'GIVE US GRACE, o lord, so to follow his good exam- ple, that with HIM U'K MAY P,E PARTAKERS OF THY HEAV- ENLY' KINGDOM.' -©*■ PREFACE. A AT' HAT little is known in our communion of the Mozarabic Rite, so called, is generally derived from the genuine erudition of Neale, from what Palmer less accurately tells us, and from an inspection of the material preserved in Migne's Patrologia. It is sur- prising how little has been wrought out from this field, and with how little success the learned have tried to account for the name itself. To call it "The Gothic Rite," as many do, is very misleading. It is, in its essential and original parts, the ancient Spanish Liturgy, as Neale has lucidly shewn ; and it is inter- esting more especially for two reasons: (i) it is akin to the ancient Gallican Rite, and (2) it so far partakes of an Ephesine spirit, as to be justly styled a link be- tween the usages of East and West. From the time, when, in God's Providence, I was called to a place on " the Mexican Commission," it has been my ardent hope and desire to see the atten- tion of the reformed Mexican Church, turned to these ancient sources of her own historic faith; and to induce her divines to use them, precisely as our re- formers used the old Anglican Offices, in renewing -©*■ *o e>* the Primitive Worship and its simple but sublime ceremonial. Whatever concessions have been made pro tempore to present exigencies and difficulties, I am justified by the Reports, now published, in saying that the Commission itself has, over and over again, recognized the principle thus expressed, and cherishes the hope that it will yet be accepted by the Mexican " Old Catholics" as their true policy, on every account; but, also, as due to the terms of their "Covenant" with our Catholic and Apostolic Church. We have no right to impose on them our convictions, however ; and we must wait till the Holy Spirit, whose presence and power are so evidently with them, enables them, by study and larger commerce with loving hearts among us, to " work out their own Salvation," in the practical way we suggest. Absorbed in the pressing duties of my Episcopate, I have from the first, relied on my beloved brother Dr. Hale, whom I have known and conferred with, from the days of his pupillage, to work in this old mine for me and with me; and I am pleased with this opportunity of thanking him for his unwearied labours, in bringing forth treasures " new and old," from Spanish Antiquity: they are old and primitive in themselves ; they are largely new to his brethren- He has compiled an admirable office for the Holy *® fl -&■ Eucharist; and a Baptismal Office, also, from such materials; and I trust they may soon see the light, with an introductory Excursus and with the Notes with which he is so capable of enriching the work. The Collects herewith presented are a mere speci- men of their Editor's entire work, but they are not an inconsiderable portion of it, and the> may, by God's blessing, awaken attention to the subject, and thus promote his ultimate desires and purposes, with which I sympathize, ardently; not only because of my respect lor him, but rather because of the import- ance of the subject to Catholic Reconstruction and Reform in Mexico and elsewhere. I have before me the important work of Lorenzana, published in 1770, with the probable design of favour- ing the introduction of the Ola Spanish Rite into Mexico. He had been one of the Canons of the Royal Foundation, in Toledo, which preserved the Ancient Spanish Liturgy (interpolated indeed by Cardinal Ximenes) and was made Archbishop of Mexico. With him, one of his fellow-canons, who had become Bishop of Los Angelos, was a fellow labourer, in the same cause. By the aid of Neale's criticisms, and the general principles of Primitive Worship so admirably expounded by the late Arch- deacon Freeman, it would not be a difficult task for -®* *$- 8 PREFACE. our Mexican brethren, to make this work of Loren- zana a most useful instrument of influence with their unreformed countrymen. It is Dr. Hale's idea, and I sincerely share it with him, that the Commission of our own Church, now engaged in Liturgical Inquiry, might not improbably find some material for their labours in the same direc- tion. Nor do I overlook the practical object he has kept in mind, of enriching the devotional resources of pious members of the Church, for their private communings with God, in the fellowship of His Saints. But, in any case, the labours of Dr. Hale will be most useful to some; and I trust this publication may, by God's blessing, lead to such great results as His blessed Spirit delights to produce, from ventures of faith the most humble and unpretending.

THE ATM OF THIS BOOK. ■"HE learned Canon Bright, in his Ancient Col- lects, of which, whether it be considered as a most useful book of devotion, or as a work of litur- gical scholarship, one could hardly speak too highly, gives a number of prayers translated from what he well describes as "the glowing and pathetic supplica- tions of the Ancient Spanish Church." It has been thought, that a fuller selection of such prayers from the Mozarabic Liturgy, giving the Col- lects for the Sundays and other chief Holy Days of the Christian Year, with some additional prayers, might aid the devotions of persons to whom hal- lowed words, instinct with the same spirit which breathes in the Collects of our Prayer Book, and, like those Collects, a legacy from the earlier days of the Church, are ever acceptable. Care has been taken, in translating, to keep as close as might be to the original, except that, not infrequently, what seemed over-long expressions have been condensed, the prayers of the Ancient Spanish Church being scarcely more marked by fer- B ( *e- 70 APPENDIX. vency, than by exuberance of diction. As an in- stance, it may be mentioned that in the Mozarabic 'Liturgy there are more than one hundred different Proper Prefaces, of which quite a number are longer than the Exhortation in our Communion Office, " Dearly Beloved in the Lord, etc.," and some of them twice its length. The originals of several Collects are given in the following pages, and at another time the original Latin of all may be published. 2. THE MOZARABIC LITURGY* OYthe term "The Mozarabic Liturgy "is desig- -^ nated the liturgy in general use in the Spanish Church from the time of St. Isidore of Seville, who, *$- * Those wishing further information in regard to the Mozarabic Liturgy are referred to Essays on Liturgiology ; By the Rev.

In its essential features, it would seem to have been coeval with the implanting of Christianity in Spain, and, continued in use, in a very few Spanish churches, even to this day, it has providentially remained a living rite. As to the name Mozarabic, Neale says : " The real deriva- tion is simple enough : Arab Arabe signifying an Arab by descent (like an Hebrew of the Hebrews), Arab Most- Arabe an Arab by adoption, and the latter term having been gradually softened and applied to the Liturgy."* 3. COLLECTS FOR THE SEASONS. THE Book of Common Prayer, directing the Collects for the First Sunday in Advent, and for Ash Wednesday, to be repeated each day during the seasons at the head of which those days respec- tively stand, makes of them Collects for the Season, The Mozarabic Liturgy provides Collects for that specific purpose. The Collect for Easter-tide, in the original, is as follows : * Essays on Liturgiology, p. 131. -©* *9- 72 APPENDIX. *"T*E excelsa laus in altissimis decet, Tibi e terris -*- gloriam Ecclesia canity atque hujus catervae concentus ad astra hymnum emittit : Rogamus Te, Omnipotens Deus, ut sicut Tuas solenniter porrigimus laudes, ita precum nostrarum jubeas efficaciter susci- pere voces. Amen. Per misericordiam Tuam, Deus noster, Qui es benedictus, et vivis, et omnia regis, in saecula saecu- lorum. Amen.* This double ending is very common with Mozarabic Collects. In the translation it has been retained only in the case of Collects for the Seasons. 4. COLLECTS FOR THE SUNDAYS AND HOLY DAYS. FOR the most part, the Collects for the Sundays, and for the Festivals of our Lord, have been translated from the Latin originals without other change than needful condensation. It has not always been possible, however, to take them from the service of a corresponding day. For the most of the Sun- days after Trinity there were no special services ap- pointed. When a Saint's Day service was not said on such day, as was generally the case, the service of a preceding Sunday was repeated. * Liturgia Mozarabica, 1. 479. *e- -&* APPENDIX. 73 The Collect for the Third Sunday after the Epiph- any, in the original Latin, is as follows : A DESTO, Deus Pater Omnipotens, precibus nos- ^*- tris, et plenitudinem nobis tribue charitatis et pacis ; ut omnes nos qui de misericordia Tua con- fidimus, in spe semper, et charitate, sine fine viva- mus. Amen* The Collect in our Prayer Book for the Sunday after the Ascension, is taken, as is well known, from the Vesper Antiphon of the Ascension, with whose words the Venerable Bede breathed forth his soul at Yarrow. Canon Brightf and Dean Goulburnf express the regret which others feel, that our Reformers did not continue " its ancient character as an appeal to the Son, the ascended King of Glory.'' The original of the Collect for Ascension Day in this book, a Capitula at Lauds on that Festival, is as follows : "T^vOMINE R.ex Glorias, Qui patefactis et ad- *^* impletis Prophetarum oraculis, tamquam elevatis ajternalibus portis, Paternam repetis sedem. quia dum tua Deitas eo quo nunquam discessit regreditur, *Liturgia Mozarabica, Edit.

And yet it has been possible to find fitting material for such Collects in the Mozarabic Liturgy, to a much larger extent than the framers of our Prayer Book could in the Use of Sarum. In the Prayer Book, the Collect for Holy Innocents' Day is, in the main, Gelasian ; those for the Purification, the Annuncia- tion, St. John Baptist's Day, and St. Michael's are Gregorian ; those for St. Stephen's Day, the Conver- sion of St. Paul, and St. Bartholomew's Day are, in part, from ancient sources; the rest date from 1549, 1552, and 1661. In this book, while the Collects for the Festivals of St. Matthias and St. Barnabas have something from the Mozarabic, all the other Saints' Day Collects have originals to which they correspond, in no inadequate degree, in the Ancient Spanish Liturgy. What follows, the original of the Collect for St. Peter's Day, shows what good mate- *Liturgia Mozarabica, 11. (157. *$- 4- APPENDIX. 75 rial we have offered us, and, at the same time, what changes must needs be made in using it. /^HRISTE, Filius Dei Vivi, Quem Petrus super ^-^ petram solidatus vere confessus est, quia utique non petra a Petro, sed Petrus vocatus est a petra in qua est fundata Ecclesia; Te supplices deprecamur, ut idem qui accepit claves regni coelorum peccatori- bus pandat coelestis viae introitum, ut per quem doc- trinae sublimis exempla suscepimus, per eum aeternae vitae nos suscepisse commoda sentiamus.

It would be easy, should this be called for, to largely increase the number. The original of the " Prayer for those in Affliction " resembles, while differing from it in several particu- lars, the original of a prayer in our Litany.f The Mozarabic form is as follows : r^vEUM,Qui contritorum non despicit gemitum, et ^~^ moerentium non aspernatur affectum, lachry- mosis precibus fratres dilectissimi supplicemus, ut * Liturgia Mozarabica, II. 1105. fThis. a Collect u pro tribulatione cordis" in the Use of Sarum, may be found in Palmer's Origines Liturgicae, Vol. I, p. 299; and in Blunt's Annotated Prayer Book, p. 59. -©» w 76 APPENDIX. hanc singularis victimae hostiam quam pro tribulatis servis suis N., ad relevationem fidenter offerimus, dignetur acceptare propitius, tribuatque ut quicquid contra eos diabolica atque humana molivit adversitas ad nihilum redigat, et consilio pietatis allidat, ut in nullo de adversis laesi, Eidem mereantur illaesi offerre sacrificium * 6. AN ORDER FOR FAMILY PRAYER. A T the suggestion of a Right Reverend friend, ^~* "An Order for Family Prayer" has been ar- ranged, from the Mozarabic Liturgy and Holy Scrip- ture. To adapt it to varying circumstances and needs, provision has been made tor shortening or lengthening the Order, as may be desired. The originals of a Mozarabic Invocation and Gloria, differing from those in use amongst us, are as follows: T N Nomine Domini Xostri Jesu Christi, lumen cum pace.f f~* LORIA et honor Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui ^^Sancto, in saecula saeculorum.
