From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body. And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Fructum salutíferum.
The Lord brought forth His fruit in the season of His death,
Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Fructum salutíferum gustándum dedit Dóminus mortis suæ témpore.
The Lord brought forth His fruit in the season of His death, even that fruit whereof if any man eat, he shall live for ever.
A fructu fruménti.

Psalmus 4.
Cum invocárem exaudívit me Deus justítiæ meæ: * in tribulatióne dilatásti mihi.
2 Miserére mei, * et exaúdi oratiónem meam.
3 Fílii hóminum úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem, et quǽritis mendácium?
4 Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exaúdiet me cum clamávero ad eum.
5 Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.
6 Sacrificáte sacrifícium justítiæ, † et speráte in Dómino. * Multi dicunt: Quis osténdit nobis bona?
7 Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo.

When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: * when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.
2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, * they are multiplied.
9 In peace in the selfsame * I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 For thou, O Lord, singularly * hast settled me in hope.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 15.

2 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.
3 Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.
4 Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.
5 Dóminus pars hæreditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hæreditátem meam mihi.
6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim hæréditas mea præclára est mihi.
7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
11 Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: * at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

De libro primo Regum.
Lesson from the first book of Samuel
I. Reg. 6.
Fuit ergo arca Dómini in regióne Philisthinórum septem ménsibus. Et vocavérunt Philísthiim sacerdótes et divínos, dicéntes: Quid faciémus de arca Dómini? indicáte nobis quómodo remittámus eam in locum suum. Qui dixérunt: Si remíttitis arcam Dei Israël, nolíte dimíttere eam vácuam, sed quod debétis, réddite ei pro peccáto, et tunc curabímini: et sciétis quare non recédat manus ejus a vobis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months. And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place? And they said: If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Quare aggravátis corda vestra, sicut aggravávit Ægýptus, et Phárao cor suum? nonne postquam percússus est, tunc dimísit eos, et abiérunt? Nunc ergo arrípite et fácite plaustrum novum unum: et duas vaccas fœtas, quibus non est impósitum jugum, júngite in plaustro, et reclúdite vítulos eárum domi. Tolletísque arcam Dómini, et ponétis in plaustro, et vasa aúrea, quæ exsolvístis ei pro delícto, ponétis in capséllam ad latus ejus: et dimíttite eam ut vadat. Et aspiciétis: et si quidem per viam fínium suórum ascénderit contra Béthsames, ipse fecit nobis hoc malum grande; sin autem, mínime: sciémus quia nequáquam manus ejus tétigit nos, sed casu áccidit. Fecérunt ergo illi hoc modo.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed? Now therefore take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box, at the side thereof: and send it away that it may go. And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance. They did therefore in this manner.

Ibant autem in diréctum vaccæ per viam, quæ ducit Béthsames, et itínere uno gradiebántur, pergéntes et mugiéntes: et non declinábant neque ad déxteram neque ad sinístram: sed et sátrapæ Philísthiim sequebántur usque ad términos Béthsames. Porro Bethsamítæ metébant tríticum in valle: et elevántes óculos suos, vidérunt arcam, et gavísi sunt cum vidíssent. Et plaustrum venit in agrum Jósue Bethsamítæ, et stetit ibi. Erat autem ibi lapis magnus, et concidérunt ligna plaustri, vaccásque imposuérunt super ea holocaústum Dómino. Levítæ autem deposuérunt arcam Dei.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And the kine took the straight way that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames. Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. And the cart came into the field of Josue a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord. And the Levites took down the ark of God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

11 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
12 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
13 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
14 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
15 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
16 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

Ex Epístola sancti Cypriáni Epíscopi et Mártyris ad Cæcílium.
From the Letter written to Caecilius by the Holy Martyr Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage.
Liber 2. Epistola 3. sub init.
In sacerdóte Melchísedech sacrifícii Domínici sacraméntum præfigurátum vidémus, secúndum quod Scriptúra divína testátur, et dicit: Et Melchísedech rex Salem prótulit panem et vinum. Fuit autem sacérdos Dei summi, et benedíxit Abraham. Quod autem Melchísedech typum Christi portáret, declárat in Psalmis Spíritus sanctus, ex persóna Patris ad Fílium dicens: Ante lucíferum génui te: Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech. Qui ordo útique hic est de sacrifício illo véniens, et inde descéndens, quod Melchísedech sacérdos Dei summi fuit, quod panem et vinum óbtulit, quod Abraham benedíxit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
In the deed of the Priest Melchisedek we see a type of the Sacrament of the Lord's Sacrifice. For thus it is written in the writings of God "And Melchisedek King of Salem brought forth bread and wine for he was the Priest of the Most High God and he blessed Abraham." (Gen. xiv. 18.) That Melchisedek was a type of Christ, the Holy Ghost Himself doth testify in the Psalms, where the First Person of the Holy Trinity, even the Father, is set before us as saying unto the Second Person, that is, the Son "Before the daystar have I begotten thee. Thou art a Priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek." (cix. 3, 4.) And verily that sameness of order cometh of this sacrifice, and procedeth from this, that Melchisedek was the Priest of the Most High God that he offered bread and wine and that he blessed Abraham.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Nam quis magis sacérdos Dei summi, quam Dóminus noster Jesus Christus? qui sacrifícium Deo Patri óbtulit: et óbtulit hoc idem, quod Melchísedech obtúlerat, id est, panem et vinum, suum scílicet corpus et sánguinem. Et circa Abraham benedíctio illa præcédens, ad nostrum pópulum pertinébat. Nam si Abraham Deo crédidit, et deputátum est ei ad justítiam: útique quisquis Deo credit, et fide vivit, justus invenítur, et jam pridem in Abraham fidéli benedíctus et justificátus osténditur, sicut beátus Apóstolus Paulus probat, dicens: Crédidit Abraham Deo, et deputátum est ei ad justítiam. Cognóscitis ergo, quia qui ex fide sunt, hi sunt fílii Abrahæ. Próvidens autem Scriptúra, quia ex fide justíficat gentes Deus, prænuntiávit Abrahæ, quia benedicéntur in illo omnes gentes.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
What Priest of the Most High God is there, more so than is our Lord Jesus Christ He Who hath made an offering unto God the Father, and the same offering that Melchisedek made, bread and wine, that is to say, His Own Flesh and His Own Blood. And, as touching Abraham, that ancient blessing was spoken likewise by fore-knowledge upon us. For if Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, verily, whosoever believeth God and liveth by faith, the same is found righteous, and is shown unto us that he is already blessed in faithful Abraham, and justified as the Apostle Paul proveth, where he saith: "Abraham believed God and it was accounted unto him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying In thee shall all nations be blessed." (Gal. iii. 6-8.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Amen.
Ut ergo in Génesi per Melchísedech sacerdótem benedíctio circa Abraham posset rite celebrári, præcédit ante imágo sacrifícii, in pane et vino scílicet constitúta. Quam rem perfíciens, et adímplens Dóminus, panem et cálicem mixtum vino óbtulit: et qui est plenitúdo, veritátem præfigurátæ imáginis adimplévit. Sed et per Salomónem Spíritus sanctus typum Domínici sacrifícii ante præmónstrat, immolátæ hóstiæ, et panis et vini, sed et altáris, et Apostolórum fáciens mentiónem: Sapiéntia, inquit, ædificávit sibi domum, et súbdidit colúmnas septem: mactávit suas hóstias, míscuit in cratére vinum suum, et parávit mensam suam. Et misit servos suos cónvocans cum excélsa prædicatióne ad cratérem, dicens: Qui est insípiens, declínet ad me. Et egéntibus sensu dixit: Veníte, édite de meis pánibus, et bíbite vinum quod míscui vobis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
In Genesis, therefore, in order that the Priest Melchisedek might in due order pronounce the blessing upon Abraham, there was first offered a typical sacrifice, consisting of bread and wine. This was the offering which our Lord Jesus Christ completed and fulfilled, when He offered up bread and a cup of wine mingled with water. This fulfilment by Him Who came to fulfill (Matth. v. 17,) utterly satisfied the truth of the image which had gone before. The Holy Ghost doth by Solomon also clearly foreshadow, as it were in a parable, the Lord's Sacrifice, pointing to the victim slain, and the bread and the wine, and the Altar likewise, and the Apostles as it is written "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars she hath killed her beasts, she hath mingled her wine, she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her servants, she crieth upon the highest places of the city, saying Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither unto me. As for them that want understanding, she saith to them. Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled for you." (Prov. ix. 1-5.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 42.
Júdica me Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta, * ab hómine iníquo, et dolóso érue me.
2 Quia tu es Deus fortitúdo mea: * Quare me repulísti? et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
3 Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam: * ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernácula tua.
4 Et introíbo ad altáre Dei: * ad Deum, qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
5 Confitébor tibi in cíthara Deus meus: * quare tristis es ánima mea? et quare contúrbas me?
6 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: * deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2 For thou art God my strength: * why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3 Send forth thy light and thy truth: * they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4 And I will go in to the altar of God: * to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5 To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: * why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Introíbo ad altáre Dei: sumam Christum, qui rénovat juventútem meam.

Psalmus 80.
Exsultáte Deo adjutóri nostro: * jubiláte Deo Jacob.
2 Súmite psalmum, et date týmpanum: * psaltérium jucúndum cum cíthara.
3 Buccináte in Neoménia tuba, * in insígni die solemnitátis vestræ.
4 Quia præcéptum in Israël est: * et judícium Deo Jacob.
5 Testimónium in Joseph pósuit illud, cum exíret de terra Ægýpti: * linguam, quam non nóverat, audívit.
6 Divértit ab onéribus dorsum ejus: * manus ejus in cóphino serviérunt.
7 In tribulatióne invocásti me, et liberávi te: * exaudívi te in abscóndito tempestátis: probávi te apud aquam contradictiónis.
8 Audi pópulus meus, et contestábor te: * Israël si audíeris me, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum.
9 Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti: * diláta os tuum, et implébo illud.
10 Et non audívit pópulus meus vocem meam: * et Israël non inténdit mihi.
11 Et dimísi eos secúndum desidéria cordis eórum, * ibunt in adinventiónibus suis.
12 Si pópulus meus audísset me: * Israël si in viis meis ambulásset:
13 Pro níhilo fórsitan inimícos eórum humiliássem: * et super tribulántes eos misíssem manum meam.
14 Inimíci Dómini mentíti sunt ei: * et erit tempus eórum in sǽcula.
15 Et cibávit eos ex ádipe fruménti: * et de petra, melle saturávit eos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Rejoice to God our helper: * sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 Take up a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity.
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.
6 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me, there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
9 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
10 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.
11 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.
12 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:
13 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
14 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.
15 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, * and filled them with honey out of the rock.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Cibávit nos Dóminus ex ádipe fruménti: et de petra, melle saturávit nos.
The Lord hath fed us with the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the Rock hath He satisfied us.

7 Etenim benedictiónem dabit legislátor, ibunt de virtúte in virtútem: * vidébitur Deus deórum in Sion.
8 Dómine Deus virtútum exaúdi oratiónem meam: * aúribus pércipe Deus Jacob.
9 Protéctor noster áspice Deus: * et réspice in fáciem Christi tui:
10 Quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis, * super míllia.
11 Elégi abjéctus esse in domo Dei mei: * magis quam habitáre in tabernáculis peccatórum.
12 Quia misericórdiam, et veritátem díligit Deus: * grátiam et glóriam dabit Dóminus.
13 Non privábit bonis eos, qui ámbulant in innocéntia: * Dómine virtútum, beátus homo, qui sperat in te.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! * My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord.

4 Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, * my king and my God.
5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: * they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: * in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, in the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.
7 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: * the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: * give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Behold, O God our protector: * and look on the face of thy Christ.
10 For better is one day in thy courts * above thousands.
11 I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, * rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12 For God loveth mercy and truth: * the Lord will give grace and glory.
13 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: * O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Tractatus 26. in Joann., circa medium.
Non sicut manducavérunt patres vestri manna, et mórtui sunt, Quare manducavérunt, et mórtui sunt? Quia quod vidébant, credébant: quod non vidébant, non intelligébant. Ideo patres vestri, quia símiles estis illórum. Nam quantum pértinet, fratres mei, ad mortem istam visíbilem et corporálem, numquid nos non mórimur, qui manducámus panem de cœlo descendéntem? Sic sunt mórtui et illi, quemádmodum et nos sumus moritúri: quantum áttinet, ut dixi, ad mortem hujus córporis visíbilem atque carnálem.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
"Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead." Wherefore did they eat and die Because they believed only that which they saw and that which they saw not, they understood not. Therefore were they your fathers, because ye are like unto them. Doth this death, my brethren, mean that death which is outward and bodily And do not we also die, who eat of that Bread Which cometh down from heaven That death died they, and so shall we also, as far, as I have said, as is meant that death which is outward and bodily.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Quantum autem pértinet ad illam mortem, de qua terret Dóminus, qua mórtui sunt patres istórum: manducávit manna et Móyses, manducávit manna et Aaron, manducávit manna et Phínees, manducavérunt ibi multi, qui Dómino placuérunt, et mórtui non sunt. Quare? Quia visíbilem cibum spiritáliter intellexérunt, spiritáliter esuriérunt, spiritáliter gustavérunt, ut spiritáliter satiaréntur. Nam et nos hódie accípimus visíbilem cibum: sed áliud est sacraméntum, áliud virtus sacraménti.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But the death whereof the Lord doth sound the alarm, the death that their fathers died, is another death than that which is outward and bodily. Moses ate manna, Aaron ate manna, Phinehas ate manna, many ate manna in whom the Lord was well pleased and these are not dead. Wherefore Because they understood spiritually that outward bread, spiritually hungered thereafter, spiritually tasted thereof, and spiritually were satisfied therewith. So also do we this day feed on a visible food, but the Sacrament is one thing, and the grace of the Sacrament is another.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Quam multi de altári accípiunt, et moriúntur, et accipiéndo moriúntur! Unde dicit Apóstolus: Judícium sibi mandúcat et bibit. Nonne buccélla Domínica venénum fuit Judæ? Et tamen accépit. Et cum accépit, in eum inimícus intrávit: non quia malum accépit, sed quia bonum male malus accépit. Vidéte ergo fratres, panem cœléstem spiritáliter manducáte, innocéntiam ad altáre apportáte. Peccáta, etsi sunt quotidiána, vel non sint mortífera; ántequam ad altáre accedátis, atténdite quod dicátis: Dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Si dimíttis, dimittétur tibi: secúrus accéde, panis est, non venénum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
That eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself." ~(1 Cor. xi. 29.) Is it not written "When Jesus had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, and after the sop Satan entered into him" (John xiii. 26, 27.) And yet he took it. And when he had eaten it, the enemy entered in and possessed him. Not because what he ate was evil, but because he, being evil, dared to eat that which was good. Look to it well, then, brethren, that ye take spiritually the Bread Which cometh down from heaven. Bring innocency with you to the Altar. Though your sins be daily, let them not be deadly. Before ye draw near to the Altar, think well what it is that ye say "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us." "For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you" (Matth. vi. 14) and ye may draw near boldly, for unto you It is Bread, and not poison.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
