But the prayer commonly begins "Deus qui corda fidelium." 71❝Illustratione." Inspiracyon. 1538. Information. 1545. 72 This verse and response, omitted in 1545. 73 This is our present collect for Trinity Sunday: and was appointed for that day in the ancient Missals according to the Uses of Sarum, York, Hereford and Bangor. The Latin is: "Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui dedisti famulis tuis, in confessione veræ fidei æternæ Trinitatis gloriam agnoscere, et in potentia majestatis adorare unitatem: quæsumus, ut ejusdem fidei firmitate ab omnibus semper muniamur adversis. Qui vivis et regnas Deus." Mr. Palmer, (Orig. Lit. vol. i. 342.) edits the last clause " semper muniemur adversis. Per Dominum nostrum." The other however is the reading of the earliest printed editions of the Sarum Missal and the Hereford, of the Horæ, the Primers of 1538, 1543, 1545, and others. The York and Bangor Missals have "in qua vivis, et regnas." With which agrees also a later edition of the Salisbury Use, 4to. 1509; and probably others but all have "muniamur." The following is the version of the Cambridge MS. " Almyghti euerlastynge god, that gauest us thi seruauntis in knouleching of trewe feith to knowe the ioie of the endeles trinite, and in the 74 mist of mageste to worchipe thee in oonheede: we bisechen that bi the sadness 75 of the same feith we be kept and defendid euermore fro alle aduersitees. Bi crist. Ant. Nos autem. For soth us bihoueth to haue ioie in the crosse of oure lord iesu crist. Vers. Alle erthe worshipe thee god.76 Resp. And synge it to thee, I shal seie salm to thi name.

Bi crist.78 myght of the maiestie to worschip the oonhede: we bisechen bi the sadnesse of that selue bileue, we be kept and defendid of alle aduersites, bi crist oure lord. Amen." The Prymer of 1538 translates: "Almyghty and euerlastyng god, whiche hast graunted to vs thy seruauntes thoroughe confessyon of the true faythe, for to acknowledge the glorye of the eternall Trynyte. And to honour the one god in thy almyghtye maiestye. We beseche the that thorough our stedfastenes in the same faythe we may alwayes be defendyd from all aduersyte. Whiche lyuest and raynest one god, worlde without ende. so be it. The Cambridge MS. omits all the succeeding prayers which follow in the text, down to the anthem, lætabuntur, before the prayer "Omnium sanctorum, With alle seyntis." 1⁄4 One-head. “Nameli in that place in the firste epistle of Joon, where we reden of the oon hede of the Trynyte."

Luk. c. 6. (Richardson: where several other examples are given.) 76 This and the response, omitted in 1545. 77 "Deus qui sanctam tuam ascendisti." 78 The true reading is "Qui vivis et regnas deus, &c." Ant.79 Michael. Mizhel arkaungel come thou in help with the peple of god. Vers. In the sizt of aungels I shal synge to thee my god. Respon.

Bi crist oure lord. 79 From hence to the Antiphon, Da pacem, omitted in the King's Prymer, and two little chapters, and two short prayers inserted in their stead. 80 We still use this Collect on S. Michael's day. The original is the same in the York, Sarum, Hereford and Bangor Missals. "Deus qui miro ordine angelorum ministeria hominumque dispensas: concede propitius, ut quibus tibi ministrantibus in cœlo semper assistitur: ab his in terra vita nostra muniatur. Per dominum. The later Prymers translate: "O God, whyche by a wonderfull order doyst apoynte the seruyce, both of men, and aungelles, of thy exceedynge mercye graunte vs that by them whiche attende alwaye upon thy seruyce in heuyn, our lyfe may be defended here in erth.
