ore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of
heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising
thee, and saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and
earth are full of thy glory: Glory be to thee, O Lord most High.
Amen.

Proper Prefaces.

_Upon_ Christmas Day, _and seven days after_.

Because thou didst give Jesus Christ thine only Son to be born as
at this time for us; who, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, was
made very man of the substance of the Virgin Mary his mother; and
that without spot of sin, to make us clean from all sin. Therefore
with Angels, &c.

_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_ Ascension Day, _and seven days after_.

Through thy most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who
after his most glorious Resurrection manifestly appeared to all
his Apostles, and in their sight ascended up into heaven to
prepare a place for us; that where he is, thither we might also
ascend, and reign with him in glory. Therefore with Angels, &c.

_Upon_ Whitsunday, _and six days after_.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; according to whose most true
promise, the Holy Ghost came down as at this time from heaven
with a sudden great sound, as it had been a mighty wind, in the
likeness of fiery tongues, lighting upon the Apostles, to teach
them, and to lead them to all truth; giving them both the gift of
divers languages, and also boldness with fervent zeal constantly
to preach the Gospel unto all nations; whereby we have been
brought out of darkness and error into the clear light and true
knowledge of thee, and of thy Son Jesus Christ. Therefore with
Angels, &c.

_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 in equality. Therefore with Angels, &c.
