understand_v latin_a may_v do_v well_o to_o attend_v to_o the_o preface_n which_o savour_v of_o much_o piety_n and_o yield_v abundant_a matter_n of_o devotion_n for_o those_o who_o be_v ignorant_a thereof_o i_o will_v draw_v the_o most_o considerable_a motive_n for_o their_o devotion_n and_o for_o this_o end_n i_o shall_v divide_v it_o into_o five_o consideration_n the_o first_o consideration_n be_v that_o the_o priest_n confirm_v the_o answer_n which_o we_o make_v concern_v our_o give_a thanks_o to_o god_n tell_v we_o very_o it_o be_v meet_a and_o just_a right_o and_o wholesome_a to_o do_v so_o meet_v for_o the_o benefit_n here_o propound_v and_o just_o for_o god_n make_v man_n by_o this_o eucharist_n here_o communicate_v his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n right_o for_o its_o weight_n and_o merit_n wholesome_a as_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n or_o meet_v because_o he_o be_v good_a just_o because_o he_o be_v beneficent_a right_o because_o he_o be_v merciful_a wholesome_a because_o he_o be_v our_o soul_n medicine_n again_o meet_v because_o out_o of_o his_o mercy_n and_o pleasure_n he_o have_v create_v we_o just_o because_o out_o of_o pure_a goodness_n he_o have_v redeem_a we_o right_o because_o he_o have_v free_o and_o gratis_o justify_v we_o wholesome_a because_o he_o have_v predestinate_v we_o to_o glory_n and_o he_o invite_v we_o always_o to_o praise_n god_n by_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v our_o holy_a lord_n omnipotent_a father_n and_o eternal_a god_n for_o all_o sanctity_n come_v from_o he_o and_o by_o his_o power_n alone_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v institute_v who_o fruit_n be_v eternity_n and_o then_o tell_v the_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o effectual_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o second_o consideration_n be_v that_o the_o angel_n and_o all_o the_o whole_a court_n of_o heaven_n do_v adore_v and_o with_o mutual_a concord_n and_o consent_n by_o inflame_a lay_n of_o charity_n do_v celebrate_v god_n praise_n and_o glory_n this_o the_o church_n propound_v unto_o we_o for_o imitation_n for_o if_o these_o heavenly_a spirit_n do_v continual_o praise_v god_n because_o they_o be_v always_o in_o his_o presence_n the_o church_n insinuate_v thereby_o the_o great_a reverence_n adoration_n and_o honour_n we_o ought_v to_o give_v to_o our_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n which_o if_o we_o do_v all_o these_o supernal_a spirit_n will_v help_v we_o in_o this_o action_n that_o as_o they_o perpetual_o rejoice_v in_o god_n by_o inflame_a love_n so_o we_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v and_o exult_v with_o ardent_a love_n of_o he_o who_o have_v manifest_v his_o infinite_a love_n to_o we_o in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n three_o we_o may_v consider_v that_o the_o church_n militant_a desire_n to_o join_v with_o the_o church_n triumphant_a to_o make_v one_o choir_n and_o the_o faithful_a people_n present_a know_v their_o own_o frailty_n and_o indignity_n make_v humble_a supplication_n that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o grace_n to_o make_v they_o worthy_a to_o make_v a_o part_n with_o the_o heavenly_a choir_n in_o this_o holy_a sacrifice_n for_o as_o florus_n say_v the_o holy_a church_n be_v to_o be_v associate_v to_o the_o quire_n of_o angel_n and_o with_o the_o angel_n persist_v in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o now_o in_o this_o holy_a sacrifice_n as_o st._n chrysostome_n teach_v the_o angel_n be_v ready_a to_o join_v with_o we_o at_o that_o time_n say_v he_o the_o angel_n accompany_v the_o priest_n and_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o celestial_a power_n cry_v out_o the_o whole_a place_n near_o the_o altar_n in_o his_o honour_n who_o be_v there_o immolate_a be_v full_a of_o angelical_a quire_n four_o we_o may_v devout_o consider_v how_o the_o church_n here_o specify_v the_o song_n or_o canticle_n which_o the_o angel_n continual_o sing_v in_o heaven_n declare_v by_o the_o prophet_n isay_n and_o st._n john_n evangelist_n by_o the_o greek_n call_v teisagion_n a_o thrice_o holy_a canticle_n that_o be_v holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n of_o host_n all_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o thy_o glory_n st._n ambrose_n affirm_v that_o we_o can_v give_v to_o god_n a_o more_o precious_a title_n or_o more_o suitable_a to_o his_o glory_n than_o to_o call_v he_o holy_a for_o it_o be_v to_o say_v in_o one_o word_n all_o the_o substantial_a and_o incomprehensible_a perfection_n of_o his_o deity_n and_o by_o this_o term_n holy_a in_o this_o place_n we_o understand_v god_n to_o be_v the_o abiss_n of_o sanctity_n from_o whence_o angel_n and_o man_n participate_v all_o their_o sanctity_n as_o the_o sun_n beam_n receive_v light_a from_o the_o sun_n as_o therefore_o the_o seraphin_n and_o angel_n do_v thrice_o repeat_v this_o holy_a so_o ought_v we_o in_o this_o place_n for_o as_o st._n damascene_fw-la say_v the_o deity_n be_v thrice_o declare_v holy_a and_o glorify_a when_o sanctus_n or_o holy_a be_v say_v three_o time_n whence_o procopius_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o seraphin_n do_v not_o only_o once_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n but_o reiterate_v they_o often_o yea_o infinite_a time_n for_o by_o the_o number_n of_o three_o we_o may_v understand_v a_o multitude_n so_o that_o by_o say_v that_o they_o sing_v holy_a three_o time_n we_o may_v take_v it_o all_o time_n for_o this_o be_v their_o continual_a song_n whereto_o we_o hope_v to_o add_v our_o part_n with_o they_o in_o heaven_n as_o they_o join_v with_o we_o in_o this_o holy_a sacrifice_n wherefore_o it_o be_v add_v lord_n god_n of_o sabaoth_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o name_n the_o israelite_n do_v give_v to_o god_n and_o be_v not_o translate_v in_o the_o latin_a church_n for_o that_o the_o word_n sabaoth_v be_v a_o exceed_a expression_n in_o any_o other_o language_n but_o by_o many_o it_o be_v interpret_v lord_n god_n of_o host_n or_o army_n which_o be_v fit_o say_v here_o for_o in_o these_o word_n both_o angel_n and_o man_n do_v make_v homage_n to_o their_o god_n acknowledge_v he_o for_o their_o lord_n with_o this_o canticle_n wherein_o the_o host_n or_o army_n of_o the_o celestial_a spirit_n and_o the_o host_n or_o army_n of_o christ_n church_n at_o this_o time_n make_v one_o make_v a_o army_n of_o a_o camp_n set_v in_o array_n do_v joint_o and_o in_o due_a order_n praise_n magnify_v and_o adore_v god_n whence_o consequent_o it_o be_v say_v all_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o his_o glory_n the_o heaven_n be_v full_a of_o it_o already_o now_o it_o be_v fit_v that_o the_o earth_n also_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o the_o same_o all_o man_n on_o earth_n ought_v to_o sing_v his_o glory_n even_o as_o the_o angel_n do_v in_o heaven_n the_o five_o consideration_n may_v be_v of_o the_o hymn_n which_o st._n matthew_n relate_v when_o the_o multitude_n that_o go_v before_o and_o follow_v cry_v say_v hosanna_n to_o the_o son_n of_o david_n bless_a be_v he_o that_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n hosanna_n in_o the_o high_a which_o be_v the_o same_o word_n the_o priest_n say_v here_o now_o since_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v
full_a of_o god_n glory_n it_o be_v convenient_a that_o both_o angel_n and_o man_n shall_v sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n as_o therefore_o in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o angel_n we_o do_v sing_v holy_a holy_a holy_a so_o in_o this_o hymn_n we_o invite_v they_o to_o assist_v we_o or_o rather_o follow_v their_o example_n we_o sing_v another_o hymn_n or_o canticle_n of_o praise_n hosanna_n which_o signify_v triumph_n and_o have_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o exultation_n and_o joy_n bless_a or_o praise_v be_v he_o that_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n blessed_n be_v he_o who_o by_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o redeem_v we_o by_o his_o passion_n in_o which_o sense_n the_o priest_n sign_n himself_o with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n praise_v and_o bless_v be_v he_o who_o come_v to_o feed_v we_o in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o bless_v be_v he_o who_o out_o of_o his_o infinite_a love_n be_v come_v to_o we_o in_o this_o holy_a

the_o high_a manner_n we_o can_v give_v it_o move_v by_o all_o these_o title_n and_o reason_n let_v we_o bless_v and_o praise_v our_o lord_n with_o thanksgiving_n imitate_v the_o prophet_n david_n who_o say_v i_o will_v bless_v our_o lord_n at_o all_o time_n his_o praise_n be_v always_o in_o my_o mouth_n second_o let_v we_o devout_o join_v with_o the_o angel_n and_o all_o the_o celestial_a spirit_n in_o praise_v and_o adore_v our_o god_n but_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v good_a heed_n lest_o any_o thing_n be_v dissonant_n on_o our_o part_n for_o if_o the_o string_n of_o the_o

with_o they_o and_o that_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o withal_o we_o take_v their_o own_o word_n for_o as_o st._n gregory_n say_v we_o now_o praise_v god_n on_o earth_n with_o the_o same_o
