Certain devout and Godly Petitions, commonly called. jesus Psalter.  
IT is to understand, that there be three manner of Psalters.  
The first is called David's Psalter, which containeth thrice Fifty Psalms. The second is called the Psalter of our Lady, containing thrice thirty Aves. The third is called the Psalter of jesus, or the invocation of jesus, containing xv. principal petitions, which x. times repeated, make also thrice thirty. In the which Psalter and invocation, is the glorious name of our Saviour jesus called upon iiij. C. and thirty times. whosoever useth to say it, trust they verily, that they shall find thereby special help to resist tentation, and have increase of grace & virtue by the singular help of jesus. Of this blessed name S. Peter in the Acts of the Apostles saith: There is none other name under heaven given to men, in the which it behoveth us to be saved.  
And our Saviour saith in the Gospel of Saint John, that we should make our petitions in his name, which is the Mediator of our salvation, whose glorious vision and most amorous fruition in the celestial glory shall be our perpetual joy and incomprehensible consolation.  
Here is to be noted (as it is said before) that the xv. principal petitions must be said each one by themself, ten times, like as they shall be set forth in this book by order. And ye may say them upon your ten fingers, or upon ten beads, or else read them as they be written, and it is good for them that can not read, to learn these invocations without book.  
Begin your Psalter with devout genuflexion, or at leastwise with inclinalion to jesus: & say thus, as followeth.

Thus endeth this Psalter.   

An Admonition.  
Unto such, as have none opportunity to say the whole Psalter together, it is good that they say the first u petitions one day, and the second u another day, and the last u another day, & so in three days they shall say the whole Psalter. But else if they may have convenient time, it is better to say the xv. principal petitions every day, & each of them x. times, with In nomine jesu, in the beginning, Pater nost. ave Maria. & at every fifth, like as it is written in the book, with Dominus noster, Pater noster. ave Maria. Credo.   

Here followeth a wholesome doctrine, how to resist & overcome the ghostly temptations of the Fende.  
Doctors do writ, that in spiritual temptations we should behave overselfe other wise, than in carnal temptations. For carnal temptations we aught to resist & wrestle with them: but we may not do so in spiritual temptations. wisely and discreetly we must resist them, but in no wise wrestle with them: as thus. when the enemy purteth a motion of infidelity, reason not with him: & likewise when he casteth a suggestion of desperation, strive not with him, but use this medicine.  
Suspend your reason, restrain all your senses, and pluck up all your spirits: & as the motion cometh, so let it pass, without sirife. If it be only of the disposition of our corrupt nature, this is sufficient, if it be used. If it come of the enemy, he will not leave so, but he will cleave otherwise, & work more trouble. Than after the counsel of Doctors, use this remedy: Dissunble, & show yourself to set it at naught, though it be great: & lift up your mind to God, remembering his tender mercy in the redemption of man, and how it is his ordinance, with such temptations and pains to prove his servants, to whom be intendeth to give the crown of glory. But if the enemy be fierce and will not cease for this (as he is most subtle and crafty) than meek your self to God, & offer yourself to suffer for his love (& for the fruit of penance for your sins) gladly & with thanks of heart, all pains, that it shall please his grace to send you. And with that, call & cry with heart & word on the holy name of jesus x. times, or more or less, as your devotion serveth, with some holy & sweet meditation of reverence to the same, as God shall put in your mind. This virtue of meekness, & confession of the name of jesus in heart & word, the enemy may not abide. For although for a time he will pretend & semble, as though he were not abashed for that virtue & name, as the Serpent, of which Scripture saith, that for a time she will stop her ears, & yet by the word of the enchanter in conclusion she is overcome & taken: so certanily the enemy (the holy name named) is overcome, although he will not be known, but sometime will make insurrection more fiercely, after that holy name spoken. Then strongly pursue him with the same, & with meekness, & ye shall see, how he will flee: to the great comfort of all them, that abide as true servants perseverant in this their proof, to their great triumph, and utter confusion of the enemy. This hath been proved by experience.  

A Narration.  
A certain person there was, which by the space of two years & more was troubled with such motions oftentimes by water & by land. He had motions to desperation, & to the most abominable that may be, to destroy himself both by water, & otherwise. And this said person ceased not, but called to God daily, to strength him, ever confessing himself his servant, & the worshipper of the holy name of jesus, committing himself only & wholly to the Passion of Christ & mercy of God. And soon after the said time he had comfort, & was illumined or lightened in his soul, how to answer the enemy: to his great comfort, & to the edifying of other, & that was thus. It was given to him by a light, that when soever such a motion came to his mind, he should take the motion for an occasion of remembrance to honour the Passion of Christ, & his blessed Mother the glorious Virgin Marie.  
And although that it came to his mind an hundred times in the day, so often to say: Adoramus te, Christ jesus: & to the Mother of mercy, ave Maria. And thus the person was clean delivered from his great tentation & trouble, to the great increase of hope in his soul, to the utter drtuig away of the enemy, & to the glory of God: to whom be all honour and praise, world without end, Amen.   
Finis.
