Hic accipiat patenam cum corpore Chriſti, dicendo,
Panem caeleſtem accipiam, & nomen Domini inuocabo.
Deinde ter reuerenter dicat, percutiens pectus,
Domine, non ſum dignus vt intres ſub tectum meum: ſed tantùm dic verbo, & ſanabitur anima mea.
Hic ſumat corpus reuerenter, ſignans ſe illo, dicens,
Corpus Domini noſtri Ieſu Chriſti cuſtodiat animam meam in vitam aeternam, Amē. In nomine Patris † & Filij & Spiritus ſancti.
Poſteà diſcooperiat calicem, & flexis genibus ſalutet, & dicat,
Quid retribuam Domino pro omnibus quae retribuit mihi? Calicem ſalutaris accipiam, & nomen Domini inuocabo. Laudans inuocabo Dominum, & ab inimicis meis ſaluus ero.
Hic ſumat ſanguinem, ſignans ſe cum illo, dicēs,
Corpus & ſanguis Domini nostri Ieſu Chriſti, cuſtodiat animam meam in vitam aeternam. Amen.
Deinde dicat, capiendo vinum cum aqua.
Quod ore ſumpſimus, Domine, pura mente capiamus: & de munere temporali, fiat nobis remedium ſempiternum, in vitam aeternam. Amen.
Et verbum caro factum eſt, & habitauit in nobis. Agimus tibi gratias, Rex omnipotens Deus, pro vniuerſis beneficijs tuis, qui viuis & regnas Deus, Per omnia ſecula ſeculorum.
Poſteà purificando manus, & lingendo digitos, quibus tenuit corpus Domini, dicat,
Corpus tuum Domine, quod ſumpſi, & ſanguis quem potaui, adhaereat viſceribus meis: & praeſta vt in me non remaneat ſcelerum macula, quem pura & ſancta refecerunt ſacramenta, Qui viuis & regnas, &c.
Nunc dimittis ſeruum tuum Domine, ſecundùm verbum tuum in pace.
&c. vſque ad finē Cantici, cum
Gloria Patri. Sicut eerat

Kyrie eleiſon, Pater noster. &c.
