If, however, from any cause, the species of bread or wine should be spent before all who present themselves have been communicated, the Priest shall consecrate more, not only of the species which has failed, but of both species, as required by the rubric, and in accordance with the divine institution.

(2) If the species of bread fail, and not the species of wine, the Priest places the chalice with the sacred Blood upon the corporal on the part towards the Gospel side. He places upon the paten the required number of small hosts, making the oblation mentally.25 He then takes another chalice, and puts into it a small quantity of wine mingled with water, and sets it upon the corporal, offering it also mentally. After which he proceeds to consecrate both in a low voice, "beginning at-All glory be to thee, Almighty God,-and ending ⚫ with these words-partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood." He then communicates himself with both the species he has just consecrated, and when he communicates himself with the chalice, he receives all the sacred Blood which is in it; after which he covers it with a pall and leaves it on the corporal. He then proceeds to communicate the rest of the people with the hosts just consecrated, and with the species of wine previously consecrated.

But if there is but one chalice, the Priest before making the oblation of the bread, receives all the sacred Blood, draining the chalice, but making no ablution, and observing not to wipe it with the purificator." Then having made the oblation of the bread as above, he pours into the chalice a sufficient quantity of wine Gavantus, pars. iii. tit. iii. 4, 5.

So, upon Christmas when three Masses are said in immediate succession, no ablution of the chalice is made until after the third Mass.

to communicate the rest of the people, mingling it with a little water, after which he offers it mentally, and proceeds with the consecration. Then having communicated himself, he communicates the rest of the people with both the species just consecrated.

(3) If the species of wine fail, and not the species of bread, he takes the consecrated hosts from the paten (if it, and not a ciborium is used to hold them), and places them upon the corporal at his left. Then having drained the chalice, but without making any ablution of it, he takes one small bread and offers it upon the paten, which he places upon the corporal. He then pours into the chalice a sufficient quantity of wine mingled with a little water, and sets it upon the corporal. He consecrates both species as directed above, after which he communicates himself with the one host thus consecrated, and with the species of wine. Then (if a ciborium be not used) he places upon the paten the hosts consecrated before, and proceeds to communicate the people.

CHAPTER VII.

THE THANKSGIVING AND THE CONCLUSION OF THE MASS.

1. The time occupied by the Priest in saying privately, "Behold the Lamb of God," etc., and "Lord I am not worthy," etc., as he stands turned towards the people (which corresponds, as has been said, to the rite of the Sancta Sanctis), will give sufficient opportunity for those present who desire to be communicated to

draw near. If then, having said these words, no one approaches to receive the Holy Communion, the Priest turns again to the altar by his right, replaces the paten upon the corporal, uncovers the chalice, and genuflects. Then he places the paten with the hosts on the chalice, covers both with the "fair linen cloth," i. e., pall, over which he spreads the silk veil, and again genuflects. Then, standing erect, he begins the Lord's Prayer, as directed below.

2. ¶ When all have communicated, the Minister shall return to the Lord's Table, and reverently place upon it what remaineth of the consecrated Elements, covering the same with a fair linen cloth.1 This rubric is observed in the following way: The Priest first cleanses the lips of the chalice with his own lips, and then places it upon the corporal in front of the covered ciborium. He then places upon the chalice the paten with whatever hosts may be upon it, "covering the same with a fair linen cloth," i. e., the pall. He then spreads over the pall the silk veil, arranging it as at the beginning of the service. Then placing both hands upon the corporal he genuflects. And the server having genuflected in the midst immediately after the Communion of the people, kneels on the lowest step at the Epistle side. The Priest, standing erect, extends his hands before the breast, the thumbs and forefingers being still joined together.

3. Then shall the Minister say the Lord's Prayer, the people repeating after him every petition.

UR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily

Name.

bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.2

¶ After shall be said as followeth, the Priest bowing his head to the Sacrament as he says: "Thy Son our Saviour, Jesus Christ," and bowing his head and joining his hands at the end as he says, "through Jesus Christ our Lord."

A

LMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank

thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and passion of thy dear Son. And we most humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

4. Then shall be said or sung, all standing,3 Gloria in excelsis; or some proper Hymn from the Selection. If the Gloria in excelsis is said, the Priest, extending his hands and raising them as high as the shoulders, says: "Glory be to God on high;" as he says "God,"

In the English Book here follows a prayer which in the American Book forms the latter part of the Canon.

he joins his hands before the breast and bows his head to the Sacrament. Holding his head erect, and keeping his hands joined and his eyes fixed upon the Sacrament, he continues to the end. As he says, "we worship thee," "we give thanks to thee," "Jesus Christ," "receive our prayer," and "O, Christ," he bows his head profoundly to the Sacrament. When he says, "with the Holy Ghost," he places the left hand a little below the breast and with the right hand makes the sign of the cross from the forehead to the breast, ending at the words "in the glory of God the Father;" and as he says "Amen," he joins his hands before the breast.

Gloria in excelsis.

will towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.

O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us.

For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
