The reader will find in the Appendix two other early English Litanies, from the Douce MSS. in the Bodleian Library. 72 These three omitted in the King's Prymer. 73 Sancta Trinitas, unus Deus. In the later versions, " Holy Trynyte, one God." 74 For the variations in the King's Prymer, I must refer the reader to Dr. Burton's reprint, Oxford. 1834. Upon one point only, I would make a remark : viz: on the petition to be delivered "from the tyranny of the Bishop of Rome, and all his detestable enormities." This clause, after having retained its place through K. Edward's reign in his Common Prayer Books, and Prymer, was I need scarcely remind the reader, struck out in the time of Queen Mary, and it is commonly supposed, was never again inserted. But I possess a Litany, printed separately upon a single sheet, in small 8vo., of the earliest period of Queen Elizabeth's reign, in which this petition occurs; word for word, as in the Prymer of 1545, and the Prayer-books of K. Edward. It is not however to be found in any Prayer Book, even the earliest, by Iugge & Cawood, Fol. of 1559. Seynt Iame, preie for us. All hooli apostlis and euangelistis, preie ye.
