A Prayer before Mass.
O Most clement Father of mercy: who hast bestowed not only once thy dearly beloved Son to dye upon the Cross for Man's Redemption, but wouldest that this Oblation so infinitely acceptable unto thee, should daily be renewed in thy Church, to increase in us the fruit thereof: Grant us, we beseech thee, so attentively, and reverently to be present at this so adorable a mistery of thy Piety, that we may be able to obtain the participation thereof. Through Christ Jesus our Lord and only Redeemer, Amen.
The first Part to the Offertory.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.
PSALM.
I Will enter unto the Altar of God.
Ʋnto God who rejoyces my youthful Age
Judge me, O God, and discern my Cause from an unholy Nation: From an unjust and guileful man deliver me.
For thou art God my strength, why hast thou cast me off, and why do I walk sad whilst the Enemy afflicts me?
Send out thy light, and thy truth, they have led me out and brought me to thy holy Mountain, and to thy Tabernacles.
And I will go unto the Altar of God, unto God, who rejoyces my youthful Age.
I will confess unto thee, O God, my God in a harp: why art thou sad my Soul, and why doest thou trouble me?
Hope in God for I will yet confess unto him, the health of Countenance and my God.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the begining, and now, and ever, and world without end, Amen.
I will go vnto the Altar of God.
Ʋnto God who rejoyces my youthful age.
Our help is in the name of God.
Who made Heaven and Earth.
At the Confiteor.
O My sweet Saviour, seeing it was Sin which made thee take our Flesh upon thee, and suffer a more painful and shameful death, I here humbly crave thee pardon for having bin cause of thy bitter Passion by my sinful Life past.
I confess my fault unto thee, O Lord, [Page 6]from the bottom of my heart and being extreamly sorry for it, purely for the dishonour done unto thee thereby, make here at the foot of thy sacred Altar a firm resolution to dye rather rhen offend thee mortally again. No, no dear Saviour, I will strike no more nailes into thy Hands by the Sins of my uncivil uncharitable and pricking words, I will pierce no more thy sacred side and heart with the wickedness of my thoughts, heart and mind.
Almighty God have mercy on thee, and pardoning thy Sins, bring thee to everlasting Life.
Amen.
I confess unto almig'ty God, to the blessed Virgin Mary, to the B. Archangel, S. Michael, to the B.S. John Baptist, to the holy Apostles S. Peter, and S. Paul, to all the Saints, and to you Father, for that I have sinned exceedingly, in thought, word [Page 7]and deed, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Archangel S. Michael, the blessed S. John Bapt. the holy Apostles S. Peter, and S. Paul, all the Saints, and you Father to pray for me to our Lord God.
Allmighty God have mercy on you, and pardoning your sins, bring you to everlasting life.
Amen.
The almighty and merciful Lord grant you Pardon, absolution, and remission of your sins.
Amen.
O God thou being reconciled unto us wilt give us life.
And thy people will rejoyce in thee.
Shew forth unto us O Lord thy mercy.
And give unto us thy salvation.
O Lord hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto thee.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy Spirit.
Introite.
GIve me grace, O Lord, to come unto this holy Sacrifice with the same fervour and devotion that the good Sheapheards had when they went to Bethlehem with diligence, to adore thee in the Manger, or with the same Fervour that the three Kings had who came out of the East to adore thee in the Stable. It is most fitting, O Lord, that all Creatures should adore thee daily, and if the good Shepheards went to adore thee at midnight, I may well do it in the morning, if the three Kings went thirteen days journey only to adore thee in the Stable, I may well go every day unto the Church to adore thee upon the Altar, and there offer unto thee (as I now do) my heart, [Page 9]my mouth, my hands, my memory, understanding and will, my soul, body and all my affections. And seeing, O Lord, thou wast born to redeem us from Sin, and to have mercy on us, give me leave sweet Saviour to challenge a part of thy divine Mercy, and to say unto thee with a pious Confidence.
Kyrie Eleison.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Christ have mercy upon us.
Christ have mercy upon us.
Christ have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.
Gloria in Excelsis
GLory be to God on high, and on Earth, Peace to men of good Will. We praise thee, we bless [Page 10]thee, we adore thee, we give thee thanks for thy great Glory, O Lord God heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. O God the only begotten Son Jesu Christ, O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father that takest away the sins of the People, receive our Prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For thou only art holy, thou only art the Lord, thou only, O Jesus Christ, with the holy Ghost, art most high in the Glory of God the Father, Amen.
Dominus vobiscum.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Prayers or Presentation in the Temple.
O Lord we humbly beseech thy divine Majesty, to hear these prayers of the Priest for us, and by the merits of thy most deare Son, to powre down upon us those graces and blessings, which thou knowest to be most necessary for our Souls health, [Page 11]Grant us grace, O Lord, to love thee above all things, to do all our actions purely for thy honour and glory; to hate the Pleasures of this World, and its Vanities: to live chast and vertuous Lives: to give good Examples to others; to pardon and love our Enemies, and so to pass through this temporal Life, that we loose not eternal Life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who lives and reignes with the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end.
Amen.
Epistle.
REad the Epistle in English (with the leave of thy Ghostly Father) out of the Rheims Testament. But read it with great reverence, as a letter brought unto thee from S. Peter, or S. Paul in Heaven, by the hands of some Angel: and chuse out the most pious Sentences of it to ruminate upon all that day.
In the end say.
God be thanked.
Gradual.
O Lord how sweet are these words of this Epistle to my Ears, above all Musick in the World! Let thy Voice and the Words of thy Apostles always sound in my ears.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy Spirit.
The beginning of the Gospel according to S. Matthew, or (S. Mark, Luke, or John.)
Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Gospel.
REad the Gospel in the Rheims Testament, with leave, stand up, to shew that thou wilt stand stedfastly in the Faith of the Gospel and Catholick Church. Ponder well the words of the Gospel, seeing they either are our Saviours one words, or else speak of some rare Action of our Saviour, worthy of thy attention, and imitation. In the end say.
Praise be to thee, O Lord.
Creed.
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things visible, and invisible: and in our Lord Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God, born of his Father before all Worlds, God of God, Light of Light, true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial to the Father, by whom all things were made, who for us Men, and for our Salvation came down from Heaven, and was incarnated by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made Man: was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffred, and was buried, and the third day he arose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven, and sittes on the right hand of the Father. And he shall [Page 14]me again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, of whose Kingdome there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, and life giver, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is adored, and glorified, who spake by the Prophets. And one Holy Catholick and Apostolick Church. I confess one Baptisme for the remission of sins. And I expect the Resurrection of the dead, and life of the World to come, Amen.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy Spirit.
The second Part from the Offertory to the Consecration.
Offertory.
O Lord, I humbly and firmly believe all these articles of our holy Faith, and not only these, but [Page 15]all the other also, which Holy Church propose; to us to be believed; and am prepared in mind, and most willing to endure loss of lands, fortunes, and of life it self, rather than deny the least point of the Catholick Faith.
O heavenly Father, I offer unto thee, together with the Priest, the immaculate Sacrifice for my sins, and the sins of the whole World. Accept, I beseech thee, of this my offering, and by the vertue of this holy Sacrifice; apply unto us, O Lord the merits and value of the great Sacrifice of the Cross, which thy dear Son offered unto thee for us; that being freed from Sin, we may serve thee more worthily.
Mingle, O my sweet Saviour, (as thou hadst Water and Blood mingled together in thy sacred side) water with my wine: that is, temper, O Lord, my prosperity, and adversity so together, that I neither be puffed up with prosperity, nor oppressed with adversity.
I offer unto thee, O Lord, this holy offering of the Chalice; and together with it, I offer unto thy divine honour and glory, my life, my thoughts, and deeds: desiring that they may all be spent this day, and all the days of my life, in thy holy service, the advancement of thy name, and the edifying of others.
Grant me grace, O Lord, I beseech thee, to wash my hands amongst Innocent men; that is, to seek out and delight in innocent, and civil Company, to converse with vertuous people; to detest and wash my hands of those who offend thee in uncil Actions, unclean Discourse, uncharitable Detractions. I am too much a Christian to delight in the company of these WHO DENY THEE BY THEIR DEEDS. I will be as far from them, as they are far from vertue. Thou washedst me once, O Lord, in Baptisme from original Sin, WASH ME YET MORE AND MORE, even from actual Sin it self too, that being purged from all Sin, I may render unto thee a more pure and perfect service.
Orate Fratres.
Pray Brethren.
Our Lord, receive this Sacrifice from thy hands, to the praise and glory of his Name, to our profit also, and to the profit of his Catholick Church.
Amen.
Be merciful, I beseech thee. O Lord, unto us poor sinners. Judge us not according to thy Justice, but according to thy mercy. I confess we have failed shamefully, yet consider thy Son is our Advocate, we begg confidently. Grant then, O Lord, that we may live vertuously in this World, and be saved in the next. Have mercy also, I beseech thee, upon our Enemies; turn from them all harm and losses, and give us grace to love them sincerely, visit them kindly, speak of them charitably; that so we may become Children of thee, our heavenly Father; and having imitated thee here below, reign with thee in heaven.
World without end.
Amen.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Lift up thy heart.
We have to God.
Let us give thanks to our Lord God.
It's meet and sitting.
I confess, O Lord, it's fitting, and meet that we should always, and in all places give thee thanks, and praise thy name, seeing we were created only to succeed in the places of the fallen Angels, and to inherit their Office, which was to praise thee. I beseech thee then, O Lord, give us grace to imitate the holy Angels in purity of life, and promptness in executing thy holy will. Grant us, dear Father, such circumspection in our words, that we may never prophane with idle, and lewd speeches, our mouths, which were created to sing with the holy Angels in heaven that sacred and eternal Hymne, Holy, Holy, Holy.
Almighty, and merciful Lord, I beseech thee, receive his Holy Sacrifice, which I offer here together with the Priest, for the Necessities of the Holy Catholick Church, which, I beseech thee so to prosper and direct in this age of Errors, that she may reduce all misbelievers into the way of Verity, and all Believers into the way of Piety, and Salvation. I offer it also, O Lord, for the good of our Holy Father P. N. and our most reverend Bishop N. and all other Superiors, and Pastors, and seeing thy dear Son assured us, that whosoever hears them, hears him, and whosoever contemns them, contemns him. I beseech thee, O Lord, take from us all conrempt of these thy Holy substitutes; and grant us grace so to follow their directions here below, that we may enjoy in the next World the Society of our deare Saviour, the Bishop of our Souls.
MEMENTO. I.
BE mindful, I beseech thee, O Lord, of thy servants. and of all faithful believers, Grant all Catholicks grace to abstain from sinful, [Page 20]and scandalous courses. As their Religion is holy, so grant that their lives may be holy too. Give them grace often to remember for what end they are here in this World: that it is only to work their Salvation; not to live at ease, follow Pleasures, Pastimes, Company, or to go bravely apparelled. Put them often in mind, of what Head they are Members; how unseemly a thing it is to have a good Lord, and yet to be bad Servants, to believe in a crucifyed God, and yet to murmur at Crosses; to be baptised as Christians, and yet to live as Heathens; to have promised in Baptisme to forsake the vain Pomp and Glory of the World, and yet to thirst after nothing but the Vanities of the World: Grant them often to descend into themselves by pious Thoughts, and reflect daily upon these words of the holy Scripture, that, ‘the broad way leadeth to Hell, that no man can serve two Masters, God and the World: that, the bad tree, cannot bring forth good fruit.’ Send them, O Lord, true and zealous Pastors, who may exhort them, ‘Not to trust in the uncertainty of riches: [Page 21]not to conform themselves to this wicked World: not to be sollicitous what Cloaths they wear; but rather, To doe the true fruits of Pennance: to enter into the narrow Gate: to affect those things which are of Edification: to be cald in modest Apparel: to abstain from all appearance of Evil, and to keep themselves unspotted from this World.’
The hands over the Chalice.
GIve me leave, O merciful Saviour, in the acknowledgment of the greatest of thy favours, to exercise here the greatest of all Christian Vertues, to wit, FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY.
The third part from the Consecration to the Consummation.
Elevation.
I Believe then firmly, O my sweet Saviour, that after the Words of Consecration thou art really here present upon the Altar, and in the hands of the priest, and because thou, who art almighty and truth it self, hast said THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY [Page 22] BLOOD. I humbly confess it to be they true Body, and Blood, and as humbly I adore it.
And seeing, dear JESƲS, thou offeredst thy self to thy Father for me, in recompence of this thy great Favour, I offer unto thee my Body, and Blood, and my very soul it self, as a Sacrifice to thy divine Honout; and renew here my resolutions of living faithful to thy divine Service, and of dying rather then I will commit a mortal sin willingly.
I hope sweet Saviour. thou wilt not deny me thy assistance, and grace to perform these Resolutions. Thou who hast given for me here thy BODY, and BLOOD, wilt not refuse me the rest, to wit, pardon of my sins, and grace to serve thee.
And thou, O Father, of my sweet Saviour, I beseech thee remember the bitter sufferings of thy beloved Son. Look down upon his Blood offered here unto thee, and remember, O Lord, the blood offered upon the Cross, by thee when thou wast reconciled unto us. Thou promisedst anciently, O Lord, [Page 23]that looking upon the Rainbow, thou would'st remember the Covenant made betwixt thee and mankind, and never drown the World again by Water: and canst thou look down upon the Blood of thy dear Son, offered here unto thee in Sacrifice, and not remember the great Covenant, and League which thou mad'st with us in the death of thy dear Son.
I beg of thee then, O Lord, by the Merits of thy Sons death, by his holy name JESƲS (and all obtaining name with thee) that thou would'st vouchsafe to grant us thy holy Grace, and the guist of perseverance to persevere finally in it.
Memento. II.
GRant also, O Lord, that the infinite Merits of thy Son's Passion, may be extended unto the Church suffrant in Purgatory: and that one drop of that precious Blood may free from the pains of Purgatory, the Souls of N.N. that they may pass speedily from the Church suffrant, unto the [Page 24]Church triumphant, and there praise thee for ever.
And seeing, O Lord, thou canst not look upon this holy Sacrifice without remembring thy old Mercies: I humbly begg of thee, that thou wouldest by this propitiatory Sacrifice have mercy on us poor sinners, of whom I am the chiefest, and grant us grace, to be heartily sorrowful for our sins past, purely for thy Love sake; and to make a firm resolution to dye rather than commit them again: as also to confess them to our Ghostly Father at the first Opportunity.
Short Elevation.
BUT because, O Lord, no actions are meritorious in thy sight which are not done to thy honour, and glory. I here dedicate to thy Honour and Glory all my Actions, Words, and Thoughts, desiring to serve thee purely, that at last I may live with thee.
World without end.
Amen.
Let us Pray.
Being admonished by wholsome precepts, and taught by divine Institution, we dare confidently say:
Our Father, which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven: give us this day our dayly Bread, and forgive us our Trespasses, as we forgive others their Trespasses against us. And lead us not into Temptation.
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
‘'Thou hast done all things well, O Lord,’ ‘All things which thou hast made are very good.’ Sin onely, which is nothing, and ‘which thou knowest not,’ is none of thy Invention, but the Divels: and therefore is Evil, and the only true Evil. Free us but, O Lord, from this Evil, and no other Evil can hurt us. This is the mother-evil, the evil of evils, the cause of Death, of Sickness, of Misery, of Poverty. No adversity can dominere over us, if no iniquity dominere in us. Thou, O [Page 26]Lord, who art the Author of life, canst only free us from this Author of death. Free us then, I beseech thee, O Lord, from the evil of Sin, that we may never dye eternally, but live, and praise thee.
World without end. C. Amen.
The peace of our Lord be always with you.
And with thy spirit.
Agnus Dei.
Lamb of God who takest away the Sins of the World: have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God who takest away the Sins of the World, hear us.
Lamb of God who takest away the Sins of the World, Grant us peace.
Most Merciful and sweet Saviour, seeing thou art the ‘Mediator betwixt God and Man: the prince of Peace: who pacifyes all things in Heaven, and Earth:’ pacify, I beseech thee, thy Father, [Page 27]angry against us Sinners. Make also, I beseech thee, our peace with our Adversary upon Earth. Our Adversary, O Lord, is thy Law, it resists our Appetytes, gainsays our Desires, crosses our Wills. When we desire, and covet unlawful things, thy Law opposes us, saying: ‘Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbours Goods: thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, &c.’ And becomes our Adversary. But seeing, O Lord, it is for our good that thy Law opposes us; and that thy ‘Law is holy and immaculate.’ Inspire, I beseech thee into our rebellious Wills, a pompt Obedience unto thy sacred Commandements, and grant us grace; ‘to agree with this our Adversary quickly whiles we are in the way with him; least our Adversary deliver us to the Judge, and the Judge deliver us to the Officer, and we be cast into Prison.’ In fine, grant Peace, I beseech thee, amongst Christian Princes, and faithful Believers; that being in perfect Charity with one another, we may the more worthily come unto the sacred Communion.
Domine non sum dignus.
O Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my Roofe, but speak the word only, and my Soul shall be cured.
O Lord, I am not worthy, &c.
O Lord, I am not worthy, &c.
The fourth part from the Communion to the end.
Consummation.
THough I am not worthy, O my sweet Saviour, to receive thee really, as the Priest here doth: yet I have a longing desire to receive thee into my Soul, by Faith, Love, and Devotion. But before I do it, behold me here, O Lord, extreamly sorrowful. for all my Sins past, purely for thy loves sake, with a firm resolution to correct them, and confess them. Come, then, [Page 29]come my sweet Saviour into my Soul, by thy holy Presence, grace, and Divinity; and dwell there for ever. But as thou passest, O Lord, into my Soul through my Body, I beseech thee, sanctify also my whole Body, and make it a fit Temple for the Holy Ghost. Banish from it, O Lord, all unlawful Motions, and Desires: purge it from all rust, and dust of worldly Vanities: cleanse it from all corruption of Vices: And as at thy entering into Egypt in thy tender Infancy, when thou fleddest the Persecution of Herod, all the Statues there of false Gods fell to the Ground, and were broken. so grant, I beseech thee, O Lord, that at thy entering into my Body, and Soul, all my Vices and Imperfections may vanish, and give place to thee. I confess, my Body is but too homely a house to lodge so great a PersOn in; but thou who refusest not antiently to lodge in a Srable, wilt not refuse to enter into my house. I am not ignorant how great a sinner I have bin, yet I remember also thou refuest not to enter into the house of the Princ of Publicans, & a prime [Page 30]sinner Zacheus. Enter then, O Lord, into my House as into the House of another Zacheus; upon Condition that thou dost but give a blessing unto my soul, as thou didst unto the House of Zacheus; and say unto me as thou saidest to him: ‘This day Salvation is wrought unto this House.’
What shall I give to thee, O Lord, for all the favours which thou hast done unto me? Behold, sweet Saviour, seeing thou hast done mee the favour to enter into my House, I here offer unto thee the doores and keys thereof, to wit, my five Senses, I consecrate therefore unto thee henceforth my eyes, and purpose to keep them chast and innocent. I will never any more let them gaze curiously, and freely upon dangerous and tempting Objects, nor let them wander distractedly in Churches, and in time of Prayer. Henceforth also I consecrate unto thee my tongue, and resolve never to employ it in swearing, cursing, backbiting, unclean, and lewd jests, or hidden knavish speeches. And seeing it is my tongue by which I receive, and convey [Page 31]into my stomack the blessed Sacrament of the Altar in the Holy Communion, that tongue that had been so happily employed, and so honoured by God, shall never be employed again in Sin, and be dipped in my Neighbours Blood by detraction. In fine, O Lord, I consecrate my whole Body unto thee, as a sacred place dedicated to thy Divine Majesty, and which I purpose firmly never to defile with any sin whatsoever.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy Spirit.
Let us pray.
I beseech thee, gracious Lord, to grant me this request, that what here I have promised by words, I may always perform by my deeds. Through our Lord JESUS CHRIST thy Son, who lives, and reigns, with thee in the bnity of the Holy Ghost.
World without end.
Amen.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy Spirit.
Go, the Mass is said.
Thanks be to God.
Almingty God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, bless and keep you.
Amen.
Our Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
The beginning of the holy Ghospel according to St. John.
Glory be to God.
The Ghospel of St. John.
IN the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and God was the word. This was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing. That which was made in him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shines in darkness, [Page 33]and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for testimony, to give testimony of the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but to give testimony of the light. It was the true light which lightnes every man that comes into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came into his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the Sons of God, to those that beleive in his name. Who not of Blood, nor of the will of the Flesh, nor of the will of Man, but of God are born. AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt in us, (and we saw the Glory of him, glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and Verity.
Thanks be to God.
A Prayer to be said after Mass.
I Render to thee, O sacred Trinity, most humble thanks, for vouchsafeing me the gracious Favour to assist at this divine Sacrifice of the Mass: whereof so many are deprived, who would have made much better use of it. I humbly crave Pardon, most loving and merciful God, for all the distractions, irreverences, and dissipasions of my wandring Spirit, committed in the time thereof: And for my dear Saviours sake, most humbly beseech thee, that those infinite Merits of his bitter Passion, and most precious Blood shed for my redemption, and sacrific'd to thee in remission of the sins of the World, may render me worthy to be made partaker of thos divine and adorable Holy Misteries, here so truly represented in this most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and that with final repentance I may dye in thy grace, Amen.

Idolaters, and all Infidels, wishing with all my heart, that I alone could as much honour, praise, glorify, and adore THEE, as they altogether would have done, if they had known and faithfully served THEE for all Eternity; and furthermore, from the bottom of my HEART, and with the most fervent affections of my SOUL, I desire to render thy DIVINE MAJESTY as many adorations, praises, and benedictions, as all the Devils and Damned Souls will utter Blasphemies for ever against THEE; and to sanctifie this Adoration, and make it more pleasing to thy SACRED MAJESTY; I humbly unite it to tall those Adorations, fervent Affections, and Praises of the TRIUMPHANT, and MILITANT CHURCH, and all that the glorious VIRGIN MOTHER, and all thy Holy ANGELS, and SAINTS have done, do and ever shall render unto THEE, [Page 37]our most gracious, glorious, dear, sweet, and soveraign Lord, Eternally, Amen.
A devout Salutation to our Blessed Saviour in the Holy Sacrament.

A brief Prayer to obtain a happy Death.
O Most sweet Lord JESƲS, by the Merits of thy bitter Death, and Passion, thy sacred Wounds, and all the drops of thy most precious Blood, and by that bitter pain, and anguish thou didst endure, when thy holy Soul departed from thy precious Body, be merciful to me at the hour of my death, and deliver me from the Pains of Hell and Purgatory, and the power of the Devils, and admit me into the Fruition of thy Eternal Glory, Amen.

Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto * & de Sion tueatur te.
Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui * & holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.
Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum * & omne consilium tuum confirmet.
Laetabimur in salutari tuo * & in nomine Dei nostri Magnificabimur.
Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas * nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus Christum suum.
Exaudiet illum De Coelo sancto suo * in potentatibus salus Dextrae ejus.
Hi in curribus & hi in equis: nos autem in nomine Dei nostri invocabimus.
Ipsi obligati sunt & caeciderunt * nos autem surreximus & erecti sumus.
Domine salvum fac Regem & exaudi nos in Die qua invocaverimus te.
Gloria Patri & Filio & spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio & nunc [Page 47]& semper & in Secula Seculorum, Amen.
Domine salvum fac Regem nostrum Jacobum.
Et exandi nos in die qua invocaremus te.
Oremus.
QƲaesumus omnipotens Deus ut Famulus tuus Rex noster Jacobus, qui tua miseratione suscepit Regni Gubernacula Virtutum, etiam omnium percipiat incrementa quibus decenter ornatus & vitiorum monstra Devitare hostes superare, & ad te qui Via veritas & Vita es gratiosus Valeat pervenire per Christum Dominum Nostrum, Amen.
