(bb) Antiphon.

:

Perfect God, and perfect Man of a reasonable soul, and human flesh subsisting ;

:

Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.

Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ.

:

One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh but by taking of the Manhood into God;

One altogether; not by confusion of substance: but by unity of Person.

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is one Christ;

Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead;

He ascended into heaven; he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies and shall give account of their own works.

:

And they that have done good, shall go into life everlasting and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholic Faith: which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved. Glory be, &c.

Praise ye the Lord, Hallelujah, Praise ye the Lord.

O God, make speed to save me.

O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be, &c.
Amen. Hallelujah.

Come, Holy Ghost, who ever One
Art with the Father and the Son;
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls possess
With Thy full flood of Holiness.

Let mouth, and heart, and flesh combine
To herald forth our Creed divine,
And love so wrap our mortal frame,
Others may catch the living flame.

This grace on Thy redeemed confer,
Father, Co-equal Son,

And Holy Ghost, the Comforter,

Eternal Three in One. Amen.

(kk) Antiphon. Psalm 119. (1)

33-48.

Praise ye the Lord.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes: and I shall keep it unto the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law : yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments: for therein is my desire.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies: and not to covet

ousness.

turn away mine eyes lest they behold vanity: and quicken thou me in thy way.

O stablish thy word in thy servant: that I may fear thee. Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of: for thy judgments are good.

Behold, my delight is in thy commandments: O quicken me in thy righteousness.

Let thy loving mercy come also unto me, O Lord: even thy salvation, according unto thy word.

So shall I make answer unto my blasphemers: for my trust is in thy word.
