I. LESSON.

PARE me, O Lord, for my days are nothing. What is man that thou magnifiest him? Or why dost thou set thy heart upon him? Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou suddenly triest him. How long wilt thou not spare me, nor let me alone to swallow my spittle? I have sinned, what shall I do for thee, O thou guardian of men? Why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and why am I become burthensome to myself? Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold I shall now sleep in the dust; and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be.

MY

R. Credo quod Redemptor meus vivit: et in novissimo die de terra surrecturus sum: * Et in carne mea videbo Deum Salvatorem meum. Quem visurus sum ego ipse, et non alius, et oculi mei conspecturi sunt. * Et in carne, &c. to V.

II. LESSON. Job x.

ས.

Y soul is weary of life; I will let go my speech against myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. I will say to God; Do not thou condemn me; tell me why thou judgest me thus ? Dost thou think it right to calumniate me and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the designs of the wicked ones? Are thy eyes of flesh? Or wilt thou see as man seeth? Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of man, that thou shouldst enquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin? And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas no one can deliver out of thy hand.

R. Thou, who didst raise Lazarus from the grave,

when he stunk: * Do thou, O Lord, grant them rest, and a place of pardon. V. Thou, who art to come to judge the living and the dead, and the world by fire.* Do thou, O Lord, &c. to V.

dum : * Tu eis, Domine, dona requiem, et locum indulgentiæ. V. Qui venturus es judicare vivos et mortuos, et sæculum per ignem. *Tu eis, Domine, &c. to V.

III. LESSON. Job x.

Tant, and dost thou thus suddenly cast me down

HY hands made me, and fashioned me wholly round

headlong? Remember, I beseech thee, that thou madest me like clay, and thou wilt reduce me to dust again. Didst thou not milk me as milk, and curdle me like cheese? Thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh :- thou didst put me together with bones and sinews. Thou didst give me life and mercy, and thy care of me preserved my breath.

R. Lord, when thou shalt come to judge the world, where shall I hide myself from thy angry countenance? For I have sinned very much in my life. V. I tremble at what I have done, and blush before thee when thou shalt come to judge, condemn me not. *For I have sinned, &c. to V. Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord and may a perpetual light shine upon them.* For I have sinned, &c. to V.

V. Commis

R. Domine, quando.veneris judicare terram, ubi me abscondam a vultu iræ tuæ * Quia peccavi nimis in vita mea. sa mea pavesco, et ante te erubesco: dum veneris judicare, noli me condemnare. * Quia peccavi, &c. to V. Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis. * Quia peccavi, &c. to V.
