O God, destroy me not as I see now that I deserve.
Spare me that I may cleanse and sanctify myself and the members of Christ in me, which I have so often embruted and defiled.

Assist me to summon up my imagination henceforth to my sanctification as Thine apostle has here taught me the way.

Let me henceforth look at my whole body in all its senses and in all its members, the most open and the most secret, as in reality no more my own.

Let me henceforth look at myself with Paul's deep and holy eyes.

Let me henceforth seat Christ, my Redeemer and my King, in the very throne of my heart, and then keep every gate of my body and every avenue of my mind as all not any more mine own but His.
