 remission of all their sins, that, through pious supplications, they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired; who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.

IVEST my soul, O my Jesus, of all sin and of all affection to sin; of all pride and vanity; of all self-will and self-love; of whatever is in the least displeasing to thy divine majesty.

N the name of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified. I lay me down to rest; bless me, O Lord, defend and govern me, and after this short and miserable pilgrimage bring me to everlasting happiness. Amen.

LORD JESUS, whose unwearied eye neither slumbers nor sleeps, but continually watches in defence of thy servants, receive me, I beseech thee, into thy protection this night, and grant that when my body is asleep my soul may be awake to thee, and that I may one day behold that blessed and heavenly country, where thou, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest forever. Amen.
