"forget not thou thy earth"

"O Brother of ours, O natural son of the Father, whose sons thou makest us by adoption, O Head of our Body, we see that thou art king of Heaven:  forget not thou thy earth, whereinto thine inestimable love to us did bring thee down."

     Luis de Vives (Ludovicus Vives, or Jean Luis Vives), as quoted (presumably in the 16th (?) century Bradford translation) by Eamon Duffy at The stripping of the altars:  traditional religion in England 1400-1580, 2nd ed. (New Haven:  Yale University Press, 1992), 236-237, citing A booke of Christian prayers in William Keatinge Clay, ed., Private prayers: put forth by authority during the reign of Queen Elizabeth (Cambridge: Printed [for the Parker Society] at the University Press, 1851), 514.
