Of the Form of the TEMPLE AS the Jacobites observe some Ceremonies which the Christians do not use so their Churches differ in some manner from those in Europe and other Countries having three partitions or Wings and three Sanctuaries in the first partition near the middle Sanctuary are all the Ecclesiasticks Nobles and Singers in the second the Common people and those which are poor and in the third the Women But in the Sanctuary viz. the middle only the Priests and their Ministers to wit Deacons Sub-Deacons c. it being not lawful for any of inferior Orders to enter into it the other two Sanctuaries are of each side where they generally use to do what belongs to the Ministery and these are used by the Jacobites on Palm-Sunday and the Feast of the Nativity of our Saviour Jesus Christ which we call Christmas the reason of which you will see in the Chapter following Besides these three platforms there are other particular places as the Vestry where the Priests and Ministers put on their Garments another where they put their Reliques and Images c. to which they are much addicted and a third where is the Font of Baptism c. and these places are all round the said Wings or partitions in the third wherein the Women are there is sometimes in the middle a Pool which on Twelf-day or Epiphany is filled every Year with Water of which in the next Chapter There are likewise in these three partitions Oratories which do serve for other Religions as Aethiopians Armenians Chaldaeans Graecians c. wherein on Holy-days they are wont to celebrate their Masses CHAP. VII Of Ecclesiastical Ceremonies THey have some particular Ceremonies quite different from other people which they boast to have received from their Ancestors and which they dote upon so much to this day that they think it unlawful to depart from them so much as a hair's breadth such are those observed on the LORD's Day and other Holy Feasts of Apostles and Martyrs On the Sabbath or Preparation before the Lord's Day or Eve of any Saint they come all together into the Church whither Men or Women with naked Feet and such as are able bring with them a Mantle or Covering with which they invellope themselves when they come to sleep that Night in the Church whose Floor for this purpose is covered with Matts or Carpets according to the Dignity of the place and when the Evening-prayers are ended all whether Clerks or Laymen sing together in the Choire the Orations and Psalms belonging to the Evening-Service which finished they go all into several places to sleep only the place where the Women are is shut up that Men be not amongst them But those that are near the Temple sleep in their Houses who being call'd by a Clerk an hour or two before day come and joyn with the rest who slept that Night in the Church and having girded themselves go with the Priests and other Ministers into the Choire where they begin Mattins or Morning-prayers after which they sing the Hymns and Canonical Hours as they call them viz. the first third and ninth Hours which Hours Morning and Evening contain forty eight psalms to be repeated by turns the Priest and the chiefest of the people singing every one a psalm in the Arabick Tongue besides the Lessons and Gospels which are first recited in the Coptic and then in the Arabick that all may understand the prayers are only read in the Coptic Which done the Priest with the Deacon and Sub-Deacon and Acolytes who serve always at Mass begins it and when they are all bowed down to the ground recites the Introit before the Door of the Sanctuary in the Coptic Language which performed he enters into the Sanctuary with the Ministers having all Censors in their hands and goes three times about the Altar and blesses it then comes the Clerk to the Door of the Sanctuary with the Host Wine and Water all which the Deacon receives in the Sanctuary with great modesty and lays them before the Priest who puts them all in order to be consecrated Then he begins some Oraisons and Hymns and the people sing with him and if there be any Story of a Saint belonging to the day the Priest reads it in the Coptic Tongue which done the Sub-Deacon begins the first Epistle taken out of the Old Testament also in the Coptic Language then another viz. Sub-Deacon reads two Epistles in Arabick one taken out of St. Paul and the other a general one and after he has recited some few Hymns and Oraisons he reads the Gospel appointed for the day Then the Priest solemnly begins the Preface in the Coptic and is fol'owed by the Choire that sings the rest and the Litany which the Priest alone repeats in the Sanctuary with a clear and audible Voice in the same Tongue and when the Preface is ended then he consecrates Bread and Wine the people attending to him with great Devotion which done the Priest takes first the Sacrament then the Deacon Sub-Deacon and the other Ministers and if there be any of the people present the Priest gives them of the same Host and the Deacon in a Spoon of Silver or Gold gives them of the Blood So that they all partake of one Host or consecrated Bread which weighs one pound at least But before the distribution the Priest holding of the Cup and the Deacon having the Host upon a plate they go out of the Sanctuary face to face that is mutually looking upon another so that he that goes foremost goes backwards like a Sea-crab so they go thro' the Choire and the
