God, who, in creating human nature, didft wonderfully dignify it, and didft reform it again by a still greater wonder: grant that, by the mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of his divine nature, who vouchfafed to become partaker of our human nature, namely Jefus Chrift thy Son our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghoft liveth and reigneth one God world without end.

Ccept us, O Lord, who come in the spirit of humility, and with a contrite and humble heart; and grant that the facrifice we offer this day in thy fight, may be pleafing to thee, O Lord God.

1 Expl. The Sacrifice of the Mafs is necessarily pleafing to God of itfelf, fince the victim there offered, is be, of whom the Father faid: This is my beloved Son. But the oblation, which finful man makes of this victim; the vows and prayers which accompany the oblation; and the communion, by which be partakes of what bath been offer. ed, may be performed in a manner difpleafing to God. And as the oblation, communion, and prayers make part of the facrifice, it is no wonder we beg God's grace to go through with it, fo as it may be pleafing to him.
