Note 382 — TABLE DES MATIÈRES CONTENUES DANS LE DEUXIÈME VOLUME.

: Eternal God, Almighty Father of thousand angels, by whose care and providence I am preserved and blessed, comforted and assisted, I humbly beg of thee to pardon the sins and follies of this day, the weakness of my services, and the strength of my passions, the rashness of my words, and the vanity and evil of my actions. O just and dear God, how long shall I confess my sins, and pray against them, and yet fall under them? O let it be so no more; let me never return to the follies of which I am ashamed, which bring sorrow and death, and thy displeasure, worse than death. Give me a command over my evil inclinations and a perfect hatred of sin, and a love to thee above all the desires of this world. Be pleased to bless and preserve me this night from all sin and violence of chance, and the malice of the spirits of darkness: watch over me in my sleep, and, whether I sleep or wake, let me be thy servant. Be thou first and last in all my thoughts and the guide and continual assistance of all my actions. Preserve my body, pardon the sin of my soul, and sanctify my spirit. Let me always live holily and justly and soberly; and, when I die, receive my soul into thy hands.
