 dict XIII,  Jan.  15, 1728:  A  plenary  indulgence,  once  a month,  to  all  those  who  shall  daily  devoutly  say,  and, at the  same  time,  make  with  their  heart  these  acts. This indulgence  may  be  gained  on  any  day,  when, being truly  penitent,  after  confession  and  communion, they shall  pray  for  peace  and  union  among  Christian princes, for  the  extirpation  of  heresy,  and  for  the  triumph of  holy  Church.

He granted  in  like  manner  a  plenary  indulgence  at the  hour  of  death. Finally, to  excite  the  faithful  to  a very  frequent  use  of  these  acts,  he  extended  the indulgence of  seven  years  and  seven  quarantines (which, by  the  grant  of  his  predecessor,  could  be gained  only  once  a  day)  to  every  time  that  these  acts are said  with  heartfelt  devotion.

The same  Sovereign  Pontiff  further  declared  that, to gain  these  indulgences,  it  is  not  necessary  to  make use of  any  set  form  of  words,  but  that  any  one  may  use any form  of  words  which  he  pleases,  provided  it  expresses the  particular  motive  of  each  of  the  three theological virtues. — "  The  New  Raccolta."
