O most merciful Lord Jesus, &c. 5.

O most sweet Lord Jesus Christ, mirror of eternal brightness, and wisdom of the omnipotent Father, re- member the bitter grief and sorrow thy sacred soul did feel, when beholding in the clear mirror of thy divine presence, the predestination of the elect, who through the merits of thy most wholesome passion were to be saved, and the reprobation of the wicked, who for their ingratitude were to be damned, and the abyss of thy immense mercy, by which thou didst commiserate and shed tears for us miserable, lost, forlorn sinners: and chiefly by that mercy thou didst shew to the thief upon the cross, saying to him, This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise , I beseech thee, O most sweet Lord Jesus, my Lord and my God, to shew the like mercy to me, now, and at the hour of my death. Amen
