Brethren, pray that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God the Father Almighty.

R. May the Lord re ceive the sacrifice from thy hands, to the praise and glory of his name, and to our benefit, and to that of his holy Church.

After reading the SECRET, which may be seen in its proper place, the second Secret from Candle mas-day till Passion Sunday, and from the III. Sunday after Pentecost until Advent, (except on Doubles, and within Octaves) is the following. II. SECRET.

The common PREFACE on all Festivals and other days, which have none proper, and in Masses for the Dead. N. B. This mark * refers to the subsequent part of the proper Prefaces. Ere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere, Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, eterne Deus. *Per Christum Dominum nostrum: per quem majestatem tuam laudant angeli, adorant dominationes, tremunt potestates, cœli cœlorumque virtutes, ac beata seraphim, socia exultatione concelebrant.

IT is truly meet and just,right and available to salvation, that we should always, and in all places, give thanks to thee, O holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God. *Thro' Christ our Lord: by whom the angels praise thy Majesty, the dominations adore it the powers tremble before it, the heavens, the heavenly virtues, and blessed seraphim, with common jubilee glorify it. Together with whom we beseech thee, that we may be admitted to join our humble voices, saying:

Holy, holy, holy, Lord

On TRINITY SUNDAY, and all other Sundays in the Year which have no proper Preface. *Qui cum unigenito Filio tuo et Spiritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dominus non in unius singularitate Personæ, sed in unius Trinitate substantiæ.--.Quod enim de tua gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Fi-lio tuo, hoc de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione veræ sempiternæque Deitatis, et in Personis proprietas, et in essentia Unitas, et in Majestate adoretur æqualitas. Quam laudant angeli atque archangeli, cherubim quoque ac seraphim, qui non cessant clamare quotidie, una voce dicentes, Sanctus, &c.

*Who, together with thy only begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, and one Lord: not in a singularity of Person, but in a Trinity of substance. For what we believe of thy glory, as thou hast revealed, the same we believe of thy Son and of the Holy Ghost, without any dif ference or distinction. So that, in the confession of the true and eternal De. ity, we adore a distinction in the Persons, an unity in the Essence, and an equality in the Majesty. Whom the angels and archangels, the cherubim also and sera phim praise, and cease not daily to cry out with one voice, saying, Holy, &c.

On CHRISTMAS-DAY till the Epiphany on Cor. pus Christi; and on our Lord's Transfiguration.

N. B. Prefaces thus marked † are concluded in the

same manner as this.

* Quia per incarnati Verbi mysterium, nova mentis nostræ oculis lux tuæ claritatis infulsit: ut dum visibiliter, Deum cognoscimus, per hunc in invisibilium amorem rapiamur. + Et ideo cum angelis et archangelis, cum thronis et dominationibus, cumque omai, militia cœlestis exercitus, hymnum gloriæ tuæ canimus, sine fine dicentes, Sanctus, &c.

*Since by the mystery of the Word made flesh, a new ray of thy glory has appeared to the eyes of our souls: that whilst we behold God visibly, we may be carried by him to the love of things invisible. †And therefore with the angels and archangels, with the thrones and dominations, and with all the heavenly host, we sing an everlasting hymn to thy glory, saying, Holy, &c.

The Preface on the Epiphany and the Octave. * Quia cum unigenitus tuus in substantia nostræ mortalitatis apparuit, nova nos immortalitatis suæ luce reparavit. Et ideo, &c.

kind should be wrought on the wood of the cross: that from whence death came, thence life might arise: and that he who overcame by the tree, might also by the tree be Overcome. *Thro,' &c.

From HOLY SATURDAY until the Ascension.

VERE dignum et jus

tum est, æquum et salutare, te quidem, Domine, omni tempore, sed [in hac potissimum nocte vel die, vel] in hoc gloriosius prædicare, cum Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui abstulit peccata mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriendo destruxit, et vitam resurgendo reparavit. Et ideo, &c.

T is truly meet and just, right and available to salvation, to praise thee, O Lord, at all times, but chiefly on this night or day, or at this time,] when Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us. For he is the true Lamb who has taken away the sins of the world. Who by dying has destroyed our death, and by rising again has restored us to life. And therefore, &c.

From ASCENSION DAY till Whitsun-Eve. *Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Qui post resurrectionem suam omnibus discipulis suis manifestus apparuit, et ipsis cernentibus est elevatus in cœlum, ut nos Divinitatis suæ tribueret esse participes. + Etideo,&c.

* Thro' Christ our Lord. Who after his resurrection appeared openly to all his disciples, and in their presence ascended into heaven, to make us partakers of his divine nature, +And therefore, &c.
