The Antiphona.
O deare and sweet dispute
'Twixt Death's and Loue's farr different fruit!
Different as farr
As antidotes and poysons are.
By that first fatall tree140
Both life and liberty
Were sold and slain;
By this they both look vp, and liue again.
The Versicle.
Lo, we adore Thee,
Dread Lamb! and bow thus low before Thee.145
The Responsor.
'Cause by the couenant of Thy crosse,
Thou hast sau'd the World from certain losse.
The Prayer.
O Lord Iesv-Christ, Son of the liuing God!
interpose, I pray Thee, Thine Own pretious death,
Thy crosse and passion, betwixt my soul and Thy150
iudgment, now and in the hour of my death. And
vouchsafe to graunt vnto me Thy grace and mercy;
vnto all quick and dead, remission and rest; to
Thy Church, peace and concord; to vs sinners,
life and glory euerlasting. Who liuest and reignest155
with the Father, in the vnity of the Holy Ghost,
one God, world without end. Amen.
