This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

This is the exquisite Litany which was said by the priest as a ' Commendation of a soul in the moment of death.' Immediately before the beginning of this Litany, which was repeated over our forefathers in their last agony, there was thrice said: Spare, O Lord, spare Thy servant whom Thou hast vouchsafed to redeem with Thy precious Blood: be not angry with him for ever.
