A most deuout Prayer of the name of Iesus

O Good Iesus, ô sweete Iesus, ô Iesus the Son of the virgin Mary, full of pitty and mercy. O sweete Iesus haue mercy vpon me, according to thine infinite goodnes. O bountiful Iesus, I an vnwoorthie sinner doe pray thee, by that thy precious blood, which thou dist shed vpon the Crosse, for sinners & vngodly men, that thou wouldest wash me from all my sins, & that thou wouldest not despise thy seruant, who humbly prayeth, and calleth vpon this most holy name of Iesus. This thy name Iesus is a sweet name, yea it is sweeter then any Nectar or Ambrosia; this thy name Iesus is a sauing name. For what is Iesus, but a Sauiour? Therefore ô good Iesus, who of thy goodnes hast created mee, and with thy precious blood hast redeemed mee, doe not suffer my soule to be haled downe to hell, by reason of my many and great transgressions. Let not mine iniquities, ô good Iesus, condemne my soule, created of thine infinite goodnes. Acknowledge in mee, ô good Iesus, and chalenge, what is thine; that is, my soule: and take from mee that which is anothers, that is, all my sins and enormities. O good Iesus haue mercy vpon mee, as long as I am in this world, least I be condemned in that fearefull day of iudgement. O good Iesus, if I a peruerse sinner shal deserue according to thy iustice to bee damned, by reason of my greeuous and enormous sinnes, I humbly appeale from thy seuere iustice, to thy gracious & pittifull mercy: assuredlie trusting, that thou my Lord Iesus wilt be gracious and mercifull to my soule, as a gracious Father, and a mercifull GOD. What profit, ô good Iesus, will there be in my flesh, if my soule goe downe to hell?

For it is certaine ô Lord, that no man in hel, shal yeeld praise to thy holy name Iesus. O most mercifull Iesus, bee mercifull to vs. O most sweet Iesus, deliuer vs from all our tribulations and anguishes. O good Iesus, be gentle and kind to vs wretched sinners. O most holy Iesus, associate our soules with thine elect in heauen. O most pittifull Iesus, the saluation of all them, that hope in thee, comfort vs. O Iesus the Sonne of the most holy virgin Mary, bestow on vs thy mercy, grace, wisedome, charity, chastitie, humilitie, and patience in all our aduersities and extreamities, that wee may alwayes blesse, glorifie, honour, and prayse Iesus. Amen.
