Jesus Christ, thine only Son, to be born * [as on this day] 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 with Angels, &c. [Margin Note:] *_During the seven days after Christmas say_, as at this time. _Upon_ EASTER-DAY, _and seven days after_. But chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious Resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord: For he is the very Paschal Lamb which was offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; who by his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again, hath restored to us everlasting life.

Therefore with Angels, &c. _Upon_ PENTECOST _or_ WHITSUNDAY, _and six days after_.

Therefore with Angels, &c. [Margin Note:] * _During the six days after Whitsunday say_, as at this time. _Upon the Feast of_ TRINITY _only_. 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 inequality. Therefore with Angels, &c. | _The following may be used at the discretion of the Minister_. | | ADDITIONAL PROPER PREFACES. | | _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.
