THE RICHES OF CHRIST.
holy David in the rapture of his thoughts ‘that I might fly away and be at reſt And certainly there remaineth (as the holy writings mention) a rest for the people of God, which, through the riches and mercy of our Lord Jeſus Chriſt and his merits, may be obtained, if we conſider, 'even in this our day, the things that belong to our peace.' Which grant O Lord, for thy infinite mercy’s ſake that we may praiſe and magnify the holy name world without end.
A PRAYER.
O BLESSED JESUS, conſider in this miſerable wretch, whom, in the riches of thy mercy, by ſhedding your moſt precious blood, thou haſt redeem ed from death to life : My soul is raviſhed with the thoughts of thy transcendent compaſſions. O draw me, to you I ſhall follow with joy and delight turn not away thy amiable eyes, I faint, for my ſoul is ſick of love. Guide me in thy truth, and let me ſo be that when I die, my ſoul may reſt with thee. Amen.
