56. Mass upon lawful days, Sunday along with Thursday, If not upon every day, To banish every wickedness. 57. It is lawful, too, in solemnities-- I should almost have said The feast of an apostle or noble martyr, The festivals of pure believers. 58. Masses for all the Christians, And for all those in orders; Masses for the multitudes, From the least unto the greatest. 59. For every one who merits it, Before you offer it for all, And who shall merit From this day until the Judgment comes. 60. When you come unto the Mass-- It is a noble office-- Let there be penitence of heart, shedding of tears, And _throwing_[B] up of the hands, 61. Without salutation, without inquiry, With meekness, with silence, With forgiveness of all ill-will That is, shall be, or has been; 62. With peace with every neighbour, With very great dread, With confession of vices, When you come to receive. 63. Two hundred genuflexions at the _Beata_ Every day perpetually; To sing the three times fifty Is an indispensable practice. 64. If you are desirous of preserving the Faith Under the government of a pure spirit, You shall not eat, you shall not sleep With a layman in a house. 65. There shall be no permanent love in thy heart But the love of God alone; For pure is the Body which thou receivest, Purely must thou go to receive it. 66. He who observes all this, Which in the Scripture is found, Is a priest--it is his privilege; May he be not privileged and unworthy.
