what is chanted thereat, both Gospel and Alleluia as far as oblata, it is a commemoration of the law of the Prophets wherein Christ was manifestly foretold, save that it was not seen until He was born.

7. The elevation of the Chalice, after the full uncovering thereof, qtiando canitur oblata, that is a commemoration of Christ's birth and of His glory through signs and miracles.

8. Quando canitur: Accepit lesus panem, the priest bows himself down thrice to repent of his sins. He offers it (the chalice) to God, [and chants Miserere mei Deus f and the people kneels, and here no voice f. 65a cometh lest it disturb the priest, for this is the right of it, that his mind separate not from God while he chants this lesson. Hence its nomen is periculosa oratio.

9. The three steps which the ordained man steppeth backwards and which he again steps forward, this is the triad in which everyone sins, to wit, in word, in thought, in deed ; and this is the triad of things by which he is renovated iterum and by which he is moved to Christ's Body.

10. The examination wherewith the priest examines the Chalice and the Host, and the effort which he essays to break it, that is a figure of the insults and of the buffets and of the seizure (of Christ).

11. The Host on the paten (is) Christ's Flesh on the tree of the Cross.

12. The fraction on the paten is the breaking of Christ's Body with nails on the Cross.

13. The meeting wherewith the two halves meet after the fraction (is) a figure of the wholeness of Christ's Body after His resurrection. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
