Translated out of a fair Greek MS. of His Amanuensis. By R.D. B.D. LONDON, Printed by W.D. for Humphrey Moseley at the Prince's Arms in S. Paul's Churchyard. MDCXLVIII. TO HIS HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES. SIR, IT was the special Command of Your Roia&Father, our most Gracious Sovereign, to the Bishops of London and Elie, now with God, to take care that, of the innumerable Papers of This Reverend Prelate, none should be committed to the Press, but such as They found perfected by His accurate hand. In prosecution whereof we are much bound to Their care and faithfulness for the communication of His Incomparable Sermons & Discourses, which now enrich the World with Piety and Learning; and put it to the wonder to see the Quintessence of the Fathers & School distilled through His Limbeck, in so fit language and expressions, to the great advantage of the Church of God. Why This most excellent Piece of His Devotions was not by Them presented with the rest, the Language, wherein it was conceived and used by Him, will give abundant satisfaction to Your Highness. His Greek had been but a Barbarian unto them, whose benefit was chief intended in all the Publications of His Works. Nor is Your Highness now to be assured, that They, who were employed in that service, were Wise and Honourable Persons, that They well knew Their Work, and did it. And truly, SIR, the Commands of His Majesty shall ever be so sacred to me, and the Judgement of Those Reverend Prelates so much esteemed by me, that I should not have presumed on this essay, had not the Honour of This Renowned Bishop been eclipsed, by obtruding on the World some broken parcels, miserably defaced by a careless Press, under the glorious Name of Bishop Andrews. If this be thought no sufficient ground for this high presumption, I shall proceed in my presumption on Your Highness, to be a Mediator to Your most Glorious Father, for His Gracious Pardon to a sinner, who, not being without great hopes of advancing Piety by his sin, is confident of obtaining Your Princely Interposition that it is Felix Error. And that, the benefit hereof so much redounding to the Glory of God, by promoting Christian people in Devotion, it would have been a greater sin against the Public, to detain so precious a Jewel from improvement: It being the peculiar happiness of Sacred Commodities, to be made better by their using. And to whom should Devotion address herself for Patronage, in this Age of Irreligion and Profaneness; in this great invasion upon God, the King, the Church, and whatsoëver is called Holy, if not to Your Highness? It will be no sin in us, to look for the righting and maintenance of them all, from Your Princely Arm, assisted with the Power of Heaven. Ride on, Great Prince, upon the Horses of Salvation, and the Lord of Hosts sight your battles. May the Sword of the LORD and Prince CHARLES be mighty in operation, for the Redemption of His Sacred Majesty, and the Restitution of This Church and Kingdom to Their ancient Liberty and Glory. May Honour, Prosperity and Peace so accompany and crown Your Pious, Christian, and Princely undertake, that our eyes may once more see the King upon His Throne, gloriously triumphing in the Affections of His Subjects, happily united in the indissoluble bonds of Love and Loyalty. This is the sum of all our desires, and the daily Prayer of him, whose highest ambition is, not to be utterly uncapable of doing service to the Church of God, and of approving himself, SIR, Your Highness' most humble, and most loially devoted Orator and Servant, RICHARD DRAKE. TO THE CHRISTIAN READER. AMong the many blessings, for which I am eternally indebted to Heaven, I ever highly esteemed the possession of This precious treasure, This sacred Relic of the most Reverend Bishop Andrews. Which, being used by Him, in His most secret conference with His God, not only acquaints us with the Devotion of His soul, but also gives us an example, how Earth may traffic and communicate with Heaven. Had you seen the Original Manuscript, happy in the glorious deformity thereof, being slubbered with His pious hands, and watered with His penitential tears, you would have been forced to confess That Book belonged to no other than pure and Primitive Devotion. Of that having had the happiness to obtain a Copy under the fair hand of His Amanuensis, I should not so long have detained from you the Communication thereof, but that some reasonable and just arguments effectually prevailed with me. But at last, finding a great invasion made upon His honour, I resolved to pay my due respects to His precious memory, and to exercise so much Charity, which I had learned from His Devotions, toward others, as not to engross to my own private use and benefit, what I was confident would be most serviceable and welcome to the Church of God. From the general inspection of these His set and sacred Forms, as you are convinced of His Piety, so you may learn His Judgement concerning Ex tempore Conceptions, and undigested Prayers. I am confident He had as great abilities of expressing himself to purpose without premeditation, as any Rabbie that pretends to the highest pitch of Inspiration. But His Devotion had not taught Him to cast off His Humility; nor was He so little acquainted with His God and Himself, as not to know His distance and to keep it. It had been a sin to Him to appear before His God empty, or with that which cost Him nothing. There is too much of a Pharisee in him that dares trust to his Memory, his Fancy, or Invention before the Majesty of Heaven; when even his most premeditated & weighed thoughts, though clothed in the best attire of language, would be esteemed by himself too too unworthy to be offered to his Prince. And yet such is the irreligion of this Age, the most High God must take up and be content with that homely entertainment, which my Lord or Lady, forsooth, would not receive from their most faithful servant without great scorn and indignation. But it is the highest pitch of sacrilege to make the Scripture patronise Impiety. They abuse the Text and the Apostle, that urge His, I will pray with the spirit, to justify Enthusiasm in Praijing, unless they will, what never any brainsick novelist attempted, interpret to us, I will sing with the spirit, with their extemporary Music. His Reading had not taught this learned Father to make such wild conclusions; Nor would His Piety pcrmit Him to licence them to others, or Himself. Hence is it that, in His addresses to His God, His Heart was kindled, first, with holy fire; nor would He then present His Thoughts upon the Altar, till He had weighed them in the balance of the Sanctuary, and by committing them to Faithful writing left no room for fruitless matter or idle words. The truth hereof will evidently appear in the ensuing Prayers: where you may see the actings of the Spiric, to the height of the Apostles sense. The Matter, Form, and Phrase of His Devotions all borrowed from the Sacred Scriptures, the Holy Fathers, and Primitive Liturgies, cherished with those pious slames of actual Intention, burning Charity and profound Humility, will give the most invincible assurance, that He, that prayed thus, made good S. Paul's, I will pray with the Spirit. Nor did His Method from Him neither. Prayers, Supplications, Intercessions, and Giving of Thanks, make up the Body of His Devotions. That was His unquestionable Directory in these His Sacred Forms. Where you shall ever find His Faith, His Hope, and Charity, that sacred Triad of supernatural and Theological virtues in the highest pitch of Elevation. And now, I think, there need no arguments, to persuade your acceptation and improvement of them. It is enough that You know the Man and His Communication. Thus did He discourse with God, and so may You: building confidently on this infallible Oracle, That the effectual fervent Prayer of a righteous man availeth much; that, like a Prince, it hath power with God, and conquers Heaven. The Citations of the Sacred Scriptures, the Holy Fathers, and Primitive Liturgies; the very few Additions thus [] included in the Body of the Text, together with some Titles and Annotations, by way of Exposition or Illustration, intended for your greater benefit, are all my 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, my voluntary Oblations; or, if you pleas to call them so, Presumptions: which if I may obtain your pardon for, you see the terms, on which I dare commend these Devotions to the truly pious soul. What is amiss you may assure yourself is not in Greek, is not the Bishops; the English may have faults, but that is mine: And, I shall not doubt, your Charity, in covering them, will extend itself to Him, who had not now been guilty of them, but out of Charity to you. To which if you shall add the recommendation of him in your prayers, who shall never be unmindful of you in his, you shall eternally oblige in the most sacred bonds On the Nativity of S. Jo. Baptist, 1648. Your most humble servant in our Lord JESUS, RICHARD DRAKE. S. Hierom. Oras? Loqueris cum Sponso. Legis? Ille tecum joquitur. Epist. ad Eustoch. Virg. Gul. Parisiensis.

O My Ood, I am ashamed, and blush to lift up my face to Thee; For mine iniquities are increased over my head; And my trespasses are waxed great unto the heavens. Since the days of my youth I am in a great trespass, even to this day; And I cannot stand before Thee, because of this. Ch. 9 V 6, 7, 15. K. Manasses. I have sinned above the number of the sands 〈◊〉 the sea; My transgressions are multiplied; and I am not worthy to look up, and to see the height of heaven, because of the multitude of mine iniquities: Neither have I any release; For I have provoked Thy wrath, and done evil before Thee; not doing Thy will, nor keeping Thy commandments. And now I bow the knee of my heart, beseeching Thee of grace; I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities. But, I humbly beseech Thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me; and destroy me not with mine iniquities; Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; Neither condemn me into the lower parts of the earth: For Thou art the God, even the God of them that repent; And thou shalt show in me all Thy goodness, if Thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to Thy great mercy: And I will praise Thee for ever. Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean: Lord, speak the word only, and I shall be healed. S. Mat. 8.2, 8. Lord, save me. S. Mat. 8.25. Carest Thou not that we perish? S. Mark. 4.38.

Have pity, spare me, O Lord; Have pity, Be merciful unto me: I said, Lord be merciful unto me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee. Psal. 41.4.

Mercifully look upon our infirmities, and for the glory of Thy most Holy Name turn from us all those evils and afflictions, which to our sins, and to us for them, are most justly and worthily due. ANd, O Lord, give rest to me that am weary; renew my strength to me that am tired with labour; Lighten mine eyes that I sleep not in death. Psal. 13.3. Deliver me from the terrors of the Night, and from the Pestilence that walketh in darkness. Psa. 91.5.6. Grant me wholesome sleep, and to pass this Night without fear.

Visiting me with the salvation of Thy children: Open my understanding in the visions of the night. H. Job 33.15, 16. But, if not this, for I am not worthy, I am not worthy, Yet, O Lord, Thou Lover of men, let my sleep be a rest, as from labours so, from sin; Even so, O Lord. And sleeping let me not dream of any thing, that may offend Thee, defile myself. Let not my loins be filled with illusions. Psal. 38.7. but rather let my reins chasten me. Ps. 16.8. Preserve me, without grievous fear, from the dismal sleep of sin; and lay asleep in me all earthly and wicked imaginations. Give me sweet sleep, free from all carnal and diabolical fancies.

[Prayers for the Holy Communion.] [Before the Receiving of the Blessed Sacrament.] O Lord, I am not fit, nor worthy that Thou shouldst come under the filthy roof of the house of my soul. S. Matth. 8.8. because it is wholly desolate and ruinous; neither haste Thou, with me, a fit place where to lay Thy head. S. Mat. 8.20. But as Thou didst vouchsafe to be laid in a Stable and Manger of unreasonable Beasts; S. Luke 27. As Thou didst not disdeign to be entertained even in the house of Simon the Leper; S. Matth, 26.6. As Thou didst not reject the Harlot, a sinner like unto me, coming unto Thee, and touching Thee; As Thou didst not abhor her foul and profane mouth; S. Luke 7.37, 38. Nor yet the Thief, on the Cross, confessing Thee; S. Luke 23.43. Even so vouchsafe to admit me also, an overworn, miserable, and out of measure sinful creature, to the receiving and communicating of the most pure, most auspicious, quickening and saving Mysteries of Thy most Holy Body, and Precious Blood. S. Chrysost. Liturgy. ATtend, O Lord, our God, from Thy holy habitation, and from the glorious Throne of Thy Kingdom, and come and sanctify us.

S. Chrysost. and S. Basil's Liturgy. And grant us to partake of them In Faith, that need not be ashamed, Love, without dissimulation, Rom. 12.9.

That we with all Thy Saints, who, from the beginning, have pleased Thee, may be partakers of Thy most pure and eternal good things, which Thou hast prepared, O Lord, for them that love Thee, in whom Thou art glorified for ever. O Lamb of God, who takest away the sin of the world, S. Joh. 1.29. Take away mine also, who am a notorious sinner. We therefore, O Lord, in the presence of Thy Holy Mysteries, Being mindful of The saving Passions of Thy Christ, His life-giving Cross, precious Death, three day's Burial, Resurrection from the dead, Ascension into Heaven, Session at the Right hand of Thee the Father, glorious and dreadful Return, Humbly beseech Thee, that we, receiving a part of Thy Holy Mysteries with a pure testimony of our Conscience, may be united to the Holy Body and Blood of Thy Christ. Let me so receive these Mysteries, that I may be worthy to be ingraffed into Thy Body, which is the Church; That I may become one of Thy Members, and Thou my Head; That I may remain with Thee, and Thou with me; That now, not I in myself, but Thou in me, and I in Thee, May for ever continue in an indissoluble bond of love. Wash out the stains of my old & fresh sins; Never let any sinful spot abide, where so pure Sacraments have entered. Through this Sacred Mystery, which I here call to mind, Bury me, already dead to this world, with Thee in Thy Grave. [These Prayers [thus" marked] are not in the Greek, but in the Latin MS.] And receiving this Sacrament, not unworthily, let us procure Christ's dwelling in our hearts, Ephes. 3.17. and be made a Temple of Thy Holy Spirit, 1 Cor. 6.19. Even so, O Lord. And make not any one of us guilty of these Thy dreadful and heavenly Mysteries; nor weak in Soul or Body, by our unworthy partaking of the same. 1 Corin. 11.27, 29.30. But grant that, to our utmost and last gasp, we may worthily receive the hope of these Thy Mysteries, To our Sanctification, Illumination, Strengthening, To the eas of the burden of our many sins; As a Preservative against all the assaults of the Devil, As a Deleterie and Impediment of our evil Customs; For the Mortification of our lusts; Keeping of Thy Commandments; Increase of Thy Divine Grace, and Possession of Thy Kingdom. [After the Receiving of the Blessed Sacrament.] IT is good for me to hold me fast by God, and to put my trust in the God of my salvation. [In the Latin, nor in the Greek MS.] We have now, O Christ our God, finished and perfected, according to our ability, the Mystery of Thy Dispensation: For we have had the Memorial of Thy Death; seen the Type of Thy Resurrection; been filled with Thy endless Life; enjoied Thy never failing Dainties; Whereof vouchsafe to make us all partakers in the world to come. THe good Lord pardon every one, that prepareth his heart, to seek the Lord God of his Fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the Sanctuary. 2 Chron. 30.18, 19 [Special Duties recommended to Christian People.] 1 WHat shall I do to inherit eternal Life; 1 Keep the Commandments.
