CLOSING VERSICLES AND THAT WHICH FOLLOWETH

Matins

In illo témpore : Ambulábat Jesus in Galilæam : non enim volébat in Judæam ambuláre, quia quærébant eum Judæi interfícere.  Et réliqua.

At that time : Jesus walked in Galilee : for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.  And so on, and that which followeth.

In isto Evangélii capítulo, fratres, Dóminus noster Jesus Christus secúndum hóminem se plúrimum commendávit fídei nostræ.  Etenim semper hoc egit dictis et factis suis, ut Deus credátur et homo : Deus qui nos fecit, homo qui nos quæsívit : Deus cum Patre semper, homo nobíscum ex témpore.  Non enim quæreret quem fécerat, nisi fíeret ipse quod fécerat.  Verum hoc mementóte, et de córdibus vestris nolíte dimíttere : sic esse Christum hóminem factum, ut non destíterit Deus esse.  Manens Deus accépit hóminem, qui fecit hóminem.

In this Chapter of the Gospel, my brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ hath much commended himself unto our faith, in respect of his humanity.  Forsooth, his words and works were always such as to give us to believe that he is both God and Man : God who made us, and Man who sought us ; as touching his Godhead, always with the Father, and as touching his Manhood, one with us in time.  For he could not have sought after that which he had made, save that he himself was made one with all that he made.  Yea, verily, be ever mindful of this, and never let it escape from your hearts, to wit : That Christ was made Man in such wise that he ceased not to be God.  He who is the Maker of man made himself to become Man, yet he remained that very God who is from everlasting to everlasting.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

On Feastdays having an Office of Nine Lessons during Passiontide, the Te Deum is said after the conclusion of the Ninth Lesson.

R.  Adjútor et suscéptor meus es tu, Dómine : et in verbum tuum sperávi : * Declináte a me, malígni : et scrutábor mandáta Dei mei.
V.  Iníquos ódio hábui : et legem tuam diléxi.
R.  Declináte a me, malígni : et scrutábor mandáta Dei mei.

R.  Thou art my defence and shield, and my trust is in thy word : * Away from me, ye wicked ; I will keep the commandments of my God.
V.  I hate them that imagine evil things, but thy law do I love.
R.  Away from me, ye wicked ; I will keep the commandments of my God.

Quando ergo látuit ut homo, non poténtiam perdidísse putándus est, sed exémplum infirmitáti præbuísse.  Ille enim quando vóluit, deténtus est : quando vóluit, occísus est.  Sed quóniam futúra erant membra ejus, id est, fidéles ejus, qui non habérent illam potestátem, quam habébat ipse Deus noster : quod latébat, quod se tamquam ne occiderétur, occultábat, hoc indicábat factúra esse membra sua, in quibus útique membris suis ipse erat.

Wherefore, albeit his Godhead was hidden by his humanity, we must not think that he had suffered any lessening of power, but rather that he was giving ensample to our weakness.  He was taken, but not until he willed it.  Likewise not until he willed it, was he put to death.  But his faithful people, who are his members, have not that power over their lives which he who is our God had over his.  For this reason he hid himself.  Yea, he concealed himself, as it were, to escape being put to death, so as to shew what should be done in like case by his members in whom he himself doth dwell.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Docébo iníquos vias tuas : et ímpii ad te converténtur : * Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ.
V.  Dómine, labia mea apéries : et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
R.  Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ.

R.  Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, and sinners shall be converted unto thee : * Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation.
V.  Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall shew thy praise.
R.  Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation.

Non enim Christus in cápite, et non in córpore : sed Christus totus in cápite, et in córpore.  Quod ergo membra ejus, ipse : quod autem ipse, non contínuo membra ejus.  Nam si non ipsi essent membra ejus, non díceret Saulo : Quid me perséqueris?  Non enim Saulus ipsum, sed membra ejus, id est, fidéles ejus, in terra persequebátur.  Nóluit tamen dícere sanctos meos, servos meos, postrémo honorabílius, fratres meos : sed me, hoc est membra mea, quibus ego sum caput.

For Christ is not the head of his Church in such sense that he is not also the body thereof.  Rather, the whole Christ is in the head, and the whole Christ is in the body.  What therefore his members are, that same is he himself.  Albeit it doth not follow that his members are the same as he is.  For if his members were not one with himself, how could he say unto Saul : Why persecutest thou me?  For Saul was not persecúting Christ but Christ's members, that is, his faithful ones which were upon earth.  He said not : Why persecutest thou my holy ones?  Nor did he say : My servants : not yet did he give them that more honourable name : My brethren.  But rather, he called them : Me : that is to say, My members whose head I am.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Ne perdas cum ímpiis, Deus, ánimam meam, et cum viris sánguinum vitam meam : * Rédime me, Dómine.
V.  Eripe me, Dómine, ab hómine malo, a viro iníquo líbera me.
R.  Rédime me, Dómine.
R.  Ne perdas cum ímpiis, Deus, ánimam meam, et cum viris sánguinum vitam meam : * Rédime me, Dómine.

R.  Make not my soul to perish with the sinners, O God, nor my life with the bloodthirsty : * Redeem me, O Lord.
V.  Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man, and preserve me from the wicked man.
R.  Redeem me, O Lord.
R.  Make not my soul to perish with the sinners, O God, nor my life with the bloodthirsty : * Redeem me, O Lord.
