 {|
 * From thy  anger,  which  now  too  late  they  grieve  to  have  provoked  by  their  negligence  and  ingratitude,
 * From the  bonds  of  sin,  wherein  they  remain  entangled  by  the  disorder  of  their  affections,
 * From the  pains  of  purgatory,  justly  inflicted  on  them  as  the  proper  effects  of  their  sins,
 * From that  dreadful  prison,  whence  there  is  no  release  till  they  have  paid  the  last  farthing, From  all  their  torments,  incomparably  greater  than  the  sharpest  pains  of  this  life, By  the  multitude  of  thy  mercies,  who  hast  always  shown  compassion  on  the  frailties  of  human  nature,  ||
 * By the  infinite  merits  of  thy  death  upon  the  cross,  where  thou  reconciledst  the  world  to  thy  Father,
 * By thy  victorious  descent  into  hell,  to  break  asunder  the  chains  of  death,  and  free  such  as  were  imprisoned,
 * By thy  glorious  resurrection  from  the  grave,  when  thou  openedst  the  kingdom  of  heaven  to  believers,
 * By thy  triumphant  ascension  into  heaven,  when  thou  didst  lead  captivity  captive,  and  promisest  to  prepare  a place  for  thy  servants,
 * By thy  dreadful  coming  to  judge  the  world,  when  the  works  of  every  one  shall  be  tried  by  fire,
 * We sinners,  Beseech  thee, hear  us. 
 * That it  would  please  thee  to  hasten  the  day  of  visiting  thy  faithful,  detained  in  the  receptacles  of  sorrow,  and  transport  them  to  the  city  of  eternal  peace,
