to one another, that by mutual care and attention they might have comfort in adversity, and help in temptations.
Oh, that thou wouldst be similarly careful of me, O Lord, that I may fear neither what man nor malignant spirit can do to me; and that, as if standing under the Cross, I may set thee always in my sight, for thou art at my right hand, that I may not be moved!
VII. But deliver us from evil.
O Jesus most strong! for love is strong as death; this it was that compelled thee to die: yet it also caused thee to overcome death and every ill. When, then, thou wert on the point of being delivered from the ills and miseries of this mortal life, thou didst calmly and securely commend thy spirit into the hands of thy eternal Father, resigning, as it were, of thy own accord, thy life and thy soul to him from whom thou hadst received them; knowing that he was able to raise thee again to life, no more to be exposed to death or any ills.
Grant me, O Jesus, so to bear the pains, labours, ills, and miseries of this life, that when I come to the end of it I may render up my soul to thee my Creator with filial confidence and a ready will; and deliver me from the evil (oh, dreadful evil!) of eternal damnation, for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth! Amen, amen.
