.
In
the
discovery
whereof
.
First
,
we
shall
mention
none
but
such
as
are
expresly
avouch'd
by
approv'd
and
authenticall
Authors
,
and
directly
drawn
out
of
the
Popes
Bulls
and
Indults
.
For
since
Clement
the
fifth
in
the
Councill
of
Vienna
,
hath
impos'd
a
formall
precept
in
vertue
of
holy
obedience
,
and
upon
pain
of
incurring
eternall
damnation
,
on
all
such
as
shall
presume
to
promulgate
any
Indiscreet
,
that
is
(
as
the
Gloss
in
Clem.
Verb.
Religiosi
,
explicats
)
not
granted
Indulgences
,
we
have
carefully
(
as
behoves
us
)
endevoured
to
avoid
the
penalty
,
by
diligently
and
painfully
examining
each
particular
Concession
here
set
down
and
deliver'd
.
Secondly
,
we
shall
purposely
omit
the
multitude
of
less
Indulgences
,
which
remit
certain
day's
,
years
and
Quarantins
of
enjoyn'd
penances
,
and
set
down
onely
the
plenary
Indulgences
,
which
are
abundantly
numerous
to
satisfy
the
most
covetous
Christians
devotion
.

ANd
these
are
a
chief
part
of
that
vast
treasure
of
Indulgences
and
priviledges
,
granted
to
the
Arch-Confraternity
of
the
sacred
Rosary
The
rest
(
being
of
less
consequence
)
would
(
we
conceive
)
be
as
tedious
to
be
read
,
as
they
are
indeed
needless
to
be
known
by
them
who
shall
duly
consider
,
That
besides
the
particular
Indulgences
(
which
are
determined
to
certain
days
,
times
,
and
places
)
there
are
others
which
are
generall
,
unlimited
,
perpetuall
,
and
which
we
shall
briefly
set
before
you
(
as
a
close
of
this
Catalogue
of
Indulgences
)
in
these
two
chief
heads
,
drawn
out
of
what
is
before
delivered
.
I.
Every
day
a
Plenary
.
THe
first
is
;
That
they
who
are
of
the
Rosary
,
in
the
state
of
Grace
,
and
having
a
generall
Intention
to
pray
for
such
ends
as
are
required
:
(
which
are
the
three
conditions
absolutely
necessary
for
the
obtaining
of
any
of
these
Indulgences
)
,
may
gain
a
Plenary
,
upon
every
day
in
the
year
;
and
consequently
every
hour
of
their
whol
life
,
By
performing
any
one
of
these
things
following
.
-
1.
Saying
the
Rosary
.
-
2.
Celebrating
the
Mass
of
the
Rosary
.
-
3.
Causing
it
to
be
said
.
-
4.
Hearing
it
.
-
5.
Visiting
five
Altars
(
or
one
if
there
be
no
more
)
and
saying
five
Paters
and
Aves
before
each
Altar
or
25.
before
the
one
.
The
consequence
hereof
is
most
cleere
.
First
,
because
a
Plenary
is
annex'd
to
the
due
performance
of
these
Acts
of
Piety
,
toties
quoties
,
how
oftsoever
they
are
don
,
without
any
restriction
.
Secondly
,
because
at
Rome
,
in
the
Church
of
St.
John
Lateran
,
there
may
be
gain'd
a
Plenary
,
(
if
any
one
pleases
)
six
times
every
day
;
and
in
each
one
of
the
seven
Churches
of
the
Stations
.
All
which
,
and
all
other
City-Indulgences
,
are
granted
to
all
the
Brothers
and
Sisters
of
the
Rosary
(
performing
the
devotions
aforesaid
)
wheresoever
dispersed
throughout
the
whol
world
:
by
Leo
the
tenth
22.
of
May
1518.
and
by
the
succeeding
Chief
Pastors
.
II.
Every
day
a
Soul
out
of
Purgatory
.
THe
second
is
,
That
they
may
every
day
,
(
praying
,
and
being
disposed
as
aforesaid
)
obtain
the
deliverance
of
a
Soul
out
of
Purgatory
;
which
directly
follows
from
the
former
:
First
,
since
all
the
Indulgences
granted
to
the
living
,
may
be
applyed
for
the
dead
.
Secondly
,
since
at
Rome
,
there
is
every
day
,
in
one
part
or
other
of
the
City
the
delivery
of
a
Soul
out
of
Purgatory
.
The
Particular
grants
of
all
these
before
recited
Indulgences
may
be
seen
at
large
in
Peter
Louuet
,
Alphonsus
Fernandez
,
Andreas
Coppensteínius
,
and
other
Fathers
of

The
Generall
Rules
and
Statutes
of

IT
is
(
in

)
to
be
presupposed
,
That

as
he
shall
conceive
requisite
for
his
assistance
in
order
to
the
managing
of
the
publick
affaires
of
the
Confraternity
.
Secondly
,
That
there
be

,

which
all
the
Brethren
and

have

hereby
forbidden
:
But
it
is
inhibited
to

Secondly
,
to
the
end
the
Poor
,
as
well
as
the
Rich

,
or
this

,
though
they
be
presently

,
(
performing
for
their
deceased
friends
,
such
pious
duties
&
devotions
as
the
Rules
demand
,
)
shall
desire
and
procure
it
.
Annotation
.
THis
is
grounded
upon
that
Maxim
;
That
all
the
Indulgences
,
which
may
be
obtain'd
by
the
living
,
are
also
applicable
to
the
Dead
;
The
fifth
Rule
.
ALl
the
Brothers
and
Sisters
are
obliged
to
recite
once
every
week
,
the
entire
Rosary
,
or
whol
Psalter
;
which
they
may
(
as
themselves
please
)
either
perform
together
,
or
divide
into
three
parts
,
for
their
greater
ease
and
conveniency
.
Annotation
.
THe
whol
Psalter
or
Rosary
,
(
as
is
before
declar'd
§.
5.
)
is
compos'd
of
15.
Paters
and
150.
Aves
:
The
three
parts
contain
each
one
five
Paters
,
and
fifty
Aves
.
The
Creed
is
commonly
and
commendably
recited
in
the
beginning
,
and
added
to
the
end
of
every
third
part
;
with
some
other
prayers
,
(

shall
be
hereafter
set
down
,
)

are
no
necessary
part
thereof
.
The
sixth
Rule
.
IN
case
of
any
lawfull
Impediment
,
the
brothers
and
sisters
,
causing
the
Rosary
to
be
recited
for
them
by
another
,
satisfy
their
own
obligation
.
Annotation
.
THis
is
to
be
understood
of
some
sufficiently
excusing
circumstance
;
for
it
is
dangerous
to
trust
a
Procurator
,
when
we
traffick
for
Paradise
.
The
seventh
Rule
.
IF
through
forgetfulness
,
multiplicity
of
Employments
,
or
negligence
,
(
and
not
out
of
contempt
)
they
omit
this
weekly
Recitall
of
the
Rosary
,
It
is
no
sin
,
but
only
a
privation
(
for
that
time
,
)
of
such
spirituall
benefits
,
whereof
they
should
otherwise
have
been
partakers
.
Annotation
.
YEa
,
if
through
carelesness
and
tepidity
,
any
one
shall
for
a
long
time
neglect
the
saying
of
the
Rosary
;
he
ceaseth
not
therefore
to
be
a
member
of
this
Confraternity
but
may
return
to
his
wonted
devotions
,
and
re-obtain
the
usuall
graces
and
benefits
without
any
new
admission
.
The
eighth
Rule
.
ALl
the
Rosarists
should
be

,
which
are
uually
perform'd
in
the
Head-Chappell
,
upon
all
the
Feast-days
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
and
first
Sundays
of
the
months
.
Annotation
.
THis
is
enjoyned
by
Pius
4.
in
his
Brief
Dum
Praeclara
,
&c.
Both
for
the
gaining
of
such
Plenary
Indulgences
as
are
then
,
and
there
granted
.
And
also
,
that
the
devout
Rosarists
,
may
honour
their
sacred
Virgin-Mother
with
their
presence
,
and
unitedly
implore
her
Patronage
and
Protection
.
The
ninth

morrows
of
our
Blessed
Ladyes
four
principall
Festivities
;
which
are
her
Nativity
,
Annunciation
,
Purification
,
Assumption
.
At
which
,
all
the
Rosarists
should
also
assist
,
that
they
may
expect
the
same
piety
from
their
surviving
Brethren
for
themselves
after
their
own
decease
.

SInce
these

(
as

THis
solemnity
was
thus
translated
(
from
the
25.
of
March
to
the
first
Sunday
of
October
)
by
Pope
Gregory
the
13.
who
instituted
the
Feast
of
our
Blessed
Lady
,
under
the
title
of
the
Rosary
,
as
appears
at
large
in
his
Brief
beginning
,
Monet
Apostolus
,
the
first
of
April
.
1573.
and
ordain'd
it
should
be
(
upon
that
first
Sunday
of
October
)
perpetually
celebrated
in
the
Catholique
Church
;
for
an
Eternall
and
gratefull
rememoration
of
that
most
remarkable
and
altogether
miraculous
Navall
victory
gained
over
the
Turks
,
by
a
handfull
of
Christians
under
the
conduct
of
Don
John
of
Austria
,
in
the
Bay
of
Lepanto
in
the
Gulf
of
Achaia
,
upon
the
7th
day
of
October
,
which
was
then
the
first
Sunday
of
that
month
in
the
year
of
our
Redeemer
1571.
about
the
end
of
Pius
quintus's
Popedom
,
(
who
was
the
zealous
promotor
of
this
holy
war
)
and
at
the
beginning
of
the
Popedom
of
his
no
less
zealous
successor
Gregory
the
thirteenth
.
In
which
happy
conflict
,
twenty
of
the
Enemy's
Galley's
were
consum'd
with
fire
;
as
many
more
inguif'd
by
the
waves
;
one
hundred
and
fourscore
taken
,
the
great
Bashaw
with
twenty
five
thousand
Turkish
Soldiers
slain
in
the
place
,
most
of
the
residue
brought
away
captives
,
twenty
thousand
Christians
freed
from
their
sl●very
,
and
the
Catholique
Cause
asserted
from
most
imminent
danger
and
calamity
.
And
this
glorious
victory
was
obtain'd
(
as
is
piously
conceiv'd
,
says
this
holy
Pope
Gregory
in
his
Bull
aforesaid
)
by
the
Prayers
of
the
devout
Rosarists
,
who
even
at
that
very
time
,
were
making
their
publick
Processions
in
the
severall
parts
of
Christendom
for
this
end
,
most
earnestly
imploring
the
divin
assistance
,
(
by
the
Intercession
of
their
powerfull
Mother
)
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
protect
his
Church
in
her
pressing
necessity
,
and
favour
the
just
designs
of
those
generous
souls
,
who
were
then
exposing
their
lives
for
the
preservation
of
their
Faith
.
Nor
did
the
effect
fail
(
but
rather
exceed
)
their
hopes
and
expectation
;
as
hath
been
briefly
declar'd
.
The
eleventh
Rule
.
THe
third
Sunday
of
Aprill
is
also
to
be
solemniz'd
by
the
devout
Rosarists

according
to
the
grant
of

13.
in
his
Bull

Annotation

THe
reason
of
the
Institution
of
this
solemnity
,
was
the
signall
Miracle
which
hapned
in
the
City
of
Pavia
;
and
which
was
briefly
thus
.
When
in
the
year
1578.
all
Italy
,
and
particularly
Lumbardy
,
and
more
particularly
the
City
Pavia
,
was
afflicted
with
a
violent
Plague
:
The
Inhabitants
(
by
advice
of
the
then
and
there
Director
of
the
Rosary
)
had
recourse
to
the
sacred
Virgin-Mother
in
this
their
extreme
and
urgent
necessity
;
vowing
to
erect
a
Chappell
,
which
should
be
dedicated
Virgini
liberatrici
,
after
their
deliverance
from
this
eminent
danger
.
The
Mother
of
Mercy
heard
their
prayers
;
obtain'd
for
them
a
present
redress
of
their
miseries
,
an
entire
cessation
of
the
raging
Pestilence
;
and
they
gratefully
perform'd
their
promises
,
building
a
most
sumptuous
Chappell
to
her
honour
.
Seraphinus
Siccus
,
Generall
of
St.
Dominicks
Order
,
was
an
eye-witness
of
this
famous
Miracle
.
And
Pope
Gregory
the
13.
gave
most
ample
and
Plenary
Indulgences
to
all
such
as
should
devoutly
visit
the
Chappell
aforesaid
upon
the
third
Sunday
of
April
:
which
Indulgences
were
afterwards
extended
by
the
same
Gregory
13.
and
Sixtus
quintus
to
all
the
other
Confraternities
of
the
sacred
Rosary
throughout
the
world
.
§.
15.
The
form
of
receiving
Brothers
and
Sisters
into
this
sacred
Confraternity
:
With
the
blessing
of
their
Bedes
,
Roses
,
and
Candles
.
And
a
form
of
Generall
Absolution
at
the
hour
of
Death
.
WHen
the
Dean
of
the
Rosary
hath
maturely
and
prudently
consider'd
the
quality
and
condition
of
the
person
who
desires
an
admittance
into
this
sacred
Confraternity
;
[
Which
is
a
caution
onely
necessary
for
such
Countreys
and
places
where
the
Catholique
Faith
and
profession
is
under
restraint
,
and
where
there
may
be
danger
of
Persecution
.
For
where
our
Religion
is
permitted
to
its
full
and
free
exercise
,
there
needs
no
scruple
be
made
of
admitting
any
one
to
the
Rosary
,
who
humbly
petitions
for
it
,
unless
it
be
such
a
Person
,
whose
life
and
conversation
is
notoriously
and
publickely
scandalous
,
without
hope
of
his
being
reclaim'd
from
his
wickedness
:
]
He
writes
down
his
name
,
and
enrolls
him
in
the
Register-book
of
the
Rosary
.
Which
done
,
he
causes
the
man
or
woman
to
kneell
down
,
before
the
Altar
of
the
Rosary
,
(
if
it
be
there
present
,
)
or
some
other
devout
picture
,
or
in
any
place
whatsoever
(
as
opportunity
shall
permit
,
)
with
a
Rosary-Candle
in
his
or
her
hand
;
and
speaks
to
them
briefly
in
this
,
or
the
like
manner
:
Think
with
your selves
(
dear
and
devout
Brethren
and
Sisters
!
)
that
you
are
now
entring
into
a
spatious
and
specious
Garden
,
full
fraught
with
all
sorts
of
spirituall
fruits
and
flowers
:
A
Garden
,
wherein
sinners
may
find
food
to
convert
them
;
the
Good
,
means
to
better
them
;
the
Bad
,
motives
to
correct
them
,
the
Just
,
way
's
to
confirm
them
,
the
Tepid
,
occasions
to
excite
them
;
the
Desolate
,
helps
to
comfort
them
;
the
Weak
,
cordialls
to
strengthen
them
;
the
Sick
,
Physick
to
cure
them
,
and
all
Faithfull
Christians
,
fit
conveniencies
to
save
their
soul
's
;
which
is
the
end
of
our
creation
,
the
period
of
our
pretensions
,
the
Crown
of
all
our
laborious
endeavours
in
this
our
earthly
Pilgrimage
.
Now
these
fruits
are
not
only
to
be
gaz'd
upon
,
and
admired
,
but
to
be
gathered
,
swallow'd
,
disgested
:
Nor
is
it
sufficient
to
have
your
names
enrolled
in
the
Rosary
Catalogue
,
and
to
be
externally
associated
to
this
sacred
Confraternity
;
but
you
must
seriously
resolve
upon
an
honest
,
honorable
,
holylife
and
conversation
;
a
detestation
of
sin
,
vice
,
and
vanity
;
and
in
brief
,
a
totall
reformation
of
your
whol
outward
and
inward
man
.
For
since
you
desire
to
dedicate
your selves
this
day
particularly
to
Gods
service
,
and
to
make
a
speciall
profession
of
honouring
his
sacred
Mother
for
the
future
,
by
becoming
a
member
of
her
family
;
you
must
also
endeavour
to
surpass
such
others
,
as
pretend
not
to
this
height
,
holiness
,
and
happiness
,
in
all
sorts
of
Christian
piety
,
vertu
,
and
perfection
:
That
so
really
corresponding
to
what
you
outwardly
promise
,
you
may
deserve
to
obtain
her
desired
Patronage
and
Protection
.
Say
therefore
with
heart
and
mouth
as
follows
;
The
Form
of
offering
ones
self
to
the
Blessed
Virgin
.
THrice
sacred
Virgin
Mary
,
Mother
of
God!
I.
N.N.
though
most
unworthy
to
be
registred
amongst
your
servants
,
yet
moov'd
(
by
that
Goodness
which
the
Angells
admire
in
you
)
to
an
ardent
desire
of
honouring
,
loving
,
and
serving
you
;
do
here
this
day
withall
possible
humility
,
sincerity
,
and
devotion
,
(
in
the
presence
of
my
Angell
Guardian
,
and
the
whole
Court
of
Heaven
)
make
choyce
of
you
for
my
singular
Lady
,
Advocate
,
and
Mother
;
firmely
purposing
to
honour
,
love
,
and
serve
you
,
with
all
filiall
duty
,
diligence
,
and
fidelity
;
and
to
procure
(
as
much
as
it
shall
lye
in
my
power
)
that
all
others
may
do
the
same
.
I
therfore
most
heartily
beseech
you
,
(
O
mercifull
and
compassionate
Mother
!
)
by
the
pretious
Blood
which
your
dearly
beloved
son
,
my
Blessed
Saviour
,
shed
for
me
in
his
bitter
passion
;
That
you
will
be
graciously
pleased
to
receive
and
admit
me
into
the
number
of
your
devout
Clients
,
as
one
dedicated
to
your
perpetuall
service
.
Be
you
favourable
to
me
(
O
Blessed
Lady
!
)
and
obtain
for
me
of
your
All-powerfull
Son
,
that
I
may
so
behave
my self
in
all
my
Thoughts
,
Words
,
and
Actions
,
as
never
more
to
think
,
speak
,
or
act
any
thing
displeasing
to
his
sacred
Majestie
.
Grant
furthermore
(
O
my
good
and
gracious
Mother
!
)
that
I
may
never
forget
you
,
nor
forfeit
this
my
now
made
promise
of
honouring
,
loving
,
and
serving
you
all
the
days
of
my
life
;
that
so
I
may
never
be
forgotten
,
forsaken
,
nor
abandoned
by
you
;
but
be
always
protected
,
aided
,
and
assisted
by
you
,
especially
in
the
hour
of
my
Death
.
Amen
.
Then
he
receives
him

use

WHereby
the
devout
Rosarists
Religiously
honour
God
,
and
the
sacred
Virgin
Mary
,
upon
the
first
Sundays
of
the
months
,
and
upon
the
seven
feasts
of
our
Blessed
Lady
;
to
wit
,
The
Purification
,
Annunciation
,
Visitation
,
Assumption
,
Nativity
,
Presentation
,
and
Conception
,
and
upon
the
Saturdays
,
and
other
Festivall
days
of
the
fifteen
Mysteries
.
1.
The
word
Procession
signifies
literally
a
passing
forward
from
one
place
to
another
:
Allegorically
,
a
progresse
from
vertu
to
vertu
:
Tropologically
,
our
Peregrination
upon
earth
:
Anagogically
,
our
tendencie
towards
heaven
.
2.
Processions
had
their
beginning
in
the
Age
of
the
old
Patriarks
;
in
which
the
Ark
of
the
Testament
,
was
reverently
carryed
to
and
fro
by
the
Priests
of
the
Tribe
of
Levi
,
who
were
peculiarly
set
apart
,
for
that
sacred
purpose
,
and
performed
that
office
,
with
great
pompe
and
solemnitie
:
As
also
when
David
brought
the
Ark
into
the
Tabernacle
,
and
Salomon
into
the
Temple
,
with
Hymns
,
Canticles
,
and
all
sorts
of
musicall
instruments
,
and
plac'd
it
under
the
wings
of
the
there
prepared
Cherubins
.
3.
Our
solemn
Processions
,
seem
in
all
things
to
imitate
the
Egression
of
the
Israelites
out
of
Egypt
.
For
[1]
That
people
was
freed
by
Moyses
,
out
of
the
hands
of
Pharao
:
We
,
by
Christ
,
out
of
the
Clutches
of
the
Devill
.
[
2.
]
Ensignes
were
carryed
before
their
Troops
:
And
before
us
Crosses
and
Banners
.
[
3.
]
A
pillar
of
Fire
went
before
them
:
Burning
Candles
are
born
before
us
.
[
4.
]
There
the
Levites
carryed
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Covenant
,
and
the
Ark
of
the
Testament
:
Here
,
the
Priests
carry
the
Statua's
of
Saints
,
the
Reliques
of
the
Martyrs
,
or
the
Pix
with
the
sacred
Eucharist
.
[
5.
]
Aaron
the
High
Priest
follow'd
them
in
his
Pontificall
habits
;
and
our
Chief
Priest
follows
us
in
his
Cope
,
and
Church
Ornaments
.
[
6.
]
There
was
Moyses
with
his
Rod
:
Here
is
(
a
Prelate
with
his
Crosier
)
a
Prefect
with
his
Officiall
staffe
[
7.
]
The
people
there
march'd
in
compleat
armour
;
the
Clergie-men
are
here
cover'd
with
sacred
vestments
.
[
8.
]
they
were
besprinkled
with
Blood
:
we
with
holy
water
.
[
9.
]
they
had
a
Josuah
for
their
conductor
,
and
conqueror
,
we
have
a
Jesus
.
[
10.
]
they
came
at
last
into
the
Land
of
Promise
:
and
we
come
up
to
the
holy
Altar
,
in
hope
to
arrive
one
day
at
Heaven
,
our
promis'd
home
and
happy
countrey
.
4.
Our
Processions
are
the
Memorialls
of
our
Redeemers
mercies
,
minding
us
of
the
Piocessions
he
made
from
his
eternall
Fathers
bosom
,
into
the
womb
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
from
her
womb
into
the
Manger
:
from
the
Manger
,
to
Jerusalem
:
from
Jerusalem
,
to
the
Mount
Olivet
:
from
Mount
Olivet
,
back
to
his
heavenly
Father
;
All
which
we
gratefully
commemorating
,
move
after
his
sacred
Standard
the
Cross
,
and
make
to
him
our
humble
supplications
,
that
we
may
pass
after
him
,
from
this
our
Pilgrimage
,
to
his
Paradise
:
from
the
Church
Militant
,
to
the
Triumphant
.
5.
Our
Processions
(
especially
those
of
the
pious
Rosarists
(
are
also
Commemorations
,
and
Imitations
of
the
blessed
Virgin-Mothers
journeys
upon
Earth
:
when
she
[

carryed
,
or
[
2.
]
accompany'd
,
or
[
3.
]
follow'd
her
beloved
Son
Jesus
;
[
1.
]
when
she
carryed
him
in
her
sacred
womb
into
the
Mountains
,
to
the
house
of
Zacharie
and
Elizabeth
,
and
into
the
Bethleem
stable
:
and
when
she
carryed
him
in
her
sacred
armes
into
the
Temple
,
and
into
Egypt
;
[
2.
]
when
she
accompany'd
him
,
being
twelve
years
old
to
Jerusalem
:
and
being
thirty
years
old
throughout
Judea
and
Galile
in
his
preachings
.
[
3.
]
when
she
follow'd
him
laden
with
his
Cross
to
Mount
Calvary
.
And
surely
,
if
all
the
journeys
and
pilgrimages
from
place
to
place
,
of
Jesus
and
Mary
upon
Earth
,
may
not
properly
be
call'd
Processions
:
yet
they
may
fitly
be
styl'd
the
exemplary
Pattern
of
our
Processions
,
which
are
made
to
their
likeness
,
and
in
their
memory
and
imitation
.
6.
There
are
four
chief
and
solemn
Processions
celebrated
yearly
and
universally
by
the
Catholique
Church
.
[
1.
]
in
the
Purification
of
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
:
[
2.
]
upon
Palm-Sunday
:
[
3.
]
upon
Easter
day
:
[
4.
upon
Ascension
day
,
in
memory
and
representation
of
that
last
Procession
wherein
the
Disciples
waited
upon
our
Redeemer
to
Mount
Olivet
,
to
see
him
assumpted
into
Heaven
:
where
it
is
to
be
noted
,
that
in
the
Primitive
Church
,
there
were
made
two
weekly
Processions
:
one
upon
Sunday
,
in
memo●y
of
the
Resurrection
,
and
another
upon
Thursday
;
in
memory
of
the
Ascention
:
Whence
sprung
up
that
common
Proverb
of
Thursdayes
being
neere
a
kin
to
Sunday
.
)
But
when
afterwards
the
Festivities
of
Saints
became
multiplied
,
the
Solemnity
and
Procession
of
Thursday
was
abrogated
by
Pope
Agapitus
,
and
transfer'd
also
to
that
of
Sunday
:
which
is
therefore
still
observ'd
in
the
joint
memorie
of
the
Resurrection
and
Ascention
,
in
all
cathedrall
and
conventuall
Churches
.
7.
To
these
four
Processions
may
be
added
those
of
the
greater
and
less
Litanies
;
which
are
also
yearly
and
generally
celebrated
;
the
Procession
of
the
great
Litanies
,
upon
St.
Marks
day
,
instituted
by
Pope
Gregorie
the
great
,
to
implore
the
divin
assistance
against
the
then
raging
Pest●lence
,
the
Procession
of
the
less
Litanies
,
upon
the
three
day's
before
the
Ascention
begun
by
St.
Mamertus
Bishop
of
Vienna
,
to
implore
a
remedie
against
the
many
miseries
,
wherewith
France
was
then
afflicted
.
Both
which
customs
were
afterwards
confirm'd
by
the
Church
,
and
commanded
to
be
kept
by
all
her
faithfull
children
.
8.
Having
prefated
thus
much
of
Processions
in
generall
,
let
us
briefly
consider
them
of
the
sacred
Rosary
in
particular
,
which
(
as
aforesaid
)
are
made
upon
each
first
Sunday
of
the
month
,
and
the
blessed
Virgins
Festivities
.
1.
The
first
Ceremonie
in
these
(
as
in
all
other
)
Processions
is
the
carriage
of
the
Cross
,
[
1.
]
because
it
is
the
ancient
and
perpetuall
custom
of
the
Catholique
Church
,
to
carry
the
Cross
before
in
all
her
supplications
.
[
2.
]
because
the
Cross
is
the
common
signe
,
mark
,
and
cognisance
of
all
Christians
.
[
3.
]
to
shew
that
the
pious
Rosarists
ground
all
the
hope
and
confidence
of
their
prayers
and
supplications
,
chiefly
upon
the
merits
of
Christs
passion
.
[
4.
]
because
the
Devill
being
once
fully
conquered
by
the
Cross
;
is
again
foyl'd
,
defeated
,
and
put
to
flight
by
these
Processions
.
2.
The
second
is
,
the
reliques
of
Saints
.
[
1.
]
to
profess
the
Communion
of
the
Saints
of
both
Churches
,
Triumphant
and
Militant
.
[
2.
]
to
declare
that
we
beg
the
Saints
intercessions
.
[
3.
]
to
honour
God
in
them
.
3.
The
third
is
,
the
Statua
of
the
blessed
Virgin
.
[
1.
]
this
is
the
custom
of
the
Church
,
and
the
tradition
of
our
Ancestors
.
[
2.
]
it
is
a
confusion
to
Heretiques
,
and
Image-haters
:
and
a
motive
to
us
(
at
the
sight
of
her
sacred
Representative
)
to
pray
unto
her
for
their
conversion
,
who
is
entitled
by
the
Church
the
confoundress
of
all
Heresies
throughout
the
whole
World
;
(
This
praying
for
the
conversion
of
Heretiques
,
being
one
of
the
principall
causes
of
these
our
Processions
.
[
3.
]
it
is
a
practice
,
which
Heaven
hath
frequently
approv'd
of
,
by
many
signall
miracles
.
Let
us
insist
a
little
upon
this
point
,
and
prove
this
carriage
of
our
blessed
Ladies
Image
or
Statua
in
Processions
to
have
been
the
continuall
practice
of
the
Catholique
Church
,
by
producing
some
few
,
but
most
famous
examples
amongst
the
multitude
which
might
be
cited
out
of
authentick
writers
:
in
order
to
confute
,
not
onely
such
flat
Hereticks
,
as
fondly
affirm
these
manner
of
Processions
to
be
no
other
than
modern
and
monkish
inventions
:
but
also
such
ignorant
and
criticall
Catholiques
,
as
scruple
to
render
this
sort
of
honour
to
her
,
who
can
never
be
sufficiently
honoured
by
any
human
industry
.
Poor
deceiv
d
,
and
undevout
wretches
deserving
rather
to
be
pittied
for
your
ignorance
,
than
to
be
satisfi'd
by
arguments
,
in
a
subject
of
so
clear
evidence
we
will
stick
stedfastly
to
our
well-taken
up
Tenents
,
continue
cheerfully
in
our
rightly
intended
devotions
,
and
pray
perseverantly
for
y●ur
illumination
,
in
our
sacred
Processions
,
hoping
at
last
to
conquer
your
peevishness
by
our
piety
and
charity
,
and
by
her
power
and
intercession
:
in
whose
name
,
for
whose
love
,
and
to
whose
honour
,
we
(
the
children
of
Mary
)
are
gathered
together
(
as
brethren
in
one
heart
,
soul
and
mind
)
to
march
under
the
Banner
of
the
sacred
Rosary
.
We
therefore
(
returning
to
our
intended
purpose
)
confidently
affirm
,
that
the
Examples
of
our
pious
Ancestors
,
and
the
miracles
wrought
by
the
carriage
of
our
blessed
Mothers
Images
in
Procession
,
are
sufficient
warrants
and
motives
to
induce
us
to
the
same
devout
practice
,
Examples
and
miracles
!
which
may
abundantly
be
read
throughout
the
whol
body
of
the
Ecclesiasticall
histories
;
from
whence
we
will
borrow
these
few
following
instances
.
And
to
begin
with
our
great
St
,
Gregorie
(
who
sate
in
the
Roman
chair
,
in
the
year
of
Christ
,
601.
at
which
time
the
Inhabitants
of
that
Citie
dyed
sodainly
,
lying
in
their
beds
,
sitting
in
their
houses
,
walking
the
fields
,
standing
in
the
streets
:
so
violently
raging
was
the
pestilentiall
contagion
!
)
he
indicting
a
three
day's
supplication
,
let
us
(
say's
he
)
O
my
afflicted
children
!
meet
together
in
the
Church
of
blessed
Mary
,
the
perpetuall
Virgin
,
and
holy
Mother
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
there
w
th
sighs
,
tears
,
and
prayers
implore
the
divin
mercy
,
for
the
remission
of
our
sins
,
and
the
remedie
of
our
miseries
.
The
people
being
gathered
together
accordingly
,
He
in
his
own
person
,
takes
the
sacred
Virgins
Picture
,
drawn
by
St.
Lukes
pensill
,
(
which
picture
is
carefully
kept
,
and
highly
honoured
even
till
this
day
,
in
the
same
Church
of
St.
Marie
ad
Praesepe
,
or
,
of
the
manger
in
a
sumptuous
chappell
,
built
by
Paulus
quintus
,
for
that
purpose
)
and
carryes
it
along
the
street
in
Procession
;
when
behold
the
celestiall
Spirits
,
are
heard
ecchoing
forth
the
blessed
Virgins
prayses
,
in
answer
to
their
pious
hymnes
and
Litanies
,
the
ayre
is
fill'd
with
the
melodious
harmonie
of
angelicall
Choristers
,
in
toning
sweet
Athems
to
her
honour
,
and
saluting
her
with
these
sacred
words
,
(
used
ever
since
by
the
Church
in
the
paschall
Office
.
)
Regina
coeli
laetare
;
&c.
O
Queen
of
Heaven
rejoyce
,
Alleluja
.
for
he
whom
you
deserv'd
to
bear
,
Alleluja
.
Is
risen
from
death
as
he
foretold
,
Alleluja
.
To
which
the
holy
Pope
,
by
divin
inspiration
,
added
of
his
own
.
Pray
unto
God
for
us
,
Alleluja
.
and
an
Angell
is
seen
upon
the
top
of
the
Adrian
Towr
,
putting
up
a
Sword
into
its
scabbard
.
The
astonish'd
St.
Gregorie
,
inferring
,
from
that
action
,
a
mitigation
of
the
divine
indignation
,
denounces
to
the
no
less
ravish'd
people
,
a
Quietus
est
,
from
the
Court
of
Heaven
.
And
(
O
admirable
prodigy
of
the
divin
mercy
!
O
clear
testimony
of
holy
Maryes
Power
!
)
there
immediately
follow'd
a
full
and
happy
delivery
from
that
dire
disease
and
mortalitie
.
And
is
not
this
onely
miracle
,
(
wrought
in
the
open
view
of
the
world
,
done
in
the
head-Citie
of
the
Universe
,
acted
(
as
to
that
part
of
it
which
is
cavill'd
at
,
)
by
the
Churches
chief
Pastor
,
and
Christs
vice-gerent
upon
earth
,
and
registred
by
so
many
undeniable
and
authentick
authors
)
able
to
confound
you
;
O
Heretiques
and
Image-haters
!
capable
to
convert
you
:
O
half-Catholiques
,
and
dishonourers
of
holy
Mary
!
sufficient
to
comfort
you
:
O
devout
children
of
the
sacred
Rosary
!
yet
cast
an
eye
upon
some
others
of
like
nature
,
in
the
succeedding
ages
.
St.
Stephen
the
third
,
making
a
Procession
on
his
bare
feet
,
together
with
the
Roman
Clergie
and
people
,
and
carrying
a
holy
Image
on
his
own
shoulders
to
the
same
Church
of
St.
Marie
at
the
Manger
,
implor'd
and
obtain'd
the
like
heavenly
assistance
.
Sergius
the
Patriarch
of
Constantinople
,
carryed
the
sacred
Virgins
Image
in
procession
about
the
Citie-walls
,
and
receiv'd
a
present
and
miraculous
remedie
against
Caganus
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Scithians
,
his
besieging
enemies
.
The
same
was
done
under
Heraclius
the
Emperour
in
his
Persian
expedition
who
thereupon
obtain'd
a
compleat
victory
over
his
enemies
,
destroying
(
with
the
loss
only
of
fifty
of
his
own
Souldiers
)
the
two
vast
Armies
of
Duke
Razates
,
whose
golden
Armour
he
afterwards
hung
up
as
a
trophe
to
the
victorious
Virgin
.
And
when
the
same
Citie
of
Constantinople
was
again
straightned
by
the
cruell
Saracens
,
the
distressed
Inhabitants
making
their
accustomed
addresses
to
their
Powerfull
Patroness
,
and
carrying
her
sacred
Effigies
,
as
formerly
about
their
besieged
walls
,
saw
their
Enemies
suddenly
perishing
before
their
faces
:
some
with
fire
from
Heaven
,
the
rest
with
famin
,
pestilence
,
shipwrack
,
and
such
like
severe
punishments
:
In
memorie
of
which
miraculous
delivery
the
gratefull
Citizens
celebrated
an
annuall
Festivity
in
her
honour
,
by
whose
help
they
obtain'd
it
.
Many
more
examples
might
be
here
multiply'd
:
in
Constantin
the
last
Eastern
Emperour
,
Emmanuel
the
Conquerour
of
Pannonia
,
Joannes
Ximisca
the
Overcomer
of
the
Russians
,
Joannes
Commenius
the
Triumpher
over
the
Persians
.
&c.
But
these
few
are
more
than
sufficient
to
vindicate
this
our
pious
custom
,
not
only
from
Innovation
,
but
from
all
other
aspersions
whatsoever
.
The
fourth
Ceremonie
in
these
our
Processions
is
the
carryage
of
wax-Candles
,
or
Torches
,
in
imitation
,
of
the
Churches
ancient
custom
,
observ'd
upon
the
day
of
the
blessed
Virgins
Purification
:
of
which
our
St
Bede
said
long
since
:
This
good
custom
speading
it self
abroad
,
was
kept
also
in
the
other
Festivities
of
the
sacred
Mother
,
and
Virgin
Mary
.
The
fifth
and
last
Ceremonie
is
the
singing
or
reciting
of
the
Litanies
of
our
blessed
Lady
of
the
Rosary
:
which
Litanies
are
sung
in
the
Church
called
our
Lady
of
Minerva
in
Rome
,
and
in
many
other
Churches
throughout
all
Italie
upon
every
Saturday
,
by
the
approbation
and
authoritie
of
Pope
Gregorie
the
thirteenth
in
his
Brief
bearing
date
,
Aprill
the
fifteenth
1580.
which
Lita●ies
are
as
follow
's
after
this
Elevation
.

An
Elevation
for
the
Procession
of
the
Rosary
.
O

A

the
ever

Virgin
,
after
Procession
.
O
Mother
of
Mercy
,
Mother
of
Power
,
Mother
of
Jesus
,
Mother
and
Advocate
of
poor
and
repentant
Sinners
,
to
whom
your
care
and
affection
is
greater
than
that
of
a
Mother
to
her
child
!
Into
your
sacred
hands
,
and
heart
,
I
do
most
humbly
recommend
this
day
and
for
ever
my
body
and
soul
,
all
that
I
am
and
have
,
my
life
and
my
death
,
that
in
all
I
may
seek
your
Sons
honour
,
and
find
my
own
happiness
.
Beg
for
me
(
O
blessed
Mother
!
)
diligence
to
seek
Jesus
,
love
to
find
him
,
obedience
to
follow
him
,
purity
to
see
him
,
charity
to
embrace
him
,
patience
to
suffer
for
him
,
devotion
to
sigh
after
him
,
indifferencie
to
adhere
to
him
,
and
perseverance
to
remain
with
him
for
evermore
.
O
Empress
of
Heaven
,
Beauty
of
Angells
,
and
Lady
of
Love
!
How
long
shall
nature
,
sensuality
,
and
selfishness
bear
sway
?
How
long
shall
I
seek
,
and
not
find
;
sigh
,
and
not
enjoy
;
live
,
and
not
truly
love
Jesus
and
Mary
;
the
good
Son
,
and
glorious
Mother
,
the
holy
Fruit
,
and
happy
Tree
.
O
my
compassionate
Mother
!
obtain
for
me
your
poor
child
,
counsell
in
all
my
doubts
,
comfort
in
all
my
distresses
,
courage
in
all
my
temptations
,
and
confidence
in
all
my
troubles
.
Help
me
(
O
holy
Mother
of
my
Lord
Jesus
!
)
to
be
truly
humble
in
my self
,
truly
devout
and
loyall
to
my
God
,
truly
obedient
to
my
Superiors
,
and
truly
meek
to
all
.
Be
you
alwaies
mindfull
of
me
(
O
my
dear
Mother
!
)
both
living
and
dying
;
and
then
especially
have
a
care
of
me
,
when
I
forget
my self
by
falling
into
Sin
,
and
when
my
Soul
must
be
forc'd
out
of
my
Body
by
death
;
that
after
death
I
may
see
,
praise
,
and
love
both
you
and
your
Son
Jesus
for
all
eternity
:
Amen

So
called
,
For

sacred
Church
of
Loretto
,
upon
all
the
Saturdays
in
the
year
,
and
Feasts
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
.
THE
pious
Rosarists
may
please
to
take
notice
,
that
some
years
since
there
were
certain
Religious
Persons
,
who
agreed
together
to
recite
daily
these
holy
Litanies
for
the
happy
death
of
each
other
;
to
whom
many
thousands
joyn'd
themselvs
,
throughout
all
Italy
,
Spain
,
France
,
Germany
,
and
the
Indies
.
And
why
should
nor
the
like
sacred
Association
be
established
also
in
our
Countrey
,
amongst
such
devout
Christians
as
are
equally
zealous
of
the
Blessed
Virgins
honour
,
and
as
much
desirous
of
a
happy
death
?
We
therefore
(
the
Compilers

this
Book
)
do
hereby
declare
unto
all
you
,
(
the
devout
Children
and
Servants
of

Common-Mother
the
ever
Blessed
Virgin
Mary
)
that
we
intend
henceforth
to
recite
daily
these
following
Litanies
for
each
others
happy
death
:
And
that
we
do
now
,
(
even
by
these
presents
,
without
any
further
declaration
or
ceremony
)
admit
,
receive
,
and
associate
unto
our
selv's
,
and
to
a
joynt
Communication
with
us
in
these
our
prayers
;
All
such
as
being
desirous
therof
,
shall
mutually
perform
these
three
following
points
.
1.
Recite
daily
these
Litanies
,
with
the
adjoyned
Antheme
and
Prayer
,
to
the
sacred
Virgin
,
and
to
Saint
Joseph
.
2.
Recite
them
for
all
such
as
ar●
thus
associated
,
as
they
all
recite
the
same
for
him
.
3.
Recite
them
for

,
and
for
the
obtaining
of
Grace
necessary
for
that
purpose
.

A

a

O
Most
dread
Sovereign
!
who
for
the
just
punishment
of
the
first
Womans
prevarication
,
have
pronounced
and
imposed
a
severe
and
unavoydable
sentence
of
malediction
upon
all
Woman-kinde
,
to
wit
,
that
they
should
conceive
their
Children
in
Original
sin
;
that
having
conceiv'd
them
,
they
should
be
subject
to
many
miseries
;
and
that
they
should
bring
them
forth
with
the
hazard
of
their
own
lives
:
we
most
humbly
beseech
you
,
(
O
undrainable
Fountain
of
goodness
and
mercy
!
)
that
you
will
be
gratiously
pleased
by
your
Blessed
Mothers
pious
intercession
,
to
mitigate
the
rigorous
edict
of
this
general
Law
in
behalf
of
this
your
poor
Handmaid

(

be
brought
forth
into
the
world
,
accompanied
with
all
such
perfections
of
body
,
soul
,
and
senses
,
as
are
befitting
our
human
nature
,
that
it
may
live
to
be
re-born
by
sacred
Baptism

that
both
the
Child

the
Mother
may
become
your

X.
A
Prayer
to
appease
the
Divin
Indignation
,
in
any
publick
or
private
necessity
.
WHen
we
compare
,
O
Lord
!
your
punishments
with
our
own
impieties
,
we
are
forc'd
to
confess
,
that
our
crimes
do
far
exceed
your
chastisements
.
We
are
sensible
of
our
sins
penalty
,
but
we
leave
not
our
sinfull
pertinacy
;
our
sick
minds
are
troubled
,
but
our
stiff
necks
are
not
bowed
;
our
life
languishes
under
the
burthen
of
our
afflictions
,
and
yet
we
amend
not
our
wicked
actions
;
we
acknowledg
our
misdeeds
in
the
day
of
correction
,
and
we
forget
what
we
bewail'd
after
the
visitation
.
If
you
,
O
Lord
!
stretch
forth
your
hand
to
strike
us
,
we
make
you
large
promises
;
if
you
sheath
your
sword
,
we
fail
in
our
performances
.
If
you
scourge
us
,
we
petition
you
to
spare
us
;
if
you
mercifully
spare
us
,
we
again
maliciously
provoke
you
to
scourge
us
.
Behold
,
O
dread
Sovereign
!
you
have
us
self-accused
,
adjudged
,
condemned
;
and
we
well
know
,
that
unless
you
will
pardon
us
,
we
must
needs
perish
.
Grant
unto
us
(
O
compassionate
Father
!
)
that
which
we
desire
,
though
we
deserve
it
not
,
who
hast
given
us
a
being
when
we
were
not
.
Amen
.
XI

A
Prayer
to
withdraw
our
minds
from
the
superfluous
cares

this
World

O
Lord
,
our
true
Lover
,
our
faithfull
Teacher
,
our
bountifull
Nourisher
!
Take
from
us
all
vain
,
superfluous
,
and
noxious
cares
and
solicitudes
;
and
since
you
have
been
gratiously
pleas'd
to
promise
us
,
that
your self
will
make
a
sufficient
provision
for
us
,
grant
that
we
may
confidently
rely
in
all
things
upon
your
sacred
providence
.
Let
us
therefore
fix
our
hearts
and
affections
upon
heavenly
objects
;
let
us
seek
onely
your
Kingdom
,
and
be
only
solicitous
for
the
advancement
of
your
honour
and
glory
;
let
us
run
on
chearfully
,
couragiously
,
perseverantly
,
in
the
way
of
your
precepts
,
during
our
earthly
pilgrimage
,
that
so
we
may
be
finally
translated
to
your
heavenly
Paradise
.

THE
SECOND
BOOK
OF
THE
Sacred
Rosary
,
Which
is
the
Practical
part
thereof
.
An
Oration
Of
the
-
Antiquitie
,
-
Excellencie
,
and
-
Utilitie
.
Of
the
Bedes
,
Psalter
,
and
Confraternitie
of
the
Rosary
.
By
way
of
a
Preface
to
this
second
Book
.
ALthough
this
Argument
may
seem
sufficiently
handled
in
the
Oration
,
which
is
prefix'd
to
the
beginning
of
this
work
:
yet
since
,
Nunquam
materia
deficit
laudis
,
ubi
nunquam
sufficit
copia
Laudatoris
;
There
can
never
want
subject
of
prayse
,
(
say's
St.
Leo
)
in
a
subject
which
can
never
be
sufficiently
praysed
;
we
will
here
somewhat
more
largely
prove
,
what
was
there
only
pointed
at
:
and
deduce
this
most
excellent
manner
of
Prayer
,
and
most
eminent
Fraternity
of
the
Rosary
,
from
their
first
Originall
Fountains
,
for
the
encrease
of
your
comfort
and
devotion
,
(
O
Zealous
children
of
Mary
)
!
to
whom
we
dedicate
these
our
pious
labours
and
endeavours
.
This
way
of
honouring
the
divin
Majesty
,
and
the
sacred
Virgin-Mother
,
by
a
certain
number
of
our
Lords
Prayers
,
and
Angelical
Salutations
,
hath
been
variously
practised
by
the
ancient
Fathers
,
and
described
under
severall
names
and
notions
;
whereof
some
call'd
it
the
blessed
Virgins
Epithalamium
,
her
Canticle
,
her
Crown
,
her
Rosie
Garland
,
her
sacred
Quinquagena
.
Others
relating
to
the
number
of
the
salutations
therein
contained
,
call'd
it
the
Virgins
Psalter
in
imitation
of
the
Psalter
of
David
,
consisting
of
the
same
number
of
Psalms
,
or
alluding
to
that
Musical
Instrument
(
which
the
Hebrews
nam'd
Nahalum
,
the
Greeks
Organum
,
and
we
a
Psalterium
)
compos'd
of
an
hundred
and
fifty
Pipes
,
(
the
just
number
of
these
our
salutations
:
)
whereupon
the
Psalms
of
David
were
usually
sung
to
the
divin
prayse
and
honour
.
Others
finaly
call'd
it
by
the
now
commonly
receiv'd
denomination
of
the
Rosary
&
that
most
properly
;
For
as
a
Rosary
signifies
literally
a
place
beset
with
Odoriferous
Roses
;
So
this
our
Rosary
betokens
mysticaly
the
sweet
fragrancie
which
replenishes
their
hearts
and
souls
,
who
thus
devoutly
prayse
the
divin
Majesty
,
and
honour
the
Virgin
Mary
.
Having
explicated
its
Name
,
let
's
pass
on
to
its
Antiquity
:
which
undoubtedly
,
as
to
its
substance
is
of
equall
standing
with
the
sacred
Gospell
;
Since
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
the
Angelicall
Salutation
(
the
materiall
parts
of
our
Rosary
,
)
are
the
very
Evangelicall
words
and
sentences
:
And
as
to
its
use
,
is
also
of
equall
antiquitie
with
our
primitive
Christianity
,
since
(
according
to
the
generall
Maxim
of
our
School-Divines
)
When
in
Ecclesiasticall
matters
by
the
Church
Universally
embrac'd
,
no
certainty
can
be
found
of
their
first
beginning
,
they
must
be
believed
to
have
proceeded
from
the
Apostles
.
Which
mov'd
the
learned
Aquensis
,
to
write
thus
to
Maximilian
the
Emperour
;
This
pious
custom
of
saluting
the
sacred
Virgin
,
cannot
be
said
to
be
any
Novell
invention
,
but
may
be
convinc'd
to
be
as
ancient
as
the
Church
it self
;
For
when
at
the
beginning
,
the
Priests
and
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
being
full
of
Zeal
and
Fervour
,
recited
dayly
all
the
verses
of
the
Davidicall
Psalter
,
(
comprehending
thrice
fifty
Psalms
)
so
employing
the
greatest
part
of
their
time
in
the
divin
praises
:
The
devout
Laity
,
(
though
much
inferiour
to
them
in
point
of
learning
and
knowledg
,
yet
desirous
to
equall
them
in
Gods
love
and
service
:
)
emulating
this
laudable
custom
,
(
but
some
of
them
being
unable
to
read
,
others
uncapable
to
understand
these
sacred
Psalms
)
invented
and
dayly
recited
a
certain
Psalter
(
according
to
the
mysticall
number
of
the
Davidical
Psalms
)
of
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
Angelicall
salutation
an
hundred
and
fifty
times
repeated
;
piously
conceiving
(
as
well
they
might
)
that
all
the
sacred
mysteries
of
those
many
Psalm's
were
compendiously
contain'd
in
this
singular
Prayer
and
Salutation
,
since
they
declar'd
him
to
be
now
come
and
present
,
whom
those
Psalms
had
foretold
and
promis'd
.
Which
devotion
of
the
Primitive
Christians
,
will
not
seem
any
wonder
to
such
as
duely
consider
their
great
fervour
and
piety
in
other
spirituall
exercises
:
as
may
be
instanced
,
in
that
the
whol
generality
of
the
lay-people
receiv'd
then
dayly
the
sacred
Eucharist
.
Surely
a
most
convenient
way
to
lay
that
first
foundation
of
a
new
Church
upon
solid
devotion
and
sanctity
,
which
was
to
sustain
afterwards
so
weightie
a
superstructure
.
But
when
in
the
following
ages
(
the
number
of
Christians
encreasing
and
the
fervour
of
piety
decaying
)
this
kind
of
Psalter
became
burthensome
to
the
multitude
of
Christians
(
who
were
now
more
attentive
to
their
domestick
and
temporall
negotiations
,
than
zealous
of
the
divin
service
)
it
was
abridg'd
into
an
hundred
and
fifty
Angelical
salutations
;
keeping
still
the
same
mystical
number
,
but
changing
its
denomination
into
that
of
the
blessed
Virgins
Psalter
;
and
interlacing
each
Decade
,
with
the
recitall
of
our
Lords
Prayer
,
in
imitation
of
the
Clergie
,
so
performing
their
Church
Psalmodie
.
This
was
that
Psalter
,
so
much
prays'd
and
practis'd
by
the
Egyptian
Hermits
and
Anchorits
,
to
which
they
had
recourse
,
as
to
their
present
solace
in
all
their
pressing
sadnesses
and
afflictions
,
their
powerfull
Remedie
against
all
thier
troubles
and
temptations
,
their
secure
Sanctuary
in
all
their
spirituall
conflicts
and
combats
.
This
manner
of
Prayer
was
also
frequented
and
practis'd
(
not
onely
as
to
its
substance
,
which
are
the
Lords
Prayer
and
Angelical
salutation
;
but
also
as
to
its
forenam'd
Quantity
and
Qual'ty
by
the
holy
Fathers
and
Doctors
of
the
Church
;
Witness
St.
Hierom
,
of
whom
it
is
related
in
the
Ecclesiastical
histories
,
That
he
plac'd
an
undoubted
hope
in
the
suffrages
of
this
Psalter
against
all
temptations
,
troubles
and
afflictions
whatsoever
,
and
especially
against
the
Adversaries
of
the
Christian
Faith
:
nor
would
he
ever
settle
himself
(
say's
Fossaeus
lib.
1.
de
Psalterio
)
to
any
serious
reading
,
writing
,
or
dictating
,
till
he
had
first
implor'd
the
divin
assistance
by
the
recitall
of
this
Psalter
Neither
must
we
omit
(
say's
Alanus
de
Rupe
)
to
make
mention
of
that
most
worthy
Patriark
of
Monks
,
St.
Bennet
:
who
chose
this
Psalter
for
his
familiar
and
perpetuall
companion
,
and
so
deserv'd
to
become
the
famous
founder
of
Monastical
Institution
.
Which
propagation
of
the
Marian
Psalter
(
say's
Bucelinus
in
his
Menologium
,
March
21.
)
is
none
of
the
least
of
St.
Bennets
prayses
;
the
Queen
of
Heaven
her self
highly
approving
and
commending
the
same
,
endowing
her
Bennet
(
for
so
she
was
heard
to
name
him
)
with
many
signall
favours
,
benefits
,
and
blessings
,
and
chosing
the
Monasteries
of
his
sacred
Order
(
as
it
were
)
for
her
earthly
seat
and
mansion
even
to
this
day
.
And
in
the
Benedictin
Annals
,
(
anno
538.
)
we
find
registred
,
that
though
St.
Bennet
from
his
very
infancy
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
his
conversion
,
when
he
laid
the
first
plat-form
of
monastical
Perfection
,
was
singularly
devoted
to
the
Empress
of
Heaven
,
and
a
great
Promotor
of
her
Honour
,
Name
,
and
Kingdom
;
Yet
chiefly
about
this
time
(
to
wit
,
the
59th
.
year
of
his
age
)
he
promulgated
in
the
head
City
,
and
to
the
whol
World
,
that
sweet
,
easy
,
and
efficacious
exercise
of
the
blessed
Virgins
Psalter
,
which
himself
with
his
Disciples
had
so
piously
and
profitably
practis'd
within
the
private
Cloysters
of
Sublake
and
Mount
Cassin
,
and
which
St.
D●minick
the
glorious
Institutor
of
a
new
Marian
Family
,
and
Reformer
of
the
old
(
when
by
length
of
time
this
sort
of
devotion
became
neglected
)
after
700.
years
space
,
revived
and
re-established
;
This
Psalter
(
I
say
)
this
very
Psalter
,
did
our
great
Patriarch
St.
Bennet
deliver
to
the
World
,
and
recommend
with
immortall
fruit
and
merit
to
his
Disciples
,
who
were
to
be
sent
into
the
earths
severall
Climats
to
establish
monastical
discipline
,
which
they
undoubtedly
perform'd
with
so
much
the
more
happy
success
,
by
how
much
they
preach'd
and
promoted
the
sacred
Virgins
honour
,
together
with
the
sincere
faith
of
her
Son
Christ
Jesus
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
the
whol
Quire
of
his
succeeding
Monks
,
imitating
the
example
of
so
glorious
a
Father
,
became
ever
since
most
zealous
practitioners
and
promoters
of
the
same
piety
and
devotion
:
and
to
the
end
it
might
be
perpetuated
to
all
their
posterity
,
they
prudently
set
apart
one
day
of
the
year
,
in
which
they
make
a
particular
Commemoration
of
the
sacred
Psalter
,
thus
instituted
by
their
Patriarch
St.
Bennet
:
to
wit
,
the
18.
of
June
,
where
their
Martyrologe
say's
thus
.
Upon
the
same
day
,
the
Feast
or
Commemoration
of
the
blessed
Virgin-Mothers
Psalter
,
instituted
to
the
honour
of
the
glorious
Empress
of
Heaven
aad
Earth
,
by
our
admirable
Father
and
Patriarch
St.
Bennet
,
to
be
practis'd
in
his
whol
Order
,
and
propagated
throughout
the
whol
World
by
his
most
holy
Children
and
Disciples
.
And
how
zealously
his
said
children
perform'd
this
their
Fathers
precept
of
promulgating
in
all
places
,
the
sacred
Virgins
Psalter
might
be
largely
demonstrated
and
exemplified
in
all
the
succeeding
ages
.
For
of
St.
Maurus
(
whom
our
holy
Father
yet
living
sent
into
France
,
and
who
dyed
in
the
year
583.
)
it
is
thus
expresly
written
:
He
promoted
the
honour
of
the
admirable
Virgin-Mother
with
all
possible
diligence
,
and
with
incomparable
fruit
and
merit
,
and
propagated
far
and
near
the
use
of
her
sacred
Psalter
,
according
to
the
institute
of
his
most
blessed
Father
St.
Bennet
.
And
of
St.
Eligius
(
the
glorious
Builder
,
Founder
,
and
Abbot
of
Solemmacum
,
the
Bishop
of
N●yon
,
the
Apostle
of
many
Provinces
,
a
man
famous
not
only
for
his
prodigious
sanctity
,
but
also
for
his
skill
in
Smithery
,
who
dyed
in
the
year
665.
)
he
was
a
singular
Honourer
of
the
Sacred
Virgin-Mother
,
whose
Psalter
he
carryed
for
his
Pontificall
Ensign
,
and
made
for
himself
an
Episcopall
Chair
adorn'd
with
an
hundred
and
fifty
golden-nails
or
bosses
,
distinguish'd
with
other
fifteen
of
a
greater
size
and
bulk
;
upon
which
he
dayly
perform'd
his
devotions
of
the
Psalter
.
And
in
the
ensuing
Age
,
the
same
sort
of
Piety
was
spread
abroad
(
not
only
over
our
English
Nation
,
but
into
the
far
and
near
adjoyning
Kingdom
's
)
by
the
preaching
of
our
venerable
Bede
(
who
dyed
in
the
year
738.
)
of
whom
it
is
written
:
that
he
brought
his
Countrey
men
into
so
great
a
veneration
of
the
Marian
Psalter
,
that
the
materiall
Rosaries
or
Psalters
,
(
which
in
honour
and
imitation
of
his
name
,
they
call'd
Bedes
;
and
which
(
a
thing
well
worth
the
noting
)
are
so
nam'd
amongst
us
till
this
day
)
were
hung
up
every
where
in
the
Churches
,
Chappells
,
and
publick
places
of
P●ayer
,
to
invite
all
people
(
who
would
please
to
make
use
of
them
)
to
this
manner
of
piety
and
devotion
.
And
to
pass
over
an
hundred
and
six
other
famous
Prelats
and
Saints
of
the
same
Benedictin
Family
(
which
are
nam'd
and
prays'd
by
our
Gabriel
Bucelinus
upon
this
particular
score
of
having
been
devout
servants
of
the
Sacred
Virgin
,
and
diligent
practisers
and
preachers
of
her
Psalter
.
)
St.
Dominick
(
call'd
Loricatus
,
from
the
Iron
Breast-plate
wherewith
he
perpetually
mortifi'd
his
body
,
)
one
of
the
great
Ornaments
of
our
glorious
Order
,
another
Baptist
of
his
Age
,
the
mirror
(
yea
andumiracle
)
of
all
Penitents
,
(
who
dyed
in
the
year
1060.
and
whose
sacred
Corps
remaining
(
after
his
Souls
departure
)
nine
dayes
uncorrupted
,
was
interr'd
by
our
St.
Peter
Damian
,
the
Eye-witness
and
faithfull
writer
of
his
admirable
life
and
actions
●
us'd
to
recite
his
Psalter
nine
times
a
day
;
adding
frequently
whol
nights
to
his
dayes
continued
and
uninterrupted
devotions
.
Also
Peter
the
Hermite
,
treating
with
Pope
Urban
the
second
,
concerning
the
expedition
into
the
holy
Land
,
and
inviting
all
Christians
to
that
sacred
enterprise
,
recommended
to
them
this
very
manner
of
prayer
and
devotion
,
in
1093.
and
the
years
following
,
of
whom
,
and
the
diligent
propagation
of
the
Marian
Psalter
,
by
him
and
others
of
our
sacred
Order
,
read
the
Benedictin
Annals
largely
and
authentically
describing
them
.
The
same
devotion
of
the
Psalter
was
most
zealously
preach'd
and
promulgated
by
St.
Otto
the
Bishop
of
Bamberg
,
and
Apostle
of
Sclavonia
,
who
(
in
the
year
1139.
)
not
only
recommended
this
sort
of
Prayer
to
that
new
converted
Nation
;
but
commanded
the
people
to
bear
about
them
the
blessed
Virgins
Psalters
,
as
outward
badges
of
their
interiour
affection
and
devotion
towards
her
:
which
custom
is
yet
generally
kept
amongst
the
Christians
of
that
Countrey
,
where
both
sexes
are
seen
to
wear
Chains
and
Bracelets
of
Bedes
about
their
necks
and
arms
,
even
till
this
day
.
Finally
,
this
pious
practise
of
honouring
the
holy
Virgin-Mother
,
by
the
recitall
of
the
Psalter
,
became
afterwards
very
common
throughout
the
whol
Church
,
as
may
be
read
in
the
Tripartite
Historie
,
where
it
is
reg●stred
,
that
the
devout
Christians
made
certain
Cords
,
distinguish'd
with
greater
and
smaller
knots
for
that
sacred
purpose
.
St
Bernard
also
,
the
most
zealous
servant
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
and
amplifier
of
her
honour
,
compos'd
a
Psalter
to
her
prayse
,
in
imitation
,
and
according
to
the
number
of
that
of
King
David
(
sicut
&
vidi
&
tenui
say's
Alanus
,
which
I
have
beheld
with
these
eyes
,
and
held
in
these
hands
)
for
which
and
his
other
devout
practises
of
piety
towards
the
Queen
of
Heaven
,
he
deservd
to
become
her
speciall
friend
and
favourite
.
St.
Mary
of
Ognia
,
practis'd
the
same
in
a
most
eminent
manner
,
adding
to
her
dayly
performance
of
the
Davidical
Psalms
the
devout
recitall
of
as
many
Angelical
Salutations
,
which
make
up
the
compleat
number
of
our
Psalter
.
And
this
custom
of
joyning
together
both
Psalters
,
was
generally
observ'd
amongst
the
Religious
persons
of
those
times
,
and
afterwards
embrac'd
by
them
of
the
Carthusian
Family
,
who
after
each
Psalm
of
David
,
usually
saluted
the
sacred
Virgin
,
with
certain
pithy
verses
,
artificially
compos'd
for
that
purpose
.
All
which
Examples
,
(
to
which
many
more
might
be
added
)
aboundantly
prove
this
sort
of
Virginall
Psalter
to
have
been
anciently
in
use
,
amongst
some
or
other
pious
honourers
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
in
all
precedent
Ages
:
though
by
degrees
,
as
the
divin
Charitie
grew
colder
in
mens
hearts
,
so
all
sorts
of
Devotion
decreased
,
and
this
manner
of
prayer
became
also
neglected
.
When
behold
,
the
divin
providence
rayses
up
a
Saint
Dominick
to
revive
and
reestablish
it
.
He
lived
in
Spain
,
at
what
time
the
Albigean
Heresie
had
infected
a
great
part
of
Christendom
;
An
Heresie
so
black
and
blasphemous
,
that
to
recount
its
Tenents
,
were
[
methinks
]
to
offend
the
eares
of
faithfull
Christians
:
yet
whosoever
hath
the
curiositie
to
know
,
and
can
have
the
patience
to
read
such
impieties
,
may
find
them
largly
registred
,
and
solidly
refuted
by
the
learned
Antoninus
,
This
glorious
Champion
of
Christ
and
his
Church
St.
Dom●n●ck
,
zealously
opposes
himself
against
this
perverse
Heresie
:
praying
,
preaching
,
travelling
,
and
using
all
possible
endeavours
to
suppress
the
rage
of
its
contagious
infection
:
But
,
[
alas
!
]
all
his
pious
endeavours
were
to
very
little
purpose
;
so
deply
was
the
custom
of
libertie
,
sin
,
and
sensuality
,
setled
in
mens
hearts
and
affections
!
The
holy
man
therefore
with
heart
full
of
grief
,
and
eyes
full
of
tears
;
makes
his
addresses
to
the
Mother
of
Mercy
,
and
of
Power
,
humbly
complaining
,
expostulating
,
and
questioning
;
why
his
so
great
diligence
,
his
so
many
painfull
journeys
,
his
so
frequent
and
fervent
exhortations
,
declamations
,
and
disputations
,
should
prove
so
fruitless
and
ineffectuall
?
To
whom
she
was
graciously
pleas'd
to
return
this
answer
:
No
mervail
if
the
Earth
wanting
moysture
,
becomes
barren
and
fruitless
;
nor
is
it
any
wonder
that
worldlings
wanting
the
dew
of
the
divin
grace
,
remain
devoid
of
Faith
,
and
of
the
fertility
of
good
Works
.
When
God
in
his
mercy
intended
the
Worlds
reparation
,
he
prepar'd
it
with
Rain
,
[
the
Angelicall
Salutation
]
whereby
it
became
blessed
and
fruitfull
;
Preach
thou
also
my
Psalter
,
and
there
will
follow
a
present
and
plentifull
fruit
of
thy
painfull
labours
.
The
Saint
did
as
he
was
commanded
,
propagating
the
sacred
Virgins
Psalter
,
throughout
Spain
,
France
and
Italy
,
fitting
it
to
each
ones
capacity
,
reducing
it
into
a
fraternall
unity
,
and
confirming
his
doctrin
with
such
evident
miracles
,
that
Christians
became
every
where
,
not
only
converted
from
the
Albigean
Heresie
,
but
also
devout
servants
of
God
,
and
diligent
honourers
of
the
Virgin
Mary
.
Thus
(
most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
you
have
the
Virginall
Psalter
,
briefly
brought
down
to
St.
Dominick
,
who
not
only
reviv'd
its
decayed
use
,
but
is
undoubtedly
the
Author
of
the
Rosary
,
(
as
to
the
particular
method
and
manner
wherein
we
now
recite
it
)
and
who
is
the
Beginner
of
this
sacred
Confraternitie
whereof
we
are
members
,
as
appears
by
the
Bull
of
Pius
Quintus
(
whose
last
words
we
shall
only
here
produce
to
avoid
unnecessary
prolixity
in
a
matter
of
so
great
certainty
.
)
The
blessed
St.
Dominick
(
say's
he
)
directed
(
as
is
piously
believ'd
)
by
Gods
holy
Spirit
(
upon
the
like
occasion
that
now
happens
in
the
Church
:
when
France
and
Italy
were
miserably
ore-spread
with
the
Albigean
Heresie
)
lifting
up
his
eyes
to
Heaven
,
and
beholding
that
Mountain
,
the
glorious
Virgin
Mary
,
Gods
holy
Mother
;
invented
and
propagated
a
very
easie
,
plain
,
and
pious
manner
of
praying
call'd
the
Rosary
or
Psalter
of
the
most
sacred
Virgin
Mary
:
whereby
the
said
Blessed
Virgin
is
honoured
with
the
Angelical
Salutation
an
hundred
and
fifty
times
repeated
,
conformably
to
the
number
of
Psalms
contain'd
in
the
Davidicall
Psalter
,
with
our
Lords
Prayer
interpos'd
between
each
Decade
;
and
the
rest
of
the
meditations
comprehending
the
whol
life
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Christ
Jesus
&c.
Let
's
now
cast
a
view
upon
the
Excellency
,
Dignity
,
and
Utilitie
of
this
our
sacred
Rosary
,
which
can
be
no
better
declared
than
by
shewing
the
Excellencie
of
each
severall
part
whereof
it
is
compos'd
;
to
wit
,
the
Creed
,
the
Lords
Prayer
,
the
Angelical
Salutation
,
and
the
Meditations
upon
the
fifteen
Mysteries
;
In
the
Creed
we
profess
our
Faith
,
and
by
Faith
we
please
God
;
in
the
Lords
Prayer
we
speak
to
God
(
as
it
were
)
in
his
own
dialect
,
and
we
may
be
confident
,
the
Eternall
Father
will
hear●…
to
the
divin
words
,
which
his
own
dear
Son
dictated
.
In
the
Angelical
Salutation
,
we
gratefully
commemorate
the
chief
mysterie
of
our
Salvation
,
which
is
our
Redeemers
Incarnation
;
And
in
Meditating
upon
the
fifteen
mysteries
,
we
sweetly
melt
away
in
the
admiration
of
the
divin
love
,
mercy
,
and
goodness
.
The
Creed
(
wherewith
we
begin
and
conclude
our
Rosary
,
and
which
may
therefore
be
fitly
called
the
first
and
last
accidentall
part
thereof
)
contains
as
many
Excellencies
,
fruits
,
and
profits
,
as
Faith
it self
,
whereof
it
is
a
formall
Act
and
Profession
.
Now
the
fruits
of
Faith
are
so
many
,
that
meerely
to
relate
them
,
would
make
up
a
large
volum
;
and
therefore
be
pleas'd
to
content
your selves
for
the
present
(
most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
to
take
only
a
compendious
touch
of
such
as
are
expresly
registred
in
holy
Writ
.
1.
Faith
purges
our
sins
.
Thy
Faith
(
O
Woman
!
say's
our
Saviour
to
the
Penitent
Magdalen
)
hath
saved
thee
.
2.
Faith
purifies
our
hearts
,
(
sayes
S.
Peter
.
)
3.
Faith
joynes
,
espouses
,
and
unites
our
souls
to
God
,
(
say's
the
Prophet
Oseas
.
)
4.
Faith
is
the
very
life
of
our
souls
.
The
just
man
(
says
the
Prophet
Abacuc
,
and
after
him
the
Apostle
S.
Paul
)
lives
by
faith
:
And
Christ
our
Saviour
;
He
that
believes
in
me
,
though
he
be
dead
(
in
flesh
)
he
shall
live
,
(
in
his
soul
.
)
5.
Faith
enobles
,
exalts
and
dignifies
our
nature
,
rendring
us
Gods
adopted
children
;
He
gave
power
(
say's
S.
John
)
to
them
who
believe
in
his
name
to
become
his
children
.
6.
Faith
is
here
the
beginning
of
the
hereafter
ensuing
eternall
life
.
This
is
eternall
life
(
says
our
Saviour
)
to
know
the
only
true
God
.
7.
Faith
gives
all
the
fruit
,
worth
,
and
merit
to
our
works
.
Whatsoever
is
not
of
Faith
(
says
Saint
Paul
)
is
a
sin
.
8.
Faith
is
our
Armour
against
all
sorts
of
Temptations
of
the
World
,
Flesh
,
and
Devill
Above
all
(
says
S.
Paul
)
take
the
shield
of
Faith
wherewith
ye
shall
be
able
to
quench
all
the
fiery
darts
of
the
wicked
:
And
S.
Peter
;
Your
Adversary
the
Devill
goes
about
,
like
a
roaring
Lion
seeking
whom
he
may
devour
,
whom
resist
,
stedfast
in
Faith
.
And
S.
John
:
This
is
the
victory
,
that
overcomes
the
world
,
even
your
Faith
.
9.
Faith
causes
our
Prayers
to
be
heard
,
and
our
Petitions
granted
.
What
things
soever
you
desire
(
says
our
Saviour
)
When
you
pray
,
believe
that
you
receive
them
,
and
you
shall
have
them
:
And
S.
James
:
Let
him
ask
in
Faith
,
nothing
doubting
,
and
it
shall
be
given
him
.
10.
Faith
works
Miracles
,
He
that
believes
in
me
(
says
our
Saviour
)
shall
do
the
works
that
I
do
,
and
greater
than
these
.
And
S.
Paul
proves
this
by
many
instances
throughout
his
whol
11th
.
Chapter
to
the
Hebrews
.
Finally
,
there
are
no
greater
riches
,
no
higher
honours
,
no
better
substance
in
this
world
(
says
S.
Augustin
)
than
the
Catholique
Faith
;
which
saves
sinners
,
cures
the
sick
,
justifies
the
righteous
,
repairs
the
penitent
,
perfects
the
just
,
and
crowns
all
the
Elect.
These
are
a
part
of
the
innumerable
fruits
and
profits
,
which
spring
from
Faith
,
as
from
the
foundation
,
ground
work
,
and
root
,
of
all
goodness
,
and
which
may
be
aboundantly
gather'd
by
you
(
O
Faithfull
servants
of
God
,
and
devout
children
of
Mary
!
)
by
renewing
,
exciting
,
and
professing
it
in
the
recitall
of
your
Creed
,
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
your
Rosary
.
The
second
Part
of
the
Rosary
,
is
our
Lords
Prayer
;
so
called
from
its
divin
Author
Christ
Jesus
;
and
for
its
own
excellencie
,
as
being
(
says
S.
Thomas
)
an
Abridgment
of
all
that
needs
to
be
desired
,
or
ought
to
be
demanded
.
This
sacred
Prayer
contain
seven
Petitions
;
and
that
not
without
speciall
Mysterie
:
For
as
this
inferior
world
is
govern'd
by
seven
Orbes
or
Heavens
,
which
are
under
the
starrie
Firmament
;
and
is
cherish'd
and
conserv'd
by
the
Influences
of
seven
Planets
:
And
as
Man
consists
of
the
three
powers
of
his
soul
,
and
the
four
Elements
(
whether
virtually
or
formally
,
it
matters
not
)
which
compose
his
Body
:
And
as
our
spirituall
Perfection
depends
upon
seven
vertues
;
The
three
Theologicall
,
and
the
four
Cardinall
:
And
as
the
gifts
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
wherewith
our
souls
are
adorned
,
are
seven
:
And
as
the
Beatificall
Dowries
make
up
the
same
number
,
three
of
them
belonging
to
the
soul
;
vision
,
love
,
fruition
;
and
four
to
the
Body
;
Impassibility
,
Agility
,
Subtility
,
Clarity
:
So
Christ
our
Lord
,
the
Eternall
Fathers
Coeternall
wisdom
,
concluded
all
things
,
for
which
he
would
have
us
pray
,
in
these
seven
short
,
and
sweet
Petitions
.
To
relate
all
the
fruits
and
effects
,
which
are
reap'd
by
the
devout
recitall
of
this
divin
Prayer
,
were
to
run
over
the
large
fields
of
prayer
in
generall
,
whereof
this
our
Pater
noster
is
a
perfect
summarie
;
as
hath
been
already
prov'd
by
the
authoritie
of
S.
Thomas
;
and
may
be
further
confirm'd
by
this
saying
of
S.
Augustin
:
If
thou
searchest
after
all
the
sacred
Prayers
,
that
ever
were
compos'd
,
thou
canst
(
in
my
opinion
)
meet
with
nothing
,
which
is
not
herein
contained
and
included
.
And
by
that
of
S.
Cyprian
:
O
what
mysteries
are
in
our
Lords
prayer
?
How
many
and
how
great
Sacraments
are
in
this
short
speech
;
contracted
in
words
,
but
copious
in
spirituall
sense
,
and
vertu
?
In
so
much
as
there
is
nothing
at
all
to
be
pray'd
for
,
which
is
not
comprehended
in
this
compendium
of
heavenly
doctrin
.
To
which
Encomiums
of
these
great
Saints
,
(
omitting
almost
infinit
others
of
Tertullian
,
S.
John
Chrysostom
,
S.
Gregory
,
and
all
the
Fathers
)
we
shall
only
add
this
excellent
expression
of
a
modern
Author
:
Amongst
all
divin
Prayers
and
prayses
,
nothing
is
comparable
to
the
Pater
noster
:
It
far
excells
all
the
supplications
of
the
Saints
;
It
fully
contains
all
the
conceptions
of
the
Prophets
,
all
the
expressions
of
the
Psalms
,
all
the
sweetnesses
of
the
Canticles
:
It
asks
all
that
is
necessary
,
It
prayses
God
highly
,
It
joyns
the
soul
to
God
entirely
,
&c.

But
to
make
you
(
most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
yet
more
enamour'd
with
your
Pater
noster
:
We
shall
succinctly
deliver
unto
you
its
manifold
fruits
and
effects
in
the
very
sense
of
S.
Dominick
himself
(
the
Author
of
this
our
Confraternity
)
:
who
(
by
divin
Inspiration
)
preach'd
to
his
numerous
Auditory
of
Tolosa
upon
a
solemn
feast
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
to
this
effect
.
First
,
(
says
Saint
Dominick
)
if
little
weak
children
,
were
to
walk
through
some
wild
and
uncouth
wilderness
:
had
they
not
need
of
a
Fathers
help
,
to
hold
them
by
the
hand
,
and
direct
their
unskilfull
footsteps
?
We
(
most
devout
Auditors
!
)
are
these
little
weaklings
in
the
wilderness
of
this
world
;
unable
of
our selves
to
walk
forward
,
or
work
any
thing
:
Let
us
therefore
have
recourse
to
h●m
,
from
whom
is
all
our
force
and
sufficiencie
,
humbly
,
imploring
his
presence
and
assistance
;
by
saying
,
Pater
noster
.
Our
Father
.

If
any
were
to
pass
over
a
Field
full
of
Snakes
,
Serpents
,
D●agons
,
and
all
sorts
of
venemous
creatures
;
had
they
not
need
of
some
holy
Guide
;
who
were
free
from
being
hurt
by
them
;
Of
some
valiant
Champion
,
who
were
able
to
destroy
them
;
of
some
Powerfull
Person
,
who
were
capable
to
carry
them
on
his
shoulders
above
the
reach
of
the
stings
and
poysons
of
these
ravenous
Beasts
?
We
live
(
alas
!
)
in
a
land
full
of
Infernall
Dragons
;
Christ
only
is
this
holy
,
valiant
,
and
strong
Champion
,
who
can
deliver
us
from
their
dangerous
morsures
;
le
ts
therefore
incessantly
invoke
his
assistance
,
saying
:
Qui
es
.
Who
art
.
3.
If
any
were
to
pass
through
some
dismall
and
darksom
place
;
had
they
not
need
of
Heavens
light
to
help
them
forward
?
We
sejourn
here
in
darkness
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
;
Christ
is
the
Clarity
of
Heaven
,
the
shining
Sun
of
Justice
,
the
bright
Star
of
Jacob.
Le
ts
therefore
often
lift
up
to
him
our
eyes
and
hearts
,
saying
:
In
Coelis
,
In
Heaven
.
4.
If
any
were
to
make
a
journey
;
during
which
,
whosoever
should
be
caught
in
a
deadly
crime
,
must
presently
be
adjudg'd
to
death
:
had
he
not
need
to
be
himself
holy
,
or
to
be
in
the
company
of
holy
persons
?
we
have
such
a
journey
to
make
;
and
the
soul
that
sins
(
mortally
)
,
dyes
,
(
presently
,
as
to
grace
,
and
Eternally
,
without
Gods
great
mercy
)
:
To
the
end
therefore
that
our selves
may
be
sanctified
,
and
that
we
may
be
assisted
by
the
Saints
,
and
by
the
Saint
of
Saints
,
le
ts
often
say
:
Sanctificetur
.
Hallowed
.
5.
If
any
were
to
pass
through
an
unknow
Countrey
,
to
an
unknown
City
;
had
they
not
need
to
learn
the
language
,
or
rely
upon
some
faithfull
Interpreter
?
Our
Pilgrimage
is
through
a
strange
land
,
to
enquire
after
a
far
&
future
Citie
,
where
the
Angells
language
is
used
:
and
there
are
two
Schools
,
wherein
this
celestiall
language
is
learned
;
The
Lords
Prayer
,
and
the
Angelicall
Salutation
.
Let
's
therefore
betake
our selves
seriously
to
our
sacred
Rosary
,
and
there
humbly
invoke
that
name
,
which
designs
Gods
Word
by
which
all
things
were
made
;
saying
:
Nomen
tuum
:
Thy
Name
.
6.
If
any
were
to
pass
through
the
Territories
of
some
cruell
Tyrant
,
who
made
bondslaves
of
all
such
as
he
could
catch
within
his
clutches
,
had
they
not
need
to
cast
about
for
some
means
of
succour
,
in
case
of
their
surprisall
?
The
World
is
this
Tyrant
,
and
Christ
is
our
only
succour
;
to
whom
we
must
instantly
and
frequently
sue
and
sigh
;
saying
:
Adveniat
Regnum
tuum
;
Thy
Kingdom
come
.
7.
If
any
were
to
pass
through
an
enemies
Dominion
,
had
they
not
need
of
a
safe
conduct
,
or
letters
Patents
?
The
accomplishment
of
the
divin
Will
(
says
Saint
Augustin
)
is
our
chief
liberty
;
Le
ts
therfore
amidst
all
our
dangers
produce
these
Patents
,
pronouncing
often
Fiat
voluntas
tua
:
Thy
will
be
done
.
8.
If
any
were
to
pass
a
Field
overflow'd
with
water
,
had
they
not
need
of
a
Ship
to
support
them
from
sinking
?
This
World
(
says
S.
Basil
)
is
a
deluge
of
wickedness
,
and
this
life
is
a
flood
of
miseries
;
wherefore
lets
fly
to
heaven
for
refuge
,
saying
frequently
:
Sicut
in
coelo
;
As
it
is
in
heaven
.
9.
If
the
road
be
rough
and
rugged
with
Rocks
,
Hills
,
and
Mountains
;
unpassable
by
reason
of
boggs
and
quick-sands
:
unsafe
through
Earthquaques
,
&c.
had
not
the
Pilgrims
need
to
seek
out
some
secure
path
,
whereby
to
escape
such
evident
dangers
?
Our
souls
are
such
Pilgrims
in
our
bodyes
,
encompass'd
with
calamities
,
shaken
with
fears
and
apprehensions
,
terrifi'd
with
visible
and
invisible
enemies
;
Let
's
therefore
walk
in
the
way
of
our
Lords
Prayer
,
which
will
surely
lead
us
to
Paradise
,
and
say
often
;
In
terra
:
In
earth
.
10.
If
any
live
in
a
barren
land
,
oppress'd
with
famin
and
poverty
,
must
they
not
make
some
daily
provision
for
victualls
,
or
els
be
sure
to
perish
with
hunger
?
We
live
in
a
dismall
desert
,
in
a
place
of
horror
,
and
vast
solitude
(
says
the
Prophet
Moyses
Deut.
32.10
.
)
in
a
land
of
death
,
famin
,
and
miserie
:
and
Prayer
(
says
S.
Basil
)
brings
in
the
bread
of
life
for
our
spirituall
sustenance
:
Let
's
therefore
betake
us
to
our
Psalter
,
and
pray
frequently
:
Panem
nostrum
quotidianum
da
nobis
hodie
.
Give
us
this
day
our
daily
bread
.
11.
If
any
were
engag'd
in
great
sums
,
to
a
severe
prince
,
who
would
infallibly
punish
them
with
death
,
if
they
punctually
payd
not
their
debts
;
yet
promising
freely
to
pardon
all
such
as
should
humbly
petition
him
:
were
it
it
not
a
madness
to
refuse
the
asking
of
so
great
a
mercy
?
we
are
debtors
to
the
D●vin
Justice
;
and
since
we
are
uncapable
to
pay
,
we
are
liable
to
Eternall
Death
;
unless
we
will
pray
humbly
,
fervently
,
perseverantly
;
Dimitte
nobis
debita
nostra
;
Forgive
us
our
trespasses
.
12.
If
any
were
presently
to
suffer
a
cruell
death
for
their
enormous
crimes
;
unless
they
would
condescend
to
pardon
some
smaller
offences
of
their
neighbors
;
were
they
not
miserable
,
unhappy
,
obstinate
wretches
to
deny
it
?
This
Pardon
is
given
,
and
our
own
obtain'd
by
saying
cordially
:
Sicut
&
nos
dimittimus
debitoribus
nostris
,
As
we
forgive
them
,
that
trespass
against
us
.
13.
If
they
who
are
grievously
troubled
with
Diabolical
,
Carnal
,
Worldly
temptations
,
might
be
freed
by
the
carryage
of
one
little
Stone
about
them
:
were
they
not
strangely
stupid
to
neglect
so
small
a
matter
for
the
obtaining
so
great
a
benefit
?
our
Lords
Prayer
is
this
precious
Stone
,
which
(
say's
St.
Augustin
)
preserves
from
all
harms
and
illusions
:
who
then
would
not
have
it
alwaies
in
his
heart
and
mouth
,
saying
evermore
:
Et
ne
nos
inducas
in
tentationem
,
and
lead
us
not
into
temptation
.
If
finally
any
were
to
sayl
over
a
boysterous
sea
,
beset
on
this
side
with
Syrens
,
Whales
,
Gryphons
:
&
all
sorts
of
devouring
Monsters
;
on
that
side
full
of
Rocks
,
Sands
,
Gulphs
,
&
all
sorts
of
death
bringing
danger
:
And
a
King
and
Queen
standing
on
the
shore
,
should
proffer
to
give
them
two
Gemms
indu'd
with
power
to
prevent
all
these
perills
:
might
they
not
be
said
willingly
to
perish
who
willfully
refused
them
?
This
is
our
case
(
my
Christian
Auditors
!
)
who
are
to
sayl
over
the
Sea
of
this
life
,
beset
on
every
side
with
Devils
,
Sins
,
and
all
sorts
of
dangers
;
and
behold
Christ
our
King
and
Redeemer
offers
us
his
efficacious
Prayer
;
and
Mary
our
Queen
Mother
her
Angelical
Salutation
to
secure
us
from
shipwrack
.
O
let
us
gratefully
accept
them
,
and
frequently
repeat
in
our
Psalter
.
Sed
libera
nos
a
malo
.
But
deliver
us
from
evill
,
Amen
.
This
is
the
Summary
of
St.
Dominicks
sermon
,
whereby
he
parabolically
(
in
imitation
of
our
blessed
Saviour
)
and
efficaciously
inculated
the
fruits
of
this
divin
Prayer
into
the
hearts
of
his
devout
Auditors
:
and
which
we
surely
may
hope
also
to
receive
,
if
we
dayly
fervently
,
and
perseverantly
pour
it
forth
in
the
divin
presence
,
by
the
due
performance
of
our
Psalter
and
Rosary
.
The
third
part
of
the
Rosary
is
the
Angelical
Salutation
,
dictated
by
the
divin
wisdom
to
the
Archangell
Gabriel
,
to
St.
Elizabeth
,
and
to
the
Church
.
A
Salutation
which
the
Apostles
&
Primitive
Fathers
so
highly
reverenc'd
,
that
they
prescribed
it
to
be
recited
in
their
Lyturgies
;
A
Salutation
,
which
(
says
St.
Peter
Damian
)
briefly
contains
Christs
Incarnation
,
Mans
Redemption
,
the
Worlds
Renovation
.
And
surely
by
this
admirable
connexion
of
our
Lords
Prayer
,
and
the
Angelical
Salutation
in
the
Rosary
;
we
are
admonish'd
;
that
as
in
the
fall
of
human
nature
both
Sexes
were
guilty
,
and
our
common
miserie
proceeded
from
Adams
and
Eves
joynt
prevarication
;
so
in
the
reparation
and
redemption
of
Mankind
,
there
is
the
concurrencie
of
a
Man
Chr●st
our
Lord
,
and
also
(
though
in
an
inferiour
degree
)
of
a
Woman
the
Virgin-Mother
:
and
therefore
joyning
together
both
these
Prayers
,
we
render
most
humble
thanks
for
this
inestimable
benefit
;
Thanks
to
our
blessed
Redeemer
for
having
vouchsaf'd
to
become
man
for
us
;
And
thanks
to
his
holy
Mother
for
having
furnish'd
him
with
this
humanity
,
in
which
he
redeem'd
us
.
But
if
you
desire
(
most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
to
have
a
more
particular
sight
of
the
signall
Fruits
and
Effects
of
this
Angelical
Salutation
;
listen
attentively
to
this
compendious
Narrration
.
-
First
,
of
the
joyes
wherewith
it
replenishes
the
blessed
Virgin
mary
.
-
Secondly
,
of
the
terrours
wherewith
it
strikes
the
Devill
.
-
Thirdly
,
of
the
profits
it
brings
to
mankind
.
First
,
this
Salutation
(
I
say
)
replenishes
the
sacred
Virgin
with
a
new
accidentall
Joy
,
sweetness
,
and
complacencie
,
as
often
as
it
is
devoutly
and
reverently
recited
.
For
by
saying
Hail
,
(
or
Ave
,
)
that
is
,
sine
vae
,
without
woe
,
)
we
offer
her
the
Joy
of
her
great
Purity
,
immunitie
,
and
exemption
from
all
the
woe
and
miserie
,
whereunto
all
women
(
except
her self
,
the
singularly
preserv'd
Virgin-Mother
)
were
subject
by
the
fall
of
our
first
Parents
;
For
as
Ave
,
is
a
literall
conversion
of
Eva
:
so
our
Mother
Mary
receiv's
in
this
Salutation
a
triple
Benediction
;
[
1.
]
of
becoming
fruitfull
without
corruption
:
[
2.
]
big
with
child
without
burdensomness
.
[
3.
]
and
a
Mother
without
feeling
the
pains
of
child-bearing
,
opposite
to
our
Mother
Eves
triple
Malediction
;
of
corruption
in
conceiving
,
cumbersomness
after
conception
,
and
pains
in
childing
.
By
saying
Mary
,
we
renew
in
her
the
Joy
of
her
great
D●gnitie
,
design'd
by
this
glorious
Name
and
Title
;
First
,
as
it
signifies
the
Star
of
the
Sea
,
to
which
[
says
St.
Bernard
]
she
is
most
fitly
compar'd
:
because
,
as
a
Star
sends
forth
its
beam
without
any
self-blemish
,
so
Mary
brings
forth
a
child
without
any
self-violation
.
The
Beam
doth
nothing
diminish
the
Stars
claritie
,
nor
Mary's
child
her
integrity
&c.
Secondly
,
as
Mary
signifies
,
illuminated
:
for
she
receiv'd
from
God
[
as
a
full
Moon
from
the
Sun
]
a
plenitude
of
the
light
of
Grace
here
below
,
and
enjoyes
a
plenitude
of
the
light
of
Glory
there
above
.
Thirdly
,
as
Mary
signifies
an
Illuminatrix
to
which
St.
Bernard
alluding
;
Maryes
presence
[
says
he
]
illuminates
the
whol
World
,
and
even
Heaven
it self
shines
now
more
clearly
,
being
irradiated
with
the
beams
of
her
virginall
lamp
.
Fourthly
,
as
Mary
[
in
the
Syriack
language
]
signifies
a
fair
Lady
:
and
what
Creature
[
says
St.
Bernard
]
was
comparable
to
her
in
the
beauty
of
mind
and
body
,
who
bore
and
brought
forth
the
beauty
of
Men
and
Angells
?
when
therefore
we
say
Ha●l
Mary
,
we
say
rejoyce
,
Sacred
,
Worthy
,
Noble
Virgin
,
bright
Star
,
illuminated
of
God
,
enlightner
of
Men
,
fair
Lady
of
the
whol
Universe
.
By
saying
Full
of
Grace
,
we
renew
a
double
joy
in
her
.
First
,
we
affirm
that
Grace
,
which
man
lost
by
Sin
,
to
be
restored
by
her
Sanct●ty
:
and
Secondly
,
we
pronounce
that
Grace
,
which
other
Saints
possess
partially
,
to
be
in
her
unitedly
,
fully
,
universally
.
You
O
Mary
!
[
says
the
admiring
St.
Hierom
]
are
indeed
full
of
Grace
,
for
the
Grace
which
was
given
to
others
by
parcell
,
was
powred
into
you
in
a
full
plenitude
.
By
saying
,
our
Lord
is
with
thee
:
we
renew
in
her
the
joy
of
her
divin
Conception
,
than
which
,
nothing
imaginable
can
be
to
her
more
gratefull
,
pleasing
,
and
acceptable
:
for
hereby
,
we
not
only
pronounce
God
the
Son
to
be
with
you
,
O
Mary
!
[
says
St.
Bernard
]
whom
you
cloath
with
your
flesh
;
but
God
the
Holy
Ghost
,
by
whom
you
conceive
;
and
God
the
Father
,
who
eternally
begets
,
whom
you
temporally
bear
.
Yes
,
O
Mary
!
The
Father
is
with
you
,
who
powerfully
makes
his
Son
yours
;
the
Son
is
with
you
,
who
is
admirably
born
of
you
;
the
Holy
Ghost
is
with
you
,
who
graciously
with
the
Father
and
Son
,
sanctifies
you
,
&c.
By
saying
,
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
Women
;
We
renew
in
her
the
Joy
of
her
supernall
Benediction
:
As
if
we
should
say
,
Rejoyce
,
O
Mother
Mary
!
who
deserved'st
to
have
our
mother
Eves
curse
chang'd
into
a
blessing
for
thy self
and
all
others
;
and
to
become
the
glory
,
honour
,
and
crown
of
all
Women
;
consecrating
the
Virginall
estate
,
before
thy
Marriage
;
the
Conjugall
estate
,
in
thy
wedlock
;
and
the
estate
of
Widowhood
,
after
thy
husbands
death
,
and
thy
Sons
Passion
.
By
saying
,
Blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
Womb
:
We
renew
in
her
the
Joy
of
the
divin
prayse
:
As
if
we
should
say
,
with
S.
Bernard
:
Thou
art
surely
Blessed
,
O
sacred
Virgin
!
but
we
bless
him
above
all
,
who
hath
so
highly
blessed
thee
:
Not
because
thou
art
Blessed
,
therefore
is
the
fruit
of
thy
womb
blessed
;
but
thou
art
therfore
Blessed
,
because
he
hath
prevented
thee
with
his
blessings
,
in
whom
all
Nations
are
blessed
,
and
of
whose
fulness
,
thou
also
with
others
,
though
far
above
all
others
,
hast
receiv'd
what
thou
hast
,
&c.
Behold
(
O
children
of
Mary
,
who
have
your
hearts
inflam'd
with
her
sacred
affection
!
)
what
excesses
of
joyes
you
present
,
offer
,
and
renew
in
your
dear
Mother
,
when
you
devoutly
salute
her
with
this
Angelicall
Canticle
and
Jubilation
!
All
which
we
shall
confirm
by
one
only
authentick
Revelation
which
her self
was
graciously
pleas'd
to
impart
to
one
of
her
dear
darlings
,
a
famous
Saint
of
our
Order
.
S.
Mechtild
,
studying
which
way
she
might
render
some
gratefull
service
to
her
glorious
Mother
,
the
Virgin
Mary
:
beheld
her
in
a
vision
with
the
Angelicall
Salutation
before
her
in
great
and
golden
characters
;
and
heard
these
words
proceeding
from
her
sacred
Mouth
.
Know
(
daughter
!
)
that
no
human
devotion
can
ever
reach
higher
than
this
Salutation
;
nor
can
any
one
more
sweetly
gratifie
me
,
than
by
reverently
pronouncing
this
Ave
,
Hail
,
wherewith
the
Eternall
father
at
the
first
greeted
me
;
confirming
me
by
his
omnipotencie
(
ab
omni
va
culpae
)
from
all
woe
and
miserie
of
sin
and
impiety
:
The
eternall
son
likewise
illustrating
me
with
his
wisdom
,
ordain'd
me
to
be
forthwith
the
bright
Star
,
wherewith
Heaven
and
earth
are
enlightned
,
as
by
this
my
name
Mary
is
declared
:
The
holy
Ghost
also
imbuing
me
with
his
goodness
,
rendred
me
so
full
of
Grace
,
that
whosoever
seeks
grace
and
favour
by
my
means
,
may
surely
find
it
.
And
by
that
sentence
:
Our
Lord
is
with
thee
,
I
am
reminded
of
the
ineffable
union
and
operation
,
which
the
whole
Trinity
wrought
within
me
,
when
he
coupled
the
substance
of
my
flesh
to
his
own
Divin
Nature
in
one
Person
;
God
becoming
Man
,
and
man
God
.
Surely
the
sweetness
I
then
felt
,
exceeds
all
expression
.
By
the
following
words
:
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
Women
;
all
Mankind
admiringly
confesses
my
singular
priviledges
,
prerogatives
,
and
perfections
,
above
all
other
pure
creatures
.
And
lastly
;
By
,
Blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
Womb
,
he
is
pray'sd
extoll'd
and
magnifi'd
,
who
made
me
thus
blessed
by
vouchsafing
to
be
born
of
me
.
Thus
much
of
the
first
effect
of
this
divin
Salutation
.
2.
This
Slutation
strikes
the
Devill
with
terrour
,
and
each
word
thereof
exceedingly
troubles
,
torments
,
and
confounds
him
.
For
Ave
or
Hail
,
displeases
the
Devill
;
because
by
Eve
he
had
procured
mans
wo
and
misery
,
which
by
this
Ave
is
redressed
.
Mary
,
he
cannot
abide
,
because
she
bruised
his
head
.
Full
of
Grace
,
affrights
him
,
who
is
full
of
malice
.
Our
Lord
is
with
thee
,
renews
his
torment
;
because
himself
was
formerly
with
Eve
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
her
posterity
,
til
he
became
disposess'd
by
Christs
being
with
Mary
.
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
Women
,
exceedingly
troubles
him
,
because
he
by
Eve
had
brought
a
Malediction
upon
all
mankind
;
which
by
Mary
was
cancell'd
and
chang'd
into
a
Benediction
.
Blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
Womb
Jesus
;
utterly
confounds
him
,
because
by
this
blessed
fruit
of
Mary
,
he
was
totally
defeated
,
and
conquered
.
3.
This
Salutation
brings
great
profit
to
mankind
;
and
if
we
will
seriously
dive
into
the
hidden
sense
and
meaning
of
each
syllable
wherof
it
is
compos'd
;
we
shall
every
where
find
some
evill
to
be
repell'd
,
or
some
good
thing
acquir'd
.
Let
us
therefore
frequently
make
our
humble
addresses
to
the
most
holy
Virgin
Mary
saying
:
Ave
,
Hail
,
O
Immaculate
Mother
!
you
were
free
from
all
wo
,
and
blemish
of
sin
;
help
me
,
who
am
therewith
defil'd
;
and
defend
me
from
the
Eternall
wo
I
have
thereby
deserved
.
Mary
,
O
Virgin
Illuminated
of
God
,
Illuminatrix
of
Blind
sinners
,
Bright
Star
of
the
Sea
,
and
the
worlds
beautifull
Lady
;
Enlighten
my
eyes
,
that
I
may
not
sleep
in
death
,
and
plead
my
cause
at
your
Sons
Tribunall
,
that
I
may
be
preserv'd
from
blindness
of
heart
,
and
finall
Impenitencie
;
Full
of
Grace
:
O
Mary
,
you
found
grace
with
God
,
to
become
his
dearly
beloved
Spouse
,
Daughter
,
and
Mother
;
to
be
indu'd
with
all
vertues
,
excellencies
,
and
perfections
;
to
be
honour'd
and
exalted
above
all
creatures
,
and
to
be
crown'd
Queen
of
Heaven
:
Impart
to
me
so
much
grace
out
of
this
your
great
plenty
,
as
may
procure
my
reconciliation
to
your
Sons
favour
and
friendship
,
Our
Lord
is
with
thee
:
And
O
sacred
Mother
,
let
him
by
your
powerfull
means
,
be
with
me
also
.
He
was
with
you
;
In
your
Soul
spiritually
,
in
your
Body
corporally
;
and
let
him
be
here
with
me
by
Faith
&
charity
spiritually
,
and
hereafter
by
vision
,
and
fruition
eternally
.
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
Women
:
O
most
Blessed
Mother
!
bestow
a
Mothers
blessing
upon
me
your
child
,
and
free
me
by
your
merits
,
and
intercession
from
all
future
curse
and
malediction
;
And
blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
Womb
Jesus
.
O
Eternally
Blessed
Jesu
!
be
unto
me
a
Jesus
.
O
Mary
!
be
unto
me
a
Mother
.
Thus
both
Saints
and
sinners
,
may
find
sufficient
fewell
for
their
devotion
in
the
recitall
of
this
divin
Salutation
.
They
,
for
the
encrease
of
their
sanctity
:
These
,
for
the
redress
of
their
misery
.
And
what
pious
Christian
will
not
be
henceforth
stirr'd
up
the
fervent
and
frequent
use
of
this
Salutation
,
which
is
so
short
,
and
yet
so
sweet
,
and
so
full
of
celestiall
fruits
and
profits
;
and
to
which
they
are
invited
(
says
the
mellifluous
S.
Bernard
)
by
Gabriels
example
,
by
the
Baptists
exultation
,
and
by
the
hopes
of
gaining
a
resalutation
?
O
happiness
!
to
be
met
with
reciprocall
courtesies
by
so
holy
,
so
honourable
,
so
powerfull
a
Mother
!
and
to
be
repay'd
with
rich
and
reall
gifts
&
benefits
for
our
verbal
salutations
and
services
!
For
she
will
not
be
backward
(
says
Albertus
)
to
answer
us
,
nor
silent
to
resalute
us
,
because
she
is
the
Mother
of
humility
,
civility
,
and
courtesie
;
and
her
resalutation
,
is
a
collation
of
all
sorts
of
spirituall
favours
,
and
benefits
.
Let
us
therefore
,
O
my
Brethren
!
(
says
S.
Bernard
)
come
before
her
sacred
Image
(
or
Representative
)
and
with
bended
knees
,
imprint
upon
it
our
kisses
,
saluting
her
and
saying
:
Hail
Mary
full
of
Grace
;
our
Lord
is
with
thee
,
&c.
The
fourth
Part
of
the
Rosary
,
is
the
Meditation
upon
the
Fifteen
Mysteries
;
whereof
,
Five
are
call'd
Joyfull
,
Five
Dolorous
,
and
Five
Glorious
;
as
shall
be
hereafter
more
particularly
set
down
and
described
.
Now
since
the
great
fruits
and
Profits
,
which
redound
to
pious
souls
,
by
the
devout
reflexion
upon
these
divin
Mysteries
,
(
and
the
same
may
be
said
of
all
internall
Prayer
)
are
much
more
easily
experienced
,
than
explicated
:
And
also
,
since
this
is
largly
deliver'd
by
severall
learned
Authors
,
upon
the
subject
of
Mentall
Prayer
and
Meditation
;
we
shall
only
here
give
you
(
most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
some
few
rules
and
cautions
,
whereby
you
may
understand
how
to
manage
these
your
Meditations
,
for
your
best
spirituall
profit
,
and
advantage
.
Whosoever
therefore
will
fruitfully
meditate
upon
the
Joyfull
,
and
Glorious
Mysteries
of
the
Rosary
:
First
,
must
do
it
,
with
a
certain
intimate
and
affectionate
congratulation
of
heart
and
soul
:
as
holy
Church
invites
us
in
the
person
of
the
sacred
Virgin
:
Congratulate
with
me
,
all
yee
that
love
our
Lord
;
for
that
I
being
a
little
one
,
have
pleas'd
the
most
high
,
and
have
born
God
and
man
in
my
bowell●…
,
for
by
this
sincere
congratulation
,
we
become
sweetly
transform'd
into
the
holy
Virgins
affections
;
feeling
(
as
it
were
)
the
same
Joys
,
wherewith
her
heart
was
replenish'd
.
Secondly
,
It
must
be
done
,
with
a
due
and
gratefull
thanksgiving
,
for
the
Benefitts
bestow'd
upon
us
,
and
upon
the
Blessed
Virgin
:
Praysing
God
for
his
Mercies
with
her
,
and
by
her
example
in
her
divine
Magnificat
.
Thirdly
,
It
must
be
done
with
a
devout
attention
and
recollection
:
without
which
,
all
prayer
and
meditation
(
as
our
Reason
dictates
,
and
the
Angelicall
Doctor
proves
)
will
be
altogether
fruitless
and
unprofitable
.
In
like
manner
,
whosoever
will
reap
true
profit
by
reflecting
upon
the
Dolorous
Mysteries
,
must
do
it
;
-
First
,
with
a
mind
and
intention
,
to
imitate
the
Patience
,
Humility
,
Piety
,
and
whatsoever
vertue
,
he
finds
there
exemplifi'd
.
-
2.
To
compassionate
with
our
loving
Redeemer
,
and
his
dear
Mother
in
their
sufferings
.
-
3.
To
admire
our
Saviours
Mercy
and
Goodness
:
Considering
Who
?
What
?
For
whom
?
And
from
whom
he
endured
.
-
4.
To
rejoyce
at
our
own
Redemption
,
and
at
the
Angells
Reparation
.
-
5.
To
transform
our selves
by
sincere
affection
,
(
as
it
were
)
into
our
Crucifi'd
Saviour
.
-
6.
To
rest
sweetly
upon
that
sacred
object
,
making
it
our
place
of
retreat
and
refuge
;
and
hiding
our selves
in
the
open'd
holes
of
that
Rock
(
the
wounds
of
our
Redeemer
)
from
the
World
,
Sin
,
Satan
,
and
whatsoever
tempts
,
or
troubles
us
during
this
our
lives
Pilgrimage
.
If
in
this
,
or
some
such
like
manner
,
you
seriously
reflect
upon
these
sacred
Mysteries
,
(
which
the
Rosary
represents
for
your
mentall
entertainment
,
whilst
your
mouth
utters
the
Vocall
Prayers
;
)
you
may
undoubtedly
gather
the
desired
Fruit
of
your
devotion
,
and
make
a
speedy
progress
in
the
way
of
solid
piety
and
perfection
.
And
having
thus
declared
unto
you
(
most
devout
Rosarists
!
)
with
as
much
brevity
,
and
perspicuity
,
as
the
sublimity
of
the
Argument
,
the
slenderness
of
our
Capacity
,
and
the
Law
's
and
limits
of
a
Prefatorie
Oration
would
permit
;
the
excellent
vertues
,
fruits
,
and
benefits
of
each
single
part
of
the
Rosarie
and
Psalter
;
to
wit
,
of
the
Apostles
Creed
,
the
Lords
Prayer
,
the
Angelicall
Salutation
,
and
the
Meditations
upon
the
Mysteries
:
It
will
be
needless
to
dilate
upon
such
profits
,
as
proceed
from
the
whol
Rosary
together
;
both
for
that
the
praise
of
the
parts
,
expresly
redounds
to
the
whol
Compositum
,
and
also
because
it
were
to
undertake
an
impossible
taske
.
For
who
can
worthily
commemorate
the
manifold
wonders
,
and
Miracles
,
the
infinit
fruits
and
profits
,
the
multitudes
of
benefits
and
blessings
,
which
have
been
from
time
to
time
deriv'd
,
and
do
still
dayly
descend
upon
all
Mankind
,
by
the
due
practise
of
this
divin
sort
of
prayer
and
pietie
?
All
Ages
afford
authentick
examples
of
them
;
All
Books
are
full
fraught
with
them
;
all
Histories
make
mention
of
them
.
Wherefore
,
for
a
conclusion
of
all
that
might
be
added
concerning
this
never
sufficiently
prays'd
,
extoll'd
,
and
admir'd
subject
:
Let
the
frequent
Reflexion

those
five
points
(

the

WE
have
hitherto
(
in
our
first
Book
)
prepared
you
(
O
pious
Children
of
Mary
!
)
with
some
necessary
Instructions
,
and
encouragements
;
and
brought
you
(
as
it
were
)
with
your
Bedes
in
hand
,
ready
to
recite
your
Rosary
.
Now
since
the
Rosary
,
is
begun
and
ended
with
[
1.
]
the
Sign
of
the
Cross
,
and
[
2.
]
saying
of
the
Creed
;

frequent
Repetition
of
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
[
4.

Angelicall
Salutation
;
and
[
5.
]
in
the
continuall
Meditation
upon
the
chief
Mysteries
of
our
Redeemer
and
his
sacred
Mother
:
you

ground
your selves
in
the
knowledge
and
understanding
(
at

in
some
measure
)
of
these
Prayers
,
and
of
these
Mysteries
;

your
occasions
shall
permit

§.
1.
Of
the
Sign
of
the
Cross
,
wherewith
we
begin
our
Rosary
.
THe
sign
of
the
Cross
,
was
prefigur'd
and
announc'd
by
the
Prophets
,
taught
and
recommended
by
our
Redeemer
Christ
Jesus
;
and
even
us'd
and
practis'd
in
the
Catholique
Church
.
With
this
sign
all
faithfull
Christians
ought
to
begin
all
their
actions
(
according
to
that
Counsell
and
command
of
S.
Cyprian
;
Make
this
sign
both
eating
and
drinking
;
and
sitting
and
standing
;
and
speaking
and
walking
:
And
of
S.
Hierome
:
At
every
action
,
and
upon
all
occasions
,
let
the
hand
imprint
a
Cross
)
:
But
much
more
carefull
should
they
be
,
to
begin
their
prayers
&
devotions
,
(
which
are
the
chief
Acts
of
Religion
)
with
this
sacred
sign
;
Amd
most
of
all
,
ought
they
so
to
begin
the
recitall
of
their
Rosary
,
which
(
as
hath
been
declared
in
the
precedent
Oration
)
is
the
most
eminent
sort
of
prayer
and
devotion
.
S.
Augustin
,
alleadges
severall
Reasons
for
this
generall
custom
of
all
Christians
:
Because
this
sign
of
the
Cross
(
says
he
)
directs
the
course
of
our
Pilgrimage
,
instructs
us
for
our
combat
,
helps
us
in
our
conflict
,
strengthens
us
for
our
Conquest
;
It
destroys
all
dangers
,
and
defends
us
from
all
Diabolicall
subtilties
and
machinations
.
To
which
may
be
added
,
1.
That
this
sign
of
the
Cross
,
is
a
compendious
Profession
of
the
Christian
Faith
,
wherein
the
Mystery
of
the
sacred
Trinity
,
the
Incarnation
,
and
Passion
of
our
Blessed
Saviour
,
and
the
Remission
of
sins
by
his
merits
is
briefly
taught
and
declared
.
2.
It
is
a
certain
badge
,
by
which
Orthodox
Christians
are
known
and
distinguish'd
from
Sectaries
and
Infidells
:
we
are
all
said
to
be
Christians
,
(
says
S.
Augustin
)
for
we
are
all
sign'd
with
Christs
signet
.
3.
It
is
an
Invocation
of
the
divin
assistance
in
all
our
actions
,
for
by
this
sign
we
invoke
the
sacred
Trinity
to
our
ayd
,
by
the
mediation
of
our
Saviours
Passion
.
4.
It
affords
us
spirituall
comfort
and
courage
;
For
if
thou
art
not
asham'd
(
says
S.
Augustin
)
to
make
this
sign
exteriourly
before
men
;
thou
mayst
confidently
expect
to
feel
the
divin
sweetness
in
thy
Soul
.
5.
It
is
a
Meditation
,
and
Imitation
of
our
Redemers
passion
.
When
thou
signest
thy self
with
the
Cross
,
(
says
S.
Chrysostom
)
ruminate
in
thy
mind
the
whol
cause
of
the
Cross
,
and
thou
shalt
easily
quench
the
fires
of
all
thy
passions
.
6.
It
gives
us
hopes
of
our
salvation
.
For
what
may
not
he
hope
,
who
beholds
Christ
dying
on
the
Cross
for
his
Redemption
;
and
who
looks
upon
Christ
more
faithfully
,
than
he
,
who
frequently
imprints
his
Cross
upon
his
heart
and
forehead
?
to
which
the
Apostle
alluding
,
exhorts
all
Christians
to
remember
,
at
how
dear
a
rate
they
are
bought
,
and
to
glorifie
and
carry
God
in
their
Bodyes
.
7.
It
inflames
our
souls
in
the
divin
love
and
charity
.
For
who
can
consider
Christ
expiring
on
the
Cross
for
his
sake
,
and
continue
cold
and
tepid
?
God
commends
his
love
towards
us
(
say's
the
Apostle
)
,
In
that
while
we
were
yet
sinners
,
Christ
dyed
for
us
.
8.
It
a
verts
from
us
Gods
indignation
and
revenge
:
In
which
sense
,
that
saying
of
the
Psalmist
is
understood
by
S.
Gregory
of
Nice
,
and
by
S.
Hierom.
Thou
(
O
Lord
!
)
hast
given
a
sign
to
them
that
fear
thee
,
that
they
may
fly
from
before
the
Bow
.
9.
It
defends
us
from
all
our
enemyes
:
so
the
same
Fathers
explicate
that
other
passage
of
the
Psalmist
;
shew
some
sign
upon
me
for
good
,
that
they
who
hate
me
,
may
see
it
,
and
be
asham'd
,
because
thou
(
O
Lord
)
hast
holpen
me
,
and
comforted
me
.
10.
It
drives
away
the
Devills
.
Sign
thy self
(
says
S.
Cyril
)
with
the
Cross
in
the
forehead
;
that
the
Devill
perceiving
the
Kings
character
,
may
be
affrighted
and
fly
from
thee
:
And
again
,
This
sign
(
says
he
)
is
a
comfort
to
Christians
,
and
a
terrour
to
the
Devills
:
And
the
Martyr
Ignatius
:
The
sign
of
the
Cross
is
a
Trophe
against
the
power
of
the
Prince
of
this
world
,
which
hearing
and
beholding
,
he
fears
and
trembles
.
Finally
,
The
sign
of
the
Cross
(
says
S.
Cyrill
)
is
the
Seminary
of
all
vertues
:
and
in
it
alone
(
says
S.
Ambrose
)
consists
the
prosperity
of
all
Christians
.
And
if
any
shall
question
you
(
O
Christians
!
says
Tertullian
)
whence
this
Ceremonie
had
its
first
rise
and
origin
?
Answer
them
boldly
:
Tradition
hath
taught
it
,
custom
hath
confirm'd
it
,
Faith
hath
practis'd
it
.
Since
therefore
this
sign
is
of
so
great
power
and
efficacie
,
against
the
Devills
;
so
assured
an
Antidote
against
all
sorts
of
dangers
;
so
undrayn
a
●lea
fountain
of
all
desirable
good
and
happiness
(
as
in
these
few
words
supported
by
the
authority
of
such
ancient
and
learned
Fathers
,
seems
sufficiently
declared
:
)
Let
us
(
O
devout
Fellow-members
of
the
sacred
Rosary
!
)
be
carefull
to
arm
our selves
therewith
,
upon
all
occasions
,
at
all
times
,
in
all
places
(
and
especially
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
our
Psalter
)
remembring
that
we
are
spirituall
Souldiers
,
listed
by
Christ
our
Captain
,
to
fight
under
the
banner
of
his
blessed
Cross
,
against
the
World
,
the
Flesh
and
the
Devill
;
&
undoubtedly
hoping
by
vertue
thereof
,
to
overcom
and
vanquish
them
.
§.
2.
Of
the
Apostles
Creed
,
which
is
,
The
first
part
of
the
Rosary
.
THe
Apostolicall
Symbol
,
or
Creed
;
is
so
called
;
for
that
it
was
made
&
compil'd
(
saith
S.
Clement
)
by
the
twelve
Apostles
,
being
yet
together
,
each
one
of
them
adding
what
was
conceiv'd
necessary
;
to
the
end
,
that
when
they
were
separated
,
they
might
preach
this
Rule
of
Faith
to
all
Nations
:
(
which
as
S.
Augustin
,
largely
declares
)
is
a
Plain
,
Short
,
Compleat
comprehension
of
our
Faith
,
that
so
its
Plainness
might
correspond
to
the
Hearers
capacitie
;
its
Shortness
to
their
memorie
,
its
Compleatness
to
the
contained
doctrin
.
For
that
which
in
Greek
is
named
Symbolum
,
is
called
Collation
in
Latin
because
the
Catholique
doctrine
,
is
compendiously
knit
and
collected
together
in
this
divin
Symbol
;
which
signifies
also
Indicium
,
a
mark
,
note
,
or
token
,
whereby
Orthodox
Believers
might
be
known
and
distinguished
from
all
others
.
Now
some
of
the
Reasons
,
why
this
sacred
Creed
ought
to
be
recited
at
the
entrance
upon
our
Rosary
,
may
be
briefly
these
.
1.
Because
order
and
Reason
seem
to
require
,
that
after
the
solemn
confession
and
Invocation
of
the
Holy
Trinity
,
(
which
is
don
,
(
as
aforesaid
)
by
making
the
sign
of
the
Cross
)
:
We
should
in
the
next
place
,
make
a
profession
of
what
we
believe
of
the
Trinity
.
2.
Because
Faith
,
being
the
Foundation
of
Prayer
;
(
as
the
Apostle
expresly
tells
us
;
He
that
comes
to
God
,
must
believe
)
We
do
hereby
most
fitly
at
the
begìnning
of
our
Prayer
renew
,
excite
,
and
reduce
our
Faith
from
its
habit
,
to
an
act
.
3.
Because
the
Church
begins
and
ends
the
Canonicall
Office
with
a
Creed
;
and
the
Rosary
(
as
hath
been
declared
)
is
an
Imitation
of
the
Davidicall
Psalter
and
Church
Psalmodie
.
4.
Because
the
Fathers
do
most
seriously
recommend
the
frequent
recitall
of
the
Creed
to
all
faithfull
Christians
:
Amongst
whom
S.
Augustin
;
(
some
of
whose
many
pithy
expressions
upon
this
point
,
we
shall
only
here
produce
,
to
avoid
unnecessary
prolixity
)
says
thus
Having
learned
your
Creed
recite
it
daily
;
when
you
rise
out
of
your
bed
,
when
you
compose
your
selv's
to
rest
,
&c.
Let
i●
not
seem
irksome
to
repeat
it
,
Repetition
is
convenient
,
to
avoid
oblivion
:
Do
not
pretend
,
that
you
said
it
yesterday
,
that
you
said
it
this
day
,
that
you
have
it
fresh
in
your
memory
;
but
express
it
again
,
repeat
it
,
contemplate
it
;
let
your
Creed
be
your
glass
,
there
consider
your
selv's
and
see
whether
you
believe
what
you
profess
,
and
rejoyce
daily
in
your
Faith
:
Let
your
Faith
be
your
richess
,
and
let
your
Creed
be
(
as
it
were
)
the
continuall
cloathing
of
your
interiour
.
Do
you
not
cloath
your
body
when
you
rise
out
of
your
Bed
?
So
by
reciting
your
Symboll
,
you
cloath
your
soul
least
forgetfulness
should
leave
it
naked
,
&c.
An
Exercise
upon
the
Apostles
Creed
.
I
Believe
.
I
Believe
,
acknowledge
,
and
confess
with
heart
and
mouth
,
all
such
Articles
of
Faith
as
the
holy
Church
proposes
to
be
believed
,
because
God
,
(
who
is
the
Truth
it self
)
hath
revealed
them
.
In
particular
I
believe
all
that
is
contain'd
in
the
Apostles
Creed
,
whereof
I
here
make
my
profession
in
the
presence
of
God
my
Creator
,
and
all
the
Court
of
Heaven
protesting
and
promising
to
live
and
dy
in
this
Faith
.
O
Lord
encrease
my
Faith
!
I
believe
,
(
Lord
!
)
help
my
unbelief
.
I
believe
in
God
the
Father
Allmightie
,
Creator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
.
I
Believe
in
the
first
Person
of
the
sacred
Trinitie
,
the
Eternall
Father
,
whom
I
acknowledg
to
be
full
of
all
possible
and
imaginable
might
and
power
:
and
that
he
produc'd
the
Heaven
,
the
Earth
,
and
all
Creatures
both
visible
and
invisible
of
nothing
,
by
his
sole
word
and
command
,
and
out
of
his
own
free-will
and
goodness
.
O
my
Allmightie
,
and
Allmercifull
Father
!
you
can
as
easily
bring
me
back
into
the
dark
Abysmus
of
my
first
Nothing
,
as
you
from
thence
powerfully
drew
me
,
and
gave
me
this
present
Being
;
Behold
,
I
most
humbly
acknowledg
the
absolute
and
perpetuall
dependancie
which
I
have
upon
your
divin
Majesty
:
I
confess
,
that
of
my self
I
am
nothing
,
have
nothing
,
can
do
nothing
,
and
that
my
whol
Being
,
breathing
,
and
motion
,
proceeds
from
your
bounty
,
goodness
,
and
power
.
And
in
Jesus
Christ
his
only
Son
,
our
Lord
.
I
Believe
in
the
second
Person
of
the
sacred
Trinity
,
the
Son
,
whom
the
Father
begot
from
all
Eternity
,
communicating
to
him
all
his
own
Essence
,
Greatness
,
Perfection
:
who
continuing
God
,
became
Man
for
the
Salvation
of
Sinners
;
was
nam'd
Christ
Jesus
,
and
is
the
Soveraign
Lord
and
King
of
all
Souls
.
O
divin
word
!
which
descended
from
Heaven
to
Earth
,
to
deliver
me
from
sin
and
Satan
,
be
you
my
Lord
by
Election
,
as
you
are
by
Creation
and
Redemption
.
I
freely
give
and
bequeath
my self
to
you
for
your
perpetuall
Bondslave
.
Live
O
Jesu
and
reign
in
my
Soul
,
as
you
do
in
the
whol
extent
of
this
large
Universe
.
Who
was
conceiv'd
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary
.
I
Believe
that
Gods
Son
,
that
he
might
become
Man
,
did
vouchsafe
to
unite
to
his
divin
Person
,
a
Rationall
soul
and
a
human
body
,
which
the
Holy
Ghost
miraculously
form'd
in
the
chast
bowels
of
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
,
and
of
her
proper
and
pure
blood
:
so
that
he
was
truly
conceiv'd
in
her
,
and
truly
born
by
her
,
without
any
prejudice
to
her
Virginity
;
O
Jesu
!
the
lover
of
Purity
,
who
chose
the
chastest
woman
of
the
World
for
your
Mother
:
by
the
Immaculate
Purity
of
your
Conception
,
and
Nativitie
,
give
me
the
gift
and
grace
of
purity
of
Life
and
Conversation
.
Suffered
under
Pontius
Pilate
,
was
Crucify'd
,
dead
,
and
buryed
.
I
Believe
that
the
Son
of
God
Incarnate
endured
very
severe
Torments
in
his
humanity
for
the
Worlds
Redemption
,
that
he
was
adjudg'd
to
dy
by
the
Prefident
Pilate
:
and
that
after
his
death
he
was
buryed
and
laid
in
a
Sepulchre
.
O
Jesu
!
the
Redeemer
of
my
Soul
!
your
death
is
the
only
hope
of
my
Life
:
be
you
graciously
pleas'd
to
apply
to
me
one
single
drop
of
your
sacred
Bloud
,
and
I
shall
rest
secure
in
this
Life
,
and
be
happy
for
all
Eternitie
.
He
descended
into
Hell
,
the
third
day
he
arose
again
from
the
Dead
.
I
Believe
that
in
the
death
of
my
blessed
Saviour
,
his
Soul
was
really
seperated
for
a
time
from
his
Body
,
to
descend
into
that
part
of
Hell
which
was
call'd
Limbus
Patrum
,
where
all
such
souls
as
from
the
Worlds
first
beginning
departed
this
life
in
a
good
estate
,
were
till
then
detaind
;
I
believe
that
he
deliver'd
them
from
that
Dungeon
,
and
that
upon
the
third
day
,
his
Soul
return'd
to
his
buryed
Body
,
became
reunited
unto
it
,
and
rays'd
it
up
to
Life
and
Immortality
.
O
most
glorious
Soul
of
Christ
my
Saviour
!
which
thus
mercifully
visited
the
Patriarchs
lying
in
the
sad
Prison
of
Limbus
:
vouchsafe
to
give
me
also
a
gracious
v●sit
,
that
whil'st
I
live
,
I
may
duly
and
devoutly
love
and
honour
you
:
and
when
my
Soul
shall
be
call'd
out
of
this
imprisoning
Body
,
it
may
be
rays'd
up
to
Contemplate
,
admire
,
and
prayse
your
greatness
,
goodness
,
and
glorie
,
for
all
Eternitie
.
He
ascended
into
Heaven
,
and
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
Allmightie
.
I
Believe
that
Jesus
my
Redeemer
,
being
by
his
own
power
resuscitated
from
death
to
life
,
ascended
up
to
Heaven
by
his
own
strength
,
where
he
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
his
Father
(
to
whom
he
is
every
way
equall
)
as
the
chief
of
all
the
Blessed
,
full
of
glory
,
and
felicity
.
O
Jesu
,
my
Redeemer
!
how
worthy
are
you
,
thus
to
triumph
,
to
reign
,
to
be
exalted
above
all
creatures
!
But
O
,
forget
not
in
the
state
of
your
greatness
,
the
condition
of
your
miserable
Creature
,
bought
with
the
price
of
your
precious
Bloud
!
O
King
of
glory
!
grant
that
all
my
thoughts
,
words
,
actions
,
and
desires
,
may
aym
at
nothing
but
your
only
honour
.
From
thence
he
shall
come
to
judge
the
Quick
and
the
Dead
.
I
Believe
that
Christ
Jesus
when
he
shall
please
to
put
a
Period
to
time
,
and
all
sublunary
things
will
descend
visibly
from
Heaven
in
his
glorious
Humanity
,
to
judg
all
Manking
,
both
the
good
and
the
bad
,
and
publickly
to
reward
to
punish
every
one
according
to
their
works
.
Ah!
just
Judg
of
all
consciences
!
what
shall
I
then
do
or
what
shall
I
answer
,
when
you
shall
question
me
concerning
my
whol
lives
transactions
?
I
believe
in
the
Holy
Ghost
.
I
Believe
in
the
third
person
of
the
sacred
Trinitie
,
the
Holy
Ghost
,
who
joyntly
proceeds
both
from
the
Father
and
from
the
Son
,
and
is
to
them
equall
in
Greatness
,
in
Majestie
in
all
things
whatsoever
.
O
sacred
Spirit
!
the
God
of
Infinit
Love
and
Charity
!
breath
upon
my
flinty
heart
,
mollify
it
into
meekness
towards
my
Neighbour
,
and
melt
it
into
the
sweet
affections
of
your
pure
and
perfect
Love
.
I
believe
the
Holy
Catholick
Church
,
the
Communion
of
Saints
.
I
Believe
the
Catholick
Church
to
be
the
only
Church
of
Christ
;
that
it
is
holy
,
universall
,
apostolical
,
and
infallible
in
things
appertaining
to
Faith
,
and
that
in
this
Church
there
are
found
many
pious
Souls
,
pleasing
to
the
divin
Majesty
,
which
mutually
help
each
other
by
their
prayers
and
good
works
!
O
my
Lord
and
my
God!
I
render
you
most
humble
and
hearty
thanks
for
having
made
me
a
child
and
member
of
this
holy
Church
,
in
which
I
have
so
great
hopes
,
and
so
many
helps
to
save
my
soul
:
give
me
your
grace
(
good
Jesu
!
)
that
I
may
improve
this
signall
favour
,
and
persever
in
this
saving
Faith
,
that
from
it
I
may
pass
to
the
clear
vision
of
your
prepared
glory
.
The
Forgiveness
of
Sins
.
I
Believe
that
God
is
both
able
and
willing
to
forgive
me
my
Sins
,
and
that
he
hath
left
power
in
his
Church
to
remit
them
(
be
they
never
so
heynous
and
enormous
)
and
this
especially
by
the
Priests
absolution
in
the
Sacrament
of
Penance
.
O
God
of
Infinit
goodness
and
mercy
!
let
all
Creatures
Eternally
prayse
and
magnifie
your
sacred
Name
,
for
having
given
such
power
to
men
,
and
such
comfort
to
poor
sinners
.
The
Resurrection
of
the
Flesh
.
I
Believe
that
the
very
body
,
in
which
my
Soul
now
lives
and
breaths
,
and
all
human
bodyes
(
though
after
death
they
are
red●c'd
into
dust
in
their
graves
)
shall
at
the
end
of
the
World
,
and
at
the
great
day
of
generall
Judgment
,
be
rays'd
to
l●fe
,
by
Gods
omnipotent
command
,
and
his
Angells
ministry
to
be
then
rejoyn'd
to
their
same
souls
,
and
to
live
for
evermore
.
O
Dread
Soveraign
in
whose
hands
are
life
and
death
,
and
to
whose
beck
all
things
are
obedient
;
Ingrave
deeply
in
my
heart
and
soul
the
hope
of
a
happy
Resurrection
,
that
the
horrour
of
this
temporall
dissolution
,
and
death
of
my
body
,
may
not
over-terrify
and
dismay
me
.
And
life
everlasting
,
Amen
.
I
Believe
that
the
good
shall
live
in
Heavenly
glory
for
all
Eternitie
;
and
that
the
wicked
shall
live
eternally
in
infernall
torments
.
O
good
God!
grant
that
I
may
so
live
in
your
grace
during
this
my
short
Pilgrimage
,
that
I
my
live
with
you
in
glorie
,
in
your
Eternall
Paradise
,
Amen
.

Of
the
Pater
Noster
,
or
our
Lords
.
Prayer
.
The
second
part
of
the
Rosary
.
THe
Pater
Noster
,
is
the
Prayer
,
which
our
Lord
Jesus
taught
his
disciples
,
informing
them
from
his
own
sacred
mouth
(
and
in
them
all
Christians
)
how
they
should
pray
,
and
what
they
should
beg
daily
of
the
divin
Majestie
.
It
is
the
prime
Exemplar
of
all
Prayers
,
the
Abridgment
of
the
Gospell
the
Summary
of
all
our
just
and
fitting
petitions
;
and
the
absolute
Form
of
imploring
all
such
good
things
as
we
can
expect
and
desire
,
and
of
deprecating
all
such
bad
things
as
we
are
to
shun
and
avoid
.
Finally
,
It
is
to
be
by
so
much
the
more
zealously
frequented
,
prized
and
reverenced
before
all
other
prayers
whatsoever
;
by
how
much
it
excels
them
all
in
all
sorts
of
prerogatives
.
First
,
in
Authority
and
dignity
,
as
being
prescribed
by
Christ
Jesus
,
the
W●sdom
it self
,
the
Truth
it self
,
the
Divinity
it self
.
2.
In
Brevity
and
facility
;
as
embracing
in
few
,
easy
,
and
intelligible
words
,
all
that
can
rightly
be
demanded
of
the
Divin
Majesty
.
3.
In
vertu
and
efficacie
;
For
how
should
our
heavenly
Father
refuse
to
hear
our
petitions
which
are
humbly
presented
to
his
Throne
of
Mercy
in
the
express
terms
,
and
in
obedience
to

A
larger
Explication
of
our
Lords
Prayer
:
It
contains
a
Preface
and
seven
Petitions
.
THE
PREFACE
,
Our
Father
which
art
in
Heaven
.
THese
words
put
us
in
mind
(
at
the
beginning
of
our
prayers
)
of
the
severall
parts
of
our
duty
.
1.
(
Our
)
being
a
form
of
plurall
signification
declares
,
that
we
are
to
draw
into
the
communication
of
our
devotions
all
such
as
are
confederated
with
us
in
the
common
relation
of
sons
to
the
same
Father
.
2.
(
Father
)
If
God
be
our
Father
,
we
surely
owe
unto
him
a
filiall
Love
,
Fear
,
Reverence
,
Obedience
:
For
if
we
are
Refractory
,
Irreligious
;
Rebellious
,
how
can
we
presume
to
call
him
Fathe●
?
But
if
we
are
dutifull
children
,
pliable
to
Will
,
and
obedient
to
his
precepts
;
we
may
confidently
expect
from
him
,
childrens
portions
and
inheritances
.
3.
Which
art
in
Heaven
.
This
tells
us
where
our
Treasure
is
,
and
consequently
where
our
hopes
and
hearts
should
be
fixed
;
and
whither
all
our
desires

affections
,
are
to
be
directed

our
course
towards

but
content
to

and
as
the
Divin
Giver
pleases
,
to
dispense
it
,
with
a
constant

which
therefore

frailty
,
ignorance
,
and
sudden
surprisall
:
but
those
of
deliberation
,
of
election
,
of
express
malice
.
3.
We
petition
for
a
Pardon

not
only
of
our
Sins
of
Om
ssion
,
but
of
Commission
:
not
only
of
our
Carnall
sins
,
but
of
our
Spirituall

not
only
of
our
known
sins
,
but
of
our
secret
ones
:
not
only
of
sins
don
directly
against
the
divin
Majesty
,
but
also
against
our
Neighbour
and
our
selvs
:
not
only
of
mortall
sins
,
but
of
veniall
.
4.
Forgive

By
which
condition
we
tacitly
oblige
our
selvs
to
forgive
all
such

have
any
way
injur'd
and
offended
us
,
even
from
our
hearts
,
not
entertaining
so
much
as
a
thought
of
Revenge
,
but
truly
loving
all
them
that
have
wrong'd
us
;
for
so
only
and
not
otherwise
:
we
desire
our
Creators
Pardon
for
our
own
committed
crimes
and
impieties
.
The
sixth
Petition

lead
us
not

we
desire
light

2.
St.
Cyprian
(
out
of
an
old
latin
copie
)
reads
,
Suffer
us
not
to
be
led
into
Temptation
:
that
is
,
permit
us
not
to
be
overcome
by
Temptation
,
nor
to
give
our
assents
to
sinfull
suggestions
.
3.
Since
our
life
upon
Earth
is
a
perpetuall
warfare
,
and
no
one
can
be
Crown'd
unless
he
couragiously
resist
the
World
,
the
Flesh
,
and
the
Devill
,
his
swo●n
Enemies
;
therefore
we
instantly
implore
the
divin
assistance
against
them
,
that
we
may
be
able
to
resist
the
Devill
,
chastise
our
Flesh
,
despise
the
World
:
and
so
finally
obtain
a
Crown
of
Glory
after
our
Victory
.
4.
Finally
,
we
here
acknowledge
our
own
weakness
,
frailty
nothing
,
and
that
all
our
sufficiencie
is
from
our
Creators
grace
,
mercy
,
and
bounty
:
which
we
therefore
beg
and
implore
not
to
abandon
us
in
our
necessities
,
afflictions
,
temptation
,
The

.
Whereby
,
as
weary
of
all
things
which
hinder
our
desired
union
and
conjunction
,
with
our
beloved
Lord
and
,
the
only
Spouse
of
our
Souls
,
and
the
finall
End
of
our
Life
and
Pilgrimage
upon
Earth
,
we
beg
to
be
delivered
.
First
,
not
only
from
all
temporall
and
corporall
Ev●lls
,
as
Famine
,
Pestilence
,
Wars
.
2.
But
also
from
all
spirituall
Evills
,
as
impatience
,
pus●illanimity
,
distrust
of
the
divin
succour
in
our
tribulations
,
sufferings
,
persecutions
.
3.
From
this
World
,
which
allures
us
to
sin
,
and
from
these
bodyes
,
which
imprison
our
Spirits
.
4
Finally
,
from
all
that
displeases
the
divin
Majesty
,
under
whose
sacred
wings
we
desire
to
shelter
our
selvs
from
the
violence
of
all
our
adversaries
,
that
so
no
Temptation
may
weaken
our
Faith
,
discomfort
our
Hope
,
distroy
our
Charity
,
daunt
our
Courage
,
alter
our
Resolutions
,
hinder
our
Perseverance
,
or
overthrow
our
Glories

Our
Father
which
art
in
Heaven
.
Adoration
and
Acknowledgement
.
O
Heavenly
Father
!
I
no
sooner
had
a
Being
,
but
I
see
the
Effects
of
your
paternall
Bountie
,
inflowing
upon
me
all
things
necessary
for
my
preservation
,
even
to
this
present
Instant
,
in
which
I
appear
before
your
dread
Majesty
to
adore
you
,
prayse
you
,
and
to
implore
your
Mercy
.
I
humbly
acknowledg
my
own
Ingratitude
,
Rebellion
,
Disobedience
:
all
which
notwithstanding
,
you
have
still
continued
the
affection
of
a
tender
Father
towards
me
,
in
cherishing
me
,
comforting
me
,
correcting
me
,
pardoning
me
,
protecting
me
,
and
treating
me
not
as
a
Traytor
,
a
Prodigall
,
a
Slave
,
but
as
one
of
your
dearly
beloved
Children
.
Wherefore
I
adore
you
as
my
Soveraign
Lord
God
,
and
I
honour
you
,
as
my
heavenly
Father
,
and
I
prayse
you
,
as
my
powerfull
Creator
,
and
I
love
you
as
my
mercifull
Preserver
;
and
I
promise
for
the
future
to
obey
you
more
punctually
,
to
serve
you
more
faithfully
,
to
prayse
you
more
fervently
,
and
to
procure
the
dilatation
of
your
divin
honour
and
glory
more
zealously
upon
all
occasions
,
with
a
syncere
,
filiall
and
cordiall
affection
.
Hallowed
be
thy
Name
.
A
desire
of
true
Light
.
O
what
a
Father
!
How
full
of
pity
,
patience
,
compassion
,
to
have
so
long
endured
the
undutifullness
,
irreverence
,
insolencie
of
an
●ll
behaved
,
uncivill
,
unnaturall
child
!
who
instead
of
procuring
the
sanctification
of
your
sacred
Name
in
all
your
creatures
,
and
the
exaltation
of
your
honour
in
all
his
actions
,
hath
still
continued
to
dishonour
your
Majesty
,
to
disedify
his
Neighbour
,
to
misuse
your
gifts
,
graces
,
and
mercyes
;
and
to
defile
his
heart
and
soul
with
all
sorts
of
sins
and
impieties
.
Grant
,
O
Father
of
Light
and
Love
that
I
may
have
a
clear
sight
and
lively
apprehension
of
your
affection
,
and
my
obligation
:
that
truly
considering
you●
mercy
,
and
my
own
misery
,
I
may
rely
confidently
upon
that
,
and
rise
speedily
out
of
this
:
so
recovering
your
favour
and
friendship
,
and
eternally
sanctifying
praysing
,
and
magnifying
your
sacred
Name
and
Majesty
.
3.
Thy
Kingdom
come
.
Sorrow
for
our
Sins
,
and
sighing
for
Heaven
.
I
freely
confess
,
O
Father
of
Mercy
,
an●
King
of
Majesty
!
that
my
own
willful●
blind●ess
and
disobedience
hath
mo●…
justly
de●riv'd
me
of
a
Childs
title
an●
quality
,
Permit
me
therefore
to
presen●
my self
before
you
as
a
poor
Bond-slave
,
or
at
least
as
the
Prodigall
Child
with
tears
in
my
eyes
,
sighs
in
my
heart
,
and
this
humble
petition
in
my
mouth
.
Father
!
I
have
offended
against
Heaven
,
and
before
you
:
I
have
dissipated
all
the
graces
,
you
so
lovingly
and
liberally
gave
me
,
and
forfeiting
my
whol
freedom
,
am
become
the
absolute
slave
of
sensuality
,
vanity
,
impietie
,
which
now
over-rule
me
,
raign
within
me
,
and
render
me
a
rebell
against
your
divin
Majesty
.
Mercy
,
O
most
compassionate
Father
!
Destroy
this
Kingdom
of
Sin
and
Satan
,
and
Establish
yours
in
my
soul
!
Live
Lord
Jesu
in
my
heart
!
I
will
have
no
other
King
but
him
.
Deprive
me
not
(
Dear
Father
!
)
of
that
happy
inheritance
,
which
your
Son
my
Saviour
hath
purchased
for
me
with
the
price
of
his
precious
blood
;
But
mercifully
grant
that
your
glorious
Kingdom
may
come
to
be
my
lot
and
portion
,
at
my
departure
out
of
this
place
of
banishment
;
that
I
may
there
contemplate
,
praise
,
and
love
you
for
evermore
.
4.
Thy
will
be
done
in
Earth
,
as
it
is
in
Heaven
.
Efficacious
Purpose
and
Resolution
of
self-deniall
.
I
Desire
no
longer
,
O
Eternall
Father
!
to
follow
my
irregular
appetites
,
and
to
march
under
the
Banner
of
my
own
will
and
opinion
,
which
are
the
fountains
of
all
my
defects
,
disloyalties
,
transgressions
:
No
Lord
!
For
your
love
,
I
utterly
renounce
them
with
all
possible
horrour
and
hatred
.
All
my
will
,
and
wish
is
,
that
your
sacred
will
may
be
accomplish'd
in
me
upon
Earth
,
in
Heaven
,
in
all
things
whatsoever
,
purely
,
perfectly
,
eternally
;
for
all
your
Ordinances
are
full
of
Justice
and
Equity
;
I
adore
them
all
;
I
embrace
them
all
;
I
submit
to
them
all
.
Thrice
happy
those
souls
which
are
truly
conformable
to
you
,
which
incessantly
contemplate
you
,
which
unweariedly
follow
you
,
which
faithfully
serve
you
,
and
perpetually
prayse
you
.
5.
Give
us
this
day
our
daily
Bread
.
Petition
for
a
supply
of
our
Necessities
.
IT
is
the
property
of
Children
oppressed
with
hunger
,
to
address
themselv's
to
their
Parents
with
tears
and
cry's
to
move
them
to
compassion
:
Behold
here
your
poor
Child
,
O
loving
and
liberall
Lord
God!
extreamely
labouring
with
spirituall
thirst
and
hunger
,
exceedingly
wearied
in
the
worlds
service
:
you
are
my
Father
,
my
Feeder
,
my
daily
Bread
;
And
it
is
you
only
who
are
capable
to
satisfy
my
hunger
,
quench
my
thirst
,
comfort
me
in
this
my
calamitous
condition
:
All
Creatures
are
but
small
Crums
,
falling
from
your
Royall
table
.
O
how
sweet
and
savory
is
the
Bread
of
teares
,
and
the
Water
of
contrition
to
a
truly
Penitent
,
Contrite
,
Converted
Soul
!
Your
sugred
words
(
O
Lord
!
)
and
your
celestiall
inspirations
are
her
most
delicious
sawce
,
and
the
participation
of
your
most
precious
Body
and
Blood
,
her
daily
Bread
.
O
my
God
?
Let
not
the
affection
to
temporall
objects
,
deprive
me
of
spirituall
comforts
;
nor
let
any
earthly
solicitudes
and
greediness
after
worldly
goods
choak
up
the
memory
and
gust
of
those
better
goods
you
have
promis'd
and
prepar'd
for
me
in
Heaven
.
But
let
my
daily
Exercise
be
to
sanctify
your
holy
Name
;
Let
the
interiour
feeling
of
your
Kingdom
of
Love
in
my
soul
,
be
my
only
pleasure
,
palace
,
and
Paradise
;
and
let
the
accomplishment
of
your
sacred
Will
,
be
my
daily
Bread
and
sustenance
,
during
the
space
of
this
my
Pilgrimage
.
But
alas
!
6.
Forgive
us
our
trespasses
,
as
we
forgive
them
that
trespass
against
us
.
Reflection
upon
our
Impieties
,
and
Supplication
for
pardon
.
WHen
I
consider
,
O
Father
of
Infinit
Clemency
!
not
only
my
life
past
,
but
even
my
present
condition
;
not
only
all
my
enormous
and
innumerable
offences
,
but
even
my
daily
and
hourly
imperfections
,
negligences
,
iniquities
,
to
wit
,
-
1.
My
Time
still
lost
,
either
in
doing
Evill
,
or
in
doing
nothing
,
or
in
doing
things
impertinent
.
-
2.
My
lingring
and
voluntary
complacencies
in
thought
against
Charity
,
Chastity
,
Humility
.
-
3.
My
continued
Resistency
,
contristation
,
hinderance
of
your
holy
spirit
in
my self
or
others
.
-
4.
My
Irreverence
,
Indevotion
,
Tepiditie
in
my
prayers
,
recollections
,
spirituall
Exercises
.
-
5.
My
Excesses
of
Tongue
,
Eyes
,
Ears
,
and
all
my
senses
,
as
well
in
respect
of
your
divin
Majestie
,
as
my
neighbour
,
and
my self
.
When
(
I
say
)
I
seriously
reflect
upon
these
and
the
rest
of
my
manifold
transgressions
,
I
find
my self
so
deeply
indebted
,
that
I
should
undoubtedly
turn
Bankrupt
,
did
not
your
fatherly
goodness
,
and
my
deer
Redeemers
boundless
mercy
and
merits
give
me
hope
,
comfort
,
and
encouragement
:
For
,
O
my
God!
In
what
large
sum
do
I
stand
ingaged
to
your
sacred
Justice
.
-
1.
I
owe
thanks
for
so
many
signall
Benefits
.
-
2.
I
owe
Contrition
for
so
many
committed
Crimes
.
-
3.
I
owe
love
,
for
love
;
my
life
for
your
Sons
death
;
my
whol
self
,
for
your self
given
,
and
regiven
so
frequently
unto
me
.
And
yet
,
insensible
wretch
that
I
am
!
I
pay
none
of
these
just
debts
,
but
daily
increase
my
obligations
by
my
daily
Ingratitude
.
What
other
course
then
can
I
now
take
,
but
humbly
to
cry
out
,
Dimitte
mihi
;
Pardon
your
prodigall
Child
(
O
compassionate
Father
!
)
for
the
love
of
your
dear
Son
Christ
Jesus
:
He
is
my
surety
,
and
he
hath
satisfied
for
my
debts
,
even
according
to
the
severe
rigour
of
your
divin
Justice
,
whose
least
drop
of
blood
is
abundantly
sufficient
to
expiate
the
whol
worlds
impieties
.
If
therefore
my
own
guilt
shuts
up
my
mouth
,
and
your
Mercy
gate
;
yet
his
sacred
blood
will
be
my
Key
to
open
both
the
one
and
the
other
.
Pardon
me
then
(
O
my
pious
Father
!
)
for
your
Crucified
Jesu's
sake
,
as
I
for
the
love
of
him
,
do
most
freely
,
heartily
,
and
sincerely
pardon
all
them
who
have
injur'd
,
wrong'd
,
and
offended
me
in
any
thing
whatsoever
.
7.
And
lead
us
not
into
temptation
.
Recourse
to
the
divin
Protection
.
I
Am
day
and
night
,
(
O
most
Powerfull
Father
and
Protector
!
)
assaulted
with
an
infinit
number
of
Enemyes
,
which
incessantly
seek
my
utter
ruin
and
destruction
:
The
flesh
charmes
me
,
the
world
enchants
me
,
the
Devill
cheats
me
,
and
every
thing
becomes
an
object
of
Temptation
unto
me
.
Ah!
How
shall
poor
I
conquer
such
powerfull
champions
?
I
find
no
other
means
,
than
to
make
my
addresses
to
you
(
My
all-powerfull
Father
!
)
and
humbly
to
shelter
my self
under
the
wings
of
your
paternall
Protection
.
For
Alas
!
such
is
my
frailty
,
that
I
shall
surely
fall
without
the
support
of
your
Grace
;
being
faln
,
I
shall
be
unable
to
rise
without
the
help
of
your
strength
;
being
raysed
up
,
I
cannot
hope
to
persevere
without
the
continuall
influence
of
your
assistance
.
Shield
me
then
under
your
sacred
wings
;
Protect
me
as
the
Apple
of
your
eye
;
command
your
Angell
of
light
to
preserve
me
from
the
darkness
of
Sin
,
from
the
dangers
of
my
Adversaries
,
from
the
dismall
sleep
of
sudden
and
unprovided
death
,
from
all
that
is
any
way
displeasing
to
your
divin
will
and
liking
.
8.
But
deliver
us
from
evill
.
Aspirations
to
perfection
,
fruition
,
union
.
WHen
(
O
Father
of
Glory
!
)
shall
I
be
freed
from
sin
,
from
Sathans
from
my self
,
from
all
that
hinders
the
coming
of
your
Kingdom
?
O
Kingdom
of
Peace
,
Kingdom
of
love
,
Kingdom
of
all
desirable
felicity
!
There
it
is
(
O
Father
!
)
that
I
shall
sanctify
your
Name
,
that
I
shall
perform
your
will
,
purely
,
perfectly
,
eternally
.
There
I
shall
no
longer
beg
of
you
my
daily
Bread
,
but
remain
abundantly
satiated
with
the
sight
of
your
blessed
face
,
and
the
fruition
of
your
beatifying
glory
.
There
my
Debts
will
be
all
payd
,
my
sins
pardoned
,
my
soul
glorified
.
There
,
will
be
neither
Temptation
,
nor
Tribulation
;
neither
occasion
of
sin
,
nor
punishment
of
sin
,
but
all
tranquillity
,
all
conformity
,
all
perfection
.
There
lives
thy
loving
Father
(
O
my
Soul
!
)
There
is
thy
home
and
Countrey
,
there
lyes
thy
portion
and
patrimony
.
O
Jerusalem
,
my
dear
Countrey
,
my
delicious
Kingdom
,
my
desired
Inheritance
,
when
shall
I
possesse
thee
?
O
sweet
Father
!
when
shall
I
sincerely
love
you
!
O
my
poor
Soul
!
when
shall
I
see
thee
free
from
stains
and
blemishes
,
full
of
purity
and
perfection
?
Let
's
yield
,
let
's
yield
to
our
good
Father
:
Let
's
promptly
submit
to
all
his
precepts
,
and
Ordinances
;
Let
's
serve
him
with
a
filiall
reverence
,
obedience
,
confidence
;
that
we
may
here
feel
the
effects
of
his
Grace
,
and
hereafter
enjoy
the
priviledges
of
his
Glory
.
§.
4.
Of
the
Ave
Marie
.
Or
,
Angelicall
Salutation
.
The
third
part
of
the
Rosary
.
THere
is
no
question
amongst
all
faithfull
Christians
;
but
that
the
Pater
and
Ave
are
the
two
most
excellent
Prayers
we
have
(
as
S.
Thomas
largely
proves
)
and
consequently
that
they
are
of
greatest
efficacy
to
obtain
what
we
want
and
desire
:
The
one
being
deliver'd
and
dictated
by
the
divin
Mouth
of
Gods
own
Son
our
Redeemer
Christ
Jesus
:
The
other
,
being
pronounced
by
an
Archangell
,
sent
Ambassador
from
the
sacred
Trinity
to
Her
who
was
chosen
out
amongst
all
women
,
to
be
the
worthy
Mother
of
the
second
divin
Person
,
the
Word
Eternall
.
And
who
can
doubt
,
but
that
God
himself
is
also
the
Author
of
this
Salutation
,
and
that
he
put
this
lesson
into
his
Legats
mouth
,
whom
surely
he
sent
well
instructed
in
all
things
which
might
concern
his
weighty
Embassie
?
Let
us
therefore
briefly
declare
the
use
and
scope
of
this
short
,
sweet
,
and
mysterious
Salutation
,
and
Prayer
;
and
afterwards
dilate
it
with
Acts
and
Affections
;
that
it
being
so
often
to
be
repeated
in
the
recitall
of
the
Rosary
,
may
give
more
gust
to
their
devotion
,
who
will
sometimes
take
the
time
and
leasure
to
ruminate
upon
it
more
diligently
.
There
is
surely
nothing
more
befitting
a
faithfull
Christian
,
than
a
frequent
Reflexion
upon
his
Redemption
:
And
since
the
Incarnation
of
Gods
Son
in
the
sacred
Virgins
womb
is
the
chief
Mystery
thereof
,
we
must
needs
conclude
,
That
it
is
an
office
of
Piety
most
gratefull
to
the
divin
Majesty
to
revolve
often
those
very
words
,
whereby
so
great
a
Mystery
(
so
long
expected
,
so
ardently
desired
,
so
zealously
begg'd
by
the
holy
people
of
all
precedent
ages
)
was
first
announced
to
mankind
;
especially
it
being
directly
intended
,
as
a
thankfull
&
dutifull
commemoration
of
the
signall
benefit
of
our
Redemption
,
and
our
Saviours
Incarnation
.
The
Ave
Maria
(
says
our
devout
S.
Bernard
)
is
of
such
power
and
excellency
,
That
it
causes
Heaven
to
smile
,
the
Angells
to
be
glad
,
the
Devills
to
fly
away
,
and
Hell
to
fear
and
tremble
,
as
often
as
it
is
reverently
recited
.
After
whom
,
said
another
of
the
B.
Virgins
Minions
Alanus
;
The
Ave
Mary
is
a
prayer
little
in
words
,
but
large
in
Mysteries
it
is
short
in
discourse
,
but
sublime
in
sense
and
vertu
;
it
is
sweet
above
hony
,
and
precious
beyond
the
purest
gold
.
Listen
,
says
he
,
with
admiration
to
what
I
shall
here
tell
,
O
you
true
Lovers
of
Mary's
name
and
honour
.
All
Heaven
rejoyceth
,
and
the
whol
Earth
is
astonished
,
when
I
say
Ave
Maria.
Sathan
avoyds
,
and
Hell
trembles
,
when
I
say
Ave
Maria.
The
world
becomes
contemptible
,
and
my
heart
melts
into
inward
affections
,
when
I
say
Ave
Maria.
All
fear
is
banished
,
and
the
Flesh
is
conquered
,
when
I
say
Ave
Maria.
Devotion
arises
,
compunction
encreases
,
when
I
say
,
Ave
Maria.
Faith
is
strengthned
,
Hope
redoubled
,
Charity
enflamed
,
comfort
renewed
,
the
Spirit
recreated
,
when
I
say
Ave
Maria.
This
Angelicall
Salutation
may
be
said
to
have
three
parts
,
as
it
hath
three
Authors
,
though
all
inspired
from
God
,
the
Prime
Author
,
and
Origin
thereof
.
The
First
part
;
(
Hail
Mary
full
of
grace
,
our
Lord
is
with
thee
,
blessed
art
thou
amongst
women
)
was
delivered
by
the
Angell
Gabriel
,
as
it
is
recorded
in
the
2.
chap.
of
St.
Luke
verse
28.
The
second
part
;
(
&
blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
womb
Jesus
!
)
was
pronounced
by
St.
Elizabeth
the
holy
Baptists
Mother
,
Luke
2.
vers.
42.
The
third
part
;
(
Holy
Mary
,
Mother
of
God
,
pray
for
us
sinners
now
,
and
at
the
hour
of
our
death
)
was
added
by
the
Catholick
Church
,
in
the
generall
councill
of
Ephesus
,
and
recommended
to
the
use
of
all
Christians
in
opposition
of
Nestor
,
and
other
hereticks
,
who
deny'd
the
blessed
Virgin
to
be
Gods
Mother
,
The
first
and
second
part
of
this
Salutation
were
frequently
made
use
of
,
even
from
the
first
Infancie
of
Christianity
,
(
as
appears
by
the
Liturgie
of
St.
James
,
receiv'd
in
the
sixth
generall
Councill
:
)
and
the
third
part
ever
since
the
generall
Council
of
Ephesus
.
The
affections
contain'd
in
the
Hail
Mary
,
or
Angelicall
Salutation
.

the
fruit
of
thy
womb
,
Jesus
!
Whereby
we
bless
and
prayse
both
the
Mother
and
the
Son
,
we
begg
both
their
blessings
,
and
desire
all
creatures
to
bless
,
prayse
,
and
honour
them
both
.

,
and

Eves
hereditary

name
of
the

Mother
of
Jesus
,
signifying
,
Lady

Star
of
the

.
Full

.
As
being
full
of
God
,
by
her
speciall
priviledg
of
conceiving
the
Word
Eternall
,
and
consequently
full
of
all
vertue
,
goodness
,
and
perfection
whatsoever
.
Our
Lord
is
with
thee
.
For
God
the
Father
in
a
most
singular
manner
over-shaddowed
her
,
God
the
Holy
Ghost
most
abundantly
came
upon
her
,
and
God
the
Son
most
wonderfully
became
man
within
her
.
The
Father
was
with
her
,
as
with
his
Daughter
:
the
Son
was
with
her
,
as
with
his
Mother
:
the
Holy
Ghost
was
with
her
,
as
with
his
dearly
beloved
Spouse
,
and
choycest
Tabernacle
.
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
Women
.
That
is
,
over
,
above
,
and
beyond
all
women
,
because
a
Mother
,
and
a
Virgin
:
the
Mother
of
God
,
which
is
above
all
other
human
Titles
,
and
yet
a
perpetuall
Virgin
,
a
priviledg
which
never
any
other
creature
did
,
or
shall
possess
.
And
blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
womb
,
Jesus
Who
remaining
perfect
god
,
evermore
bless●d
in
his
divin
Person
,
became
perfect
man
in
her
sacred
womb
,
to
whom
we
give
all
possible
prayse
,
homage
,
and
gratitude
,
for
all
that
we
have
and
are
,
and
especially
for
this
his
cloathing
himself
with
our
human
nature
in
her
,
whereby
he
truly
becomes
our
Brother
,
and
provides
her
for
our
powerfull
Mother
.
Holy
Mary
,
Mother
of
God
,
pray
for
us
sinners
now
,
and
at
the
hour
of
our
death
.
We
make
to
her
our
humble
addresses
in
all
our
pressing
necessities
,
that
by
Her
we
may

what
we
want

whom
we
receiv'd
the
Author

of
all
goodness

in

exercise
,
and
reflection
upon
the
divin
presence
,
to
the
end
I
may
with
you
be
perpetually
united
to
him
hereafter
in
his
happy
Paradise
.
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
women
.
O
Mary
!
the
only
Mother
amongst
all
Virgins
!
O
Mary
!
the
only
Virgin
amongst
all
Mothers
!
you
conceiv'd
without
Sin
,
brought
forth
without

liv'd
without
blemish
,
and
after
your

were
translated
to
Eternall
glory
,
without
the
least
touch
of
corruption
;
therefore
blessed
are
you
above
all
women
,
who
were
totally
exempted
from
the
common
curses
of
all
other
women
.
You
bore
him
in
your
womb
,
who
bears
up
the
whol
World
:
you
infolded
him
in
your
arms
,
who
encompasses
the
spacious
frame
of
the
vast
Universe
:
you
nourish'd
him
with
your
breast-milk
,
who
gives
Being
,
life
,
food
to
all
Creatures
.
Finally
,
you
were

are
Gods
Mother
:
in
which
miraculous
word
is
included
all
the
privileges
&
perfections
,
which
can
posibly
befall
a

,
and
therefore
you

esteem'd
by
all
succeeding

,
the
most
blessed
of
all

O

each
member
,
part

expos'd
to
such
cruell
torments
for
our
Redemption
.
By
these
and
all
other
the
infinit
blessings
which
are
in

,
and
belong
to
you
:
(
sweet

!
)
bestow
on
me
the
blessing
of
your
grace
in
this
my
lives
Pilgrimage
,
and
of
your
glory
in
your
Eternall
Paradise
.
Holy
Mary
,
Mother
of
God
,
pray
for
us
sinners
now
,
and
at
the
hour
of
our
death
.
O
blessed
Mother
of
blessed
Jesus
!
despise
not
them
for
whom
the
dear
Son
of
your
womb
,
disdain'd
not
to
dy
upon
the
Cross
:
but
in
your
tender
pity
and
compassion
succour
the
miserable
,
encourage
the
weaklings
,
comfort
the
afflicted
,
and
let
all
such
feel
the
happy
effects
of
your
helping
assistance
,
as
have
recourse
to
your
powerfull
Prayers
and
Patronage
.
We
beseech
you
,
O
gracious
Mother
!
by
all
the
greatnesses
which
God
hath
given
you
,
by
the
glorious
Name
of
Mary
,
and
Title
of
Gods
Mother
,
wherewith
he
hath
honoured
you
,
by
the
singular
love
he
bore
you
upon
Earth
,
and
the
supereminent
glory
wherewith
he
hath
Crown'd
you
Queen
of
Heaven
;
Pray
now
for
us
,
that
we
may
pass
on
the
short
remainder
of
our
lives
▪
Pilgrimage
in
his
grace
and
favour
;
and
when
Death
shall
summon
us
to
depart
out
of
this
miserable
World
;
Then
,
O
then
(
most
charitable
Mother
!
)
chiefly
assist
encourage
,
and
strengthen
us
,
your
poor
children
,
and
conduct
our
Souls
to
the
happy
mansions
which
your
divin
Son
,
our
dear
Redeemer
hath
before
all
time
prepar'd
for
them
in
his
Heavenly
Kingdom
,
wherewith
you
(
O
most
glorious
Queen-Mother
!
)
they
shall
see
him
,
enjoy
him
,
and
be
united
to
him
for
all
Eternitie
.
If
we
would
thus
devoutly
reflect
sometimes
upon
these
or
the
like
mysticall
senses
,
and
rayse
up
our
Souls
to
such
like
affections
,
when
we
recite
these
divin
forms
of
Prayer
,
we
should
probably
reap
more
Spirituall
profit
by
their
frequent
repetition
.
But
we
therefore
take
little
or
no
gust
in
these
and
our
other
pious
Exercises
,
and
make
small
progress
in
perfection
,
because
we
commonly
content
our
selvs
with
the
bark
and
bare
out-side
of
the
words
,
and
seldom
or
never
penetrate
into
their
inward
marrow
,
sense
,
and
meaning
.
§.
5.
The
manner
how
to
recite
the
Rosary
.
1.
IN
the
first
place
you
are
to
settle
your self
reverently
in
the
divin
presence
,
and
(
seriously
recollecting
your
senses
)
to
cast
of
all
evagations
of
mind
,
and
extraversions
,
(
which
is
the
generall
preparation
to
all
Prayer
.
)
2ly
To
the
end
your
understanding
and
will
(
both
which
concur
in
all
well-order'd
Prayer
and
Meditation
)
may
be
profitably
employ'd
;
you
may
please
to
remember
these
two
Rules
(
which
were
before
intimated
in
the
first
book
of
this
present
Treatise
.
§.
8.
The
First
Rule
(
which
concerns
the
action
of
your
understanding
)
is
,
To
represent
before
the
Eyes
of
your
Soul
that
mysterie
,
whereon
you
are
to
meditate
,
as
even
then
acted
in
your
presence
.
As
for
Example
,
The
mysterie
whereupon
you
intend
to
make
your
meditation
,
is
,
The
Nativity
of
our
Saviour
:
Imagin
your self
standing
in
a
privat
corner
of
the
poor
Bethleem
Stable
,
beholding
hearing
,
and
admiring
all
that
there
passed
in
that
sacred
night
:
run
over
in
your
mind
the
condition
of
the
place
,
and
the
circumstances
of
the
Persons
,
and
think
what
were
their
thoughts
,
affections
,
words
,
actions
:
above
all
consider
who
it
was
,
that
appeared
to
the
World
in
this
mean
equipage
:
to
wit
,
the
Son
of
God
,
the
King
of
Glory
,
the
Monark
of
the
whol
Universe
:
then
ponder
his
love
to
mankind
in
generall
,
and
to
your self
in
particular
,
&c.
The
second
Rule
(
which
concerns
the
action
of
your
will
)
is
,
That
you
pass
speedily
from
speculative
discourses
to
devout
affections
,
and
self-reflections
,
as
for
example
,
had
you
been
in
the
Bethleem
stable
aforesaid
,
how
diligently
would
you
have
employ'd
your self
in
the
service
of
little
Jesus
,
and
his
loving
Mother
?
How
willingly
would
you
have
pick'd
up
sticks
,
made
a
fire
,
ayr'd
his
swaths
,
and
fetch'd
or
carryed
whatsoever
might
have
been
usefull
for
their
solace
and
succour
,
&c.

particular
resolution
(
drawn
from
the
subject
of
the

)
either
of
correcting
such
an
imperfection
,

means
to
the

You
may
also
represent
to
your self
the
sacred
Virgin
.
Sometimes
as
sitting
or
kneeling
in
her
silent
and
solitary
retreat
,
and
attentively
listning
to
the
Angell
Gabriels
Salutation
and
Embassy
.
Other
times
,
as
infolding
gently
her
sweet
Infant
Jesus
in
her
sacred
arms
,
imbracing
him
tenderly
in
her
bosom
,
suckling
him
lovingly
at
her
breasts
,
watching
him
carefully
with
her
eyes
,
cherishing
him
affectionatly
with
her
kisses
,
contemplating
him
devoutly
with
her
heart
.
Other
times
as
painfully
wayting
on
him
from
place
to
place
in
the
time
of
his
Passion
,
sorrowfully
standing
by
him
at
the
foot
of
his
Cross
,
cheerfully
rejoycing
with
him
at
his
Resurrection
.
Other
times
,
as
gloriously
reigning
in
Heaven
,
mercifully
vouchsafing
to
hearken
to
our
prayers
,
and
piously
presenting
them
to
her
Son
.
Or
otherwise
according
to
the
severall
mysteries
,
and
sutably
to
each
ones
gust
and
devotion
.
4.
You
are
also
here
to
be
exhorted
to
propose
to
your self
the
cause
(
whether
common
or
particular
)
which
moves
you
now
to
the
recitall
of
the
Rosary
:
as
for
example
,
I
intend
now
to
prayse
my
Lord
God
for
the
benefit
of
my
Creation
,
Redemption
,
Vocation
,
&c.
Or
In
the
honour
of
my
Saviours
sacred
Nativity
,
bitter
Passion
,
glorious
Resurrection
,
admirable
Ascention
,
&c.
Or
In
the
honour
of
the
blessed
Virgins
Annunciation
,
Visitation
,
Assumption
,
Coronation
,
&c.
Or
I
intend
to
render
thanks
to
my
Creator
for
such
a
particular
favour
as
for
mine
own
,
or
my
friends
Conversion
,
delivery
from
danger
,
&c.
Or
any
other
privat
or
publick
benefit
.
Or
,
I
intend
to
implore
the
divin
assistance
for
the
overcoming
of
such
a
Temptation
,
extirpating
such
a
vice
,
obtaining
such
a
vertu
.
Or
,
For
a
good
success
in
such
an
affair
;
Or
,
that
I
may
make
a
happy
progress
in
my
Studies
,
&c.
Consider
therefore
briefly
at
the
beginning
of
your
prayers
,
what
it
is
that
you
chiefly
intend
:
and
if
it
be
any
temporall
or
worldly
benefit
which
you
desire
to
obtain
,
be
sure
you
demand
it
not
absolutely
,
but
only
conditionally
,
as
thus
:
If
it
please
the
divin
Majesty
,
and
that
it
is
for
my
good
and
his
glory
:
I
humbly
beg
a
happy
end
of
such
a
Law-sute
:
success
in
such
a
journey
,
prosperity
in
such
an
undertaking
,
&c.
5.
Then
taking
your
Bedes
in

,
or
having
this
your
Book
open
before

begin
your
Rosary

saying
,
In
the
name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
Amen
.
6.
Then
adding
this
Preparatorie

I
may
be

heard
by
your
divin
Majesty
:
through
the
merits
of
your
Son
,
our
Lord

with
heart

say

,
saluting
the
blessed
Virgin
,
in
honour
of
her
three
singular
Prerogatives
.
Of
being
-
1.
The
Daughter
of
the
Eternall
Father
.
-
2.
The
Mother
of
the
Eternall
Son
.
-
3.
The
Spouse
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
9.
Then
Reflecting
upon
the
first
mysterie
:
say
,
our
Father
,
and
ten
Hail
Maries
,
and
so
pass
on
to
the
second

and
the
rest
of
the

,
according
to
the
order
hereafter
described
:
and
in
the
end
of
every
Decade
you
are
to
say
,
Glory
be
to
the
Father
,
and
to
the
Son
,
and
to
the
Holy

.
As
it
was
in
the
beginning
,
is
now
,
and
ever

,
Amen
.
Then

book
:
§.
7.
that
whilst
his
mouth
is
employ'd
in
the
due
pronunciation
of
the
aforesaid
prayers
,
his
mind
is
to
be
embusied
in

of
certain
divin

reduced
to
the
number
of
Fifteen

the
fifteen
Decades
,
or
Tens
of
the
sacred
Rosary
,
and
are
here
set
down
in
that
direct
order
which
ought
to
be
observ'd
in
meditating
upon
them
:
which
is
,
First
to
begin
with
the
five
joyfull
mysteries
.
Secondly
,
to
proceed
to
the
five
Dolorous
.
Thirdly
,
to
conclude
with
the

For
according
to
this
order
they
were
accomplish'd
in
the
Persons
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
his
Blessed
Mother
.
The
five
Joyfull
Mysteries
;
So
called
,
for
that
they
contain
the
chief
Joys
which
the
most
sacred
virgin
Mary
felt
,
concerning
her
Son
Christs
human
nature
.

The

Christs
Incarnation
by
the
Archangel
Gabriel

Blessed
Virgin
Mary

Heav'ns
loftyest
turret
to
earth's
center
bends
,
Th'
Incarnat
Word
to
our
low
vale
descends
,
And
Eccho's
there
usher'd
by
Angells
voyce
,
And
by
a
purer
Virgins
vocall
choyce
;
While
She
,
according

this
word
of
thine
,
Humbly
reply'd
,
thy
Masters
word
be
mine
.
2.

Saint
Elizabeth
.
Mary
salutes
Eliza
,
while
from
far
,
Our
Sun
is
brought
to
light
his
morning
Star

The
Star
,
though
clowded
,
feels
the
welcom
ray
,
And
leaps
to
shew
he
can
fore-run
his
day
.
Dance
unripe
Child
before
thou
com'st
to
light
,
An
after-dance
will
cause
thy
fatall
night
.
3.
The
Nativity
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
Learn
Man
,
what
wonders
in
this
birth
appear
,
The
lesser
Orbe
involves
the
greater
Spheare
:
Etheriall
lightning
leaves
its
native
shrowd
,
Comes
forth
,
not
breaking
the
mysterious
clowd
.
Angells
their
God
,
their
Master
Beasts
discern
,
Of
those
above
,
of
these
below
thee
learn
.
4.
The

,
or
Presentation
of
Christ
,
to
his
Eternall
Father
in
the
Temple
,
and
the
Purification
of
his
Mother
.
How
cheap
a
thing
is
light
?
and
more
we
pay
,
For
oylin
flame
,
than
goulden
locks
of
day
.
His
ransom
,
who
from
darkness
all
redeem'd
,
The
Priest
a
two
poor
Turtle-Doves
esteem'd
.
Jews
are

this

Must

5.
The
Finding
of
Christ

Temple
disputing

Doctors
.
Found
in
the
Temple
midst
the
Doctors
plac'd

,
at
once
vertu
and
learning
grac'd
:
If
Church

Schools
be

zeal
turns
blind
,
And

,
they

are
perfect
joynd

Adore
the

,
Learn
what
to
ask
,
and
then
present
thy
pray'r
.
The
five
Dolorous
Mysteries
,
so
called
,
for
that
they
contain
the
chief
sorrows
which
Christ
our
Redeemer
felt
in
his
bitter
Passion
.
1.
His
Agony
whil'st
he
was
at
his
Prayers
in
the
Garden
.
What
man
of
sorrow
with
two
blood-shot
eyes
,
Ten
thousand
bleeding
pores
,
there
prostrate
lyes
?
All
middle
colours
by
extreams
are
bred
,
His
candour
with
our
blackness
makes
him
red
.
Whose
present
dress
,
though
Scarlet
,
but
displays
,
The
rosy
dawn
of
two
more
Crimson
day's
.
2.
His
most
cruell
Flagellation
.
Can
all
these
bleeding
wounds
,
that
scourging
,
find
No
blush
in
face
,
no
pity
raisd
in
mind
?
Behold
the
Man
:
you
worst
of
savage
beast
;
Malice
enough
has
done
,
more
Hell
detests
.
Hate
forward
goes
till
her
loath'd
object
she
,
Not
to
be
wretched
knows
,
but
not
to
be
.
3.
His
Crowning
with
sharp
Thorns
.
The
pungent
cares
on
regall
Scepters
born
.
Do
prove
all
Diadems
be
crowns
of
thorn
:
Yet
Kings
from
scoffs
and
low
contempt
are
free
,
Derisions
reach
not
earthly
Majestie
.
Christs
Crown
no
fewer
slights
than
thorns
emboss
,
More
keen
than
those
sharp
nayls
that
pierc'd
his
Cross
.
4.
The
Carrying
of
his
Cross
to
Mount
Calvary
.
Striving
his
Cross
,
to
bear
he
faints
and
falls
,
He
that
sustains
Heaven
and
Earths
massie
balls
,
Simon
succeeds
;
on
whose
weak
shoulders
they
,
The
shadow
of
the
Cross
,
not
substance
lay
.
Simon
the
wood
,
the
weight
Christ
only
bore
,
A
world
of
heavy
sins
throng'd
in
each
pore
.
5.
His
Crucifixion
,
and
Death
upon
the
Cross
.
Hail
Tree
of
life
,
whose
trunck
the
table
made
,
Whereon
the
worlds
dear
price
was
told
and
payd
.
On
thy
fair
planks
,
our
sinking
souls
that
bore
,
Poor
shipwrackt
men
layd
hold
and
swim
to
shore
.
Raisd
from
the
depth
by
thee
they
floating
stood
Boy'd
up
with
spring-tides
of
Christs
copious
blood
.
The
five
Glorious
Mysteries
,
so
called
,
for
that
they
contain
the
chief
Glories
,
which
befell
Christ
,
and
his
sacred
Mother
.
1.
The
Resurrection
of
our
Lord
JESUS
.
The
piercing
sword
leaves
sad
Maria's
,
brest
,
Sorrow's
old
wound
makes
for
new
joy
's
a
nest
.
Jesus
himself
,
and
her
revives
,
his
light
Relumins
many
a
fire
long
quencht
in
night
.
She
sees
the
Patriarks
shine
with
him
,
his
ray
,
Dimms
not
their
weaker
Stars
,
yet
doubles
day
.
2.
His
Ascension
into
Heaven
.
Our
Heav'n-ascending
Lord
no
fiery
Steed's
,
Nor
flaming
Chariot
of
Elijah
needs
:
The
wings
of
wind
or
Angels
are
too
slow
,
His
feet
in
thier
own
motion
swifter
go
:
The
Sun
at
his
approach
,
that
fabulous
sign
,
Of
Aries
leaves
,
in
him
the
Lamb
t●
shine
.
3.
The
sending
down
the
Holy
Ghost
to
his
Church
.
In
form
of
fire
a
rushing
wind
conveighs
Ardours
divin
the
Infant
Church
to
raise
,
And
high
enthrone
in
a
majestick
Sphear
,
Above
the
reach
of
cold
distrust
or
fear
Th'
Elect
thus
freed
from
bonds
of
narrow
sense
,
In
all
known
tongues
all
unknown
truth
dispence
.
4.
The
Assumption
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
up
to
heaven
.
Enoch
alive
translated
walks
with
God
,
Walks
,
&
finds
yet
in
bliss
no
fix't
about
The
zealous
Thesbite
undissolv'd
ascends
,
And
at
Heav'n
gates
the
worlds

:
Death
's
the
sole
way
to
life
,
Maria

,
Closes
on
earth
,
open's
in
heav'n
her
eyes
.
5.
The
Coronation
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
in
Heaven
.
T
is
thy
Sons
light
Maria
makes
thee
shine
:
The
beam's
are
his
,
the
sole
reflection
thine
;
Bright
as
the
Moon
thou
look'st
for
borrow'd
rays
,
Both
tributarie

the
Prince
of

.
The
Sun

,
On

thy

distills

At

FOR
when

was
troubled

not
at

because
she
was
well
acquainted
with
Angelicall
visits
,
and
accustomed
to
these
like
visions
,
but
)
at
the
contents
of
his
message
,
(
which
trouble
was
only
a
certain
fear
,
apprehension
,
admiration
)
the

and
familiarly
calls
her
by
her
Name
,
and
comforts
her
,
saying
,
Fear
nothing
,
O
Mary

I
come
not
to
deceive
you
,
but
to
declare

Mysteries
unto
you
;
you
have
found
Grace
with
God
;
and
what
need
that
Soul
fear
(

which
is

friendship
.

)
and
the
Son
of
the

,
(
not

by

by

)
And
our

God
shall
give
him

of

circumstances
:
The
Holy
Ghost
shall
descend
upon
thee
,
and
the
vertu
of
the
most
High
shall
overshadow
thee
,
(

know
thou

hereby
receive
an
addition
to
thy
former
purity
.

4.
At
her
singular
Illustration
.
For
by
the
Inhabitation
of
the
Eternall
word
within
her
,
she
became
enlightned
both
in
soul
and
body
;
In
Soul
,
so
as
to
know
secrets
,
to
understand
sciences
,
to
foresee
things
to
come
,
as
appears
by
her
Propheticall
Magnificat
:
In
body
,
insomuch
as
her
externall
beauty
,
and
comliness
,
attested
Gods
inward
presence
:
and
we
may
piously
believe
(
with
St.
Bernard
)
that
no
one
,
no
not
her
husband
St.
Joseph
,
could
fixedly
behold
the
beames
of
her
shining
countenance
:
and
so
the
Gloss
understands
that
passage
of
St.
Matthews
Gospell
;
Joseph
knew
her
not
,
till
she
had
brought
forth
.
Hail
Mary

undertakes
this
long
journey
(
of
thirty
four
miles
(
says
Ludolphus
)
and
on

)
in
order
to
visit
her

congratulate
her

assist
her

Hail

For
though
the
way
was
long

mountainous

though
she
a
tender
Virgin
,
and
with
child
:
yet
neither
was
the
journey
irksome
,
nor
her
burden
cumbersom
,
nor
her
travail
wearysom
,
because
she
carried
him
,
who
supported
,
encourag'd
and
enabled
her
.
Hail

Blessed
art
thou
amongst
(
all

women

and
blessed
is
the
fruit
which
thou
bear'st
in
thy

Blessed

Stemm

the
Mother
with
the
Son
.

in
her
own
Person
;
Behold
a
Virgin
shall
conceive
,

bring
forth
a
Son
,
and
she
as
joyfully
knew
her self
to
be
the
Mother
of
God
,
according
to
St.
Elizabeths
expression
;
How
deserve
I
this
honour
,
that
the
Mother
of
my
Lord
should
vouchsafe
to
visit
me
?

Upon

most
loving

beloved
Virgin

bestow
a
visit
on
this
poor
house
and
heart
of
mine
.
Here
I
live
in
a
vale
of
teares
,
temptations
,
miseries
;
I
sojourn
amongst
continuall
dangers
,
I
dwell
in
darkness
,
and
the
shadow
of
death
;
and
my
being
in
this
world
is
like
that
of
a
child
in
his
Mothers
belly
,
expecting
with
fear
and
hope
to
be
born
into
the
bright-light
of
a
Blessed
Eternity
.
O
let
your
comfortable
visitation
,
and
your
Sons
grace-bringing
presence
disperse
my
inward
darkness
,
qualify
my
fearfullness
,
fortify
my
hope
and
confidence
,
and
give
me
a
sweet
Antipast
of
my
future
happiness
.
Come
then
,
O
most
charitable
and
most
compassionate
Virgin
!
My
good
Mother
,
my
gracious
mediatrix
,
my
only
Hope
next
to
your
holy
Son
Jesus
!
Come
,
and
cast
an
Eye
of
Pity
upon
your
poor
servant
:
Let
your
harmonious
voyce
resound
in
my
souls
eares
,
and
obtain
for
me
a
tast
of
your
Sons
goodness
,
that
I
may
henceforth
relish
nothing
but
himself
,
and
(
according
to
your
most
perfect
example
)
rejoyce
in
nothing
but
God
my
Saviour

Stable

Give

spirit

and
a
perfect
contempt
of
all
worldly
honours

O
sweet
Saviour
of

!
who
call'd
the
Kings
to
acknowledge
and
adore
you
in
your
Cradle
,
and
commanded
them
to
return
back
by
another
way

Call

my
rebellious
heart
unto
you
by
the
powerfull

your

shining
in
my

which
will
conduct
me
into
the
right
way
leading

home
;
out
of
which
I
have
hitherto
stray'd
by
my
own
wilfull
malice

O
my
glorious
new-born
King
Christ
Jesu
!
you
were
pleas'd
to
want
a
lodging
upon

that
you
might
lodge
me
in
Heaven

To
be
deprived

heap
on
me
your
Celestiall
comforts
;
To
embrace
Poverty

Humility

self-contempt
,
abnegation
,
annihilation
,
that
you
might
inrich
me
with
all
the
spirituall
Treasures
of
vertu

And
shall
I
gape
after
temporall
goods

glories
,
seek
for
fleshly
solaces
and
satisfactions
,
place
my
affection
upon
poor

perishable
trifles
?
No
my
dear
Redeemer
!
I
will
henceforth
endeavour
to
imitate
your
most
perfest
Example
.
And
O
that
I
were
sincerely
willing
to
abandon
all
,
truly
content
to
be
abandon'd
by
all
,
and
really
resolv'd
to
submit
my self

all

your
sacred
will

so
I
might
be
absolutely
conformable

my
All

All

O

O
happy
Mother

how
sweetly
is
my
Soul
ravish'd
in
the

of
that
unspeakable
joy

gladness
which
your
dilated
heart
felt
when
you
first
embrac'd
the
long

of
all
Nations
in
your
tender

?
I
congratulate
this
your
happiness

O
glorious
Mother

and
humbly
creeping

Angells

Kings
,
and
Shepheards

I
affectionately
present
you
with
these
my
meaner
Canticles
of
conjubilation
.
We
were
the
poor
,
banish'd
,
miserable
progeny
of
our
unfortunat
mother
Eve
:
we
were
the
wretched
Bond-slaves
of
sin
and
Satan
:
we
were
the
forlorn
,
lost
and
stray'd
sheep
wilfully
fled
away
from
our
faithfull
Shepheard
:
We
were
the
Prodigall
children
carryed
abroad
by
our
own
concupiscences
from
our
loving
Father
:
and
by
your
Sons
means
.
O
Blessed
,
and
most
fortunate
Mother
!
we
are
disingaged
,
deliverd
,
redeem'd
from
all
these
miseries
,
woes

to
fulfill
the
Law
of
Moyses

and
to
offer
up
her
Son

Eternall
Father
in
the
Temple

And
though
she
had
just
reason
to
dread
King
Herods
cruelty
,
yet
she
was
more
afraid
to
offend
the
divin
Majesty

The
way
(
says
Ludolphus
)
was
five
miles
long
;
yet
she
felt
not
the
least
weakness

nor
weariness

for
she
carryed
him
who
strengthn'd
her

and
afforded
her
a

aboundance
of
courage
and
comfort

At

entring
the
Temple

she
puts
her self
humbly
on

places
her

entirely
bequeathing
both
her self

the
Eternall
Father

Image

Take

Mother

Protection

your
divin
Majesty

upon
your
holy
Altar
,
this
new
oblation

this
God-man

great-little
Jesus

this
pure

precious
Sacrifice

who
will
hereafter
offer
up
himself
to
you
upon

Altar
of
the
Cross
,
a
more
perfect
and
worthy
Holocaust
for
the
World's
salvation

At
her
exemption
from
the
Law
of
Purification
.
FOr
though
she
punctually
performed
each
tittle
of
the
Mosaicall
Law
;
paying
five
sicles
of
silver
to
the
Priest
for
her
Sons
Redemption
,
and
a
paire
of
Turtles
,
or
yong
Pigeons
;
one
as
a
Holocaust
for
the
Infant
,
the
other
as
an
offring
for
sin

she
well
knew
(
to
her
unspeakable
joy
)
that
both
her self
,
and
her
Son
were
absolutely
free
from
any
such
Law
;
He
being
far
above
it
,
and
she
nothing
concern'd
in
it
.
Hail

5.
At
the
instruction
and
example
of
her
Sons
Humility
and
Obedience

FOr
by
this
Oblation
,
she
plainly
perceiv'd
that
her
Son
came
to
serve
,
and
not
to
be
served
;
to
fulfill
the
Law
,
not
to
infringe
it
;
to
do
,
as
well
as
to
teach
:
wherby
she
also
understood
her
own
duty
,
and
that
she
likewise
was
to
be
a
pattern
of
Humility
and
obedience
to
the
world
.

O
the
Jubiley
of
all
the
hearts
there
present
,
(
and
especially
of
the
sacred
Virgin-Mother
)
seeing
the
good
old
Prophet
,
so
devoutly
falling
prostrate
on
the
ground
,
so
faithfully
adoring
the
divin
Infant
,
so
ravishtly
taking
him
into
his
embraces
,
and
so
zealously
proclaiming
his
prayses
!
Hail
Mary
.
8.
At
the
Blessing
of
Simeon
.
FOr
applying
his
Propheticall
discourse
to
the
Blessed
Virgin
,
Behold
(
says
he
)
O
holy
Mother
of
Jesus
!
This
Son
of
yours
is
set
for
the
fall
and
rising
of
many
in
Israel
,
(
for
he
shall
be
the
ruin
of
the
wicked
,
and
the
reward
of
the
righteous
)
;
and
for
a
Sign
,
which
shall
be
contradicted
(
by
the
Jews
,
Gentills
,
Hereticks
,
half-Christians
)
;
yea
and
a
sword
of
sorrow
shall
also
pierce
your
own
Soul
,
(
so
great
shall
be
hereafter
your
compassion
,
at
the
sight
of
his
sufferings
)
.
Now
although
these
predictions
of
Simeon
were
in
themselv's
harsh
to
the
tender-mothers
senses
,
yet
they
were
joyfull
to
her
resign'd
soul
,
in
respect
of
the
ensuing
salvation
of
mankind
.

O
My
Lord
J●su
!
who
thus
mercifully
permitted
your self
to
be
seen
,
ador'd
,
embrac'd
by
your
faithfull
servant
Simeon
;
come
also
into
my
desirous
,
languishing
,
and
greedily
expecting
soul
.
Purge
,
and
perfect
it
,
O
pious
Redeemer
!
and
expell
from
thence
whatsoever
is
any
way
displeasing
to
your
divin
liking
.
Prepare
it
as
you
please
for
your
own
purpose
,
and
make
it
a
fit
temple
for
your self
to
inhabite
.
Give
leave
,
O
sweet
and
loving
Saviour
!
to
your
sincerely
affectionate
servant
,
to
embrace
you
in
my
Interiour
with
the
two
Armes
of
profound
Humility
and
perfect
Obedience
;
and
permit
me
not
to
depart
this
life
,
before
I
there
enjoy
your
happy
sight
and
presence
;
who
are
the
only
Fountain
of
true
light
and
love
,
the
only
desire
and
delight
of
my
heart
,
the
only
comfort
and
support
of
my
Pilgrimage
,
and
the
only
Hope
and
expectation
of
my
future
bliss
and
felicity
.
O
Dear
Virgin
Mother
!
I
dare
not
presume
to
decipher
the
numberless
affections
which
dilated
your
faithfull
heart
in
this
free
oblation
of
your self
and
your
son
in
the
Temple
!
O
when
shall
I
,
(
comformable
to
your
perfect
example
)
consecrate
my
whol
self
,
with
all
I
have
and
can
,
entirely
,
cheerfully
,
resignedly
to
the
divin
Majesty
?
My
Creators
Law
,
and
my
own
duty
oblidg'd
me
to
dedicate
unto
him
,
not
only
the
first
,
but
all
the
fruits
of
my
life
and
love
:
And
shall
I
not
bequeath
to
him
,
at
least
,
the
small
remainder
thereof
,
by
this
my
irrevocable
will
and
Testament
?
If
the
World
,
the
Flesh
,
and
the
Devill
have
gather'd
the
fairest
flowers
of
my
youth
,
and
manly
age
:
may
I
not
justly
be
asham'd
,
to
deny
Him
,
to
whom
all
was
due
,
at
least
the
leaves
,
which
shall
hereafter
fall
from
this
old
,
shaken
,
rotten
Tree
?
O
my
past
incivility
,
disloyalty
,
Ingratitude
!
O
my
present
confusion
and
self
condemnation
!
To
reserve
for
my
Soveraign
Creatour
,
the
last
,
and
worst
part
of
my
lives
Sacrifice
!
yet
,
since
such
is
your
divin
goodness
(
O
my
gracious
Lord
and
maker
!
)
as
not
to
disdain
the
meanest
offering
,
when
humbly
,
heartily
,
affectionatly
,
presented
to
your
sacred
Majesty
:
Accept
I
beseech
you
,
this
little
,
(
and
alas
!
too
long
delayd
)
Oblation
I
now
lay
upon
your
Altar
,
which
is
my
Will
to
obey
you
,
my
heart
to
love
you
,
and
my
life
to
serve
you
,
henceforth
for
all
succeeding

The
fifth
joyfull
Mysterie

[
And
Found
.
]
The
finding
of
Christ
in
the
Temple
disputing
amongst
the
Doctors
Luke
2.
In
Seas
of
joy
,
the
Virgins
breast
was
drownd
,
When
Jesus
lost
,
she
in
the
Temple
found
.
Our
Father
,
&c.
The
Blessed
Virgin-Mother
exceedingly
rejoyced
.
1.
At
the
sight
of
her
new-found
Son
.
FOr
when
the
child
Jesus
was
twelve
years
old
;
his
Parents
went
up
with
him
to
perform
their
Devotions
in
the
Temple
of
Jerusalem
,
where
they
lost
him
for
three
days
space
,
sought
him
up
and
down
with
many
tears
,
and
at
last
found
him
amongst
the
Doctors
.
O
the
Joy
of
their
hearts
at
this
happy
sight
!
For
the
sweetest
comforts
spring
from
precedent
sorrows
;
now
their
sorrows
were
proportionable
to
their
loss
;
and
consequently
their
Joy
was
correspondent
to
the
affection
they
bore
their
blessed
Son
,
first
possessed
,
then
lost
,
and
now
retriv'd
again
.
Hail
Mary
.
2.
At
the
Hearing
of
his
Learning
and
Wisdom
.
For
they
found
him
not
playing
,
idling
,
sleeping
;
but
discoursing
of
the
Law
,
disputing
with
the
Doctors
,
proposing
questions
to
the
Priests
,
and
resolving
their
difficulties
with
such
readiness
and
dexterity
,
that
all
the
Auditors
were
astonish't
at
so
ripe
an
understanding
in
such
tender
years
.
Hail
Mary
.
3.
At
the
fulfilling
of
that
Propheticall
saying
:
I
Wisedom
dwell
with
Counsell
,
and
am
present
amongst
learned
cogitations
:
WHich
passage
,
S.
Vincent
explicates
literally
of
this
prefence
of
our
Lord
JESUS
amongst
the
Priests
and
Doctors
.
Hail
Mary
.
4.
At
her
first
conference
with
him
after
She
had
found
him
.
WHen
with
heart
brim-full
of
Joy
,
She
brake
forth
into
these
expressions
:
O
my
dear
Son
!
Why
have
you
dealt
thus
with
us
?
(
not
making
me
,
your
so
tenderly
affectionat
Mother
acquainted
with
your
stay
:
)
which
was
no
rebuke
,
but
a
certain
loving
complaint
for
his
long
absence
;
Behold
your
(
Putative
)
Father
and
I
have
sought
you
out
with
sorrow
,
(
fearing
you
might
fall
into
the
hands
of
Archelaus
the
Son
of
Herod
,
and
Heir
of
his
cruelty
,
as
well
as
of
his
Kingdom
.
Hail
Mary
.
5.
At
his
Mysticall
Answer
unto
her
.
FOr
He
mildly
and
modestly
teply'd
:
And
why
(
O
Mother
!
)
did
you
(
so
carefully
)
seek
after
me
?
Know
you
not
,
that
I
must
be
about
my
(
heavenly
)
Fathers
business
?
(
whereof
one
part
is
to
instruct
the
ignorant
,
and
instill
into
their
hearts
the
hidden
Intelligence
of
his
Law
.
)
Hail
Mary
.
6.
At
the
Instruction
couched
in
his
reply
.
FOr
though
,
at
first
She
understood
him
not
,
by
reason
of
the
excess
of
Joy
,
in
having
found
him
,
yet
reflecting
afterwards
upon
his
words
,
She
well
perceiv'd
,
he
was
now
(
even
in
his
tender
age
)
setting
forward
that
great
work
of
mans
conversion
,
Redemption
,
Salvation
,
which
he
was
in
his
riper
age
to
compleat
and
perfect
.
Hail
Mary
.
7.
At
his
return
with
her
to
Nazareth
.
FOr
he
immediatly
leaving
the
Doctors
company
,
and
yeilding
to
his
Mothers
summons
;
went
down
with
his
Parents
to
their
dwelling-house
in
Nazareth
.
Hail
Mary
.
8.
At
his
humble
Obedience
and
Subjection
.
FOr
the
sacred
Gospell
tells
us
,
He
was
subject
unto
them
.
Hail
Mary
.
9.
At
the
consideration
of
her
own
happiness
,
dignity
and
excellency
.
TO
wit
,
That
He
should
become
thus
voluntarily
subject
to
her
command
;
to
whose
beck
,
both
her self
and
all
creatures
,
were
necessarily
subject
and
obedient
.
Hail
Mary
.
10.
At
the
delicious
conservation
of
all
his
words
and
actions
in
her
heart
.
FOr
so
the
sacred
Pen-man
of
the
holy
Ghost
informes
us
:
His
Mother
kept
all
these
sayings
,
conferring
them
in
her
heart
.
To
the
end
she
might
(
by
her
daily
and
diligent
study
,
reflection
,
and
meditation
)
,
dive
into
the
meaning
of
what
she
yet
understood
not
,
and
take
joy
and
comfort
in
what
she
understood
.
Hail
Mary
.
Glory
be
to
the
Father
,
and
to
the
Son

and
to
the
Holy
Ghost

These
Prayers
Angelicall
with
bended

Affections
,
Elevations
,
Petitions
.
O
Blessed
JESU
!
who
(
for
reasons
best
known
to
your
own
divin
Wisdom
,
and
all-disposing
providence
)
would
be
thus
lost
,
sought
,
and
found
by
your
Parents
in
Jerusalem
,
amongst
the
Doctors
in
the
Temple
:
Grant
that
I
may
never
lose
your
Grace
,
Favour
,
and
Friendship
,
by
following
my
own
irregular
appetites
,
passions
,
and
affections
,
by
yeilding
,
to
wordly
vanities
,
allurements
,
enchantments
;
by
consenting
to
Satans
suggestions
,
temptations
,
delusions
:
But
if
through
Ignorance
,
negligence
,
carelesness
,
or
any
other
motive
whatsoever
,
I
shall
unhappily
chance
to
be
depriv'd
of
your
sweet
presence
in
my
interiour
;
Excite
me
(
O
mercifull
Saviour
!
)
to
seek
you
out
diligently
,
speedily
,
mournfully
,
during
the
three
days
space
of
this
my
lives
Pilgrimage
,
by
perfect
Contrition
,
pure
Confession
,
entire
Satisfaction
;
that
so
I
may
at
last
joyfully
find
and
see
you
in
your
Celestiall
Jerusalem
;
sitting
on
your
Fathers
right
hand
,
amidst
your
Angels
and
Saints
,
in
the
Temple
of
your
Eternall
Glory
.
O
Jesu
!
The
rare
Patern
of
perfect
Obedience
,
Humility
,
and
all
vertues
!
you
are
the
All-powerfull
God
,
and
you
obey
poor
man
:
you
are
the
Soveraign
Creatour
,
and
you
submit
to
your
own
Creature
:
you
are
the
Supreme
Monarch
of
both
worlds
,
and
you
are
subject
to
your
Handmaid
Mary
!
And
shall
any
Christian
remain
any
longer
rebellious
,
refractory
,
disobedient
to
his
Parents
,
to
his
Superiors
,
or
to
any
other
just
authority
?
Be
asham'd
proud
dust
,
and
ashes
!
God
humbles
himself
,
and
wilt
thou
exalt
thy self
?
He
obeys
men
,
and
dost
thou
desire
to
domineer
over
them
?
Is
not
this
directly
to
prefer
thy self
before
thy
soveraign
Lord
and
Maker
?
But
o
sacred
Virgin
Mother
!
How
singular
is
your
Priviledge
?
To
have
him
subject
to
you
,
whom
all
human
and
Ang
licall
nature
reverences
and
adores
?
O
my
soul
!
Admire
both
;
and
make
choyce
of
which
thou
wilt
chiefly
admire
!
Either
the
Sons
stupendious
condescention
;
or
the
Mothers
excellent
dignity
:
Both
are
mervailous
,
both
miraculous
:
That
God
should
obey
a
Woman
,
is
a
Humility
beyond
all
Example
;
That
a
woman
should
command
God
,
is
a
Height
beyond
all
comparison
.
O
good
Jesu
How
doth
my
Soul
languish
,
when
I
have
lost
you
?
and
how
reproachfully
doth
my
conscience
cry
out
unto
me
,
Where
is
thy
God
?
And
yet
,
Alas
!
I
seek
you
not
with
due
sorrow
and
diligence
;
because
I
love
you
not
,
with
true
fervour
and
devotion
!
O
loving
Mother
of
Jesus
!
Had
I
the
least
spark
of
that
sincere
affection
you
bore
your
blessed
Son
;
How
sensible
should
I
be
of
my
sad
loss
?
How
seriously
should
I
seek
to
retrive
it
!
But
ah
my
misery
?
That
is
lost
without
much
grief
,
which
was
possess'd
without
any
great
joy
;
and
therfore
I
find
not
my
loss
,
because
I
feel
no
love
;
and
finally
I
feel
no
love
because
I
reflect
not
faithfully
upon
my
Redeemers
reall
worth
and
value
.
And
yet
,
what
is
there
considerable
,
or
desirable
in
Heauen
or
Earth
,
in
comparison
of
sweet
Jesus
?
O
my
Lord
,
my
love
,
my
lot
,
and
my
portion
for
time
and
Eternity
!
Dart
one
Efficacious
beam
of
your
divin
light
into
my
dull
,
dark
,
and
desolate
Soul
;
that
I
may
see
your
greatness
,
to
the
end
I
may
love
your
goodness
;
and
that
truly
loving
you
,
I
may
willingly
leave
all
to
look
after
you
;
contentedly
forfeit
all
to
find
you
;
and
having
found
you
,
I
may
be
more
faithfull
in
following
you
,
more
carefull
in
keeping
you
,
more
sincere
,
constant
,
perseverant
in
serving
and
obeying
you
.
Be
you
my
guid
(
O
most
glorious
Virgin-Mother
!
)
in
this
my
inquest
after
your
dear
Son
;
Following
your
footsteps
to
the
sacred
Temple
,
I
shall
find
him
by
your
favour
,
whom
I
have
lost
by
my
own
fault
;
And
having
once
found
him
;
O
let
me
never
more
loose
him
by
my
disloyaltie
;
that
living
here
,
and
dying
in
his
sweet
embraces
,
I
may
live
with
him
hereafter
,
and
enjoy
him
eternally
in
his
blessed
Kingdom
.
Amen
.
Then

Rosary

the
Profession

your
Faith

,
I
Believe

with

The
second
Part
of

Rosary

containing
the
Five
Dolorous
Mysteries

Begin
this
Part
of
the
Rosary
with
the
Prayer
,
sign
of
the
Cross

and
Creed
,
as
in
the
first
Part.
The
First
Dolorous
Mystery
,
[
He

THe
Agony
of
Christ
whilst
he
was
at
his
Prayers
in
the
Garden

Christ
in
the
Garden
pray's
,
his
anguish'd
Brest
Is
in
his
face
through
sweats
of
blood
exprest
.
As
in
the
Precedent
Joyfull
Mysteries
,
we
have
shew'd
that
those
five
principall
and
common
heads
,
comprehended
(
under
their
signall
notions
)
severall
particular
Joys
of
the
sacred
Virgin-Mother
;
so
each
one
of
these
five
generall
Dolorous
Mysteries
,
(
like
a
long
chain
made
up
of
many
links
)
includes
a
multitude
of
particularly
aggravating
circumstances
in
our
dear
Redeemers
Passion
,
and
his
holy
Mothers
compassion
:
which
Concatenation
of
sorrows
,
we
shall
endeavour
(
as
before
in
the
Cohesion
of
Joys
)
to
reduce
briefly
to
Ten
Heads
,
or
points
of
Contemplation
,
correspondent
to
the
respective
Decades
of
this
second
part
of
the
Rosary
.
Our
Father
,
&c.
Our
Blessed
Saviour
was
exceedingly
sad
and
sorrowfull
.
1.
At
the
apprehension
of
the
loss
of
his
corporall
life
.
FOr
if
Death
is
of
all
things
most
horrible
to
human
nature
,
it
was
surely
(
according
to
the
said
human
nature
)
much
more
horrible
to
him
,
than
to
any
other
;
because
his
life
was
of
greater
dignity
than
that
of
all
others
,
by
reason
of
its
conjunction
to
the
Divinity
.
Hail
Mary
.
2.
At
the
foresight
of
his
sufferings
.
FOr
his
understanding
clearly
comprehending
the
quality
and
quantity
of
his
approaching
pains
and
torments
;
And
his
souls
eyes
efficaciously
seeing
all
the
causes
of
fear
and
sadness
;
and
furthermore
,
he
permitting
(
say's
S.
John
Damascen
)
,
each
one
of
his
senses
and
Powers
to
act
according
to
its
own
naturall
propertie
;
it
must
needs
follow
,
that
as
his
knowledge
was
most
perfect
,
his
sufferings
were
most
excessive
.
Hail
Mary
.
3.
At
the
consideration
of
Sins
heynousness
.
FOr
he
came
to
suffer
for
all
the
offences
of
Mankind
in
generall
,
and
for
each
ones
sin
(
past
,
present
,
and
to
come
,
)
in
particular
.
O
the
anguish
of
his
soul
,
at
the
sight
of
their
multitude
and
malice
!
Hail
Mary
.
4.
At
the
Iewes
Ingratitude
.
FOr
besides
his
particular
Benefits
showr'd
down
from
time
to
time
upon
that
perverse
people
,
he
had
now
borrow'd
his
humanity
from
their
Blood
,
conversed
many
years
amongst
them
,
preached
his
Gospell
unto
them
,
wrought
infinit
Miracles
before
them
;
And
that
they
after
all
this
,
should
so
inhumanly
,
unnaturally
,
ungratefully
,
condemn
,
kill
,
and
crucify
him
,
was
surely
a
corrosive
more
bitter
to
his
afflicted
heart
,
than
death
it self
.
Hail
Mary
.
5.
At
the
little
profit
,
which
Christians
would
reap
from
his
Passion
.
FOr
though
the
least
drop
of
his
precious
Blood
,
was
abundantly
sufficient
to
redeem
,
not
only
all
men
,
but
many
worlds
:
yet
he
well
knew
how
few
would
make
themselves
partakers
of
the
fruits
thereof
:
And
this
foreseen
sloth
,
negligence
,
and
wilfull
ingratitude
of
Christians
,
(
if
we
will
credit
S.
Bernard
,
Bonaventure
,
and
Hugo
,
)
more
afflicted
our
dear
Redeemer
,
than
all
the
corporall
calamities
he
endur'd
on
the
Cross
for
them
.
Hail
Mary
.
6.
At
the
Treason
of
Judas
.
FOr
that
a
Servant
should
betray
his
Master
;
a
Disciple
,
his
Lord
;
an
Apostle
,
his
Saviour
:
And
this
by
a
fraudulent
Kiss
,
(
the
sign
of
peace
,
friendship
,
and
affection
)
;
are
circumstances
(
says
S.
Ambrose
)
much
aggravating
our
Redeemers
sorrow
.

At

Scandall

O
the
Affliction
of
his
tender
heart
!
To
see
Them
whom
he
lov'd
so
sincerely
;
Them
,
whom
he
had
serv'd
so
diligently
;
Them
,
whom
he
had
so
lately
comforted
and
confirmed
by
his
long
Sermon
,
and
so
earnestly
commended
to
his
Fathers
care
and
custody
:
Them
,
whom
he
had
from
time
to
time
fed
so
efficaciously
with
his
sacred
Doctrin
,
and
feasted
so
deliciously
with
this
Blessed
Body
and
Blood
in
the
very
last
nights
Banquet
;
to
fly
now
fearfully
from
him
;
to
be
scandaliz'd
at
him
,
and
to
seem
to
doubt
of
his
Divinity
:
And
above
all
to
see
Peters
Ingratitude
,
Infidelity
,
Pusillanimity
:
did
surely
pierce
his
Soul
with
inexplicable
sorrow
.

beating

You
(
O
meek

receiv'd

you
permitted

came

Embrace

O
my
Soul
!
what
are
thy
thoughts
at
the
sight
of
thy
sweet
Saviour
thus
suffering
for
thy
sake
?
Behold
,
He
is
fad
for
thee
,
even
unto
death
,
and
dost
thou
rejoyce
in
sinfull
delights
?
He
lies
with
his
body
prostrate
on
the
ground
,
and
snortest
thou
on
thy
downy
bed
,
wallowing
in
thy
sensuality
?
He
is
bath'd
in
tears
of
blood
,
sighing
,
sweating
lamenting
for
thy
wickedness
:
and
wilt
not
thou
shed
one
tear
,
send
forth
one
sigh
,
nor
give
one
groan
in
token
of
thy
true
sorrow
for
thy
own
grievous
offences
?
O
his
love
!
and
O
thy
insensibility
?
thou
shalt
one
day
sadly
sigh
,
sweat
,
weep
,
lament
,
(
O
thou
obdurate
Core
of
mine
!
)
when
,
alas
!
it
will
prove
too
late
,
if
thou
now
presumptuously
delay'st
it
.
Wherefore
(
O
my
God!
)
look
upon
me
even
now
at
this
very
instant
,
returning
,
repenting
lamenting
all
my
former
ingratitude
,
disloyaltie
,
impietie
:
and
whil'st
you
behold
my
misery
,
cast
also
an
eye
upon
your
dear
Son
Jesus
,
to
move
you
to
mercy
.
Look
(
O
compassionate
Father
!
)
upon
the
face
of
your
Christ
,
not
now
out-vying
the
Suns
Splendor
upon
Mount
-
Thabor
,
yet
still
the
self-same
object
of
your
eternall
Complacency
;
See
his
Garments
,
not
now
white
as
Snow
,
yet
still
representing
the
Robe
of
your
beloved
Joseph
.
There
he
appear'd
in
Glory
;
Here
sadly
prostrate
on
the
ground
;
There
he
was
elevated
with
honour
;
Here
he
lyes
bleeding
,
sweating
,
languishing
with
sorrow
:
yet
both
here
and
there
;
He
is
your
Son
,
and
my
Saviour
,
and
every
where
the
powerfull
motive
of
your
mercy
towards
poor
Mankind
.
And
you
[
O
sacred
Virgin
!
]
the
most
accomplish'd
of
all
women
,
and
the
most
compassionate
of
all
Mothers
!
look
also
upon
your
beloved
Son
not
now
white
and
ruddy
,
the
chosen
of
thousands
and
the
most
beautifull
amongst
the
Sons
of
men
:
but
all
pale
and
wan
with
weeping
,
all
discoloured
with
blood
and
sweat
,
and
every
way
the
most
afflicted
of
all
creatures
!
O
what
thought
can
comprehend
the
resentment
of
your
tender
heart
,
condoling
with
your
so
dearly
beloved
,
and
so
deeply
distressed
Son
Jesus
!
And
thou
,
[
O
my
soul
!
]
what
dost
thou
?
what
say'st
thou
?
what
resolv'st
thou
?
contemplating
these
sad
objects
of
the
here
lamenting
Mother
,
and
the
there
languishing
Son
?
Thou
,
who
art
the
cause
of
her
anguish
,
and
of
his
Agony
:
wilt
thou
still
[
by
thy
sinfull
obstinacy
]
sleight
the
Sons
blood
,
and
the
Mothers
tears
?
No
my
dear
Mother
!
no
my
sweet
Saviour
!
I
here
in
your
presence
protest
the
contrary
:
and
for
the
love
,
respect
,
and
honour
I
ow
unto
you
both
,
I
absolutely
renounce
all
sin
and
impiety
,
and
whatsoever
is
displeasing
to
your
holy
wills
and
likings

O
Innocent

Lamb
of
God!
who
wert
mercifully
pleas'd
to
suffer
these
multitudes
of
shames
and
sorrows
;
to
be
thus
hurried
from
Tribunall
to
Tribunall
;
thus
treacherously
betrayd
,
maliciously
accus'd
,
unjustly
condemn'd
,
and
rudely
scourg'd
even
for
my
sake
,
I
most
humbly
beseech
you
,
by
all
the
fountains
of
blood
issuing
from
your
sacred
Body
,
to
give
me
a
lively
apprehension
of
sins
heynousness
;
that
so
I
may
perfectly
hate
the
cause
of
your
sufferings
,
and
perfectly
love
you
for
your
sufferings
.
What
am
I
,
Dear
Redeemer
!
that
you
,
the
Eternall
Son
of
God
should
endure
one
stripe
for
me
?
But
O
the
excess
of
your
affection
!
And
shall
I
by
new
crimes
abuse
so
signall
a
favour
,
despise
so
miraculous
a
mercy
,
provoke
so
great
a
goodness
,
incense
so
immense
a
clemency
,
and
inflict
fresh
wounds
upon
Gods
Son
,
by
my
continued
wickedness
?
Tell
me
,
O
my
soul
!
dost
thou
truly
believe
,
that
thy
sweet
Saviour
suffer'd
all
this
for
thy
sake
?
That
he
was
stripp'd
naked
,
to
cover
thy
crimes
?
fastned
to
a
pillar
,
to
loose
the
fetters
of
thy
bondage
?
Whipp'd
with
cruell
rodds
,
to
secure
thee
from
the
scourges
of
his
Fathers
severe
Justice
?
all
over
beaten
,
bruis'd
,
and
worried
,
to
cure
the
wounds
of
thy
soul
?
Believest
thou
all
this
,
and
hast
thou
no
sense
of
compassion
,
no
feeling
of
compunction
,
no
resolution
of
correcting
thy
life
,
cancelling
thy
sin
,
converting
thy self
to
his
love
and
service
;
who
,
for
these
very
ends
and
intentions
underwent
all
these
wofull
torments
?
O
meek
Jesu
!
seeing
you
thus
patiently
bearing
all
sorts
of
abuses
,
shall
I
storm
at
the
least
offer'd
injury
?
O
Son
of
God!
seeing
you
stripp'd
naked
in
the
sight
of
your
Enemies
;
shall
I
be
asham'd
to
discover
my
faults
before
a
Priest
?
O
sweet
Saviour
!
seeing
your
whol
Body
torn
with
whips
,
and
your
flesh
turn'd
into
as
many
open
mouths
,
as
it
had
wounds
,
to
proclaim
the
love
you
bear
me
;
shall
not
I
open
my
mouth
to
manifest
your
Mercy
,
to
admire
your
goodness
,
to
adore
your
bounty
,
to
acknowledg
my
obligation
,
to
testify
my
compassion
,
to
renounce
my
impiety
?
And
since
you
,
O
my
dear
Redeemer
!
Spilt
all
your
blood
for
me
!
shall
not
I
shed
one
tear
for
my self
and
you
?
You
(
O
charitable
Samaritan
!
)
permitted
your
tender
skin
to
be
torn
from
off
your
back
and
shoulders
with
cruell
scourges
,
to
serve
as
swathes
,
wherewith
to
bind
up
my
ulcers
.
You
were
content
(
O
pious
Pelican
!
)
to
have
the
blood
drain'd
out
of
your
veines
,
to
make
therewith
a
precious
balsum
of
oyl
and
wine
,
for
the
efficacious
cure
of
my
wounds
;
and
shall
I
yet
ly
dead
and
buried
in
the
sepulcher
of
sin
and
Impenitencie
?
You
weep
tears
of
blood
over
my
dead
corps
,
and
cry
out
aloud
unto
my
soul
with
as
many
Tongues
,
as
you
endured
Torments
:
N.
Come
forth
of
thy
grave
!
And
I
cry
out
to
you
(
Dear
Jesu
!
)
the
Abysmus
of
misery
,
calls
upon
the
Abysmus
of
mercy
!
O
when
shall
I
be
led
out
of
this
loathsom
sepulcher
!
when
shall
this
head-kercher
of
evill
customs
,
sinfull
habitudes
,
vicious
inclinations
be
unty'd
and
taken
off
from
my
eyes
and
face
,
which
hinder
my
desired
sight
and
enjoyment
of
you
my
dear
Saviour
!
Behold
I
appear
upon
your
summons
;
but
yet
bound
hand
and
foot
,
and
in
quality
of
a
guilty
Criminall
before
you
my
God
and
my
Judg
:
I
come
creeping
,
as
a
poor
prodigall
child
,
and
ready
to
perish
,
to
you
my
pious
Father
.
I
cast
my self
at
your
sacred
feet
with
tears
in
my
eyes
,
contrition
in
my
heart
,
and
Confession
in
my
mouth
,
as
a
Penitent
Magdalen
:
O
compassionate
Saviour
!
unbind
and
absolve
your
guilty
Criminall
:
Receive
and
embrace
your
fearfull
Prodigall
:
Comfort
and
pardon
your
Penitent
Magdalen
:
Apply
to
me
one
small
drop
of
your
sacred
blood
,
and
I
shall
be
cured
:
Speak
only
the
word
(

and
my

shall
be
saved

His

with
pungent
thorns
.
And
made
the
subject
of
ten
thousand
scorns
.
Our
Father
,
&c.
Our
blessed
Saviour
was
evceedingly
tormented
.
1.
At
the
pressing
of
the
sharp-pointed
thorns
into
his
sacred
Head
.
FOr
Pilat
having
call'd
him
in
derision
The
King
of
the
Jews
:
the
Soldiers
,
(
at
their
instigation
)
twisted
thorny
brakes
into
the
shape
of
a
Crown
,
boysterously
placing
it
upon
his
bare
head
;
and
violently
pressing
it
into
his
skull
,
to
encrease
his
misery
,
and
make
him
a
more
ridiculous
object
of
all
mens
mockery
.
Hail
Mary
.
2.
At
the
pulling
it
off
and
on
.
WHich
was
done
both
upon
a
pretence
of
fitting
it
to
his
head
,
and
also
to
augment
his
torments
.
Hail
Mary
.
3.
At
his
cloathing
with
Purple
:
FOr
they
sportingly
invented
all
manner
of
tricks
,
to
please
their
fancies
,
glut
their
malice
,
and
aggravate
his
miseries
:
Not
content
therefore
to
have
Crown'd
him
;
they
would
also
cloath
him
as
a
counterfeit
King
:
and
so
rashing
off
his
garments
,
which
were
now
glu'd
to
his
body
with
the
former
goares
of
blood
,
they
scornfully
cast
a
despicable
Purple-cloak
over
his
naked
shoulders
,
which
was
a
colour
us'd
by
the
ancient
Kings
.
Hail
Mary
.
4.
At
the
holding
a
Reed
in
his
right
hand
.
THis
was
intended
as
a
mock
-
Scepter
,
being
(
after
the
Crown
and
purple
)
the
third
Royall
Ensign
.
Hail

At
the

Genuflexions
,
Adorations
.
ANd
the
like
feigned
Actions
of
Religion
and
worship
,
whereby
the
Soldiers
and
Jews
maliciously
derided
him
,
as
blasphemously
usurping
the
title
of
the
divinity
.
Hail
Mary
.
6.
At
the
spitting
in
his
face
.
WHich
amongst
the
Jews
,
was
held
the
greatest
contempt
,
injury
,
and
disgrace
could
be
put
upon
any
person
:
For
as
spittle
is
a
superfluous
matter
,
whereof
the
Mouth
endeavors
to
be
discharg'd
;
so
they
reputed
our
Blessed
Redeemer
,
no
better
than
a
base
despicable
wretch
,
and
a
thing
worthy
to
be
cast
out
from
amongst
the
people
.
Hail
Mary
.
7.
At
the
smiting
His
head
with
the
Reed
.
WHereby
the
prickles
of
the
thorny
Crown
,
were
driven
deeper
and
deeper
into
his
wounded
skull
;
and
the
Blood
forc'd
out
of
the
new
open'd
furrows
,
trickled
down
a
fresh
upon
his
neck
and
forehead
,
which
embodying
with
the
beastly
spittle
,
wherewith
they
were
before
besmeared
,
chang'd
our
Redeemers
sweet
countenance
,
(
which
the
Angells
admiringly
contemplate
)
into
an
object
of
horror
,
and
into
the
likeness
of
a
Leper
,
most
loathsom
to
be
look'd
upon
.
Hail
Mary
.
8.
At
the
iterated
and
multipli'd
blow's
,
boxes
,
and
buffetings
.
O
Barbarous
cruelty
!
Was
't
not
enough
to
cane
his
head
,
but
you
must
cuff
his
cheeks
:
His
face
and
flesh
is
already
one
continued
tumour
by
your
former
stripes
;
the
colour
of
his
skin
is
already
metamorphoz'd
into
blackness
and
blueness
by
your
former
beatings
:
And
have
you
the
hearts
(
hard-hearted
wretches
!
)
to
add
yet
more
blows
to
blows
,
more
torments
to
torments
?
O
meek
Lamb
of
God!
How
great
is
my
malice
,
which
is
the
cause
of
all
these
your
miseries
?
Hail
Mary
.
9.
At
his
being
shew'd
to
the
people
in
such
a
posture
.
IEsus
came
forth
(
says
the
Gospell
)
carrying
a
Crown
of
Thorns
,
and
a
purple
garment
:
and
Pilate
spake
to
them
.
Behold
the
Man
,
O
prodigious
spectacle
!
O
Jesu
,
King
of
Glory
!
what
a
Crown
,
what
a
Garment
,
what
a
Scepter
do
you
here
shew
for
your
royall
Ensignes
.
Hail
Mary

10.
At
the
Iew
's
horrid
clamors
and
repeated
vociferations

OF
,
away
with
him
,
away
with
him
,
crucify
him
,
crucify
him
:
nothing
but
his
death
can
satisfie
their
implacable
malice
;
O
harsh
words
!
yet
you
sustain'd
them
,
[
sweet
Saviour
!
]
to
free
me
from
the
harsh
sentence
of
eternall
death
and
damnation
.
Hail

These

.
O
Jesu
!
the
beauty
of
Men
and
Angels
!
the
glory
of
Heaven
and
Earth
!
when
I
behold
your
venerable
head
crown'd
with
cruell
thorns
,
your
amiable
face
besmear'd
with
the
mixture
of
tear's
blood
,
and
spittle
:
your
whol
Body
mangled
with
whips
and
scourges
,
and
all
this
for
my
sake
:
can
I
choose
but
loath
my self
for
my
sins
,
and
love
you
for
your
sufferings
?
O
my
soul
!
what
dost
thou
in
token
of
thy
gratefull
acknowledgment
for
thy
Saviours
great
charity
,
thus
crown'd
,
wounded
,
mangled
,
martyr'd
,
for
the
expiation
of
thy
sins
,
and
procurement
of
thy
Salvation
?
Canst
thou
see
thy
Redeemer
doing
so
much
for
thee
and
not
be
asham'd
to
do
so
little
for
thy self
and
him
,
and
to
live
so
unconformably
to
his
example
,
which
should
be
the
modell
and
pattern
of
thy
life
and
actions
?
Is
it
decent
for
a
member
to
addict
it self
to
sinfull
vanities
,
pleasures
,
and
sensualities
,
under
a
head
crown'd
with
thorns
?
O
what
an
excess
,
or
rather
an
abuse
of
love
and
sorrow
,
do
I
here
contemplate
?
Love
is
mistaken
in
making
choyce
of
so
amiable
and
honourable
a
person
,
to
be
the
object
of
undeserv'd
derision
and
torments
:
and
sorrow
is
as
much
mistaken
,
in
not
seizing
upon
some
odious
and
abominable
wretch
,
who
might
have
justly
deserv'd
to
be
so
dealt
withall
.
'T
is
I
,
alas
!
't
is
I
,
who
deserve
to
be
thus
despis'd
,
tormented
,
crown'd
with
cruell
thorns
,
and
every
way
punish'd
,
persecuted
,
afflicted
:
since
't
is
I
that
have
by
my
heynous
Crimes
betray'd
my
Creators
cause
,
incurr'd
his
indignation
,
and
willfully
forfeited
all
my
claim
,
and
pretention
to
the
Kingdom
which
he
had
mercifully
prepar'd
for
me
.
I
deserve
to
wear
no
worthyer
a
Crown
upon
my
wicked
head
,
than
one
gather'd
from
the
Tree
of
Malediction
,
plaited
together
with
perpetuall
woes
,
and
interlac'd
with
the
sharp
prickles
of
all
sorts
of
punishments
,
miseries
,
and
torments
.
Such
a
Crown
is
according
to
my
deserts
,
O
dear
Jesu
!
I
most
heartily
acknowledg
it
,
most
humbly
confess
it
,
and
most
obediently
submit
to
it
.
But
since
you
are
evermore
ready
(
O
compassionate
Redeemer
!
)
to
Crown
a
truly
contrite
,
converted
,
and
penitent
soul
with
your
favours
and
benefits
;
bow
down
your
blessed
Head
(
I
beseech
you
)
towards
me
your
unworthy
servant
,
and
according
to
your
wonted
mercy
,
bestow
on
me
some
effect
of
your
tender
affection
.
Behold
,
O
my
most
loving
,
and
most
beloved
Lord
Jesu
!
my
soul
being
pierc'd
with
a
lively
sense
of
your
severe
sufferings
for
her
sake
,
and
desirous
to
conform
her self
,
(
O
that
she
could
do
it
perfectly
!
)
to
you
her
most
perfect
Saviour
,
makes
here
a
deliberate
choyce
of
this
Crown
of
sufferance
in
this
world
,
thereby
to
obtain
the
Crown
of
Justice
,
which
is
the
only
means
to
purchase
the
Crown
of
Grace
,
and
lastly
to
attain
to
a
Crown
of
Glory
,
which
she
hopefully
expects
from
your
goodness
in
your
heavenly
Kingdom
.
A
Prayer

In

of

,
whereby
we
are
delivered
from
the
severe
punishments
of
eternall
death

which
our

have
justly
deserv'd
:
Thou
art

thou
art

strength
of
weaklings

thou
recoverest
our
lost
Crowns
for
us

that

renewing
the
memory
of
your

Sons
Passion

and
humbly
reverencing
his
holy
Crown
of
Thorns

Christ
our

painfully
carries
his
Cross
to
Mount
Calvary
,
John
19.
Of
shame
and
dolour
to
increase
th'
account
,
They
make
Christ
bear
his
Cross
up
to
the
Mount
.
Our
Father
,
&c.
Our
blessed
Saviour
was
exceedingly
aggriev'd
,
1.
At
the
Jews
new
invented
accusation
.
FOr
they
perceiving
the
unwillingness
of
Pilate
to
condemn
the
innocent
Jesus
,
produc'd
their
last
envious
Stratagem
to
strik
him
dead
.
This
man
(
say
they
)
hath
made
himself
Gods
Son
,
and
therefore
deserves
to
be
destroy'd
as
a
blasphemer
of
the
divin
Majesty
,
which
they
so
vehemently
urge
,
and
so
maliciously
aggravate
against
him
,
till
at
last
they
force
the
fearfull
President
by
their
threats
and
clamors
to
give
way
to
their
unjust
desires
.
Hail
Mary
.
2.
At
the
pronunciation
of
Deaths
cruell
sentence
upon
him
.
FOr
when
the
Judg
saw
that
neither
pity
would
move
them
,
nor
justice
could
prevail
with
them
:
apprehensive
of
Cesars
indignation
,
and
of
the
peoples
disfavour
,
he
sentences
Jesus
to
dy
on
a
Cross
;
O
how
easily
doth
he
swerve
from
Justice
,
who
seeks
not
Gods
honour
,
but
is
sway'd
by
human
respects
in
his
actions
?
Hail
Mary
.
3.
At
his
contumelious
leading
out
of
Ierusalem
.
FOr
the
cruell
sentence
was
no
sooner
spoken
,
but
the
greedy
hang-men
flock
about
this
meek
lamb
,
fastning
cords
to
his
neck
and
hands
,
and
tugging
him
[
as
a
Traytor
Blasphemer

notorious
Malefactor

out
of
the
Town
towards
the
place
of
Execution

At
his
association
with
Thieves
.
THey
had
already
prefer'd
Barrabas
the
murderer
before
him
,
and
now
they
place
him
in
the
Thieves
company
,
that
so
the
ignorant
people
might
conceive
him
to
be
a
complice
in
their
Crimes
.
Hail
Mary

5.
At
the
carrying
of
his
own
Cross
on
his
shoulders
.
O
Unheard
of
proceedings
!
It
was
never
known
that
any
wicked
criminall
was
constrain'd
to
carry
his
own
Gallows
,
but
only
the
good
Jesus
;
O
Saviour
,
the
true
Isaac

you
bear
the
wood
on

back

and
the
fire
in
your
heart

to
be
immolated
for
me
upon
Mount
Calvarie

6.
At
the
oppressing
weight
of
the
heavy
Cross

WHich
was
fifteen
foot
long
,
[
say
severall
holy
Doctors

of
a

thickness
proportionable
to

spurning
him

8.
At
the
doleful
lamentation
of
the
devout
women
.
WHich
were
those
who
had
faithfully
serv'd
him
before
his
Passion
,
charitably
sustain'd
him
and
his
Disciples
with
their
temporall
faculties

painfully
follow'd
him
from
Galilee
into
Judea

now
mournfully
waited
on

sorrowfull
Mother

WHo
undoubtedly

O
Jesu
my
dear
Redeemer
!
are
you
not
equall
in
omnipotency
to
your
eternall
Father
?
How
then
do
I
see
you
panting
,
fainting
falling
down
through
feebleness
?
Are
not
you
the
supporting
strength
of
this
spacious
Universe
?
did
not
your
power
extend
the
Firmament
[
encircling
therewithall
the
celestiall
Orb
's
,
and
fix
the
Earth
upon
the
point
of
its
own
upholding
center
?
How
then
do
I
now
behold
you
lying
prostrate
under
the
oppressing
weight
of
this
one
single
burthen
?
O
my
Saviour
you
promise
to
lend
men
your
helping
hand
,
and
send
them
the
assistance
of
your
Angells
,
to
keep
them
from
all
harms
in
their
fallings
,
and
your self
falls
here
under
your
heavy
Cross
without
admitting
any
succour
from
your
own
divin
Person
,
from
your
Angells
,
or
from
Men
,
in
this
your
extream
necessity
?
O
my
soul
!
how
heynous
are
thy
sins
;
which
ly
so
heavily
upon
thy
Saviours
shoulders
?
And
O
my
proud
&
perverse
spirit
!
which
refusest
to
submit
thy
stubborn
neck
to
the
sweet
weight
,
and
light
burthen
of
God
and
his
Church
!
Didst
thou
ever
seriously
contemplate
thy
Redeemer
Christ
Iesus
,
groaning
for
thee
under
the
burthen
of
his
Cross
?
How
then
dost
thou
still
continue
thy
disobedience
,
ingratitude
,
impietie
?
Or
didst
thou
ever
take
into
thy
serious
consideration
thine
own
[
perchance
nearly
approaching
]
passage
out
of
this
World
to
an
eternity
?
How
then
dost
thou
not
apprehend
what
a
heavy
weight
will
oppress
thy
wicked
heart
at
that
dreadfull
hour
,
and
how
thou
wilt
be
beaten
down
under
the
burthen
of
thy
sins
?
And
alas
!
who
will
then
assist
thee
,
when
thy
angry
Creator
shall
thunder
his
just
judgments
upon
thy
head
,
which
like
formidable
waves
,
wil
overflow
and
drown
thy
frail
vesell
?
What
succour
canst
thou
expect
when
a
sad
dispair
seizing
upon
thee
thou
shalt
vainly
desire
to
ly
cover'd
in
some
cranny
of
the
Rocks
,
or
to
hide
thy
head
in
some
hole
of
the
Mountains
,
or
to
be
deep
buryed
in
some
Dungeon
within
the
Earths
bowels
?
Who
will
then
lend
thee
a
charitable
hand
in
this
thy
extream
calamity
?
or
what
can
comfort
a
conscience
thus
cauteriz'd
,
crucify'd
,
oppress'd
with
so
many
crimes
crying
out
against
themselves
for
vengance
?
O
my
soul
?
Let
's
not
remit
our
conversion
to
that
dismall
hour
,
but
let
's
now
efficaciously
do
,
what
we
shall
then
fruitlesly
desire
to
have
done
.
Le●…
in
the
first
place
discharge
our
conscience
of
its
deadly
crimes
,
whilst
time
and
opportunity
afford
us
leave
and
leasure
;
Then
let
's
away
with
all
these
fardles
of
ill-gotten
Goods
;
cancell
all
unlawfull
,
usurarie
,
extortionous
contracts
:
cut
off
all
our
sinfull
customs
,
concupiscences
,
sensualities
;
and
finally
shake
off
the
two
long
carryed
,
and
over-heavily
charging
yoake
of
the
World
,
the
Flesh
,
and
the
Devill
;
This
done
,
let
's
cheerfully
receive
the
Cross
of
Penance
,
and
mortification
from
the
sacred
hands
of
suffering
Jesus
.
He
carries
it
before
us
,
to
encourage
us
to
follow
him
:
his
is
weighty
,
to
make
ours
light
and
easie
,
he
fall
under
his
,
that
we
may
stand
fast
under
ours
,
and
we
shall
neither
want
strength
nor
comfort
in
this
our
heroick
enterprise
of
vertu
and
piety
,
if
we
frequently
cast
our
faithfull
eyes
upon
our
valiant
Captain
marching
before
us
towards
Mount
Calvarie
,
with
his
royall
Standard
on

1.
At
the
pulling
off
of
his
Garments
.
FOr
when
(
by
the
help
of
a
certain
poor
fellow
call'd
Simon
)
he
had
train'd
his
heavy
Cross
to
Golgotha
,
His
Executioners
tear
off
his
cloathes
,
together
with
his
skin
and
flesh
,
to
which
they
were
in
severall
parts
(
in
a
manner
)
fast
glued
,
with
the
Blood
flowing
out
of
his
wounds
.
Hail
Mary
.
2.
At
his
there
standing
again
naked
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Spectators
.
TO
be
hang'd
up
naked
,
was
the
greatest
disgrace
they
could
put
upon
the
most
despicable
person
,
and
don
only
to
the
worst
sort
of
Malefactors
.
Hail
Mary
.
3.
At
the
boysterous
stretching
out
of
his
body
on
the
Cross
.
WHich
they
rack'd
with
such
vio●ence
by
the
help
of
ropes
ty'd
to
his
wrists
and
ankles
,
that
according
to
the
Royall
Prophets
prediction
,
all
his
dislocated
Bones
might
have
been
numbred
.
Hail
Mary
.
4.
At
the
Piercing
of
his
hands
and
feet
with
nayls
.
O
Christ
,
my
Rock
!
out
of
these
sacred
holes
I
may
suck
hony
,
draw
forth
oyl
,
and
fully
tast
the
sweetness
of
your
affection
.
Hail
Mary
.
5.
At
the
Erection
of
the
Cross
,
with
Iesus
upon
it
.
TO
publish
his
Crucifixion
,
and
shew
him
to
all
the
greedily
expecting
people
.
What
faithfull
Christian
will
not
be
now
rays'd
to
hopes
of
obtaining
pardon
;
When
he
considers
his
Redeemers
arms
thus
extended
to
embrace
him
,
and
his
hands
thus
open'd
to
bestow
benefits
upon
him
.
Hail

6.
At
the
superscription
of
the
Title
;
of
Iesus
of
Nazareth
,
King
of
the
Iews
.
WHich
was
written
in
a
threefold
language
,
that
no
one
might
be
ignorant
of
the
cause
of
this
his
cruell
usage
;
but
that
all
might
conclude
,
He
was
justly
crucifi'd
,
who
had
unjustly
usurp'd
a
Kings
title
.
Hail
Mary
.
7.
At
their
continued
calumnies
,
whilst
he
hung
on
the
Cross
.
O
Princes
and
People
!
How
implacable
was
your
hatred
,
how
great
your
malice
,
how
insatiable
your
fury
;
which
could
not
forbear
your
abuses
in
his
last
Agony
?
But
he
endur'd
your
peevishness
,
and
kept
his
own
patience
;
and
though
he
descended
not
now
from
the
Cross
,
he
soon
after
arose
from
the
Sepulcher
.
Hail
Mary
.
8.
At
the
sight
of
his
compassionate
Mother
,
standing
by
his
Cross
.
O
Sorrowfull
Mother
!
you
see
the
Innocent
Son
of
your
chast
womb
,
wounded
,
and
cannot
cure
him
,
weltring
in
blood
,
and
cannot
wipe
it
off
,
inclining
,
and
hanging
down
his
weak
and
wearied
head
,
and
cannot
uphold
it
;
&c.
What
tongue
can
express
the
compassion
of
your
tender
heart
,
at
the
sight
of
these
your
Sons
afflictions
!
Or
the
grief
of
his
tender
heart
at
the
sight
of
his
thus
afflicted
Mother
!
Hail
Mary
.
9.
At
his
Thirst
upon
the
Cross
.
GReat
surely
was
the
naturall
thirst
of
his
Body
,
which
was
almost
exhausted
,
and
drained
dry
of
all
his
blood
and
moysture
:
But
far
greater
was
his
Souls
spirituall
thirst
for
the
salvation
of
Mankind
.
What
do
you
thirst
after
(
O
dear
Redeemer
!
)
(
says
S.
Augustin
.
)
wine
of
the
grape
,
or
water
of
the
River
?
your
thirst
,
is
my
salvation
;
your
drink
,
my
Redemption
!
Be
thou
also
thirsty
(
O
my
dry
Soul
!
)
and
drink
thy
fill
of
that
blessed
Fountain
,
which
thirsts
thus
after
thee
.
Hail
Mary
.
10.
At
his
giving
up
the
Ghost
,
and
expiration
on
the
Cross
.
JESUS
bowing
down
his
head
,
breath'd
out
his
soul
,
and
deliver'd
up
his
spirit
(
freely
,
voluntarily
,
unconstrainedly
,
)
into
the
hands
of
his
eternall
Father
.
And
so
compleated
and
consummated
,
the
penall
and
afflictive
part
of
the
great
Mystery
of
mans
Redemption
.
Hail
Mary
.
Glory
be
to
the
Father
,
and
to
the
Son
,
&c.
These
prayers

,
&c.
Affections
,
Elevations
,
Petitions
.
O
My
Soul
!
would'st
thou
know
where
thou
mayst
assuredly
find
thy
sweet
Saviour
Jesus
,
the
desired
object
of
thy
dearest
affections
?
It
is
upon
Mount
Calvary
.
There
he
feeds
upon
Gall
and
Vineger
:
There
is
his
habitation
,
upon
the
hard
Cross
:
There
he
reposes
,
with
extended
leggs
,
and
stretched
forth
Arms
,
to
have
his
feet
and
hands
pierced
with
horrid
nayls
.
There
and
thus
,
he
expects
thy
return
from
far
,
O
prodigall
child
!
ready
to
embrace
thee
with
a
Fatherly
affection
.
And
dost
thou
see
thy
sweet
Saviour
hanging
thus
on
the
Cross
for
thy
sake
;
and
yet
solacest
thy self
in
sinfull
delights
?
remainest
still
wallowing
in
the
mudd
and
myre
of
thy
wicked
customs
?
and
not
content
thy self
to
commit
sin
,
and
give
scandall
to
others
by
thy
bad
example
;
teachest
them
lessons
of
malice
,
to
draw
them
to
thy
unjust
desires
,
and
their
own
utter
damnation
?
O
sinful
wretch
!
Return
(
now
at
least
)
into
thy self
,
turn
to
thy
sweet
Saviour
,
and
run
into
the
open'd
arms
and
bosom
of
thy
beloved
Jesus
,
calling
thee
,
alluring
thee
,
ready
to
receive
thee
.
He
cry's
out
to
thee
from
his
Cross
,
I
thirst
after
thy
conversion
,
correction
,
salvation
.
He
cry's
aloud
to
awake
thee
,
excite
thee
,
hasten
thee
,
to
accept
of
his
proffer'd
love
,
before
he
renders
up
his
life
.
O
when
will
the
time
come
,
in
which
they
who
are
buried
in
the
Sepulchers
of
deadly
sin
;
and
ly
rotting
in
the
graves
of
their
inveterate
crimes
,
will
hear
the
voyce
of
God's
Son
;
and
hearing
it
,
will
return
to
the
life
of
grace
;
if
not
at
this
present
,
when
he
himself
dyes
to
resuscitate
them
?
When
will
earthly
souls
,
full
of
terrestriall
affection
,
fear
and
tremble
;
if
they
now
remain
unmoveable
?
when
will
the
Rocks
of
stony
hearts
be
rent
asunder
with
sorrow
;
if
they
are
now
insensible
?
When
(
O
my
soul
!
)
will
the
veil
of
thy
vicious
conscience
be
corn
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
by
a
true
confession
of
thy
secret
sins
;
if
shame
,
and
cowardise
keeps
it
now
cover'd
,
when
Jesus
hangs
naked
on
his
Cross
?
When
will
the
Sun
of
thy
Pride
and
vanity
be
obscured
;
if
it
now
shines
,
when
the
glorious
Sun
of
Justice
shuts
his
eyes
,
and
becomes
totally
eclypsed
?
O
Jesu
!
you
call
me
;
And
it
is
high
time
for
me
to
answer
to
your
summons
:
you
incline
your
sacred
head
towards
me
,
to
give
me
a
kiss
of
Peace
,
and
to
whisper
in
the
ears
of
my
heart
and
Soul
:
Behold
I
dy
for
thee
;
I
dy
willingly
for
thee
,
I
dy
purely
for
the
love
of
thee
:
And
O
my
heart
and
Soul
!
What
answer
do
you
make
?
O
my
Jesu
!
my
sweet
Saviour
,
my
dear
Redeemer
,
my
soverarign
Lord
and
Lover
!
you
dy
,
and
do
I
yet
live
?
O
that
I
,
who
have
hitherto
liv'd
so
little
for
you
,
and
so
long
for
the
world
:
That
I
who
have
liv'd
so
long
without
you
in
negligence
,
forgetfulness
,
ingratitude
;
That
I
,
who
have
liv'd
so
long
against
you
in
sin
,
Impiety
,
rebellion
:
That
I
who
have
employ'd
so
small
a
portion
of
the
time
and
talents
you
lent
me
,
faithfully
,
and
sincerely
in
your
love
and
service
!
O
that
I
might
(
now
at
least
)
dy
for
you
,
and
with
you
.
Or
,
if
your
providence
will
have
my
Pilgrimage
yet
prolong'd
;
O
Let
me
not
live
hereafter
one
moment
,
but
only
for
you
;
and
let
me
rather
lose
my
life
,
than
your
Love
;
that
living
and
dying
,
I
may
be
entirely
yours
for
all
succeeding
time
and
Eternity
.
Amen
.

These

many
particular
points
of
contemplation
;

(
according

our
precedent

we

absolutly
glorious
from

first
instant
of
his
Conception

receiv'd
now
any

of
glory
:
but
that
the
Miracle

which
retain'd
his
souls
Glory

from
redounding

did
now
cease
upon

The
Jews

who

Why
do
you
grieve
and
mourn
,
O
glorious
Mother
of
Jesus
!
your
Son
lives
,
triumphs
,
reigns
.
He
that
was
lately
accounted
the
out-cast
of
the
people
,
is
now
the
most
happy
of
all
mankind
.
He
that

,

,
and

,
appears
now
cloathed
with
Clarity
,
Agilitie
,
Subtility
,
Impassibilitie

Behold
the
Man
;
look
up
,
O
Blessed
Mary
,
upon
your
beloved
Jesus
;
the
lively
Image
of
the
Eternall
Father
,
the
beauty
and
brightness
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
the
Crown
and
ornament
of
Men
and
Angells
!
Lo
,
He
here
presents
himself
unto
you
,
to
wipe
all
tears
from
your
eyes
,
and
disperse
all
sorrows
from
your
heart
:
Hear
him
speaking
unto
you
in
his
wonted
tone
and
tearms
of
respect
:
All
Hail
,
my
most
honoured
Mother
!
Peace
and
joy
be
with
you
:
'T
is
I
my self
who
am
the
comfortable
Messenger
of
this
happy
exchange
of
yours
and
my
sorrows
into
gladness
and
Jubilation
;
both
,
that
you
may
with
me
incessantly
prayse
and
bless
my
Eternall
Father
;
and
also
,
that
you
may
take
the
first
and
best
share
of
joy
,
who
have
the
greatest
interest
in
me
,
and
had
the
greatest
part
with
me
in
my
passion
of
any
mortall
creature
.
See
and
admire
the
power
of
the
Almightyes
right
hand
,
in
the
person
of
your
Son
:
The
disgrac'd
is
glorifi'd
;
the
defam'd
is
justifi'd
;
the
condemn'd
is
absolv'd
,
the
crucifi'd
is
resuscitated
!
Rejoyce
then
,
dear
Mother
!
together
with
you
joyfull
Son
;
for
whom
you
need
not
now
fear
any
further
miseries
,
persecutions
,
Crosses
;
since
he
is
above
the
reach
of
mans
malice
,
and
the
Devils
power
,
having
put
on
the
robes
of
glory
,
impassibility
,
immortality
.
The
short
Winter
of
suffering
is
turn'd
into
a
perpetuall
Summer
of
consolation
;
The
stormy
showers
of
blood
,
into
a
sweet
dew
of
blessings
:
All
my
wounds
are
perfectly
cur'd
,
and
the
scarrs
only
remain
,
as
Rubies
of
my
honour
,
and
badges
of
my
victory
.
O
the
excesses
of
Joy
,
which
transported
your
extasi'd
heart
and
soul
,
O
sacred
Virgin-Mother
!
at
the
sight
of
your
now
again
living
,
and
gloriously
triumphing
Son
Jesus
!
And
,
O
my
soul
!
If
thou
desirest
a
share
in
these
Joys
and
gloryes
of
Jesus
and
Mary
;
thou
must
also
resolve
to
bear
a
part
in
their
sorrows
and
sufferings
:
Thou
art
much
mistaken
,
in
thinking
to
triumph
without
trying
for
the
Victory
,
or
to
be
crown'd
without
conquering
.
No
,
my
delicate
Soldier
!
Christ
thy
King
and
Captain
suffer'd
before
he
entred
into
his
glory
:
Queen
Maries
heart
was
pierced
with
sorrow
,
before
it
was
replenish'd
with
comforts
.
All
the
Saints
combated
,
before
they
were
crown'd
:
And
refusest
thou
all
sufferings
,
all
sorrows
,
all
combates
,
all
that
thy
flesh
and
blood
cannot
relish
?
O
dear
Jesu
!
What
will
you
do
with
me
,
who
dare
not
encounter
with
the
least
difficulties
?
How
will
you
deal
with
me
,
who
bear
the
name
of
a
Christian
soldier
,
and
am
indeed
no
better
than
a
base
and
cowardly
sensualist
?
If
I
love
the
glory
of
your
Crown
,
why
dislike
I
the
ignominie
of
your
Cross
?
If
I
desire
the
reward
of
a
Conqueror
;
why
do
I
not
adventure
into
the
field
of
the
combat
?
O
why
should
your
painfull
death
and
passion
so
much
affright
me
;
since
your
glorious
Resurrection
confirms
me
in
the
Hope
and
Faith
of
a
future
felicity
?
why
should
I
more
dread
,
in
reflecting
upon
the
difficulties
occurring
in
my
Pilgrimage
:
than
rejoyce
,
in
fixing
my
thoughts
upon
the
pleasures
of
Paradise
,
which
is
the
end
of
my
Pilgrimage
?
O
why
am
I
not
content
to
suffer
with
Jesus
and
for
Jesus
,
were
there
no
reward
to
be
expected
for
all
my
sufferings
!
It
being
a
sufficient
glory
to
a
faithfull
Christian
,
to
be
conformable
to
Christ
his
Captain
.
Behold
therefore
:
I
humbly
prostrate
my self
here
at
your
sacred
feet
,
O
my
victorious
Redeemer
!
imploring
your
pardon
for
my
past
pusillanimity
,
and
purposing
to
behave
my self
hereafter
more
manfully
.
Come
all
sorts
of
crosses
and
losses
;
all
sorrows
and
sicknesses
,
all
punishments
and
persecutions
,
all
derelictions
and
desclations
:
I
will
no
more
be
daunted
or
dismay'd
;
but
animated
by
your
example
,
and
assisted
by
your
grace
(
O
Christ
my
King
,
my
Captain
,
my
glorious
Conqueror
!
)
I
will
either
pass
through
them
couragiously
,
or
pass
by
them
patiently
,
or
pass
over
them
victoriously
.
Yes
,
(
my
Lord
Jesu
!
)
I
will
receive
henceforth
all
afflictions
from
the
hands
of
your
divin
providence
,
as
pledges
of
your
paternall
affection
;
and
most
willingly
,
joyfully
,
resignedly
embrace
them
,
as
the
happily
offered
occasions
for
the
encrease
of
my
merit
,
the
exercise
of
my
vertu
,
the
perfection
of
my
soul
,
the
expiation
of
my
sins
,
the
crowning
me
with
glory
.

O
My
glorious
Lord
Jesu
!
It
is
just
,
that
you
should
Ascend
to
the
Highest
Heaven
,
who
descended
to
the
center
of
the
earth
!
And
that
you
should
be
exalted
above
all
Angells
,
since
you
humbled
your self
under
all
men
.
O
my
Soul
!
design'd
for
an
Eternity
!
where
wilt
thou
ground
thy
feet
,
that
thou
mayst
securely
take
thy
flight
towards
Heaven
,
thy
happy
home
,
the
finall
end
of
thy
Pilgrimage
,
and
the
only
aim
of
all
thy
endeavours
?
Look
upon
Christ
thy
Captain
,
and
learn
by
his
most
perfect
example
to
ground
thy self
in
Humility
;
and
to
content
thy self
with
crosses
,
contempt
,
and
poverty
,
which
were
his
three
individuall
companions
,
during
the
whol
time
of
his
earthly
Pilgrimage
.
O
Jesu
!
the
amiable
Object
of
all
my
affections
!
And
who
should
be
the
absolute
pattern
of
all
my
actions
?
I
am
resolv'd
to
leave
all
for
the
love
of
you
,
and
to
forsake
all
,
that
I
may
freely
follow
you
;
For
alas
!
what
are
all
worldly
pleasures
greatnesses
,
and
glories
?
or
what
sweet
Object
can
the
whol
Universe
shew
my
eyes
,
which
can
fully
satisfie
my
heart
?
And
ha
!
why
then
should
I
any
longer
(
miserable
and
ill
advised
wretch
that
I
am
!
)
let
my self
be
surpriz'd
with
the
false
lustre
of
earthly
vanities
?
why
should
I
fix
my
love
upon
fond
toyes
and
trifles
,
which
only
fool
my
senses
,
but
fill
not
my
soul
!
No
my
soul
!
let
's
now
at
last
leave
the
Earth
,
and
look
up
to
Heaven
.
Thither
Christ
is
ascended
:
There
our
Treasure
is
plac'd
,
and
let
our
affection
be
there
also
fixed
:
and
O
what
shall
hinder
us
?
a
moment
of
brutish
pleasure
?
a
grain
of
self-interest
?
a
sparkle
of
soon
fading
glory
?
O
meer
Nothings
and
,
less
than
Nothings
!
No
my
good
Jesu
!
I
feel
my self
[
by
the
secret
impulse
of
your
inacting
grace
in
my
spirit
]
so
forcibly
mov'd
to
sent
you
,
to
obey
you
,
and
to
bestow
on
you
the
whol
remainder
of
my
life
and
love
,
that
if
it
should
hereafter
happen
;
[
and
ah
my
frailtie
!
how
can
I
trust
thee
,
which
hast
so
often
betray'd
my
best
intentions
,
and
broken
my
strongest
resolutions
]
If
therefore
it
shall
fall
out
,
that
my
eyes
[
or
any
respect
of
this
Worlds
most
pleasing
Objects
]
hinder
me
from
seeing
your
beauty
,
contemplating
your
bounty
,

reflecting
upon
your
mercy
:
Tear
them
out
of
my
head
,
that
I
may
behold
you
with
my
spiritual
Eyes
;
O
Iesu
the
true
light
of
my
soul
!
]
without
disturbance
or
distraction
.
If
my
right
hand
(
or
any
thing
I
possess
,
or
which
is
as
near
to
my
heart
,
as
my
arm
is
to
my
hand
)
becomes
the
occasion
of
my
offending
you
,
hinders
me
from
fast
holding
you
,
diverts
me
from
serving
you
diligently
,
devoutly
,
and
according
to
my
obligation
and
duty
;
Cut
it
off
(
O
Jesu
my
soveraign
Good
,
my
sole
Riches
and
Treasure
!
)
that
I
may
clip
you
,
embrace
you
,

be
inseparably
united
to
you

O
Glorious
Creator
!
How
great
is
your
Mercy
!
how
infinit
your
liberalitie
?
How
excessive
your
affection
,
to
undeserving
and
ungratefull
Mankind
.
After
your
only
Son
was
so
ill
treated
amongst
us
,
would
you
also
send
down
the
Holy
Ghost
unto
us
?
It
plainly
appears
that
we
have
a
potent
Advocate
in
Heaven
(
Jesus
Christ
the
just
)
to
plead
our
cause
,
and
a
Powerfull
Mother
upon
Earth
(
Mary
the
Mother
of
Jesus
)
to
impetrate
for
us
this
extraordinary
favour
:
It
is
therefore
the
Mothers
merit
,
and
the
Sons
Mercy
,
and
the
Eternal
Fathers
liberalitie
,
and
the
Holy
Ghosts
goodness
,
that
this
holy
Spirit
descends
from
Heaven
upon
us
;
A
Spirit
of
life
and
love
;
a
Spirit
of
solace
and
sweetness
;
a
Spirit
of
grace
and
happiness
;
a
Spirit
which
comes
in
form
of
fiery
tongues
,
to
clear
our
understandings
with
his
light
,
to
inflame
our
wills
with
his
heat
,
and
to
govern
our
tongues
and
affections
with
his
gracious
direction
;
A
light
which
dazels
not
,
a
fire
which
consumes
not
,
a
tongue
which
threatens
not
,
accuses
not
,
condemns
not
.
O
sacred
and
divin
Spirit
!
you
are
the
Father
of
the
afflicted
,
the
Distributer
of
graces
,
the
enlightner
of
hearts
,
the
comforter
of
Souls
;
and
alas
!
how
opposite
are
my
actions
to
your
properties
,
perfections
,
inspirations
?
You
descend
to
instill
into
me
the
spirit
of
sweetness
,
meekness
,
patience
:
and
I
converse
with
such
as
are
under
my
charge
[
and
with
others
who
are
perchance
far
better
before
you
than
my self
]
with
a
spirit
of
choller
and
peevishness
,
with
a
spirit
of
rigour
and
harshness
,
with
a
spirit
of
revenge
and
bitterness
!
Ah
,
uncharitable
wretch
that
I
am
!
shall
I
contristate
my
neighbour
,
instead
of
comforting
him
?
shall
I
exact
from
others
instead
of
conferring
benefits
upon
them
?
shall
I
under-value
my
brethrens
actions
,
censure
their
intentions
,
obscure
their
reputations
,
instead
of
putting
a
charitable
construction
upon
all
things
whatsoever
?
Change
this
my
crooked
and
crabbed
disposition
,
[
O
powerfull
Spirit
,
th●
plentifull
bestower
of
all
perfect
gifts
!
]
by
the
efficacy
of
your
sacred
influence
upon
my
soul
:
purge
me
[
I
beseech
you
]
from
my
present
imperfections
,
pardon
me
for
my
past
impieties
,
and
prevent
me
from
future
fallings
,
by
implanting
your
spirit
of
true
peace
and
charity
in
my
interiour
,
which
may
keep
my
heart
evermore
burning
in
the
love
of
you
and
my
neighbour
,
till
I
come
to
be
totally
absorpt
in
you

[
together
with
the
coequall
Son

The

heart
was

great
joy

1.
At
the
news
of
the
near
approaching
dissolution
of
her
soul
and
body
.
FOr
(
as
the
holy
Doctors
deliver
unto
us
)
after
the
dispersion
of
the
Apostles
into
the
Worlds
severall
quarters
to
preach
the
Gospell
:
the
blessed
Virgin
retir'd
her
felf
into
a
privat
dwelling
,
near
adjoyning
to
Mount
Sion
,
that
she
might
pass
the
remaining
day
's
of
her
Pilgrimage
upon
earth
,
in
the
devout
contemplation
of
her
divin
Sons
actions
,
and
the
frequent
visitation
of
the
holy
places
of
his
Baptism
,
Fasting
,
Passion
,
Buriall
,
Resurrection
,
Ascention
,
when
behold
(
at
the
time
appointed
by
the
eternall
providence
)
a
heavenly
Messenger
,
(
probably
the
Arch-Angell
Gabriel
)
reverently
saluting
her
in
her
Sons
name
,
informs
her
of
her
near
approaching
departure
out
of
this
life
.
Hail
Mary

2.
At
the
securitie
of
he●
Glorious
and
speedy
Resurrection
.
FOr
(
as
Albertus
and
all
the
Doctors
agree
)
she
could
not
possibly
doubt
of
her
present
and
immediate
Translation
to
Eternall
happiness
.
Hail
Mary
.
3.
At
her
dying
without
any
dread
terrour
,
or
trouble
.
FOr
how
could
She
fear
death
,
who
was
so
fervent
in
Charity
,
as
that
she
desired
nothing
more
than
to
be
dissolved
,
and
to
be
with
Christ
?
How
could
She
be
terrifi'd
at
Deaths
approach
who
was
absolutely
free
from
all
sin
and
impiety
?
Or
,
how
could
She
be
troubled
at
the
apprehension
of
Gods
severe
Judgments
,
who
was
secure
of
her
salvation
?
4.
At
the
presence
of
the
Apostles
at
her
departure
.
FOr
it
is
a
generally
receiv'd
Tradition
of
the
Fathers
;
That
all
the
Apostles
were
(
by
divin
instinct
)
sodainly
gather'd
together
from
the
worlds
severall
climats
,
to
honour
her
with
their
personall
presence
,
at
this
time
of
her
earthly
dissolution
.
Hail
Mary
.
5.
At
the
sweet
separation
of
her
Soul
a●…
Body
.
FOr
(
say's
S.
Hierom
)
as
She
was
free
from
the
corruption
of
the
flesh
;
so
she
was
exempt
from
the
calamities
of
Death
:
And
S.
John
Damascen
:
The
pain
's
which
she
suffer'd
not
in
childing
and
dying
;
She
payd
at
the
time
of
Christs
Passion
.
Hail
Mary
.
6.
At
the
Ioyfull
Re-union
of
her
Soul
and
Body
in
her
Resuscitation
and
Assumption
into
Heaven
.
FOr
(
according
to
S.
Augustin
)
;
There
was
no
reason
,
corruption
should
seize
on
her
after
death
,
whose
integrity
was
preserv'd
in
her
life
,
&c.
but
't
was
fit
,
she
should
be
always
living
,
who
was
the
Parent
of
all
life
;
and
that
she
should
be
always
with
him
,
who
(
for
nine
months
space
)
was
with
her
in
her
womb
,
&c.
Hail
Mary

7.
At
Christ's
meeting
her
accompanyed
with
the
Heavenly
Citizens
.
WHo
can
conceive
(
say's
S.
Hierom
)
how
gloriously
the
world's
Queen
this
day
appeared
?
with
what
affection
the
celestiall
legions
met
her
?
with
what
melodious
Canticles
she
was
conducted
to
her
throne
of
glory
?
with
what
an
amiable
and
pleasing
countenance
her
dear
Son
receiv'd
her
into
his
divin
embraces
,
and
plac'd
her
above
all
other
creatures

&c.
Hail
Mary

8.
At

exalted
above
all
the
Quire●
of
Angells

9.
At
her
being
placed
on
her
Sons
right
hand
.
FOr
(
as
S.
Hierom
says
)
we
may
piously
believe
,
that
our
Saviour
seated
her
next
to
himself
in
the
throne
of
his
glorious
Humanity
:
How
els
had
he
accomplish'd
,
what
himself
commanded
:
Honour
thy
Father
and
Mother
.
Hail
Mary
.
10.
At
her
being
appointed
the
powerfull
Advocatrix
of
mankind
.
WE
have
Her
to
plead
for
us
(
says
S.
Bernard
)
who
can
suffer
no
repulse
,
because
she
found
grace
with
God
:
Let
us
therefore
seek
Grace
,
from
the
Fountain
of
Grace
,
by
the
Finder
of
Grace
:
and
whatsoever
we
offer
to
the
divin
Majesty
,
Let
us
commend
it
to
Mary
;
that
so
all
may
return
to
the
Author
of
Grace
,
by
the
same
channell
,
whereby
it
ran
unto
us
.
Hail

your

is
not
forc'd
out
of
your

by
the
violence

,
but
sweetly
leaves
it

in
an

O

upon
confidence
of
laying
up
therby
more
solid
pleasures
in

O
King
of
Glory
!
How
great
is
your
bounty
,
and
how
excessive
is
your
liberality
?
You
confer
upon
men
whol
Torrents
of
pleasurs
,
and
full
Oceans
of
delights
,
for
their
Cups
of
cold
water
;
given
for
your
sake
!
You
bestow
on
them
magnificent
Crowns
and
blessed
Kingdoms
for
their
morsells
of
bread
,
bestow'd
upon
their
necessitous
brethren
.
And
shall
we
question
,
whether
your
own
dear
Mother
,
(
whose
pure
Blood
gave
your
Body
its
Being
;
in
whose
chast
entralls
you
so
long
lodged
;
upon
whose
Breast-milk
you
so
sweetly
fed
)
is
now
highly
rewarded
by
you
in
heaven
?
She
cloath'd
you
(
O
word
Eternall
and
Incarnate
!
)
with
the
robes
of
her
Humanity
;
and
can
we
doubt
but
that
you
have
vested
her
with
the
light
of
your
Heavenly
glory
,
and
crown'd
her
with
the
glittering
Jewells
of
Wisdom
,
Power
,
Dominion
,
and
whatsoever
may
beseem
the
Soveraign
Empress
of
Men
and
Angells
?
O
Virgin
!
O
Mother
!
How
great
is
your
Glory
?
How
singular
your
Honor
?
How
Eminent
your
Dignity
?
Since
you
are
the
Mother
of
Grace
,
which
is
God
himself
,
you
are
seated
on
the
right
hand
of
God
himself
in
his
Glory
!
Since
you
have
the
advantagious
quality
(
above
all
creatures
)
of
being
Gods
Mother
;
you
surely
have
an
advantagious
Crown
(
above
all
Creatures
)
which
constitutes
you
Queen
of
Heaven
.
For
,
to
what
Woman
(
besides
your
happyest
self
)
;
Or
to
which
of
the
Angells
,
(
howsoever
high
,
holy
,
and
perfect
)
did
euer
God
say
,
you
are
my
Mother
,
you
begot
me
,
bore
me
,
brought
me
forth
?
O
Mother
of
God!
O
Title
of
Titles
!
O
words
few
in
number
,
but
full
of
numberless
Mysteries
and
miracles
!
O
Quality
,
containing
all
the
Abyssall
perfections
,
which
can
possibly
fall
within
the
compass
of
Mens
and
Angells
Imagination
,
thinking
upon
a
pure
creature
.
!
Mother
of
God!
Be
you
praysed
,
honoured
,
and
admired
,
(
next
to
your
Son
Jesus
)
by
all
Creatures
in
Heaven
and
Earth
for
evermore
.
You
have
sufficiently
shew'd
me
(
O
sacred
Mother
!
)
by
your
divin
example
,
the
ready
way
to
reall
glory
and
happiness
;
Which
is
,
To
prefer
Gods
honour
,
love
,
and
service
,
before
all
things
els
whatsoever
:
But
,
alas
!
How
Poorly
have
I
hitherto
practis'd
your
instructions
;
and
how
ill
have
I
imitated
your
examples
?
Your
continuall
Exercise
was
to
magnifie
the
Divin
Majesty
with
heart
and
mouth
;
and
therefore
you
have
deserv'd
to
be
blessed
,
prays'd
,
and
proclaim'd
happie
by
all
succeeding
generations
:
because
the
Almighty
wrought
great
things
in
you
;
placing
you
upon
the
worlds
Theater
,
as
the
Prime
work
of
his
hands
,
and
the
most
accomplish'd
pattern
of
all
created
perfections
:
But
I
,
on
the
contrary
have
made
small
account
of
God
,
and
his
service
;
and
how
then
can
I
expect
to
obtain
the
blessing
of
him
&
others
;
or
hope
he
should
effect
great
things
in
me
,
by
me
,
for
me
.
Yet
if
he
and
all
others
call
me
not
blessed
,
in
the
last
great
Judgment
day
,
I
must
remain
accursed
for
all
Eternity
.
And
if
he
work
not
great
things
in
me
,
what
can
all
other
things
avail
me
in
order
to
my
happiness
?
Ha!
How
long
then
shall
my
affection
be
fastned
to
falshoods
,
follies
,
vanities
?
How
long
shall
my
soul
be
enslav'd
to
these
sordid
passions
,
and
to
the
base
customs
of
my
corrupted
nature
,
which
are
repugnant
to
Reason
,
contrary
to
my
Creators
Law
,
opposite
to
his
profer'd
grace
,
destructive
of
my
expected
glory
?
O
my
Lord
,
and
my
God!
I
will
no
longer
forget
you
:
I
will
even
now
begin
to
praise
you
,
with
heart
and
mouth
in
all
,
before
all
,
above
all
:
your
only
love
,
honour
,
and
service
,
shall
be
the
first
in
my
esteem
;
the
first
in
my
affections
;
the
first
in
my
actions
:
For
alas
!
what
els
have
I
to
esteem
,
desire
,
love
,
in
Heaven
and
Earth
;
but
you
the
God
of
my
heart
,
my
soveraign
good
,
my
All
for
time
and
Eternity
?
And
thou
,
my
poor
Soul
!
Take
courage
;
Eternity
draws
on
:
Thy
glorious
Mother
,
(
with
millions
of
blessed
Saints
and
Angells
,
more
beautifull
than
so
many
Suns
in
the
mid-day
of
their
brightness
)
invites
thee
to
be
(
with
her
)
satiated
with
her
Sons
amiable
countenance
,
and
absorp'd
in
the
boundless
Sea
of
his
beatifying
delights
:
Thy
beloved
Lord
himself
expects
thee
with
a
Crown
of
evelasting
rewards
in
his
right
hand
,
and
with
these
sweetly
alluring
words
in
his
sacred
mouth
:
Come
my
Love
,
my
Dove
,
my
Fair
one
,
come
thou
shalt
be
crown'd
,
for
having
serv'd
me
faithfully
,
lov'd
me
fervently
,
suffer'd
for
me
freely
,
and
accomplish'd
my
will
fully
:
Live
henceforth
with
me
eternally
in
Satiety
,
and
security

THE
FIRST
APPENDIX
JESVS
,
Or
the
Confraternity
of
the
most
sacred
Name
of
JESUS
,
With
Elevations
sutable
thereunto
.
IN
so
much
as
there
is
a
certain
pious
Fraternity
of
the
most
holy
Name
of
Jesus
,
which
had
its
first
rise
and
origin
from
that
of
the
sacred
Rosary
(
Et
ex
illa
tanquam
ex
Matre
filia
prognata
sit
)
being
(
as
it
were
)
the
Daughter
of
that
Mother
;
and
to
which
it
is
so
firmly
fastned
,
and
so
neerly
allied
,
as
that
generally
(
in
Catholique
Countreys
)
all
they
who
are
children
of
the
Blessed
Mothers
Rosary
,
are
also
thus
Members
of
the
Son's
Society
:
It
will
not
be
amiss
,
after
this
large
Declaration
of
the
Rosary
,
to
annect
a
brief
description
of
this
Confraternity
,
that
so
nothing
may
be
wanting
,
which
may
conduce
to
the
devotion
of
faithfull
Christians
,
and
enrich
them
with
spirituall
Benefits
.
This
pious
Confraternity
of
the
sacred
Name
of
Jesus
was
begun
in
Italy
by
Didacus
a
Victoria
,
a
Doctor
of
Divinity
,
and
devout
Preacher
of
S.
Dominicks
order
in
the
year
1564.
and
soon
after
promulgated
throughout
Spain
,
by
Joannes
Micon
,
who
was
another
learned
Doctor
,
and
zealous
Preacher
of
the
same
Order
,
the
Disciple
of
that
Blessed
and
famous
man
Ludovicus
Bertrandus
.
The
Reason
and
End
of
the
Institution
thereof
,
was
to
extirpate
that
execrable
(
and
then
Customary
)
vice
of
Swearing
by
Gods
holy
Name
,
and
blaspheming
the
divin
Majesty
.
The
Rules
of
this
Confraternity
are
these
.
1.
They
who
desire
to
be
of
it
are
either
to
have
their
Names
enrolled
into
a
Book
provided
for
that
purpose
(
as
it
is
said
of
the
Rosary
:
)
or
to
be
admitted
into
this
Confraternity
,
(
by
such
as
have
power
from
the
Superiors
of
Saint
Dominick's
Order
)
by
some
other
legall
,
lawfull
,
and
formall
way
.
2.

with
all
possible
care
and
diligence
to
avoid
swearing
not
only
in
themselv's
,
but
also
in
all
others
:
admonishing
,
checking
,
and
correcting
(
as
far
as
the
Rules
of
Charity
and
Discretion
will
permit
)
all
such

A
brief
Declaration
of
the
Crown
of
our
Lord
.
THe
devotion
call'd
the
Crown
of
our
Lord
,
Or
the
Rosary
of
the
age
of
Christ
,
or
the
Crown
of
Camaldula
,
was
invented
by
one
blessed
Michael
,
by
birth
a
Florentin
,
by
profession
a
Monk
of
Camaldula
(
a
man
of
admirable
piety
and
sanctity
)
who
chang'd
this
life
for
a
happy
immortality
in
the
year
1522
,
since
which
time
this
manner
of
prayer
hath
been
far
and
near
propagated
throughout
the
whol
World
,
with
the
Churches
generall
applause
and
approbation
,
and
to
the
great
profit
and
comfort
of
all
faithfull
Christians
.
The
Tenor
of
the
Brief
of
Pope
Leo
the
10th
.
(
as
far
forth
as
it
concerns
the
confirmation
and
declares
the
form
of
reciting
this
sacred
Crown
)
is

Bishop

the

of

servants
,
to
all
a●d
singular
the
faithfull
people
of
Christ
,
to
whom
these
his
letters
shall
come
,
sends
greeting
,
and
the
Apostolical
Benediction
.
We
have
lately
had
notice
from
persons
worthy
of
belief
,
that
a
certain
antient
Hermit
of
the
sacred
Wilderness
of
Camaldula
,
having
already
finish'd
fifteen
years
of
his
earthly
Pilgrimage
in
great
austerity
,
as
a
Recluse
shut
up
within
the
narrow
limits
of
one
only
Cell
:
Hath
conceiv'd
(
by
divin
inspiration
,
as
may
be
piously
believ'd
from
whence
every
right
thought
proceeds
)
that
it
would
much
redound
to
the
honour
of
Christ
our
Lord
and
Saviour
,
and
conduce
to
the
encrease
of
devotion
in
the
hearts
of
all
pious
Christians
:
If
as
[
according
to
the
very
ancient
institution
,
and
generally
receiv'd
custom
]
severall
godly
people
use
to
recite
sixty
three
Angelicall
Salutations
,
with
our
Lords
Prayer
,
seven
times
interpos'd
,
in
honour
of
the
most
blessed
Virgin
Mary
,
according
to
the
number
of
years
which
she
is
esteem'd
to
have
liv'd
upon
earth
,
which
kind
of
prayer
is
call'd
the
Virgins
Crown
,
so
they
would
also
inure
themselv's
to
recite
thirty
three
Lords
Prayers
,
interposing
four
Ang●lical
Salutations
in
the
honour
of
our
Redeemer
for
a
commemoration
of
the
years
,
in
which
he
convers'd
upon
earth
amongst
men
,
which
would
be
[
as
it
were
]
our
Lords
Crown
&c.
We
whom
it
behoves
to
promote
the
honour
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
as
farr
forth
as
he
shall
enable
us
,
and
to
add
fewell
to
the
devotion
of
his
faithfull
flock
;
Do
approve
and
confirm
the
aforesaid
manner
of
Prayer
,
invented
by
that
ancient
and
recluded
Hermit
,
and
will
have
it
call'd
the
Crown
of
our
Lord
&c.
Given
at
Florence
the
18
,
of
Feb.
in
the

Gregory
the

and

with
more
and
greater
Indulgences
:

&c.
The

Pater

in

upon

,
to

of

with
an
additionall
point
of
Meditation
upon
some
of
the
pious
Mysteries
of
our
Saviours

and
a

Aspiration

with
more
affections
and
resolutions
according

each
ones
Spirit
of
devotion
.

persecution
for
my
sake
.
O
Jesu
!
how
much
have
you
done
and
endur'd
for
me
,
and
how
little
have
I
done
and
endur'd
for
you
,
and
my self
?
Our
Father
.
8.
HIs
chief
lesson
was
humility
:
Learn
of
me
,
for
I
am
meek
,
and
humble
of
heart
.
O
Jesu
!
This
is
one
of
the
vertues
I
chiefly
stand
in
need
off
;
Ah!
that
my
heart
were
truly
simple
,
supple
,
innocent
,
and
humble
!
how
happy
a
Scholler
should
I
be
(
O
my
Redeemer
!
)
in
your
holy
School
,
could
I
as
cheerfully
practise
,
as
I
can
easily
resolve
?
Our
Father
.
9.
HIs
principall
precept
was
Charity
,
I
give
you
a
new
commandment
,
that
you
love
one
another
.
O
Iesu
!
this
is
the
other
vertu
I
principally
want
and
wish
for
;
Ah!
that
my
whol
interiour
,
and
exteriour
,
my
heart
,
soul
,
body
,
and
senses
,
were
nothing
but
pure
Charity
!
that
so
it
might
be
impossible
for
me
to
speak
!
think
,
act
,
or
breath
any
thing
,
but
the
perfect
love
of
you
and
my
neighbour
.
Our
Father

HE
made
his
triumphant
entrance
into
Jerusalem
[
in
order
to
his
Passion
)
sitting
upon
an
asse
,
and
he
shed
tears
amidst
the
peoples
applauses
and
acclamations
.
O
Iesu
!
give
me
a
true
sight
of
my self
,
and
of
the
World
,
that
perfectly
knowing
my
own
vility
,
and
its
vanity
,
I
may
incessantly
bewail
my
selfwretchedness
,
weep
for
the
Worlds
wickedness
,
and
render
to
you
only
all
honour
and
glory
.
Our
Father
.
O
Sacred
Virgin-Mother
!
who
so
faithfully
,
diligently
,
and
devoutly
accompany'd
,
follow'd
,
and
serv'd
your
divin
Son
in
his
manly
age
:
appease
him
[
I
beseech
you
]
in
my
behalf
,
by
your
powerfull
prayers
and
intercession
.
Hail
Mary
.
The
third
part
.
Of
Christs
bitter
Death
and
Passion
.
1.
OUr
dear
Redeemer
,
after
his
last
supper
,
wash'd
the
feet
of
his
Disciples
,
and
instituted
the
Sacrament
of
the
Eucharist
.
O
Iesu
!
which
shall
I
most
admire
,
your
stupendious
humility
?
or
your
unheard-off
charity
?
Our
Father
.
2.
HE
entred
the
Garden
with
his
Disciples
,
where
after
he
had
most
fervently
pray'd
,
he
fell
into
a
vehement
Agony
,
in
which
,
bloud
mix'd
with
sweat
,
trickled
down
from
his
whol
body
.
O
Iesu
!
how
great
are
my
sins
,
which
are
the
cause
of
your
so
great
sorrow
?
place
your
Passion
[
I
bessech
you
]
between
them
and
your
judgment
;
O
let
your
sufferings
cancel
their
heynousness
,
and
let
your
precious
bloud
wash
away
their
erronious
filthiness
.
Our
Father
.
3.
HE
was
seiz'd
on
by
a
crew
of
armed
Souldiers
,
manacled
with
cords
,
dragg'd
away
to
Annas
and
Caiphas
.
O
Iesu
!
dissolve
the
bands
of
my
unruly
passions
,
perverse
inclinations
,
and
impure
affections
,
and
take
me
,
tie
me
,
shackle
me
,
and
draw
me
unto
you
with
the
sweet
cords
of
your
sacred
love
and
charity
.
Our
Father
.
4.
IN
the
whol
night
of
his
passion
,
he
suffer'd
all
sorts
of
injuries
,
vexations
,
and
torments
.
O
Jesu
!
and
shall
I
repine
at
small
pains
and
persecutions
?
shall
I
faint
under
the
light
burthen
which
your
loving
hand
lay's
upon
my
shoulders
?
O
meek
lamb
of
God!
pardon
my
past
impatience
,
and
give
me
a
perseverant
Resignation
to
your
will
and
pleasure
.
Our
Father
.
5.
HE
was
contemptibly
hurried
away
to
Pilate
and
Herod
,
and
by
them
scorn'd
as
a
silly
Ideot
.
O
Jesu
!
you
are
every
way
humbled
,
depressed
,
annihilated
,
and
I
seek
nothing
but
honour
,
applause
,
estimation
!
Is
this
to
imitate
you
,
my
Lord
and
Master
?
O
change
me
,
correct
me
,
convert
me
by
your
power
,
in
your
mercy
,
by
your
example
.
Our
Father
.
6.
HIs
tender
body
was
ty'd
naked
to
a
pillar
,
and
torn
with
whips
and
scourges
.
O
Iesu
!
uncloath
me
of
the
old
man
,
with
all
his
wicked
works
,
and
revest
me
with
the
new
,
created
in
justice
and
sanctity
,
according
to
your
own
heart
.
Our
Father
.
7.
HE
was
beaten
with
a
cane
,
buffeted
with
their
fists
,
spurned
with
their
feet
,
defil'd
with
their
spittle
,
crown'd
with
Thorns
,
every
way
abused
.
O
Jesu
!
the
beauty
of
Men
and
Angels
!
how
are
you
worried
for
my
wickedness
?
O
wound
my
soul
with
a
deep
sense
of
your
sufferings
,
that
I
may
henceforth
absolutely
detest
all
sin
,
trample
upon
all
sensuality
,
cancel
all
vanity
,
serve
you
more
innocently
,
and
adhere
to
you
more
fervently
.
Our
Father
.
8.
HE
was
forc'd
to
carry
his
heavy
Cross
upon
his
weak
and
wounded
shoulders
from
Jerusalem
to
Mount
Calvarie
.
O
Jesu
!
let
me
cheerfully
take
up
the
Cross
of
self-contempt
,
self-abnegation
,
self-denyall
,
and
follow
you
till
death
,
constantly
,
couragiously
,
perseverantly
.
Our
Father
.
9.
HE
was
stripp'd
naked
,
and
stretch'd
on
the
Cross
,
having
his
hands
and
feet
barbarously
nayl'd
unto
it
,
and
his
side
pierc'd
with
a
Launce
.
O
Iesu
!
strip
me
of
all
that
displeases
the
eyes
of
your
divin
Majesty
,
dilate
my
heart
with
celestiall
affections
,
and
fasten
my
●oul
to
your self
,
with
the
sweet
nayls
of
your
sacred
Love
.
Our
Father
.
10.
HAving
hung
three
hours
on
the
Cross
,
inclining
his
head
,
he
gave
up
the
Ghost
.
O
Iesu
!
you
dy'd
for
me
,
that
I
might
live
eternally
:
O
let
me
dy
to
all
things
,
that
I
may
henceforth
live
to
you
only
,
who
are
to
me
All
in
All.
Our
Father

O
Sacred
Virgin-Mother
!
who
so

stood
by
your

Son
,
dying
on
the
Cross
for
me
;

him
[
I

you

in

Rosary
of
Iesus
,
which
contains
nothing
more
than
what
is
before
prescribed

expressed
:
)
for
though
they
may
be
practis'd
with
very
great
spiritual
profit
by
all
faithful
Christians
,
as
containing
a
most
eminent
,
sublime
,
and
heroick
manner
of
offring
up

The

And
to

selv's
to
him
in

of
humble
servitude

which

1.
The
Eternall
Greatness
of
the
word
Incarnate
.
O
IESU
,
my
Lord
!
King
of
Angels
;
Redeemer
of
Men
;
Soveraign
of
the
Universe
:
only
Son
of
God
,
only
Son
of
the
Virgin
;
Born
from
all
Eternity
,
in
the
Eternall
Fathers
bosom
;
and
in
times
fullness
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary
;
true
God
,
true
Man
!
I
adore
you
in
your
eternall
,
and
your
temporall
Greatness
,
in
your
divin
and
human
Fullness
:
in
your
created
,
and
uncreated
Highness
.
You
are
the
second
Person
of
the
sacred
Trinity
,
but
equall
to
the
First
,
and
origin
of
the
Third
:
you
are
the
Splendor
and
Glory
of
the
eternall
Father
;
you
are
his
power
,
and
his
wisdom
,
you
are
his
lively
Image
and
perfect
resemblance
;
you
are
his
only
Son
,
and
his
eternall
word
;
you
are
God
of
God
,
Light
of
Light
.
2.
The
Equality
and
Consubstantiality
of
the
Divin
Persons
in
a
perfect
distinction
,
is
a
wonder
in
God
himself
.
YOU
are
in
these
Greatnesses
by
Birth
:
Such
a
Birth
,
which
Equalls
the
Power
and
Paternity
of
him
,
who
is
your
Father
,
and
which
is
one
and
the
same
thing
with
the
Divinity
.
A
wonder
,
not
in
the
world
,
but
in
Eternity
;
not
in
the
created
,
but
uncreated
Being
;
and
the
Prime
wonder
of
Eternity
:
For
you
are
the
first
Production
of
the
Eternall
Father
,
and
source
of
the
last
.
And
by
this
wonderfull
Birth
,
you
are
Infinit
as
he
is
;
All-powerfull
is
he
is
,
God
as
he
is
.
Beginning
and
Originall
of
a
Divin
Person
as
he
is
:
Nor
is
there
any
other
difference
,
but
that
in
one
self-same
Divinity
,
in
one
equall
Eternity
,
in
one
semblable
Majesty
,
He
is
Father
,
and
you
are
Son
:
you
are
Son
,
but
without
inequality
,
without
posteriority
:
you
are
Son
,
yet
of
even
antiquity
,
of
equall
authority
with
him
,
and
Eternall
God
as
he
is
.
You
are
Son
,
but
without
diversity
of
Essence
,
or
of
Power
,
or
of
Wisdom
;
having
the
unity
of
Essence
,
with
the
diversity
of
Subsistency
,
in
which
you
are
one
only
God
with
him
:
you
are
adored
as
he
is
,
and
you
are
the
Creator
,
Conserver
,
and
Commander
of
the
whol
world
as
he
is
.
3.
God
low's
himself
to
us
,
and
makes
himself
one
of
us
.
THese
Greatnesses
dazle
our
souls
,
we
cannot
look
upon
them
from
out
our
Earths
obscurity
;
They
are
to
be
adored
,
not
beheld
;
and
we
must
vail
our
faces
in
the
presence
of
this
divin
object
,
as
did
the
Angells
(
by
Isay's
relation
)
in
the
sight
of
your
Throne
.
But
you
are
willing
to
exercise
you
mercy's
upon
us
;
you
will
cast
a
cover
upon
your self
,
and
render
your self
visible
to
our
weak
spirits
,
and
to
our
mortall
aspects
:
you
will
stoop
down
to
us
,
and
become
accessible
;
and
by
a
Councill
which
even
ravishes
us
with
wonder
,
you
will
come
neer
us
,
and
make
your self
as
one
of
us
.
For
,
O
LOVE
,
O
MERCY
!
O
MERVAIL
!
You
will
unite
your
Greatness
to
our
Baseness
,
your
Eternity
to
our
Mortality
;
your
Divinity
to
our
humanity
,
becoming
Son
of
Man
,
Son
of
Mary
for
an
Eternity
,
as
from
all
Eternity
,
you
are
the
Son
of
GOD
,
the
only
Son
of
the
Eternall
Father
.
4.
Gods
Son
gives
his
Eternall
Essence
and
Subsistence
to
our
nature
.
I
Adore
you
in
this
highest
Councill
and
divin
Will
;
I
Adore
you
in
this
new
estate
and
deep
Mystery
:
I
Adore
you
in
the
unity
of
your
divin
Person
,
and
in
the
diversity
of
your
natures
;
the
one
Divin
and
Eternall
,
the
other
human
and
temporall
.
I
Adore
you
as
receiving
your
Eternall
Essence
from
the
Eternall
Father
,
and
as
giving
your
Essence
,
you
subsistency
to
human
nature
united
to
your self
for
an
Evermore
,
Vnited
(
I
say
)
to
your self
so
intimatly
,
and
so
powerfully
;
so
gloriously
and
so
divinely
.
O
Adorable
Estate
!
O
Unspeakable
Mystery
!
O
happy
Moment
of
the
Incarnation
,
which
makes
man
God
,
and
God
man
:
Which
gives
to
Heaven
a
King
of
Glory
,
and
to
the
Earth
a
Soveraign
:
To
Angells
.
a
Repayrer
,
and
to
Men
a
Saviour
!
5.
Jesus
is
born
,
lives
,
suffers
,
dyes
for
us
.
O
JESU
,
my
Lord
and
my
Saviour
.
I
Adore
you
as
Gods
Son
,
I
Adore
you
as
Mans
Son
,
and
Man
God
:
I
Adore
you
in
these
two
different
Estates
;
The
one
Eternall
,
the
other
Temporall
;
the
one
uncreated
,
the
other
created
;
the
one
divin
,
the
other
human
;
joyned
together
,
and
joyned
inseparably
.
But
I
must
yet
Adore
you
as
Man-God
for
man
:
For
't
is
for
us
that
you
would
be
made
Man
,
't
is
for
us
,
that
you
live
and
dy
;
't
is
for
us
that
you
do
&
suffer
;
't
is
for
us
that
you
are
born
in
a
Stable
,
and
bedded
on
straw
;
't
is
for
us
that
you
lead
an
abject
,
laborious
,
suffering
life
;
't
is
for
us
that
you
dy
upon
Mount
Calvary
;
and
hang
on
the
Cross
;
't
is
for
us
that
you
arise
,
and
ascend
into
Glory
:
O
Birth
!
O
Life
!
O
Death
!
O
Divin
,
glorious
,
heavenly
Life
!
O
blessed
hour
of
the
Incarnation
,
of
the
Expiration
,
of
the
glorification
of
Gods
Son
!
O
Estates
of
Jesus
in
his
Fathers
bosom
,
and
at
his
Mothers
breasts
,
hanging
on
the
Cross
,
and
sitting
on
the
right
hand
of
God!
O
Abodes
!
O
Estates
!
O
Mysteries
of
Jesus
,
in
Judea
,
in
Egypt
,
in
Galilee
,
in
Bethleem
,
in
Nazareth
,
in
Jerusalem
,
in
the
Crib
,
on
the
Cross
,
in
the
Grave
,
on
Earth
,
in
Hell
,
in
Heaven
!
Who
can
recount
your
thoughts
,
your
griefs
,
your
delights
in
these
places
?
But
Heaven
will
one
day
reveal
them
unto
us
,
and
the
Contemplation
hereof
shall
be
one
of
the
employments
of
our
Eternity
;
till
when
the
Earth
must
remain
ignorant
hereof
;
must
Reverence
them
,
and
must
be
content
with
the
Crums
falling
from
your
Saints
Tables
,
whom
you
plentifully
nourish
with
this
living
,
and
life-giving
bread
on
Earth
and
in
Heaven
.

Jesus
Adores
his
Heights
by
his
Lownesses
,
and
rayseth
up
his
Lownesses
by
his
Greatnesses
.
-
1.
BY
their
Example
and
Imitation
,
I
Contemplate
and
Adore
you
,
O
Jesu
,
my
Lord
!
I
Adore
you
in
your
Greatness
,
and
in
your
Abjectness
;
in
your
Cross
,
and
in
your
Glory
;
in
your
life
,
and
in
your
death
.
-
2.
I
Adore
you
as
raysing
up
your
Lowness
by
your
Greatness
;
your
human
life
,
by
your
divin
Life
;
your
disgraces
,
by
your
glory
;
and
your
suffring
estate
,
by
your
impassible
,
immutable
,
and
eternall
condition
.
-
3.
I
Adore
you
,
as
Adoring
your self
,
your
Greatness
by
your
Littleness
,
your
Divinity
by
your
Humanity
;
your
Birth
in
your
Fathers
bosom
,
by
your
Birth
of
your
Mother-Virgin
in
the
Ox-stall
,
your
supreme
Authority
,
by
your
humility
;
and
your
uncreated
Essence
,
by
your
Created
Being
.
-
4.
And
after
this
Contemplation
of
you
in
your
self
,
I
contemplate
and
Adore
you
,
as
going
forth
of
your self
;
as
extending
and
spreading
your self
;
and
as
filling
Heaven
and
Earth
with
your
Grace
and
your
Glory
;
with
your
gifts
,
and
your
Mysteries
,
and
finally
with
your self
.
O
God!
O
Man
!
O
Man-God
!
O
Infinitly
prodigall
of
your self
!
7.
Jesus's
excessive
love
in
the
effusion
of
his
last
drop
of
Blood
for
us
;
thereby
testifying
the
effusion
of
his
Greatness
and
Goodness
also
upon
us
.
I
Inlarge
my self
in
the
variety
of
these
thoughts
;
I
am
ravisht
in
these
different
Exercises
,
which
my
Soul
makes
of
your self
;
and
I
lose
my self
in
the
Contemplation
of
these
so
high
and
great
verities
.
For
in
honour
of
that
supream
Communication
which
you
receive
from
your
Father
in
the
Eternall
generation
;
and
in
honour
of
that
Ineffable
Communication
of
your
Divinity
with
our
Humanity
in
the
Incarnation
;
I
look
upon
you
,
I
admire
you
,
I
Adore
you
,
O
my
Lord
!
as
annihilating
your self
,
and
as
exhausting
your self
,
that
you
may
bestow
your self
on
men
.
You
(
as
it
were
)
drayn
your
Divinity
powring
it
out
upon
your
humanity
,
consuming
it
incessantly
in
the
furnace
of
your
love
;
and
at
last
sacrificing
it
in
the
Holocaust
of
your
Cross
:
you
shed
your
Blood
in
suffering
and
you
dy
by
the
effusion
thereof
,
chosing
,
that
kind
of
death
,
to
demonstrate
the
effusion
of
your self
:
And
the
Nayls
and
Executioners
,
being
unable
to
empty
it
all
,
the
ardour
of
your
love
,
which
cannot
be
extinguish'd
in
death
it self
preserv's
liquid
in
death's
coldness
that
residue
left
in
your
heart
and
body
,
to
be
drain'd
out
,
even
to
the
last
drop
:
Such
was
your
good
pleasure
to
make
an
aboundant
and
super-aboundant
Effusion
both
of
your
blood
,
and
also
of
your self
together
.
8.
Jesus
is
all
ours
;
and
we
are
all
his
;
yea
,
we
are
in
him
,
we
live
in
him
,
we
are
parts
of
him
.
WHat
shall
I
say
,
what
shall
I
do
in
the
Contemplation
of
these
things
?
Let
me
forget
my self
,
for
you
forget
Your self
for
me
:
Let
me
leave
and
loose
my self
,
for
you
annihilate
Your self
for
me
:
Let
me
be
yours
,
for
You
are
mine
,
let
me
be
all
yours
,
for
you
are
all
mine
;
Let
me
be
all
yours
for
ever
,
for
you
are
all
mine
for
ever
.
Your
Divinity
,
(
as
it
were
)
Incarnated
,
is
my
substance
,
and
my
subsistence
:
your
humanity
(
as
it
were
)
divinized
,
is
my
health
&
my
life
:
your
Body
is
my
diet
,
and
your
Blood
is
my
Bath
,
your
Death
is
my
life
,
your
weakness
is
my
strength
,
your
Cross
is
my
quiet
,
your
suffering
is
my
rejoycing
.
Thus
I
am
yours
,
and
you
are
mine
;
And
I
am
yours
(
O
my
loving
Saviour
!
)
by
your
self
,
and
by
a
means
so
noble
,
and
so
divin
,
so
dear
and
near
unto
you
,
and
by
so
many
sorts
of
ways
which
give
you
unto
me
,
which
consecrate
me
to
you
;
and
which
even
draw
and
drain
you
all
out
for
me
.
But
I
discover
yet
a
greater
secret
in
your
love
,
and
in
your
Mysteries
,
and
a
greater
favour
in
your
way
of
dealing
with
me
;
For
you
are
not
only
mine
,
and
I
yours
,
but
I
am
in
you
.
I
perceive
that
whilst
I
Contemplate
your self
and
your
Father
,
and
see
that
you
are
in
him
,
that
you
live
in
him
;
you
frame
within
me
a
lively
Image
of
your self
,
and
of
your
divin
Emanation
;
and
by
your
Incarnation
,
you
establish
a
new
manner
of
gracious
favour
in
the
world
,
which
makes
me
in
the
Order
of
Grace
,
not
only
existent
by
you
,
but
existent
in
you
:
So
that
by
this
manner
of
Grace
,
proper
to
this
Mystery
,
and
springing
from
it
,
in
the
honour
and
Imitation
of
your
Eternall
Procession
,
I
am
not
only
yours
,
not
only
by
you
,
but
I
am
in
you
;
I
live
in
you
,
I
make
a
part
of
you
;
I
am
bone
of
your
bone
,
and
flesh
of
your
flesh
:
let
me
be
then
also
spirit
of
your
Spirit
,
let
me
live
by
your
life
,
let
me
participate
of
the
Interiour
,
of
the
Grace
,
of
the
Estate
,
of
the
Spirit
of
your
Mysteries
;
let
me
appropriate
my self
to
you
,
let
me
appropriate
them
to
my self
;
let
me
appropriate
my self
to
your
Greatnesses
,
and
to
your
debasings
;
your
Cross
,
and
your
Glory
;
your
Life
and
your
Death
.
9.
The
Perfection
of
a
Christian
requires
,
that
Jesus
live
in
him
and
that
he
imprint
in
his
Soul
the
Spirit
and
life
of
his
estates
and
Mysteries
.
'T
Is
my
desire
,
and
my
hope
,
but
it
surpasseth
my
power
,
and
therfore
I
expect
it
from
the
new
Grace
,
of
the
new
Man
.
For
this
Grace
joyns
me
to
him
,
and
placeth
me
in
a
condition
not
only
to
work
,
but
further
to
receive
and
bear
his
sacred
and
divin
Operations
;
yea
,
and
tends
to
a
more
strict
and
inward
Communication
.
For
this
new
Grace
issuing
out
of
the
Incarnation
,
and
resembling
its
own
originall
and
Prototypon
,
tends
to
this
,
that
I
be
in
Jesus
,
and
that
Jesus
be
in
me
,
as
he
is
in
his
Father
,
and
his
Father
is
in
him
.
Be
then
in
me
,
O
Jesu
,
live
in
me
,
work
in
me
;
form
and
figure
in
me
your
Estates
,
and
your
Mysteries
;
your
actions
,
and
your
sufferings
.
And
as
the
Father
expresseth
and
impresseth
in
you
his
substance
,
as
in
his
divin
Character
,
so
imprint
in
my
soul
,
and
in
my
life
your
inward
and
outward
Conversation
,
and
make
me
a
lively
character
,
bearing
the
impression
of
your
Spirit
,
of
your
estates
,
of
your
holy
and
wholsom
operations
.
You
are
the
Image
of
God
,
make
me
the
perfect
picture
of
your self
,
make
me
like
to
your self
,
conforming
me
to
your
Mysteries
,
as
you
have
been
pleasd
to
make
your self
like
me
,
conforming
your self
to
my
miseries
;
and
let
me
carry
the
effects
and
lineaments
of
your
Grace
,
and
of
your
Glory
;
of
your
Power
and
of
your
life
,
which
you
led
upon
earth
.
Let
your
Birth
make
me
be
new-born
;
born
;
Let
your
Infancy
put
me
in
the
state
of
Innocency
:
Let
your
flight
into
Egypt
,
make
me
fly
the
world
and
sin
;
let
your
Servitude
render
me
your
slave
,
let
your
bonds
unfetter
me
,
and
infranchise
me
from
my
sins
,
from
my
passions
,
and
from
my self
.
Let
your
hidden
and
unknown
life
,
hide
me
from
the
world
,
and
from
vanity
:
let
your
solitude
entertain
me
;
let
your
temptations
strengthen
me
,
let
your
labours
solace
me
;
let
your
griefs
cure
me
;
let
your
Agonyes
comfort
me
;
and
let
your
death
make
me
live
,
and
be
new-born
in
Eternity
.

Principall
Mysteries

me
,
and
let
your
Qualities

Offices
thus
work
in
me
,
and
imprint
in
me
their
comfortable
efforts
.
You
are
the
uncreated
Wisdom
,
I
will
adhere
to
your
Maxims
,
and
follow
your
conduct
;
you
are
the
Doctor
of
Justice
,
I
will
enter
into
your
School
and
Disciplin
;
you
are
the
Holy
and
Health-bringer
of
God
,
in
you
will
I
have
Grace
and
Salvation
;
you
are
the
live

I
will
live
in
you
;
you
are
the
way
,
I
will
walk
by
you
;
you
are
the
God
of
Heaven
and
of
Earth
,
I
will
be
yours
.

By
how
many
titles
we
belong
to
Jesus
,
and
Jesus
to

I

For

yours
by
your
own
gift
,
whereby
you
give
your self
to
your
Father
for
me
.
And
you
are
mine
;
for
your
Father
gives
you
to
the
world
in
the
excess
of
his
love
;
and
you
are
your
Fathers
gift
;
you
are
Gods
gift
in
divers
and
sundry
significations
:
And
't
is
your
own
self
,
which
thus
qualifies
your self
,
telling
the
Samaritan
woman
;
Didst
thou
know
Gods
gift
,
and
who
he
is
that
talks
wtth
thee
:
This
was
your
discourse
of
your self
to
this
poor
stranger
,
whom
you
happily
made
a
Domestique
of
your
Faith
,
and
of
your
word
,
and
vouchsaf'd
your self
to
Catechize
so
familiarly
.

Jesus
is
Gods
Gift
unto
us
,
and
what
this
Gift
demands
of
us
;
with
an
Explication
of
Christian
Grace
.
WHerefore
being
taught
by
your
sacred
mouth
,
that
this
quality
of
being
Gods
Gift
,
is
proper
unto
you
,
I
adore
you
,
I
behold
you
,
I
receive
you
in
this
quality
:
As
by
this
you
are
mine
,
I
will
be
yours
;
Nor
shall
it
suffice
me
to
be
yours
by
your self
,
and
by
your
Father
,
I
will
be
yours
by
my self
also
,
and
by
choise
of
my
own
Free-will
.
I
give
my self
then
to
you
,
O
Jesu
,
my
Lord
!
I
give
to
you
my self
,
with
my
whol
power
,
and
according
to
the
full
extent
of
your
own
power
and
will
over
me
.
I
give
my self
to
the
Grace
of
your
Mysterie
of
the
Incarnation
:
Grace
,
which
tyes
me
unto
you
in
a
new
manner
:
Grace
which
separates
me
from
my self
,
unites
and
incorporates
me
in
you
;
Grace
,
which
makes
me
yours
in
so
noble
,
so
intimate
,
and
so
powerfull
a
fashion
,
and
renders
me
yours
,
as
a
parcell
of
your self
;
Grace
,
of
life
and
of
death
both
together
;
Grace
of
annihilating
,
and
also
of
establishing
.
In
the
strength
and
vertue
of
this
Grace
which
hath
its
origin
in
you
,
and
in
your
new
estate
of
God-Man
;
I
annihilate
my self
in
my
own
self
,
to
be
in
you
;
and
I
will
carry
within
my
Soul
a
death
to
all
things
,
that
I
may
live
in
you
:
And
I
will
that
my
Being
be
reduced
to
be
nothing
els
than
a
pure
Capacity
of
you
fill'd
up
with
you
.
13.
This
Christian
Grace
is
form'd
upon
the
Mysterie
of
the
Incarnation
,
which
is
its
Modell
;
And
requires
of

manner
of
Oblation

Donation
to
Jesus
.
ACcording
to
the
Power
&

of
this

And
what

O

Son
equall

,
and
do
produce
him

You

unspeakable
generation

and
since
the
Moment
chosen

derived
from

.
Happy
Moment
,
which
serv'd
for
the
Beginning
of
this
great
work

the
head-work
of

so

and
conjoyn'd
to
your

.
3.
What
is
proper
to
the
Person
of
the
Son
in
these
Mysteries
.
O
Only
Son
of
God!
who
do
give
your
Essence
to
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
your
Person
to
our
Humanity
,
by
an
ineffable
and
secret
Power
of
your
Love
;
I
prayse
you
,
contemplate
you
,
and
adore
you
in
your self
,
and
in
these
two
different
donations
:
you
eternally
produce
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
give
him
the
same
essence
which
you
have
receiv'd
of
the
Father
;
you
create
and
form
a
new
man
by
a
new
effort
of
your
grace
and
power
,
and
you
give
your self
to
him
,
uniting
his
nature
to
your
own
Person
:
nor
do
you
ever
cease
in
this
union
and
divin
donation
:
you
thus
worthily
and
divinly
exercise
your
love
;
you
conspire
in
unitie
with
the
Father
in
these
two
great
donations
,
the
one
Eternall
,
the
other
Temporall
,
and
you
fill
up
with
the
one
times
fullness
,
and
with
the
other
the
fullness
of
Eternitie
;
blessed
be
you
in
time
,
and
in
Eternitie
.
When
you
discoursed
of
your self
to
your
most
inward
and
familiar
friends
,
that
is
,
to
your
Apostles
in
the
last
hour
of
your
life
;
you
then
nam'd
your self
Life
,
and
so
you
are
the
Life
,
and
Originall
of
Life
,
and
of
Love
in
the
thrice
sacred
Trinity
,
which
Death
cannot
bereave
you
of
:
but
in
the
the
excess
of
your
love
;
you
would
yet
become
a
new
Life
,
and
a
new
beginning
of
Life
and
Love
in
your
humanity
.
Blessed
be
you
in
this
will
,
and
in
this
love
,
Love
depressing
and
exalting
;
Love
annihilating
and
deifying
;
Love
crucifying
and
glorifying
;
for
this
Love
elevates
the
humanity
,
and
depresseth
the
divinity
;
this
Love
annihilates
(
in
a
manner
)
your
nature
,
and
deifies
ours
:
this
Love
puts
you
on
the
Cross
,
and
placeth
us
●n
Glory
;
and
finally
,
this
Love
transforms
us
into
you
not
only
by
communication
of
qualities
,
but
even
by
communication
of
substance
.
O
Son
of
God!
I
love
you
,
and
I
adore
you
in
this
love
,
in
this
annihilation
,
in
this
powerfull
transformation
.
4.
What
is
proper
to
the
Person
of
the
Holy
Ghost
in
these
Mysteries
.
FRom
you
I
come
to
the
Holy
Ghost
,
who
proceeds
from
you
,
as
you
proceed
from
the
Father
:
for
in
this
way
of
Life
and
Love
,
I
trace
the
order
of
the
divin
Processions
and
sources
of
Life
:
and
after
the
Son
,
I
address
my self
to
you
O
Fountain
of
Life
!
O
holy
Spirit
!
Spirit
of
Truth
,
of
Life
,
and
of
Love
,
and
I
adore
you
in
your self
,
for
you
are
God
,
in
the
unity
which
you
have
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
;
I
adore
you
in
your
Emanation
,
for
you
proceed
from
them
,
and
you
are
their
Spirit
,
their
Tye
,
their
Love
:
and
I
again
adore
you
in
the
admirable
operation
,
which
you
exercise
in
the
time
ordain'd
by
the
eternall
wisdom
:
for
it
is
the
highest
and
holyest
Operation
which
can
be
terminated
out
of
your self
:
Operation
,
which
environs
the
worthiest
person
that
ever
shall
be
next
to
the
divin
Persons
,
that
is
,
the
Person
of
the
Virgin
:
Operation
,
which
depresses
and
exalts
her
:
depresses
her
,
even
into
the
center
of
her
nothing
,
drawing
from
her
these
sacred
words
;
Behold
our
Lords
hand-mayd
:
and
exalts
her
to
the
greatest
dignity
which
shall
ever
be
communicated
,
either
to
her
,
or
to
any
other
,
making
her
Mother
of
God
;
Operation
,
which
prepares
and
unites
our
nature
with
the
Divinity
,
and
the
Person
of
the
Virgin
,
with
the
Person
of
the
Word
:
Operation
,
which
accomplisheth
the
Incarnation
of
the
word
and
the
deification
of
human
nature
:
which
remaining
human
in
the
very
estate
of
this
divin
union
,
receiv's
uncreated
and
infinite
Grace
,
in
a
being
which
is
created
,
finite
,
and
like
to
ours
.
5.
Contemplations
upon
the
humanity
of
Jesus
.
ANd
you
O
sacred
Humanity
!
which
by
this
Operation
of
the
Holy
Ghost
are
divinly
deriv'd
from
the
Virgin
,
and
personally
united
to
the
eternall
Word
;
I
contemplate
and
adore
you
in
that
mervailous
estate
whereunto
you
enter
:
Estate
of
Existency
in
the
divin
Being
:
Estate
of
subsistency
in
the
Person
of
the
Word
:
Estate
of
Filiation
,
not
adoptive
,
but
proper
and
naturall
:
and
I
lose
my self
in
the
consideration
of
the
inward
and
secret
communications
of
the
divin
perfections
,
which
are
singularly
conferr'd
upon
a
nature
rhus
resident
,
thus
living
,
thus
existent
in
the
divinity
.
6.
Contemplations
upon
the
association
of
the
blessed
Virgin
in
the
Mysterie
of
the
Incarnation
.
ANd
since
the
most
sacred
Trinity
chooseth
you
,
(
O
holy
Virgin
!
)
and
associates
you
to
himself
in
this
admirable
operation
;
I
cannot
forget
you
in
this
Mysterie
,
nor
ought
I
to
seperate
,
what
God
in
this
work
hath
conjoyn'd●
Work
in
which
he
vouchsafes
to
you
so
great
and
honourable
a
part
,
and
so
peculiar
to
you
only
amongst
all
Creatures
.
I
prayse
then
and
reverence
you
with
a
singular
Veneration
,
correspondent
to
the
excess
of
that
excellency
and
dignity
communicated
unto
you
;
For
you
are
Mother
of
God
,
and
you
are
the
only
in
this
order
and
quality
,
and
it
is
in
you
,
and
in
you
only
,
that
this
work
of
works
is
accomplish'd
,
and
this
divin
union
between
the
Humanity
and
the
Divinity
is
consummated
.
In
these
thoughts
there
is
enough
to
ravish
a
Soul
,
to
loose
it
in
the
diversity
of
these
Objects
,
and
to
swallow
it
up
in
their
deep
profundities
:
I
am
confounded
in
the
contemplation
of
them
,
I
ca●…
my self
down
;
I
lift
my self
up
;
I
rejoyce
,
I
leap
out
of
my self
,
and
I
will
have
share
in
this
new
grace
,
of
this
new
mysterie
of
the
Incarnation
.
7.
An
Oblation
of
humble
Servitude
to
Jesus
,
and
to
his
deifi'd
Humanity
.
ANd
expecting
untill
it
shall
please
God
to
make
me
capable
of
some
one
of
the
holy
inventions
of
his
Spirit
,
and
of
the
operations
of
his
grace
and
love
by
consequence
of
this
mysterie
;
I
offer
and
submit
my self
,
I
vow
and
dedicate
my self
to
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
in
the
state
of
perpetuall
servitude
,
to
him
and
to
his
deify'd
Humanity
,
and
to
his
humaniz'd
Divinity
:
and
this
with
a
resolution
as
firm
,
constant
and
inviolable
,
as
by
his
grace
is
possible
for
me
to
make
:
and
as
the
durance
and
perpetuity
of
this
stable
mysterie
,
permament
for
all
Eternity
,
doth
deserve
.
8.
A
larger
expression
of
this
servitude
WHerefore
,
in
honour
of
the
unity
of
the
Son
with
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
of
the
union
of
the
●ame
Son
with
human
nature
,
which
he
●a●th
united
and
joyn'd
to
his
own
Person
:
I
do
unite
and
fasten
my
being
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
to
his
deify'd
Humanity
,
by
the
bond
of
perpetuall
servitude
;
I
knit
this
knot
on
my
part
with
all
my
power
,
and
beg
of
him
to
give
me
more
power
to
tie
my self
to
him
with
a
closer
and
faster
colligation
,
in
honour
of
those
holy
and
sacred
connexions
,
which
he
will
have
with
us
in
Earth
and
in
Heaven
,
in
the
life
of
grace
and
of
glory
.
9.
The
Life
of
the
Divinity
in
the
Humanity
.
I
Reverence
and
adore
the
Life
and
annihilating
of
the
Divinity
in
the
Humanity
;
the
life
,
the
substance
,
and
the
deification
of
this
Humanity
in
the
Divinity
:
and
all
the
actions
humanly
divin
and
divinly
human
,
which
have
proceeded
from
this
new
and
mutual
life
of
the
Man-God
,
living
in
two
Essences
,
whereof
one
is
Eternall
,
the
other
Temporall
,
the
one
is
Divin
,
the
other
Human●
Life
,
great
,
high
,
and
profound
of
the
Man-God
,
and
of
the
God
Man
;
Life
,
rare
and
admirable
,
but
hidden
in
its
own
sublimity
:
Life
,
unknown
even
to
Angels
,
and
to
all
created
nature
under
the
manifestation
of
glory
;
Life
,
hidden
(
I
say
)
and
unknown
of
the
Divinity
in
this
Humanity
,
and
of
the
Humanity
in
the
Divinity
.
In
homage
of
this
double
Life
and
Essence
;
I
dedicate
and
consecrate
to
him
,
my
life
and
my
actions
of
nature
,
and
of
grace
,
and
this
I
consecrate
to
him
in
quality
of
the
life
and
actions
of
one
of
his
Bond-slaves
for
evermore
.
10.
The
denudation
of
Jesus's
human
subsistencie
is
the
cause
that
his
humanity
and
all
its
actions
are
appropriated
to
the
Person
of
the
Eternall
word
,
by
which
it
subsists
.
I
Reverence
the
denudation
and
nakeding
,
which
the
Humanity
of
Iesus
hath
of
its
own
proper
and
ordinary
subsistencie
to
be
revested
with
another
subsistency
,
which
we
may
call
forreign
and
extraordinary
to
its
own
nature
:
whence
it
is
,
that
its
life
and
its
estate
:
its
moti●…s
and
its
actions
are
not
now
from
it self
,
nor
its
own
to
speak
properly
,
but
they
are
all
that's
actions
,
which
sustains
it
thus
denuded
of
its
won
peculiar
subsistence
.
In
honour
of
this
Privation
of
the
Humanity
,
of
a
thing
so
inward
,
and
so
conjoyn'd
to
its
own
nature
,
and
of
the
new
and
absolute
dependencie
which
it
hath
of
a
divin
Person
;
I
renounce
all
power
,
authority
,
and
liberty
,
which
I
have
to
dispose
of
my self
,
of
my
being
,
of
all
the
conditions
,
circumstances
,
and
●ppurtenances
thereof
,
and
of
all
my
actions
;
to
dismiss
my self
entirely
into
the
hands
of
Jesus
,
and
of
his
sacred
humanity
;
to
his
honour
and
glory
for
the
accomplishment
of
all
his
purposes
and
powers
upon
me
.
11.
An
Oblation
of
all
that
we
are
,
and
can
,
to
this
sacred
Humanity
.
I
make
unto
you
,
(
O
Iesu
!
)
and
to
your
deify'd
Humanity
,
an
entire
,
absolute
,
and
irrevocable
Oblation
and
Donation
of
all
that
I
am
by
you
in
the
Being
,
and
in
the
order
of
nature
and
grace
:
of
all
that
which
depends
thereupon
,
of
all
the
naturall
and
good
actions
which
I
shall
ever
perform
,
referring
my self
totally
,
that
is
,
all
that
which
is
in
me
,
and
all
that
which
I
can
refer
to
the
homage
and
honour
of
your
sacred
humanity
,
which
I
from
henceforth
look
upon
,
and
lay
hold
on
,
as
the
object
whereunto
(
after
God
)
I
refer
my
soul
,
my
interiour
and
exteriour
Life
,
and
generally
all
whatsoever
is
mine
.
12.
JESUS
is
doubly
in
the
state
of
a
servant
:
(
1.
)
by
humbling
his
divin
Person
to
a
created
nature
:
(
2.
)
by
dying
on
the
Cross
.
O
Great
and
admirable
Jesu
!
notwithstanding
your
greatness
;
I
behold
you
in
the
state
and
form
of
a
servant
,
and
I
see
that
you
have
taken
this
form
,
and
this
estate
in
two
severall
manners
,
the
one
by
taking
our
human
nature
in
the
Mysterie
of
the
Incarnation
,
and
abjecting
in
it
the
infinite
and
supream
being
of
your
Divinity
,
even
to
the
nothing
of
our
nature
:
the
other
by
taking
the
abject
condition
of
our
mortall
,
infirm
,
and
miserable
life
upon
●arth
,
and
depressing
this
humanity
thus
united
to
the
Word
,
in
the
state
and
mysterie
of
your
mortall
,
wayfaring
,
unregarded
,
and
suffering
life
;
for
this
Humanity
being
in
this
sort
elevated
into
the
Throne
and
estate
of
a
divin
Person
,
should
not
have
been
in
any
other
condition
,
than
of
Glory
and
Splendour
:
Of
Splendour
,
(
I
say
)
befitting
the
Divinity
,
to
which
it
is
inseparably
united
.
And
yet
,
O
Love
!
O
Bounty
!
you
depress
it
for
me
,
even
to
an
estate
and
form
of
an
humble
life
,
and
serving
your
own
creatures
;
and
at
last
,
even
to
the
opprobrious
,
cruell
,
and
servill
punishment
of
the
Cross
.
13.
An
Oblation
of
our
selv's
to
Jesus
,
in
honour
of
this
his
double
estate
of
being
a
servant
.
THerfore
in
honour
of
this
double
estate
and
form
of
servant
unto
which
you
have
been
pleas'd
to
reduce
your
Supream
Greatness
:
I
offer
and
present
my self
unto
you
,
(
O
Jesu
!
)
I
render
my self
for
ever
a
Slave
to
you
,
and
to
your
Adorable
Humanity
:
I
render
my self
Slave
to
your
Love
,
Slave
to
your
Greatness
,
and
Slave
to
your
depressions
.
I
embrace
this
condition
,
and
make
it
universally
and
totally
subjecting
all
whatsoever
is
in
me
:
For
my
will
is
,
that
all
that
which
I
am
;
my
will
is
,
that
my
life
of
nature
,
and
of
grace
,
and
all
my
actions
be
yours
and
your
sacred
Humanities
,
as
things
belonging
to
it
,
in
a
new
manner
,
by
this
qualitie
and
condition
of
servitude
towards
it
,
which
I
now
here
offer
:
And
I
require
,
that
my
life
,
my
estate
,
and
my
Soul
carry
a
Particular
badge
of
this
my
belonging
,
dependency
,
and
servitude
to
you
,
and
to
your
Humanity
thus
Deifi'd
,
and
thus
depressed
both
together
.
14.
The
Continuance
of
this
Oblation
of
Servitude
.
AND
could
I
but
come
to
the
knowledge
of
any
estate
and
reference
of
my self
towards
you
more
dependent
of
you
,
and
any
relation
more
humble
,
and
more
strict
,
than
this
of
bondage
and
servitude
;
I
would
forthwith
embrace
it
,
therby
to
refer
my self
to
you
,
as
a
thing
due
both
to
the
greatness
of
the
estate
to
which
your
Humanity
is
elevated
by
the
Hypostaticall
union
,
as
also
the
excess
of
its
love
,
and
of
that
voluntarie
depression
whereunto
it
humbled
and
annihilated
it self
for
my
salvation
,
and
for
my
glorie
.
15.
A
confirmation
of
this
our
,
Oblation
of
Servitude
.
BUT
alas
!
what
shall
I
do
?
your
greatnesses
are
permanent
,
our
duties
of
Fealtie
are
perpetuall
,
and
I
come
late
to
these
lights
;
and
yet
they
also
are
unsteady
,
and
our
minds
do
easily
permit
themselv's
to
be
diverted
from
things
so
great
,
so
worthy
,
and
so
just
.
But
I
will
confirm
my self
in
these
verities
and
in
these
Intentions
:
I
will
repair
the
time
past
,
I
will
render
my self
yours
,
even
for
all
that
time
in
which
I
might
have
known
you
,
and
might
have
serv'd
you
,
I
will
bequeath
unto
you
for
ever
all
that
I
am
,
and
all
that
I
can
:
I
will
that
all
that
which
is
in
me
,
reflect
towards
you
,
and
serve
you
only
and
perfectly
:
I
will
have
no
other
conduct
,
motion
,
or
sense
,
but
by
you
,
and
for
you
;
And
I
will
that
in
vertu
of
this
present
cogitation
,
intention
,
and
oblation
,
each
moment
of
my
life
,
and
each
action
of
the
same
,
appertain
to
you
(
O
Jesu
!
)
and
to
your
sacred
Humanity
,
as
if
I
made
a
particular
tender
of
them
all
unto
you
.
16.
An
ardent
desire
of
an
inseparable
union
with
Christ
.
O
Only
Son
of
God!
The
Tye
wherby
you
have
fastn'd
your self
to
us
,
is
indissoluble
;
nor
was
Death
which
you
suffred
,
nor
Hell
which
you
entred
;
nor
Mens
sins
which
you
carryed
,
able
to
break
it
:
I
would
also
make
with
you
an
indissoluble
knot
,
(
O
Jesu
,
my
Lord
!
)
You
can
grant
me
this
favour
:
And
that
on
my
part
,
I
may
dispose
my self
thereto
,
I
Adore
you
in
the
unity
you
have
with
the
Father
;
Unity
,
which
renders
you
inseparable
from
him
:
I
adore
you
in
the
Union
,
which
you
have
with
us
:
Union
,
so
strong
,
that
nothing
can
dissolve
it
:
Union
,
so
inward
,
that
it
cannot
be
more
intrinsecall
and
immediate
,
since
that
it
penetrates
even
to
the
bottom
of
human
Being
.
In
the
honour
,
and
in
the
efficacy
of
this
union
,
I
offer
up
to
you
this
my
desire
of
being
united
to
you
for
evermore
;
And
I
make
irrevocable
(
as
much
as
possibly
I
may
,
)
this
my
Oblation
,
Donation
,
and
servitude
to
you
,
and
to
your
humanity
,
as
being
holy
and
sacred
by
reason
of
your
Divinity
it self
,
which
is
substantially
and
personally
resident
therein
.
17.
The
Humanity
of
Jesus
is
the
Temple
of
the
Divinity
.
O
Holy
Humanity
!
you
are
the
Temple
of
the
Divinity
,
and
even
so
he
calls
you
,
who
chose
you
for
himself
,
and
united
you
to
himself
,
and
who
hath
the
words
of
life
;
for
he
said
to
the
Jews
:
Dissolve
this
Temple
,
and
I
will
in
three
days
build
it
up
again
:
And
those
gross
and
materiall
minds
apply'd
this
discours
to
their
Temple
,
and
to
their
stones
:
But
(
O
Jesu
!
)
according
to
your
own
Apostle
you
spake
of
another
Temple
;
of
the
Temple
of
your
body
.
A
Temple
,
principall
,
singular
,
and
particular
of
the
Divinity
,
which
was
pleas'd
to
choose
this
Body
&
this
Humanity
,
to
triumph
in
it
,
and
by
it
,
and
render
it self
visible
in
its
greatnesses
in
the
midd'st
of
the
Earth
.
18.
What
great
things
are
wrought
in
this
Humanety
.
THE
Divinity
therfore
reposeth
in
you
(
O
sacred
Humanity
!
)
as
in
its
Temple
.
Temple
,
living
,
and
animated
;
Temple
,
consecrated
by
the
unction
of
the
Divinity
it self
,
which
is
present
,
subsistent
,
and
living
in
you
,
to
take
up
there
,
its
repose
,
to
be
there
acknowledg'd
and
ador'd
,
and
there
to
operate
divin
and
adorable
actions
:
And
it
reposeth
in
this
Humanity
,
more
holily
,
more
divinly
,
and
more
admirably
,
than
even
in
the
order
and
state
of
glory
:
And
it
cooperats
there
things
more
high
,
and
more
great
,
than
it
doth
in
Heaven
:
For
we
see
that
in
it
,
God
is
Man
and
Man
is
God
;
God
is
born
and
dying
;
God
is
living
and
suffering
;
and
Man-God
is
satisfying
in
the
tearms
of
Justice
to
the
Divin
Justice
:
A
thing
far
surpassing
all
present
and
possible
condition
of
Grace
and
Glory
.
19.
This
Humanity
is
holy
by
the
Divinity
it self
,
which
is
a
substantiall
sanctity
flowing
from
him
into
himself
,
and
thence
into
us
.
I
Also
Reverence
and
Adore
you
(
O
sacred
Humanity
!
)
as
the
most
holy
thing
,
after
God
,
which
God
himself
finds
amongst
the
Treasures
of
his
Wisdom
,
and
amongst
the
unexhaustible
depths
of
his
absolute
power
.
For
notwithstanding
that
you
resemble
us
in
nature
,
you
are
not
like
to
us
in
Grace
;
because
the
Grace
and
Sanctity
,
which
is
proper
to
you
,
is
not
such
as
is
proper
to
Angells
,
and
men
,
which
though
it
were
infinitly
multiply'd
,
could
never
arrive
to
the
shadow
of
your
sanctity
,
but
would
be
still
infinitly
distant
:
But
you
are
holy
with
a
holiness
incomparably
higher
;
with
a
holiness
proper
to
your self
;
with
a
holiness
which
is
adorable
;
with
a
holiness
issuing
from
the
divin
Essence
,
and
Person
,
as
from
its
act
,
and
from
its
proper
form
.
And
I
consider
and
Adore
you
as
holy
,
and
that
not
by
any
adjoyn'd
and
accidentall
form
of
sanctity
,
but
by
the
Divinity
it self
,
which
renders
you
holy
by
a
substantiall
holiness
,
by
an
uncreated
holiness
,
by
a
primitive
and
radicall
holiness
:
By
a
holiness
,
constituting
the
Order
and
admirable
estate
of
the
Hypostaticall
union
;
and
by
a
holiness
,
sanctifying
,
even
that
grace
which
is
in
you
,
and
which
flows
from
your self
into
your self
,
and
from
you
derives
into
us
its
created
grace
,
which
is
in
you
,
and
which
adorns
your
created
essence
and
puissance
;
finds
you
holy
,
and
not
makes
you
holy
,
as
it
doth
us
,
but
it
receives
it self
in
you
,
and
by
you
,
an
estate
and
manner
of
sanctity
,
which
it
hath
not
in
it self
,
and
which
it
cannot
have
but
in
you
;
the
which
elevates
it
,
ennobles
it
,
and
makes
it
capable
of
greater
things
than
it
could
in
it self
do
.
20.
And
this
sanctity
sanctifies
even
that
Created
Grace
which
is
in
himself
.
O
Sanctity
of
JESUS
!
O
new
Sanctity
!
O
admirable
Sanctity
!
O
singular
Sanctity
!
O
Sanctity
,
source
of
all
Sanctity
!
O
Sanctity
,
Sanctifying
and
Deifying
that
very
Grace
,
which
Sanctify's
all
things
!
O
the
Greatness
of
JESUS
,
and
of
Jesus's
Humanity
!
For
as
all
is
God
in
God
,
all
is
holy
,
all
is
great
in
Jesus
,
and
his
Humanity
remaining
human
,
is
made
divin
,
in
as
much
as
it
is
elevated
into
the
Throne
of
the
Divinity
it self
,
by
the
Personall
union
:
Union
so
high
,
and
so
singularly
particular
,
that
it
is
unknown
,
even
in
its
possible
Being
to
all
light
and
intelligence
of
created
nature
.
21.
An
humbling
,
yeilding
,
submitting
,
and
dedicating
of
our
whol
selv's
to
the
Deifi'd
Humanity
of
Jesus
in
the
way
of
perpetuall
Bondage
.
WHat
shall
I
do
in
the
survey
of
these
things
so
high
and
so
great
?
I
must
Abysm
my self
in
this
Ocean
:
I
must
lose
my self
in
these
Greatnesses
:
I
will
make
a
Collection
of
them
all
,
and
will
Reverence
all
the
Excellencies
reveal'd
and
not
reveal'd
,
which
follow
and
accompany
an
Estate
so
sublim
and
elevated
,
as
that
of
the
Personall
union
of
this
created
nature
to
the
uncreated
Word
:
I
rayse
up
my self
and
unite
my self
to
this
nature
,
and
by
it
to
the
Eternall
Word
,
and
by
the
Word
to
the
Father
who
begot
it
,
and
bequeath'd
it
to
us
.
I
yeild
up
my self
to
the
Soveraigntie
(
which
is
supream
and
not
communicable
to
the
order
of
creatures
)
which
this
nature
possesses
by
its
estate
of
divin
filiation
.
I
submit
my self
to
the
power
which
this
admirable
Estate
gives
it
over
all
created
things
.
I
dedicate
my self
,
and
consecrate
all
to
this
Deifi'd
Humanity
.
I
deliver
my self
up
to
his
power
,
and
leave
my self
to
his
conduct
and
love
,
And
my
will
is
that
it
have
a
speciall
sway
over
my
Soul
,
and
my
estate
,
over
my
life
and
my
actions
,
as
over
a
thing
belonging
to
himself
by
a
new
peculiar
and
particular
right
in
vertu
of
this
present
resolution
,
which
I
here
offer
unto
him
,
to
depend
upon
his
greatnesses
;
and
namely
upon
the
estate
of
filiation
and
soveraignty
,
to
which
it
is
elevated
.
Behold
,
This
is
that
I
can
do
,
(
O
Jesu
my
Lord
!
)
yet
this
sufficeth
neither
my
duty
,
nor
my
desire
;
my
power
is
too
small
to
fill
the
capacity
of
my
Soul
,
which
hath
its
aspect
on
you
,
and
its
reference
to
you
,
and
will
be
replenish'd
and
actuated
with
your
Puissance
,
and
not
with
its
own
;
for
you
can
with
me
,
that
which
I
cannnot
with
my self
.
O
sacred
and
Deifi'd
Soul
of
Jesus
!
Act
you
in
my
Soul
,
and
daign
to
take
upon
your self
that
power
over
me
.
which
I
cannot
give
you
,
and
constitute
me
your
Slave
in
that
manner
which
I
know
not
,
and
which
your self
well
knows
:
Make
me
to
be
yours
,
and
to
serve
you
,
not
only
with
my
actions
,
but
even
with
the
estate
and
condition
of
my
being
,
and
of
my
interiour
and
exteriour
life
.
And
I
humbly
entreat
you
to
esteem
and
treat
me
upon
earth
as
your
Bondslave
,
who
totally
abandons
himself
to
all
your
desires
,
who
delivers
up
himself
to
all
your
powers
,
and
to
all
the
effects
of
your
Greatness
and
Soveraignty
over
those
things
which
belong
unto
you
.
And
you
O
Virgin
,
and
Mother
of
Jesus
!
To
you
I
supplicate
,
that
you
will
conceive
and
consider
me
henceforth
,
as
your
Sons
bondslave
,
and
under
this
notion
obtain
for
me
a
Share
in
his
Eternall
Mysteries
and
Mercyes
.

Blessed
Virgin
Mary

with
Elevations

.
1.
The
Author
,
and
Origin
,
of
the
Bondage
.
THis
Devotion
of
the
Bondage
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
,
so
much
practis'd
in
these
our
dayes
,
throughout
all
Spain
(
says
Father
Anthony
Yepes
)
:
had
its
beginning
in
Hungary
about
the
year
1010.
by
the
means
of
S.
Gerard
a
glorious
Monk
and
Martyr
of
S.
Bennets
Order
,
the
Apostle
of
that
Countrey
,
and
Bishop
of
Chanadin
,
which
is
a
City
in
the
Confines
of
Moravia
and
Hungarie
.
By
whose
Counsell
and
advice
,
(
says
Baronius
)
;
the
most
holy
King
Stephen
gave
himself
,
and
his
whol
Kingdom
by
Vow
and
Oblation
,
to
the
sacred
Virgin
Mother
:
And
the
Hungarian
Church
(
says
Bishop
Cartuitius
)
,
did
so
highly
honour
this
Blessed
Virgin
;
that
they
celebrated
the
feast
of
her
glorious
Assumption
,
(
which
in
their
language
they
call'd
by
excellencie
Diem
Dominae
,
the
Ladies
day
)
with
an
equall
Solemnitie
to
that
of
Christmas
and
Easter
;
and
styled
themselves
,
The
Blessed
Virgins
Bondslaves
.
2.
An
ancient
and
Authentique
Example
of
the
practise
of
this
Bondage
.
SOon
after
S.
Gerard
,
liv'd
our
S.
Peter
Damian
(
the
learned
Cardinall
and
Bishop
of
Ostia
)
;
who
gives
us
at
large
,
a
rare
example
of
his
Bondage
,
in
his
brother
Marinus
,
(
a
devout
servant
of
the
Blessed
Virgin
)
:
n
these
words
.
Marinus
(
the
brother
of
Peter
Damian
)
whilst
he
yet
flourished
with
strength
and
health
;
uncloathing
himself
of
his
garments
,
and
putting
about
his
neck
the
Belt
wherewith
he
was
girded
;
deliver'd
up
himself
to
the
sacred
Virgin
before
her
Altar
,
as
a
servil
Bondslave
,
and
treating
himself
as
such
a
one
whipp'd
himself
in
the
same
place
before
her
,
saying
:
O
my
glorious
Lady
,
the
Myrrhor
of
virginall
Purity
,
and
perfect
Pattern
of
all
vertues
!
&c.
Behold
I
now
give
my self
to
you
as
a
servant
,
submitting
the
neck
of
my
prostrate
heart
,
to
the
Empire
of
your
power
.
Bow
me
,
mollifie
me
,
receive
me
;
and
let
not
your
Pietie
despise
me
a
sinner
,
whose
Immaculate
Virginity
brought
forth
the
Author
of
all
Sanctity
.
By
this
small
gift
,
I
offer
you
the
Tribut
of
my
servitude
and
Bondage
;
and
henceforth
,
so
long
as
I
shall
live
,
I
promise
to
pay
unto
you
this
yearly
Revenue
.
And
so
laying
a
certain
sum
of
money
,
in
Altaris
crepidine
,
upon
the
corner
of
the
Altar
;
he
departed
with
a
firm
confidence
to
find
the
mercy
,
which
he
had
faithfully
sought
,
and
humbly
implor'd
.
This
holy
Man
continuing
this
Devotion
during
his
life-time
,
deserv'd
to
be
particularly
visited
and
comforted
by
the
Blessed
Virgin
,
at
the
hour
of
his
death
:
To
whom
he
spake
in
this
sort
:
Whence
is
it
(
O
Soveraign
Lady
,
Queen
of
Heaven
and
Earth
!
)
that
you
thus
vouchsafe
to
give
a
visit
to
your
unworthy
Bondslave
?
Bestow
on
me
your
Blessing
,
(
O
my
Lady
!
)
and
permit
me
not
to
go
into
darkness
,
whom
you
have
been
graciously
pleas'd
to
visit
with
the
light
of
your
glorious
presence
.
Then
turning
towards
the
by-standers
:
The
Queen
of
the
World
was
here
(
says
he
)
the
Mother
of
the
Eternall
Monark
was
present
:
She
hath
shew'd
me
the
gladness
of
her
countenance
,
given
me
her
holy
blessing
,
and
is
hence
returned
into
heaven
.
And
soon
after
his
departing
Soul
followed
his
sacred
Mistress
:
leaving
a
most
lively
and
memorable
example
,
to
excite
posteritie
to
the
like
pietie
and
devotion
.
3.
Whereupon
this
Devotion
of
the
Bondage
is
grounded
.
THis
Devotion
of
Bondage
,
is
chiefly
grounded
upon
that
most
heroique
Act
of
Humilitie
,
which
the
sacred
Virgin
produc'd
at
the
time
of
our
Saviours
Incarnation
:
when
being
declar'd
Gods
Mother
by
the
Angelicall
Messenger
,
she
answer'd
:
Behold
the
Handmaid
of
ovr
Lord
:
Luk
1.
38.
Wherby
she
depressing
her self
into
the
center
of
her
own
nothing
,
chose
undoubtedly
the
meanest
degree
of
servitude
and
Bondage
to
the
divin
Majestie
,
upon
contemplation
that
his
Infinit
Greatness
should
so
humble
it self
,
as
to
become
Man
in
her
womb
for
the
worlds
Redemption
.
And
surely
if
we
will
only
put
together
the
severall
sentences
of
sacred
Writ
which
expresly
concern
her
;
we
shall
find
,
that
she
made
up
the
Chain
of
her
Bondage
with
the
links
of
twelve
most
excellent
vertues
.
-
1.

She
wrapp'd
the

and

.
-
10.

12.
Perseverant
CONSTANCY
.
Near
to
the
Cross
of
Jesus
,
stood
his
Mother
.
John
19.25
.
In
imitation
therfore
of
these
her
holy
vertues
,
and
especially
of
that
high
Act
of
Humility
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
by
which
she
rendring
her self
Gods
Bondslave
,
was
rais'd
to
be
his
Mother
:
(
for
no
sooner
had
She
finish'd
that
humble
speech
,
Behold
the
Handmaid
of
our
Lord
,
be
it
unto
me
according
to
thy
saying
,
but
the
Word
was
made
Flesh
,
and
dwelt
in
her
sacred
bowells
.
)
As
also
,
in
consideration
of
the
Soveraign
Dominion
,
which
God
hath
given
her
in
Heaven
over
the
Angells
:
(
The
Queen
stood
at
thy
right
hand
.
Psal.
44.
)
on
Earth
over
men
,
(
Kings
reign
by
me
,
&c.
Prov.
18.
)
And
thou
alone
hast
overcome
all
heresies
in
the
whol
world
,
sings
the
Church
)
;
And
over
Hell
,
and
the
Devill
;
(
She
shall
bruise
thy
head
.
Gen.
3.
)
And
Lastly
,
in
remembrance
that
Christ
Jesus
our
Redeemer
,
was
himself
subject
and
obedient
unto
her
,
(
Luc.
3.51
.
In
Imitation
,
Consideration
,
and
Memorie
of
these
things
(
I
say
)
this
holy
manner
of
honouring
the
most
sacred
Virgin
,
was
(
as
you
have
briefly
heard
)
invented
above
six
hundred
years
since
,
(
by
divin
inspiration
as
we
may
piously
believe
)
and
is
much
practis'd
amongst
the
devouter
sort
of
Christians
throughout
the
world
,
even
at
this
day
.

The
Rules
of
this
Devotion
of
the
Bondage
.
1.
IN
sign
of
the
Invisible
and
spirituall
Chain
,
which
links
our
sincere
affection
to
the
sacred
Virgin
,
and
moves
us
to
become
her
servants
and
Bondslaves
,
we
must
wear
some
little
materiall
Chain
or
manacle
of
Iron
,
about
our
middle
,
neck
,
or
armes
.
2.
We
are
to
have
the
Chain
,
we
intend
to
wear
,
bless'd
by
some
Priest
,
in
this
following
manner
.

saying
,

&

.
3.
We
may
do
well
to
make
choyce
of
some
day
,
dedicated
to
the
Virgins
honour
,
for
the
entring
into
this
Bondage
,
and
putting
on
of
this
Chain
to
make
our
Profession
more
memorable
and
solemn
.
Note
,
that
the
most
proper
and
principall
Feasts
of
this
Bondage
,
are
the
Annunciation
,
and
the
Assumption
:
The
first
,
being
the
Origin
thereof
grounded
upon
those
words
of
the
sacred
Virgin
to
the
Angell
;
Behold
the
Handmaid
of
our
Lord
:
And
the
second
,
being
her
taking
possession
of
that
soveraign
Dominion
,
next
after
God
,
whereupon
the
whol
duty
of
this
devout
servitude
depends
.
In
these
days
therfore
,
we
are
more
particularly
and
zealously
to
offer
up
our
devotions
in
thanksgiving
to
the
Divin
Maj●stie
,
for
the
supream
excellencies
bestow'd
upon
the
glorious
Virgin
;
and
to
renew
the
profession
of
our
Bondage
,
by
the
recitall
of
the
Prayer
and
Oblation
made
at
our
first
entrance
into
it
;
as
it
shall
be
hereafter
set
down
.
4.
We
should
also
prepare
our
selv's
before
hand
,
by
some
particular
Devotion
;
as
Fasting
,
Mortification
,
Meditation
,
Almes-deeds
,
Confession
;
Communion
;
to
render
the
Profession
of
our
Bondage
more
efficacious
and
meritorious
.
5.
Then
at
the
time
appointed
;
we
are
to
kneel
down
reverently
before
some
Altar
or
Image
of
our
Blessed
Lady
,
and
make
an
Oblation
of
our
selv's
unto
her
,
in
mannner
following
.
The
Prayer
and
Oblation
of
our
selv's
in
Bondage
to
the
Blessed
Virgin
.
O
Blessed
Mary
,
Mother
of
God
,
Queen
of
Heaven
,
and
Empress
of
the
whol
universe
!
Behold
I
N.

a
most

heartily
Congratulating
your
glory
&
greatness
,
and
faithfully
acknowledging
your
soveraign
Power
,
&
Dominion
(
next
after
God
)
over
my self
and
all
Creatures
;
Do
here
make
a
voluntarie
,
absolute
,
and
irrevocable
Oblation
,
Donation
,
and
consecration
of
my self
unto
your

;
desiring

intending

and
resolving
to

not
only
your
loyall
subject
and
servant
,
but
even
your

and
Bondslave
.
In
confirmation
whereof
,
I
will
continually
wear
this
materiall

about
my

,
both
as
a
Badge
of
my
now
professed
Bondage
,
and
also
as
a
token
of
my

.
Vouchsafe
therfore
,
O
Soveraign
Queen
!
to

and

Prerogative
,
and

The
Person
of
the
Virgin
(
next
the
divin
Persons
)
is
the
most
worthy
,
and
greater
than
all
human
and
Angelicall
Persons
together
.
IN
contemplation
of
this
Councill
and
this
work
;
Permit
me
Lord
!
to
address
unto
you
my
devout
Vows
and
Elevations
concerning
this
quality
which
you
establish
in
Heaven
,
and
on
Earth
by
the
sacred
Mystery
of
your
Incarnation
,
Quality
of
Mother
to
the
most
high
;
And
give
me
leave
to
trace
your
divin
and
admirable
ways
in
the
managing
of
this
work
with
my
humble
thoughts
and
devotions
.
You
herein
,
(
O
Great
Creatour
!
)
do
associate
the
sacred
Virgin
unto
your
own
self
:
you
Elevate
her
up
to
work
with
your self
,
and
even
to
work
the
work
of
your
works
:
And
as
you
associate
a
Human
nature
to
one
of
your
Divin
Persons
,
you
will
also
associate
a
Human
Person
to
one
of
your
Divin
works
.
Contemplating
therfore
,
this
work
(
O
sacred
Trinity
!
)
and
there
finding
this
Virgin
in
Society
with
your self
,
I
look
on
her
,
love
her
,
and
reverence
her
,
as
a
Person
the
most
high
,
the
most
holy
,
and
the
most
worthy
of
your
love
and
greatness
,
that
ever
shall
have
a
Being
:
yea
,
I
contemplate
and
respect
her
,
as
the
only
She
,
who
surpasses
in
Height
,
in
Holiness
,
in
Dignity
,
even
all
Human
and
Angelicall
Spirits
together
and
unitedly
considered
.
7.
The
Virgin
constitutes
an
Order
,
Empire
,
and
Vniverse
apart
.
MOreover
,
you
(
O
sacred
Trinity
!
)
made
her
singly
for
your self
,
you
have
made
her
,
as
a
World
,
and
a
Paradise
apart
:
World
of
Greatnesses
,
and
Paradise
of
delights
for
the
New-Man
,
who
was
to
come
into
the
world
;
you
have
made
her
,
as
a
new
Heaven
,
and
a
new
Earth
:
Earth
,
which
only
bears
the
Man-God
:
And
Heaven
,
which
contains
none
but
himself
alone
;
which
turnes
not
but
about
him
alone
;
which
moves
not
but
for
him
alone
.
You
have
made
her
in
the
Universe
,
as
another
Universe
;
And
in
your
Empire
,
as
another
Empire
:
For
the
sacred
Virgin
,
is
her self
a
Universe
,
which
hath
its
different
center
and
motions
.
The
sacred
Virgin
,
is
her self
an
Empire
,
which
hath
its
distinct
Laws
and
Estate
:
The
sacred
Virgin
amongst
all
the
subjects
of
Gods
Divin
Majesty
,
is
so
great
,
so
particular
,
so
eminent
a
subject
,
that
it
alone
maks
a
new
Order
amongst
the
orders
of
his
power
and
wisdom
.
Order
,
surpassang
all
the
Orders
of
Grace
and
of
Glory
:
Order
,
altogether
singular
,
making
,
and
carrying
a
new
Empire
over
Gods
works
:
Order
,
which
is
conjoyn'd
to
the
order
and
state
of
Hypostaticall
union
:
Order
,
which
hath
a
direct
Reference
to
the
divin
Persons
:
For
as
the
Angells
are
dispos'd
into
Hierarchies
properly
relating
to
the
Divin
Essence
,
according
to
its
distinct
perfections
and
attributes
of
love
,
of
Power
,
of
light
,
&c.
So
also
the
sacred
Virgin
in
her
Order
,
and
in
her
Hierarchie
(
which
she
solely
fills
with
her
Greatness
)
beholds
and
honours
the
state
and
the
proprieties
of
the
Divin
Persons
.
Thus
the
God
of
Heaven
,
who
hath
unity
of
Essence
,
and
plurality
of
Persons
,
hath
divided
the
Celestiall
Court
into
two
different
Quires
:
In
one
of
which
all
the
Angells
(
which
in
number
are
almost
Infinit
,
and
which
are
ranged
in
their
severall
Orders
and
Hierarchies
)
behold
according
to
their
Estate
the
distinct
Perfections
of
the
Divin
Essence
:
In
the
other
,
the
Virgin
alone
in
her
Order
,
(
by
an
Excellency
peculiar
to
her self
alone
)
beholds
according
to
her
new
Estate
the
divin
Persons
,
as
depending
on
their
Personall
Proprieties
:
And
this
sole
Quire
of
the
sacred
Virgin
,
renders
more
homage
,
both
to
the
divin
Essence
,
and
to
the
divin
Persons
,
than
the
Nine
Quires
of
all
the
Angells
together
.

The
Virgin
is
a
singular
work
of
Gods
Power
;
the
holiest
that
ever
shall
be
created
.
The
divin
Paternity
is
the
Samplar
of
this
divin
Maternity
.
The
Eternal
Father
and
the
Son
are
tyed
by
the
Person
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
the
Eternall
Father
and
the
Virgin
are
tyed
by
the
Person
of
the
Son
.
O
God
,
O
All-powerfull
Father
!
who
can
express
,
how
this
Virgin
is
to
you
pretious
and
acceptable
?
You
frame
her
and
sanctify
her
to
be
the
Mother
of
your
only
Son
,
whom
you
will
Incarnate
in
the
world
;
and
you
form
her
in
the
orders
of
Nature
,
of
Grace
,
and
of
Glory
,
as
a
singular
work
of
your
Power
and
Bountie
,
and
the
head-work
of
your
hands
:
You
fashion
her
,
as
the
greatest
,
the
worthiest
,
the
eminentest
subject
of
your
Domination
and
soveraignty
in
the
whol
round
and
Circumference
of
all
your
Creatures
.
For
in
the
Order
and
Existency
of
all
created
Entities
,
God
commands
not
,
nor
ever
will
command
any
thing
greater
,
than
this
greatest
Virgin
;
God
hath
not
yet
made
,
nor
will
hereafter
make
,
any
thing
more
Holy
,
than
this
Holyest
Virgin
.
O
how
highly
is
she
then
to
be
Reverenc'd
in
this
Eminency
and
singularity
of
Grace
,
of
Sanctity
,
of
Power
!
Yet
(
O
Eternall
Father
!
I
again
Reverence
her
in
the
Origin
of
this
Grace
,
which
is
the
design
you
have
to
make
her
a
Mother
to
him
,
to
whom
your self
is
a
Father
.
For
after
you
had
conducted
her
to
the
accomplish'd
point
of
a
singular
Grace
;
you
being
(
at
your
chosen
time
)
to
enter
a
neer
Alliance
with
her
,
separate
her
from
all
things
created
;
you
seat
her
close
to
your
Divinity
;
and
you
unite
your self
to
her
,
as
to
a
Person
,
whom
you
will
have
the
most
intimately
,
and
neerly
conjoyn'd
to
your
own
peculiar
Person
,
of
all
that
ever
shall
have
a
Being
:
And
she
is
thus
joyn'd
to
you
to
co-operate
with
you
in
this
Great
work
;
to
render
you
the
fruit
of
so
close
an
alliance
;
to
give
you
a
son
born
of
her
substance
,
and
having
your
Essence
;
and
to
produce
by
you
,
and
with
you
,
Him
,
who
being
your
only
Son
,
is
also
her
Son
by
a
new
Nativity
.
O
Ineffable
Greatness
!
O
Admirable
sublimity
!
The
Eternall
Father
,
who
contemplating
his
own
Essence
,
produceth
his
Son
;
contemplating
his
own
Paternity
,
Source
of
all
Paternity
,
yea
source
even
of
the
Divinity
,
honours
it
,
Imitates
it
,
and
expresseth
it
in
the
holy
Virgin
;
and
forms
and
produces
in
her
this
admirable
Estate
of
Divin
Maternity
,
which
Adores
the
Father
in
his
Personall
Propriety
;
and
which
gives
him
to
the
Father
,
and
to
the
world
,
who
is
the
life
of
the
Father
,
and
the
health
of
the
world
.
'T
is
in
this
happy
,
great
,
and
gloria
our
Estate
,
O
sacred
Virgin
!
that
the
Eternall
Father
appropriates
you
to
himself
,
and
himself
to
you
;
Renders
himself
all
yours
,
and
renders
you
all
his
own
;
unites
himself
to
you
;
and
you
to
himself
:
And
communicating
to
you
his
Spirit
,
and
his
love
,
makes
you
fruitfull
with
a
divin
fertility
;
and
being
resolv'd
to
have
of
you
,
One
self-same
Son
with
you
,
makes
you
by
this
his
Alliance
to
be
Productrice
to
the
world
and
to
himself
of
Him
,
who
by
this
Birth
,
according
to
the
Angells
saying
is
his
Son
,
and
your
Son
together
.
Your
Son
,
as
issued
from
your
own
proper
substance
:
His
Son
,
as
emanated
from
his
own
proper
vertu
,
and
Power
.
O
Father
!
O
Son
!
O
Mother
!
How
great
and
glorious
things
ought
to
be
spoken
and
thought
of
you
?
The
two
Divin
and
Eternall
Persons
,
the
Father
and
Son
are
divinly
link'd
together
,
and
for
their
link
in
their
Eternity
,
they
have
a
divin
Person
,
to
wit
,
the
Holy
Ghost
equally
proceeding
from
them
both
;
in
whose
unity
they
are
both
Eternally
joyn'd
together
;
And
these
two
sacred
Persons
,
the
Father
,
who
is
in
Heaven
,
and
the
Mother
,
who
is
upon
Earth
,
are
also
holily
link'd
together
,
and
have
in
like
sort
for
the
Tye
of
their
sacred
union
a
divin
Person
;
to
wit
,
One
self-same
only
Son
;
who
proceeds
from
them
both
,
and
who
between
them
both
,
is
this
indissoluble
band
,
whereby
they
are
for
an
Eternity
conjoyn'd
together
.
O
union
!
which
hath
Jesus
for
its
Tye
:
Jesus
,
I
say
,
who
is
the
Center
if
the
Created
and
Increated
Being
:
Jesus
,
in
whom
is
holily
and
happily
terminated
the
union
of
two
natures
;
the
one
human
,
the
other
divin
,
which
establisheth
the
mystery
of
the
Incarnation
;
and
the
uniting
of
two
Persons
,
the
one
likewise
divin
,
the
other
human
,
which
also
establisheth
the
Divin
Maternity
,
wherein
the
sacred
Virgin
is
united
to
the
Father
,
by
the
production
of
Jesus
;
wherein
she
is
link'd
to
him
with
so
neer
a
union
,
so
powerfull
a
union
,
and
so
fertill
a
union
,
that
it
hath
not
its
like
in
the
large
extent
of
all
created
things
.
O
let
's
be
the
Fathers
!
let
's
be
the
Sons
!
let
's
be
the
Mothers
!
And
let
's
honour
the
Father
,
and
the
Son
in
this
Mother
,
who
is
so
nearly
joyn'd
unto
them
both
,
and
who
in
her
Estate
hath
so
close
an
alliance
with
the
Father
,
that
she
conceives
his
Son
,
and
brings
forth
so
worthy
a
fruit
,
so
powerfull
an
effect
,
so
lively
an
Image
of
the
Divine
Paternity
.

The
Eternall
Word
,
who
is
in
Society
with
the
Father
and
Holy
Ghost
before
all
time
,
doth
in
time
enter
League
and
Society
with
the
Virgin
.
AND
you
,
O
Eternall
Word
!
who
being
her
God
;
will
also
become
her
Son
!
What
shall
I
say
,
what
shall
I
do
in
honour
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
Mother
?
You
are
in
unity
and
in
Society
with
the
Father
,
who
produceth
you
,
and
with
the
Holy
Ghost
,
whom
you
produce
,
and
yet
you
will
besides
these
two
divin
and
co-eternall
Persons
enter
into
so
inward
and
honorable
a
band
,
union
,
and
Society
with
a
third
Person
,
with
a
human
Person
,
with
a
temporall
Person
:
you
will
be
the
Virgins
Son
,
as
you
are
the
Son
of
God
;
and
you
will
have
her
,
for
Mother
,
as
you
have
God
for
Father
:
And
by
your
Power
and
Goodness
you
make
her
the
worthy
Mother
of
God
,
by
your
humility
,
you
render
Obedience
to
her
,
and
become
subject
to
her
,
during
your
life
upon
Earth
;
and
trowning
your
own
handy-works
by
your
love
and
wisdom
,
you
in
Heaven
confer
upon
her
such
glory
as
corresponds
to
this
her
sacred
dignity
and
authority
.
Be
you
eternally
bless'd
and
prays'd
O
great
God
;
I
will
for
ever
Reverence
,
both
the
Son
and
the
Mother
:
I
will
Reverence
the
Mother
,
by
reason
of
the
Son
,
and
the
Son
in
the
Mother
;
I
will
Reverence
all
that
which
the
Virgin
is
to
her
Son
,
and
to
her
God
,
and
all
that
which
her
Son
God
is
to
her
.
And
I
will
honour
all
the
mutual
connexions
which
are
unknown
,
and
ineffable
between
the
Son
of
God
and
the
sacred
Virgin
,
as
secrets
of
which
the
Earth
must
remain
ignorant
,
and
which
are
reserv'd
to
the
glory
,
to
the
love
,
and
to
the
light
of
Heaven
.

Renounce

her
power
and
tuition
,
and
no
more
in
my
own
;
In
honour
of
the
power
,
which
Gods
Son
gave
her
over
himself
,
and
of
the
humble
dependency
and
subjection
he
was
pleas'd
to
yeild
unto
her
,
delivering
up
himself
to
her
custody
,
direction
,
and
tutelage
,
during
the
whol
time
of
this
Infancy
and
child-hood
;
I
bequeath
to
her
my
Being
and
my
Living
,
during
the
whol
remainder
of
my
Pilgrimage
upon
Earth
,
with
all
the
conditions
,
circumstances
,
and
appurtenances
which
accompany
the
same
:
I
yeild
up
all
to
her
greatness
,
[
as
much
as
I
can
]
and
dedicate
all
to
her
honour
and
glory
,
for
the
fulfilling
of
all
her
wills
and
powers
over
me
;
In
this
ardour
of
spirit
,
and
to
this
intention
,
I
humbly
address
my self
to
you
,
O
sacred
Virgin
!
and
I
make
here
unto
you
,
an
entire
,
absolute
,
and
irrevocable
Oblation
of
all
that
I
am
[
by
Gods
mercy
]
in
the
Being
,
and
in
the
order
of
Nature
,
and
Grace
,
of
all
that
thereon
depends
,
and
of
all
the
actions
I
shall
ever
perform
;
For
my
will
is
,
that
whatsoever
is
mine
,
be
absolutely
yours
,
and
that
the
power
and
the
grace
which
is
bestow'd
on
me
,
be
employ'd
in
referring
my self
wholy
,
with
all
that
is
in
me
to
your
honour
.
And
I
here
make
choyce
of
you
,
O
holy
Virgin
!
and
I
will
henceforth
look
upon
you
as
the
only
object
whereunto
[
next
after
your
Son
,
and
under
your
Son
]
I
shall
make
the
reference
of
my
soul
and
of
my
life
,
both
interiour
and
exteriour
,
and
generally
of
all
that
any
way
belongs
unto
me
.
12.
This
Oblation
tends
to
the
honour
of
the
Virgins
Elevation
,
and
Depression
in
the
Mysterie
of
the
Incarnation
.
WHilst
I
am
in
these
contemplations
of
you
O
holy
Virgin
!
I
find
that
even
in
the
day
of
your
Greatness
,
you
humble
your self
even
to
the
very
center
of
nothing
,
rendring
your self
then
,
our
lords
servant
when
you
are
declared
his
Mother
;
Wherfore
,
I
honour
in
you
these
two
motions
,
and
these
two
different
qualities
:
I
honour
this
Humiliation
,
and
this
Exaltation
both
together
;
I
honour
both
your
Servitude
,
and
also
your
Mother-hood
:
and
I
reverence
you
as
pronouncing
these
sacred
words
:
Behold
the
handma●d
of
our
lord
:
and
as
receiving
the
effect
of
his
divin
will
,
by
yielding
your self
his
Mother
,
at
the
same
instant
in
which
you
render
and
profess
your self
to
be
his
Servant
:
and
in
honour
of
these
two
different
estates
,
and
of
this
admirable
disposition
,
which
thus
depresseth
and
exalteth
you
;
I
give
up
my self
to
be
for
ever
your
Bond-slave
;
I
put
my
life
and
my
soul
in
an
estate
of
Relation
of
Dependancy
,
and
of
Servitude
in
respect
of
you
:
My
will
is
,
that
my
life
of
Nature
,
and
of
Grace
,
and
all
my
actions
be
yours
in
this
quality
:
as
things
totally
appertaining
to
you
,
by
reason
of
this
my
state
and
condition
of
Servitude
towards
you
.
I
offer
unto
you
my
whol
life
,
and
all
my
actions
in
the
honour
of
your
life
,
and
of
your
actions
towards
your
only
Son
,
and
in
honour
of
your
Sons
actions
towards
you
.
And
could
I
come
to
the
knowledg
of
an
Estate
more
humbling
,
more
subjecting
,
and
more
corresponding
to
the
excesses
of
your
Greatness
,
I
would
most
willingly
embrace
it
:
thereby
to
render
you
more
homage
and
honour
;
and
my
will
is
,
that
in
vertu
of
this
my
present
Intention
,
each
moment
of
my
life
,
and
each
one
of
my
actions
,
belongs
as
much
to
you
,
as
if
I
made
to
you
a
particular
tender
thereof
.
13.
In
the
Virgin
all
is
Great
,
and
particularly
her
Maternity
,
her
Soveraignity
,
her
Sanctity
.
I
Offer
up
also
unto
you
[
O
Virgin
and
Mother
of
God!
]
all
that
I
am
,
all
that
I
have
,
all
that
I
can
,
to
render
homage
to
all
that
you
are
:
For
in
you
all
is
great
,
all
is
holy
,
all
is
worthy
of
singular
Veneration
:
and
you
are
an
abysmus
of
greatnesses
,
and
a
world
of
wonders
,
excellencies
,
and
rarities
,
which
ravish
Heaven
with
their
beauty
,
and
which
the
Earth
neither
knows
nor
can
conceive
.
In
expectation
of
having
these
things
manifested
hereafter
unto
me
;
I
will
stedfastly
behold
,
and
singularly
reverence
your
sacred
Maternity
,
your
glorious
Soveraignty
;
your
great
Sanctity
.
Your
Maternity
,
for
it
unites
you
to
God
by
a
conjunction
appertaining
to
your self
alone
,
and
gives
you
so
eminent
a
degree
of
affinitie
with
him
,
as
no
one
durst
have
imagined
.
Your
Soveraignty
,
for
this
admirable
quality
of
being
Gods
Mother
,
gives
you
not
only
an
Eminency
above
all
Creatures
,
but
also
a
Power
and
Dominion
over
them
all
as
Mother
of
their
Creator
.
And
are
there
any
Spirits
so
little
vers'd
in
the
light
of
our
christian
mysteries
and
so
insensible
of
your
greatness
.
(
O
sacred
Virg
n
!
)
as
to
find
fault
with
this
your
Domination
,
and
contradict
this
sort
of
servitude
,
which
beholds
and
honours
it
in
you
?
let
them
get
forth
of
their
darkness
,
and
rayse
up
themselv's
above
the
shallow
reach
of
their
sense
:
let
them
contemplate
God
and
his
Creatures
,
and
by
the
light
of
the
Creator
they
shall
quickly
discern
that
all
Sanctity
hath
a
certain
degree
of
Greatness
,
of
Dignity
,
and
of
Domination
annexed
unto
it
;
They
shall
perceive
,
that
the
Creatures
as
Creatures
,
are
all
born
in
servitude
;
the
slavery
is
(
as
it
were
)
their
naturall
estate
and
condition
;
and
that
they
are
(
at
least
)
far
nearer
unto
bondage
in
their
lowness
,
than
God
(
in
the
Eminency
of
his
Being
)
was
to
the
Maternity
which
he
gave
unto
you
,
and
whereby
he
was
pleas'd
(
as
it
were
)
to
inclose
and
bound
himself
:
and
yet
he
passes
over
this
Infinit
(
yea
Infinit
times
Infinit
)
distance
which
is
between
the
Created
Being
,
and
the
Being
Increated
,
making
himself
a
Son
to
one
of
his
own
Creatures
,
acknowledging
and
respecting
you
as
his
Mother
,
and
giving
you
a
sweet
,
honourable
,
and
Motherly
power
over
himself
.
And
can
it
then
be
conceiv'd
unjust
,
or
unbeseeming
,
that
to
honour
this
low-stooping
of
God
unto
his
Creature
;
and
this
high-raysing
of
the
Creature
unto
God
;
every
Creature
should
bear
impressed
on
it self
,
the
mark
and
badg
of
its
servitude
towards
this
supream
Dignity
?
Dignity
.
which
God
in
his
wisdom
equally
adornes
,
and
accompanies
with
Power
,
and
with
Sanctity
;
with
Power
,
towards
the
Creatures
;
with
Sanctity
,
towards
God
:
for
if
it
be
good
,
that
God
in
respect
of
us
hath
a
Mother
;
It
is
surely
just
that
in
respect
of
himself
,
he
should
establish
her
in
an
estate
of
high
Power
,
and
admirable
Sanctity
:
and
that
he
should
render
due
honour
to
himself
in
this
dignity
,
which
so
divinly
incloses
him
,
and
so
highly
concerns
him
.
Your
sanctity
also
(
O
Virgin-Mother
!
)
is
incomparable
;
for
the
Holy
of
Holies
,
who
vouchsafes
to
make
you
his
Mother
,
forms
also
for
you
,
a
New
Holyness
(
far
surpassing
all
other
degrees
and
orders
of
Holyness
,
which
he
hath
already
,
or
ever
will
produce
)
to
make
you
therby
worthy
of
so
high
a
preferment
,
and
of
so
holy
an
office
and
employment
:
and
to
settle
you
in
a
glorious
state
,
answearable
to
so
great
a
quality
.
In
the
honour
therfore
of
your
Sanctity
,
of
your
Maternity
,
of
your
Soveraignty
,
I
dedicate
and
consecrate
my self
totally
to
you
,
O
Virgin
of
Virgins
!
Saint
of
Saints
!
Daughter
and
Spouse
of
God
the
Father
;
Mother
and
Servant
of
God
the
Son
;
Temple
and
Sanctuary
of
the
Holy
Ghost
!
My
will
and
desire
is
,
that
you
have
a
speciall
power
over
my
soul
,
over
my
estate
,
over
my
life
,
and
over
my
actions
,
as
over
things
belonging
unto
your self
,
both
by
the
title
of
your
own
Greatness
,
and
also
by
this
new
and
particular
right
,
to
wit
;
in
vertu
of
this
choyce
which
I
now
make
to
depend
hereafter
entirely
upon
your
Sanctity
,
upon
your
Maternity
,
upon
your
Soveraignty
,
by
reason
of
this
my
servitude
,
which
I
now
and
for
ever
present
unto
you
.
14.
It
is
a
small
matter
that
we
make
our
selv's
the
Virgins
Bond-staves
,
and
therefore
we
wish
her
to
employ
her
power
over
us
,
and
that
she
would
vouchsafe
to
make
us
truly
so
.
BUt
yet
all
this
neither
sufficeth
your
Greatness
and
Dignity
,
nor
satisfies
my
affections
and
desires
;
and
therefore
I
make
it
my
humble
Petition
to
you
(
O
sacred
Virgin
,
and
Soveraign
Lady
of
all
hearts
and
souls
,
which
are
consecrated
to
Jesus
!
)
that
you
will
of
your self
vouchsafe
to
take
upon
you
that
power
over
me
,
which
I
cannot
give
you
;
and
that
you
will
render
me
your
own
Bond-slave
in
the
way
your self
best
knows
and
approv's
,
and
which
I
know
not
.
Inclose
me
,
I
beseech
you
,
within
your
power
and
your
priviledges
,
and
make
me
your
own
in
a
particular
manner
,
and
grant
that
I
may
serve
you
,
not
only
by
my
actions
,
but
even
by
the
state
and
condition
of
my
very
Being
,
and
of
my
whol
Life
both
interiour
and
exteriour
.
And
generally
,
I
beseech
you
to
take
me
,
and
treat
me
in
this
World
as
your
slave
,
who
abandons
himself
to
all
your
wills
,
and
delivers
up
himself
to
all
your
powers
,
and
to
all
the
effects
of
your
Greatness
and
Soveraigntie
.
And
I
beseech
you
also
(
O
Jesu●
,
my
Lord
and
my
God!
)
to
consider
me
from
henceforth
,
as
the
Bond-slave
of
your
blessed
Mother
,
in
the
honour
of
her
being
your
Mother
;
and
of
your
being
her
Son
;
and
likewise
in
the
honour
of
this
,
that
she
is
the
only
one
amongst
all
Creatures
,
who
hath
this
admirable
estate
,
and
this
singular
relation
to
you
:
and
I
humbly
beg
of
you
,
that
in
this
quality
you
will
vouchsafe
me
a
share
in
your
eternall
way
's
and
mercyes
.
AMEN
.
A
concluding
Prayer
to
the
sacred

;
and
I

THE
THIRD
APPENDIX
JOSEPH
;
OR
,
Devotions
to
S.
Joseph
,
the
Glorious
Husband
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
and
reputed
Father
of
Christ
Jesus
.
With
Elevations
unto
him
.
THE
many
Excellencies
,
Priviledges
,
and
Prerogatives
of
Saint
Joseph
,
are
largely
deduced
by
severall
Learned
Writers
:
Out
of
Whom
,
these
few
following
are
selected
,
wherupon
to
ground
our
Devotion
to
this
great
Saint
;
and
to
lay
a
foundation
for
the
ensuing
affective
Acts
,
and
Elevations
.
1.
Saint
Joseph
,
was
sanctifi'd
in
his
Mothers
womb
:
Which
favour
seems
(
in
some
sort
)
due
to
him
,
who
was
to
have
so
neer
a
relation
to
the
Word
Incarnate
,
(
the
Source
and
Origin
of
all
sanctity
)
and
who
was
design'd
from
all
Eternity
,
in
the
Conclave
of
the
Adorable
Trinity
,
to
be
the
President
of
Gods
great
Councill
of
State
upon
Earth
,
the
Angell
Guardian
of
the
Queen
of
Angells
,
the
reputed
Father
,
and
the
reall
Fosterer
,
Nurser
,
Conductor
,
and
Governor
of
JESVS
,
the
worlds
Messias
,
and
the
Head
of
his
holy
Family
.
Now
since
Gods
Family
consisted
only
of
two
Persons
,
Jesus
and
Mary
,
who
were
of
more
worth
and
dignity
,
than
all
the
rest
of
Heavenly
and
Earthly
Creatures
together
;
it
was
convenient
that
He
,
who
was
to
govern
them
,
should
also
resemble
them
in
Greatness
,
Dignity
,
and
Sanctity
,
and
consequently
that
he
should
possess
in
some
measure
(
by
an
anticipated
pardon
of
his
Originall
sin
,
and
by
an
advanced
favour
of
sanctifying
Grace
)
that
Puritie
which
the
Son
possessed
by
Nature
,
and
the
Mother
by
Priviledge
.
2.
He
was
the
next
after
the
sacred
Virgin
,
who
made
an
express
Vow
and
promise
to
God
of
Perpetuall
virginity
.
And
this
Resolution
,
Intention
,
and
Promise
both
of
Her
,
and
Him
,
was
reveal'd
to
each
other
respectively
,
and
renewed
by
them
jointly
,
before
they
were
contracted
together
by
formall
Matrimony
.
For
how
els
could
Blessed
Mary
(
who
had
oblig'd
her self
to
virginall
Integrity
)
have
consented
(
either
in
Prudence
or
Justice
)
to
give
the
Power
over
her
body
to
a
person
,
of
whose
Chastity
she
might
be
ignorant
,
or
doubtfull
of
his
Constancie
?
Surely
,
the
known
Purity
of
her
Chast
Bridegroom
,
gave
her
the
confidence
to
treat
and
converse
with
him
,
as
securely
as
she
did
with
the
holy
Seraphins
.
3.
He
no
sooner
perceiv'd
his
Blessed
Spouse
to
be
bigg
with
child
,
but
he
cast
about
how
he
might
handsomly
retreat
from
her
company
:
not
as
harbouring
the
least
doubt
or
distrust
of
her
Innocency
,
(
being
more
certain
of
her
Invisible
Chastity
,
than
of
her
visible
appearing
to
be
with
child
;
and
knowing
that
it
was
more
easy
for
a
Virgin
to
conceive
,
than
for
Mary
to
deceive
him
,
or
distain
her
own
honour
)
:
But
out
of
a
deep
and
humble
sense
of
his
due
respect
towards
her
Son
and
her self
;
as
judging
himself
altogether
unworthy
to
contemplate
with
his
eyes
,
and
carry
in
his
arms
the
Divin
Word
Incarnate
,
and
to
converse
intimately
and
familiarly
with
the
glorious
Mother
of
this
God
Man
,
who
was
shorthly
after
to
be
born
into
the
World
.
4.
He
govern'd
Gods
Family
for
above
thirty
years
space
.
As
the
Divin
Providence
hath
establish'd
three
Orders
in
the
World
;
That
of
Nature
,
that
of
Grace
,
and
that
of
Hypostaticall
Vnion
:
So
he
hath
chosen
and
appointed
three
sorts
of
servants
for
the
conduct
and
government
of
these
Orders
.
The
Angells
serve
him
in
the
order
of
Nature
;
the
Apostles
in
the
order
of
Grace
;
but
he
chose
S.
Joseph
alone
,
(
after
the
sacred
Virgin
)
to
serve
him
in
the
third
Order
,
which
is
that
of
Jesus
in
the
ineffable
Mysterie
of
his
Incarnation
.
O
the
Excellency
,
the
Eminencie
,
the
Greatness
of
Saint
Joseph
!
O
his
honour
and
happyness
,
to
enjoy
so
long
the
Innocent
embraces
of
Jesus
in
his
Childhood
!
The
holy
Entertainments
of
Jesus
in
his
riper
years
!
The
divin
actions
,
examples
,
and
instructions
of
Jesus
in
his
perfect
age
!
And
to
live
so
long
in
company
and
conversation
with
the
most
holy
and
accomplish'd
Princess
that
ever
was
!
5.
He
(
together
with
his
sacred
Spouse
)
circumcis'd
Jesus
,
in
the
Stable
of
Bethleem
,
eight
day
's
after
his
Birth
into
the
world
;
and
(
according
to
the
divin
Order
and
command
,
which
was
signifi'd
unto
him
by
an
Angelicall
Messenger
)
impos'd
upon
him
that
glorious
name
of
JESUS
.
6.
He
nourish'd
,
fed
,
and
maintain'd
Him
,
with
the
sweat
of
his
brows
,
and
labour
of
his
hands
;
who
,
affords
food
and
sustenance
to
all
living
Creatures
.
And
cloathed
him
,
who
furnished
the
Lillyes
,
Roses
,
and
flowers
of
the
Field
,
with
all
their
beautifull
Robes
and
Ornaments
.
7.
He
was
(
in
some
sort
)
the
saver
of
his
Saviour
,
by
sheltring
little
Jesus
from
Herods
rage
and
crueltie
,
and
stepping
aside
with
him
into
Egypt
,
whilst
the
Innocents
,
bought
the
palm
of
Martyrdom
with
the
price
of
their
blood
.
8.
He
commanded
him
,
who
commands
all
earthly
Princes
and
Monarchs
;
and
had
him
obedient
to
the
beck
of
his
hand
,
to
the
nod
of
his
head
,
to
the
twinkle
of
his
eye
,
and
to
the
sound
of
his
voyce
,
before
whom
the
Powers
of
Heaven
fall
down
and
tremble
.
O
the
admirable
power
of
S.
Joseph
!
O
the
adorable
subjection
of
Jesus
!
O
the
sublim●tie
of
Joseph
,
to
command
Jesus
!
O
the
Humility
of
Jesus
,
to
obey
Joseph
!
9.
He
possessed
and
practis'd
all
vertues
in
their
perfection
,
especially
Humility
,
as
being
to
passe
the
remainder
of
his
days
in
her
company
,
who
being
the
greatest
,
was
the
most
humble
of
all
pure
creatures
;
And
in
his
companie
,
who
being
the
Son
of
the
most
high
,
made
himself
the
least
,
and
lowest
amongst
the
Sons
of
men
.
Nor
can
S.
Josephs
vertues
,
perfections
,
and
Greatnesses
,
be
comprehended
and
measur'd
by
any
better
means
than
by
the
greatnesses
of
Jesus
and
Mary
,
to
whom
he
was
so
strictly
allied
;
For
he
w●…
Mary's
true
Husband
,
and
consequently
the
true
and
legall
(
though
not
the
carnall
and
naturall
)
Father
o●
Jesus
.
O
what
Communications
o●
affections
,
what
extasies
of
spirit
,
what
unions
of
hearts
,
was
there
amongst
these
Three
,
JESUS
,
MARIA
JOSEPH
?
Now
since
God
give
grace
proportionable
to
each
one
place
,
vocation
,
and
office
;
surely
a
S.
Joseph's
Office
was
exceeding
great
so
was
his
grace
,
vertu
,
and
perfection
great
,
excellent
,
and
heroique
.
10.
He
was
(
as
the
Fathers
pioufly
and
probably
believe
)
elevated
to
Heaven
,
both
in
Body
and
Soul
,
upon
the
day
of
his
glorious
Sons
triumphan●
Ascension
,
and
remains
there
inthron'd
next
to
the
Humanity
of
Jesus
and
the
Virgin
Mary
,
in
the
Celestiall
Kingdom
;
as
he
was
neerest
and
dearest
unto
them
.
during
the
time
o●
their
earthly
Pilgrimage
.
11.
He
is
the
faithfull
,
powerfull
,
and
charitable
Protector
and
Advocate
of
his
devout
children
and
clients
in
the
Court
of
Heaven
;
as
having
so
great
credit
with
his
Son
King
Jesus
and
his
Spouse
Queen
Mary
,
that
his
demands
may
seem
(
in
some
sort
)
to
be
commands
,
and
his
Petitions
being
presented
to
the
Throne
of
Mercy
,
with
a
Fathers
confidence
and
authority
,
will
not
easily
be
rejected
by
Jesus
in
Heaven
,
who
was
so
obedient
to
Joseph
upon
Earth
.
12.
He
is
the
chief
Patron
of
all
Contemplatives
,
and
the
Great
Master
,
Guide
and
Director
;
of
the
Interiour
,
hidden
,
and
Spirituall
life
.
S.
Teresa
happily
experienc'd
this
verity
;
and
frequently
expressed
it
,
saying
;
They
that
cannot
meet
with
a
Master
to
instruct
them
in
the
manner
of
their
Prayer
;
Let
them
take
the
Glorious
Saint
Joseph
for
their
Teacher
and
Tutor
,
and
they
shall
infallibly
find
the
safe
and
secure
way
to
solid
Sanctity
and
perfection
.

ELEVATIONS

Iesus

.
In
honour
and
homage
to
the
Glorious
Trinity
in
Heaven
,
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
.
O
JESU
,
Son
of
the
living
God
,
and
Saviour
of
the
World
!
O
Mary
,
Mother
of
Jesus
,
and
Mediatrix
of
Mankind
!
O
Joseph
.
Bridegroom
of
Mary
,
and
esteemed
Father
of
Jesus
!
O
sacred
Trinity
,
Jesus
,
Maria
,
Joseph
!
I
honour
you
,
reverence
you
,
admire
you
in
your
excellent
,
eminent
,
sublime
Greatnesses
,
in
which
you
seem
to
be
an
express
Image
of
the
Incomprehensible
Trinity
:
and
I
adhere
to
you
in
union
of
the
perfect
homages
,
which
you
rendred
to
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
by
your
high
Estate
,
and
holy
operations
.
The
deep
Mystery
of
the
divin
Trinity
,
is
Invisible
to
our
eyes
,
Ineffable
to
our
Tongues
,
Incomprehensible
to
our
Spirits
;
And
behold
,
the
poor
Bethleem
stable
,
affoards
us
a
human
Trinity
;
Jesus
,
Maria
,
Joseph
,
uppon
Earth
;
which
views
,
adores
,
and
Imitates
the
Trinity
of
the
Empireall
Heaven
;
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
.
This
,
is
Increated
;
that
,
is
both
created
,
and
Increated
,
in
the
Person
of
the
God-Man
Jesus
.
This
is
divin
,
and
Eternall
;
That
is
Deifi'd
and
temporall
.
The
one
is
Adorable
;
the
other
honorable
.
The
one
is
admirable
in
its
greatness
;
The
other
amiable
in
its
sweetness
:
In
the
one
,
is
a
unity
of
Essence
in
a
Trinity
of
Persons
:
In
the
other
,
is
a
union
of
Love
,
of
Grace
,
and
of
Spirit
,
in
a
Trinity
of
Essence
and
of
Persons
.
In
the
Divin
Trinity
the
Father
begets
his
Son
in
Eternity
;
In
the
other
,
by
a
reverted
order
,
the
Son
gives
Being
in
Time
,
both
to
the
Father
,
and
to
the
Mother
.
In
the
first
,
the
Father
and
the
Son
,
and
the
Father
by
the
Son
,
produces
the
holy
Ghost
in
unity
of
origin
;
In
the
second
,
Jesus
and
Mary
,
and
Jesus
by
Mary
,
gives
the
Life
and
Being
of
Grace
to
Joseph
in
the
unitie
of
spirit
.
So
that
Mary
hath
an
admirable
resemblance
to
the
Eternall
Father
;
the
Son
of
Mary
hath
an
express
unity
with
himself
;
and
S.
Joseph
represents
the
Holy
Ghost
.
For
the
Father
in
Heaven
,
is
the
only
Parent
without
a
Mother
;
and
Mary
upon
Earth
,
is
the
only
Parent
without
a
Father
:
And
as
nothing
greater
can
be
attributed
to
God
,
than
his
being
the
Father
of
a
God
;
so
nothing
more
sublime
can
befall
a
pure
creature
,
than
to
be
the
Mother
of
the
same
God
,
whereof
God
is
Father
.
The
Holy
Ghost
is
the
sacred
knot
and
Tye
of
the
divin
Persons
;
And
Joseph
hath
a
union
with
Mary
as
his
Spouse
,
and
with
Jesus
as
his
Father
:
The
Holy
Ghost
form'd
Jesus
in
the
Virginall
Cloyster
of
Maryes
Womb
;
And
Joseph
fed
him
,
educated
him
,
and
preserv'd
for
us
,
(
far
more
fortunately
than
the
ancient
Joseph
of
Egypt
●
)
this
Bread
of
the
Elect
,
this
blessed
pledg
of
our
future
happiness
,
this
Eternall
Bliss
of
Men
and
Angells
.
Wherfore
,
O
Jesu
!
We

,
honour
,
and
adore
you
,
in
your

heights
and
greatnesses

you

in
your
temporall
humiliations
&
sweetnesses
:

you
in
Heaven
with
the
Eye
of
Faith
,
betwen
the
Father
and
the
holy
Ghost
:
We
admire
you
upon
Earth
,
between
Mary
and
Joseph
;
And
I
invite
and
conjure
all
Creatures
to
prayse
,
bless
,
and
adore
your
divin
Majesty
,
in
both
these
estates

you
,
with
the
singular
homage
of
Hyperdulia
,
which
is
due
to
your
Excellencies
and
Greatnesses
.
O
Joseph
!
I
likewise
honour
you
,
as
the
reputed
Father
of
Jesus
,
and
Bridegroom
of
Mary
:
and
in

of
these
two
Eminent
qualities
;
I
subject
my self
to
the
power
which
is
given

my

as
your
servant
and
bondslave
,
to

O

in
my
Soul
,
and
exercise
the
absolute
power
you
have
over
my
spirit
.
O

possess
my

and
my

,
to

take
my
Body

O

annihilate
and
absorp
my
soul
in
your
affection
;
O

Inflame
my
heart
with
the
love
of

Bless

For

You

are
the
Fountain
issuing
forth
of
the
Terrestriall
Paradise
(
Mary's
Virginall
Womb
)
is
the
Origin
of
all
our
happiness
:
you
,
O
Mary

are
the
Prime
Bason
of
this
Fountain
,
and
the
pure
Glebe
from
whence
it
proceeded
.
And
you
O

are
the
River
,
who
disperse
abroad
these
waters
of

by

.
O

you

the

a

The
Practicall
manner
of
performing
the
aforesaid
Roman
Stations
,
and
gaining
these
Indulgences
with
ease
and
efficacy
,
may
be
briefly
thus
:
1.
Begin
with
the
sign
of
the
Cross
,
as
formerly
in
all
your
other
devotions
,
and
Spirituall
exercises
.
2.
Then
with
an
humble
and
penitent
heart
,
make
this
following
Act
of
Contrition
;
Thereby
to
settle
your
Soul
in
the
state
of
Grace
;
which
is
a
necessary
condition
for
the
gaining
of
all
Indulgences
.
O
my
good
Lord
Jesu
!
who
art
the
Lord
of
my
life
,
and
shouldst
be
the
love
of
my
Soul
,
did
I
not
like
an
ungracious
,
and
ungratefull
wretch
,
give
my
heart
,
and
sell
my
affection
to
fond
,
frail
,
filthy
,
and
fading
Creatures
and
comforts
,
which
are
so
far
from
affording
me
either
quiet
of
mind
,
peace
of
Conscience
,
purity
of
Soul
,
or
perfection
of
spirit
,
which
my
obligation
,
and
vocation
require
of
me
;
that
they
leave
me
nothing
but
trouble
,
confusion
,
and
remorse
,
with
a
world
of
dismall
and
desperate
thoughts
,
violent
passions
,
and
vicious
inclinations
.
Amidst
all
which
disorders
,
I
find
no
other
Refuge
,
nor
Remedy
,
than
to
return
to
you
,
my
true
Center
,
to
convert
my self
to
you
my
Soveraign
Creator
,
To
cast
my self
at
your
sacred
feet
;
my
sweet
Lord
Jesu
!
And
there
with
an
humble
and
contrite
Spirit
,
to
sue
for
Mercy
,
Remission
,
Reconciliation
.
O
Heavenly
Father
!
I
confess
and
acknowledge
my
ingratitude
,
treachery
,
rebellion
;
and
I
am
sorry
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
soul
,
that
ever
I
offended
you
,
who
deserve
from
me
all
possible
love
,
honour
,
and
obedience
;
beseeching
you
,
(
as
a
guilty
Criminall
)
to
take
compassion
upon
your
poor
and
penitent
creature
;
and
to
forgive
me
the
great
and
grievous
transgressions
,
and
offences
,
which
I
have
committed
against
your
divin
bounty
,
as
I
do
(
for
the
love
of
you
,
my
Lord
and
Maker
!
)
most
freely
forgive
all
those
that
have
any
way
offended
,
distasted
,
contristated
,
or
scandaliz'd
me
;
sincerely
knowing
,
that
I
deserve
no
comfort
from
any
creature
,
but
all
contempt
,
and
confusion
;
and
not
only
to
be
troubled
,
and
trampled
on
by
all
on
earth
temporally
;
but
even
to
be
tormented
by
the
Devills
in
Hell
eternally
.
Ha
Crucifi'd
Jesu
!
take
pity
on
my
soul
,
for
which
you
powred
forth
your
sacred
blood
,
and
gave
up
your
dearest
life
on
the
Cross
.
Alas
!
How
ungratefull
a
child
have
I
been
,
to
offend
so
frequently
,
so
heynously
,
so
disloyally
,
so
loving
,
and
liberall
a
Father
,
so
meek
,
and
mercifull
a
Redeemer
,
and
so
sweet
and
soveraign
a
Majesty
?
who
hath
always
shew'd
himself
to
me
so
benign
and
bountifull
;
sparing
me
in
my
sins
,
and
expecting
me
to
Repentance
;
wooing
me
to
his
love
,
and
calling
me
to
his
service
by
a
thousand
means
;
all
which
I
have
either
rejected
or
neglected
;
and
still
nevertheless
continuing
unto
me
my
life
,
time
,
and
means
to
do
penance
!
Oh
,
my
poor
soul
!
How
hast
thou
been
blinded
,
and
bewitched
,
to
leave
the
Bread
of
Angells
,
and
to
feed
on
the
husks
of
Swin
;
to
abandon
God
and
all
solid
goodness
,
(
upon
whom
depends
all
thy
hope
and
happiness
,
all
thy
quiet
,
content
,
and
comfort
in
time
and
eternity
)
for
trifling
vanities
,
empty
shadows
,
meer
nothings
?
O
strange
folly
and
s●ensy
!
would
I
had
never
sinned
!
and
oh
,
that
I
might
never
sin
more
!
O
my
God!
what
have
I
done
,
and
not
don
?
would
I
had
suffered
on
the
Cross
,
(
with
you
my
sweet
Saviour
,
and
for
your
love
)
pains
of
body
,
pangs
of
Soul
,
and
even
death
it self
,
when
I
thus
grievously
sinned
!
And
what
can
I
say
or
do
more
?
I
abhor
and
detest
whatsoever
I
have
don
,
said
,
thought
or
desired
contrary
to
your
divin
will
and
liking
.
I
rencunce
all
company
,
and
occasions
which
may
induce
me
to
offend
you
.
I
cast
my self
at
your
sacred
feet
,
to
be
your
faithfull
Bondslave
for
ever
.
I
firmly
resolve
to
take
up
my
Cross
,
and
carry
it
after
you
(
dear
Jesu
!
)
till
death
,
and
to
do
penance
and
satisfaction
for
my
past
pride
,
pleasure
,
and
impiety
,
desiring
no
more
in
this
world
,
but
to
linger
out
my
pilgrimage
at
the
foot
of
the
Cross
,
like
the
Penitent
Magdalen
,
in
perpetuall
solitude
,
silence
,
and
submission
.
Good
Jesu
!
for
your
infinit
Mercy
's
and
Merits
sake
,
suffer
not
your
poor
creature
to
be
separated
from
you
eternally
.
O
amiable
Eternity
!
O
Eternall
amity
of
God!
Shall
I
leave
and
loose
thee
for
filthy
pleasures
,
frail
creatures
,
fond
friendships
,
fading
honors
?
No
,
my
dear
Lord
!
Be
pleased
rather
to
take
my
Soul
out
of
my
body
▪
than
your
love
out
of
my
Soul
;
Let
me
rather
dy
miserably
,
than
sin
mortally
;
Let
me
pass
on
the
rest
of
my
pilgrimage
in
your
grace
and
fear
;
that
I
may
fi●ish
it
in
your
friendship
and
favour
.
Grant
me
this
,
I
beseech
you
,
O
meek
,
and
mercifull
Saviour
!
by
the
merits
of
your
bitter
Death
and
Passion
,
by
the
intercession
of
your
most
blessed
Mother
,
by
the
suffrages
of
all
your
holy
Saints
in
Heaven
,
and
happy
Souls
upon
Earth
.
Upon
all
which
relying
,
as
upon
the
Anchors
of
my
Hope
;
I
absolutely
commit
and
resign
my self
to
your
sacred
disposition
and
providence
for
time
and
eternity
;
fully
trusting
,
that
you
will
marcifully
pardon
all
my
sins
▪
carefully
assist
me
in
all
my
wants
and
weaknesses
,
and
in
the
end
happily
bring
me
to
your
Eternall
bliss
and
beatitude
by
such
means
as
your
divin
Wisdom
knows
most
expedient
for
me
.
