Help with transcribing from Latin incunable, 1488

I'm trying to transcribe and translate this passage from a book about meditations on Christs Passion, printed Antwerp 1488. I struggle particularly with the word "dies" in the second line. I can't get this to make much sense.

For transcription I have this, and please let me know if I mistake somewhere. Some of the abbreviations are hard for me.

Oratio
Domine Ihesu Christe quia in deis sponte capi voluisti Doce omnes sensus meos. Intellectus pariter et voluntatem in obsequum tuum iugiter captiuare ut tua merear bonitate a morte que petua prebuari

Could it be a morte perpetua praeservari maybe? Also it should be obsequium.

You guys are good! Thanks a lot for your help. I am still struggling with the understanding of "qui a ludeis" I know "ludeis" as a form of lupus - game. But I can't get that to make sense here. Can you help me further?

The first letter is an i. The classical spelling is Iudaeis and it's the ablative plural form of Iudaeus, meaning "Jew".

Well that makes sense to me. I should have said that this short prayer is related to the capture of Christ by the soldiers in Gethsemane. Thanks for this!

From the same text, this passage is a prayer to accompany the passage of the soldiers gambling for the clothes of the crucified Christ. I have big problems with transcribing this, but have this so far.

Domine Jhesu Christe qui vestimenta tua intra crucifixores tuos diuidi et super tunica tuam incon futilem fortes multi voluisti da mihi...

There is a letter in line 3 from bottom "mandator?" I don't know. Help appreciated, naturally.
