WHy doth our Ladies Office alwaies begin with an AVE MARIA A. To dedicate the Office to our Lady and beg her aid for the devout performance of it to Gods honour Q. VVhy doe we begin every Houre with Incline unto mine aid O God O Lord make hast to helpe me A. To acknowledge our infirmity and misery and the great need we have of divine assistance not only in all other things but also in our very prayers according to that of the Apostle No man can say LORD JESUS but in the Holy Ghost Q. VVhy do we add to this Glory be to the Father and to the Sonne and to the Holy Ghost A. To signifie that the intention of the Office is in the first place to give one equall glory to the most Blessed Trinity and to invite all creatures to do the like this is the principall aime of the whole Office therefore we not onely begin every Houre but also end every Psalme with the same Verse Q. VVho ordained the GLORIA PATRI A. The Apostles according to Baronius in his 3. Tome the yeare of Christ 325. Q. Why do we joyne unto the GLORIA PATRI SICUT ERAT As it was in the beginning both now and alwaies world without end A. Because that was made by the Councell of Nice against the Arrians who denied Christ to be coequall and consubstantiall to his Father or to have been before the Virgin Mary Q. Why after this for a great part of the yeare and especially betwixt Easter and Whitsontide doe we say ALLELUIA ALLELUIA A. Because that is a time of joy and ALLELUIA is an Hebrew word signifying Praise ye the Lord with all joy and exultation of heart Q. Why were it not better changed into English A. Because it is the language of the very Blessed in heaven according to Apoc. ch 8. v. 6. Therefore the Church hath forbidden it to be translated into any other language Q. Why in Lent and some other times do we say instead of ALLELUIA Praise be to thee O Lord King of eternall glory A. Because those are times of penance and therefore God must be praised rather with teares then exultation Q. VVhy do we alwaies say for the Invitatory Haile ●ary full of grace our Lord is with thee A. To congratulate and renew the memory of our Blessed Ladies joy conceived at the conception of her Sonne Jesus and to invite both men and Angells to doe the like Q. VVhat signifie the five Verses following the Invitatory which begin Come let us exult unto our Lord A. The five wounds of Christ from which all our Prayer hath its force and merit and in honour of which those Versicles are said Q. VVhat meane the Hymnes A. They are a Poeticall expression of the Prerogatives and Praises of our Lady Q. VVhy are so many Psalmes used in the Office A. Because they were dictated by the Holy Ghost and do containe in a most moving manner all the affections of piety and devotion Q. Why are there but three Psalmes in most of the houres A. In honour of the most Blessed Trinity to whom chiefly the whole Office is directed Q. Why was the Office divided into so many Houres A. I have told you the chief reason already and one other reason was that so there might be no houre either of day or night to which some Houre of the Office might not correspond Q. What doe the Mattins correspond to A. To the first second and third Watch of the night consisting of three houres apiece and therefore the Mattins consist of three Psalms and three Lessons Q. What doe the Lauds correspond to A. To the fourth Watch of the night Q. VVhat doe the Prime the third the sixth and ninth houres correspond to A. To the first the third the sixth and ninth houres of the day Q. VVhat do the Evensong and Compline correspond to A. To the Evening Q. VVhat mean the Benedictions or Blessings given before the Eessons A. They are short Aspirations to beg divine assistance and the first is in honour of the Father the second in honour of the Son the third in honour of the Holy Ghost Q. What do the Lessons contain A. The mysticall praises of our Blessed Lady taken out of the Prophets Q. Why doe we end every Lesson saying But thou O Lord have mercy on us A. To beg that the praises and vertues of our Lady which we have there read may be deeply setled in our hearts and that God would pardon our former negligence in both his and her service Q. Why is it answered Thanks be to God A. To render thankes to God for his mercy in bestowing such a Patronesse on us as the Blessed Virgin Mary Q. What mean the Responsories A. They are so called because they answer unto one another Q. VVhat are the Antiphones A. The Verticles which are begun before the Psalmes Q. VVhy doe wee rise up and stand at the MAGNIFICAT BENEDICTUS and NUNC DIMITTIS A. To signifie our reverence to the Gospell out of which those are taken Q. VVhat is the Collect A. It is the Prayer and is so called because it collecteth and gathereth together all the Petitions and supplications of the whole Office Q. VVhy is the Collect alwaies ended with those words Through our Lord Jesus Christ c. A. To signifie that he is our only Mediator of Redemption and principal Mediator of Intercession and that we cannot merit any thing by our prayers unlesse we make them in his Name Q. VVhy make we a Commemoration of the Saints A. To praise God in his Saints according to the advice of the Psalmist Psa 150. and to commend our felves to their merits and prayers Q. VVhy end we every houre with those words And let the soules of the faithfull through the mercy of God rest in peace A. That the poore soules in Purgatory may be partakers of all our Prayers and supplications Q. VVhy is the whole Office ended with some Hymne or Antiphone to our Lady A. That by her it may be presented to her Son and by him to his eternall Father FINIS A Table of the Chapters and principall Contents of this Book Chap. 1.
