BENEDICTUS. ST. LUKE 1. 68. DLESSED be the Lord God of Israel : for he hath visited, and redeemed his people ; And hath raised up a mighty sal va'tion for us : in the house of his ser'vant | David; As he spake by the mouth of his hoʻly | Prophets : which have been | since the world' belgan; That we should be saved | from our enemies : and from the hands of all that | hate us ; To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers : and to remember' his hoʻly | Covenant; To perform the oath which he sware to our || fore'father | Abraham : that he - would - | give us ; That we being delivered out of the hand of our | enemies : might | serve' him | with’out | fear; w In holiness and righteousness' before him : all the days of our - | life. And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the | Highest : for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord | to prepare' his / ways; To give knowledge of salvation un to' his , people : for the remis'sion of their , sins, Through the tender mercy of our God : whereby the Day-spring from' on | high' hath | visited us; 1 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow' of death : and to guide our feet in to' the way' of peace. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the | Hoʻly | Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and | e’ver | shall be : world | with'out | end. Almen. Or this Psaly JUBILATE DEO. PSAL. C. Lord with gladness, and come before his , pre'sence / with' a | song. Be ye sure that the Lord | he' is God : it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the / sheep of his | pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts' with praise : be thankful unto him, and speak' good of his | Name. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is | e'verlasting : and his truth endureth from generation' to ge'neration. Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son : and | to' the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and e’ver | shall be : world with out | end. Amen. OMMY QUICUNQUE VULT. W HOSOEVER will be sav'ed : before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholick | Faith. Which Faith except every one do keep whole and | unde'filed : without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholick Faith | is' this : That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in | Unity; Neither con founding the Persons : nor dividing the Substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son : and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is | all'one : the Glory equal, the Majesty co-esternal. Such as the Father is, / such is the Son : and such is the Holy Ghost. The Father uncreate, the Son / uncre’ate : and the Holy Ghost un cre'ate. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incompre'hensible : and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible. The Father eternal, the Son e'ternal : and the Holy Ghost esternal. And yet they are not | three e'ternals : but one eternal. |
