Blesse, O my soule, the Lord: and do not forget all his favours. He forgives all thy iniquities: he heales all thy infirmities. He redeemes thy life from ruin: he crownes thee with mercy and commiseration. He fils thy desires with what is good: thy youth like that of the eagle shal be renewed. The Lord is he who does mercy: and does justice to those who suffer wrong. The merciful and pitying Lord: the long sufferer and most mighty merciful. He will not continue his anger for ever: neither wil he threaten for ever. He has not dealt with us in proportion to our sins: nor has he rendred unto us according to our offences. Because according to the distance of heaven from earth: so has he enforced his mercies upon those who feare him. As far distant as the east is from the west: so far has he divided our offences from us. After the manner that a father takes pity of his sons; so has the Lord taken pity of those who feare him: because he knows what we are made of. He remembers that we are but dust: man like hey such are his days: like the flower in the field so wil he fade away. Because his breath wil passe away through him, and he wil not be able to subsist: and it wil find no longer its owne place. But the mercy of the Lord is from all eternity: and will be for ever upon those who feare him. And his justice comes upon the children of their children: to those who keep his wil. And are mindful of his commandements: to performe them. The Lord in heaven has prepared himselfe a throne: and his kingdom shall reign over all. Blesse yee the Lord all yee angels of his, yee who are powerful in strength: who execute his commands, at the hearing of his voice when he speakes. Blesse yee the Lord all yee vertues of his: yee ministers who execute his wil. Blesse yee the Lord all yee works of his throughout all places of his dominion: my soule praise thou the Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, and now, and ever: and for ever and ever. Amen. Wee humbly implore, O merciful God, thy infinit clemency: that as we come to thee with a confident soule, and sincere faith, and a pious assurance of mind: with the like devotion thy beleevers may follow on these tokens of thy grace. May all superstition be banished hence, far be all suspicion of any diabolical fraud, and to the glory of thy name let all things succeede: to the end thy beleevers may understand thee to be the dispenser of all good; and may be sensible and publish, that whatsoever is profitable to soul or body, is derived from thee: through Christ our Lord. Amen. _These prayers being said, the king’s highnes rubbeth the rings between his hands, saying:_
