Who art one God, one Lord; not one only Person, but three Persons
in one Substance. For that which we believe of the glory of the
Father, the same we believe of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
without any difference or in equality. Therefore with Angels, &c.
| _The following_ ADDITIONAL PROPER PREFACES _may be said_:
| _Upon_ The Epiphany, _and seven days after_.
|
| Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who, in substance of our mortal
| flesh, manifested forth his glory, that he might bring us out of
| darkness into his own marvellous light. Therefore, &c.
|
| _Upon_ The Purification.
|
| Because thy blessed Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, born of a
| woman, born under the Law, was, as on this day, presented in the
| Temple, and revealed to thy servants as a light to lighten the
| Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel. Therefore, &c.
|
| _Upon_ The Annunciation.
|
| Because thou didst give Jesus Christ, thine only Son, to be born
| for us, who by the operation of the Holy Ghost, was made very
| man, of the substance of the blessed Virgin Mary his mother, and
| that without spot of sin, to make us clean from all sin.
| Therefore, &c.
|
| _Upon_ Feasts of Apostles and Evangelists, _except when the
| proper preface for any of the Great Festivals is appointed to
| be said_.
|
| Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who did vouchsafe to choose thy
| servant Saint _N_. [_or_ thy servants Saint _N_. and Saint _N_.]
| to be of the company of the Apostles [_or_ to be an Evangelist]
| by whose ministry thine elect might be gathered in from every
| nation, and thy Church instructed in the way that leadeth unto
| everlasting life. Therefore, &c.
|
| _Upon_ All Saints' Day.
|
| Who in the multitude of thy Saints hast compassed us about with
| so great a cloud of witnesses, to the end that we, rejoicing in
| their fellowship, may run with patience the race that is set
| before us, and together with them receive the crown of glory
| that fadeth not away. Therefore, &c.
|
| _At the_ Consecration of Bishops, _and_ Ordination of Priests
| and Deacons.
|
| Through Jesus Christ our Lord, the great Shepherd of the sheep,
| who, for the feeding and guidance of his flock, did appoint
| divers orders of ministers in his Church. Therefore, &c.
|
| _At the_ Dedication of a Church, _and_ Anniversary of the
| Dedication.
|
| Who in temples made with hands buildest up for thyself a
| spiritual temple made without hands. Therefore, &c.
_After each of which Prefaces shall immediately be sung or said_,
Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of
heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising
thee, and saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and
earth are full of thy glory: Glory be to thee, O Lord most High.
Amen.
_Then shall the Priest, kneeling down at the Lord's Table, say
in the name of all them that shall receive the Communion this
Prayer following_.
