The rite of the _Liber Regalis_ was used, as has been said, until the time of James II. It was rendered into English for James I[77], and served in an almost identical form for the coronations of Charles I and Charles II. The version is not very elegant, but it is certainly as good an English composition as the original is a Latin. The miraculous chrism[78] was last used at the coronation of Elizabeth, and was then either exhausted or had become unfit for further use. The form with which Archbishop Laud consecrated the chrism for the coronation of Charles I still exists[79]. The Recognition becomes at this time an integral part of the rite, and is introduced by an anthem. Immediately after the Recognition the anthem _Firmetur manus_ and Ps. lxxxix are sung. The king then makes his first oblation and the Archbishop says the prayer _O God which visitest those that are humble_ (_Deus visitator humilium_). The king now takes the oath, which is given in Latin and French as well as English, and the petition of the bishops, _Domine Rex a vobis perdonari_, which is left untranslated. _Veni Creator_ is then sung, followed by _We beseech thee, O Lord, Holy Father_ (_Te invocamus_), and the Litany in English with a special petition proper to the occasion. Then are said the four prayers _O Almighty and everlasting God, Creator of all things_ (_Omn. semp. Deus creator omnium_); _O Lord, thou that governest all kingdoms_ (_Benedic Domine_); _God the unspeakable Author_ (_Deus ineffabilis_); and _God which providest for thy people_ (_Deus qui populis_). The consecration follows, _God the strength of thy chosen_ (_Deus electorum fortitudo_), introduced by _Sursum corda_ and Preface, the prayer being slightly altered in some of its phrases. The king’s hands are then anointed with the form _Let these hands be anointed_ (_Unguantur manus_), followed by the anthem _Zadok the priest_ (_Unxerunt Salomonem_) and the prayer _Look down, Almighty God_ (_Prospice omnipotens_); the king is then anointed[80] on the breast, between the shoulders, on both shoulders, on the boughts of the arms, and on the crown of the head. Then follow the prayers _God the Son of God_ (_Deus Dei Filius_) and _God which art the glory of the righteous_ (_Deus qui es iustorum gloria_). The king is now vested with Colobium and Dalmatic, after which the Archbishop says the prayer _O God the King of kings_ (_Deus Rex regum_); then with the Supertunica or close pall, hose, and sandals by the Dean of Westminster, and with the spurs by a nobleman. The Sword is blessed with the form _Hear our prayers_ (_Exaudi quaesumus_), and is delivered to the king with the form _Receive this kingly sword_ (_Accipe gladium_). He is invested with the Armill, _Receive the armill_ (_Accipe armillas_); with the Mantle or open pall, _Receive this pall_ (_Accipe pallium_); with the Crown, the Archbishop taking it in his hands and saying _God the crown of the faithful_ (_Deus tuorum_), and _O God of eternity_ (_Deus
