O ETERNAL Purity! Thou are brighter than the sun, purer than the angels, and the heavens are not clean in Thy sight; with mercy behold Thy servant, apt to be tempted with every object, and to be overcome by every enemy.I cannot, O God, stand in the day of battle and danger, unless Thou coverest me with Thy shield, and hidest me under Thy wings. Thou didst make me after Thine image; be pleased to preserve me so pure and spotless, that my body may be a holy temple, and my soul a sancutary to entertain Thy divinest Spirit, the Spirit of love and holiness. - Amen.
- JEREMY TAYLOR (1613-1667)
