This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...all requests addressed to the saints. In, the petitions which follow, Cranmer massed together various short clauses into one. The result is that the English Litany has lost the short processional steps which marked the Latin Litany, and has assumed a certain fulness and eloquence which are fitted to aid the worship of a motionless congregation.

This is the exquisite Litany which was said by the priest as a ' Commendation of a soul in the moment of death.' Immediately before the beginning of this Litany, which was repeated over our forefathers in their last agony, there was thrice said: Spare, O Lord, spare Thy servant whom Thou hast vouchsafed to redeem with Thy precious Blood: be not angry with him for ever.
