ANGELMAS

I. THE LITURGY OF THE CALL

Congregational response is set in bold type .

Opening

In the name of the Father, + and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known,

and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our

hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy spirit, that we may perfectly

love thee and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our

Lord. Amen.

The Prayer of Enoch

Can the vessel of fear, fragility, or that which is of a determined pro-

portion, lift up himself, heave up his hands, or gather the Sun into

his bosom? Lord it cannot be:

Lord my imperfection is great: Lord I am less than sand: Lord, thy

good Angels and Creatures excel me by far, for our proportion is

not alike: our sense agreeth not: Notwithstanding I am comforted;

For we all have one God, all one beginning from thee, and all

respect thee as Creator: Therefore I will call upon thy name, and in

thee, I will become mighty. Thou shalt light me, and I will become

a Seer; I will see thy Creatures, and will magnify thee amongst

them. Those that come into thee have the same gate, and through

the same gate, descend those that thou sendest. Behold, I will offer

my house, my labor, my heart and soul, If it will please thy Angels

to dwell with me, and I with them; to rejoice with me, that I may

rejoice with them; to minister unto me, that I may magnify thy

name.

Then, lo, these Tables I offer unto thee, and unto thy holy Angels,

desiring them through thy holy names: As thou art their light and

comfort, so they will be my light and comfort. Lord they prescribe

not laws unto thee, thus it is not meet that I prescribe laws unto

them: What it pleases them to offer unto me, I will receive. Behold, O

Lord, if I shall call them in thy name, be it unto me in mercy, as unto

the servant of the Highest. Let them also manifest unto me, Howso-

ever I shall call them, and at whatever time.

O Lord, Is there any who is mortal that can measure the heavens?

How, therefore, can the heavens enter into man's imagination? Thy

Creatures are the Glory of thy countenance and thereby thou glori-

fiest all things, but this Glory excelleth and is far above my under-

standing. It is great wisdom, to speak with Kings according to

one's understanding: But to command Kings is not wisdom, unless

it come from thee. Behold Lord, How shall I ascend into the heav-

ens? The air will not carry me, but resisteth my folly, I fall down,

for I am of the earth. Therefore, O thou very Light and true Com-

fort, that canst command the heavens; Behold I offer these Tables

unto thee, Command them as it pleaseth thee: and O you Minis-

ters, and true lights of understanding, who govern this earthly

frame, and the elements wherein we live, Do for me as for the ser-

vant of the Lord. For unto me it has pleased the Lord to talk of you.

Behold, Lord, thou hast appointed me 50 times; Thrice 50 times will

I lift my hands unto thee. Be it unto me as it pleaseth thee, and thy

holy Ministers. I require nothing but thee, and through thee, and for

thy honor and glory: But I hope I shall be satisfied, and shall not die,

(As thou hast promised) until thou gather the clouds together, and

judge all things. And in that moment I shall be changed and dwell

with thee forever.

Asperges

May the Lord purify me that I may worthily perform his service.

In the strength of the Lord do I repel all evil from this his holy altar

and sanctuary, and from this house, wherein we worship him; and I

pray to our heavenly Father that he will send his holy angels to build

for us a spiritual temple through which his strength and blessing

may be poured forth upon his people; through Christ our Lord

Amen.

The Oration to God

O Almighty, Aeternal, the True and Living God: O King of Glory: O

Lord of Hosts: O Thou, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and of all

things visible and invisible: now (even now, at length) among others

thy manifold mercies used and to be used, toward us, thy simple ser-

vants, we most humbly beseech thee, in this our present petition to

have mercy upon us: to have pity upon us, to have compassion upon

us: who, faithfully and sincerely, of long time, have sought among

men, in Earth: and also by prayer, (full oft, and pitifully,) have made

suit unto thy Divine Majesty for the obtaining of some convenient

portion of True Knowledge and understanding of thy laws and ordi-

nances, established in the natures and properties of thy creatures: by

which knowledge, thy Divine Wisdom, Power and Goodness, (on

thy creatures bestowed, and to them imparted) being to us made

manifest, might abundantly instruct, furnish and allure us, (for the

same), incessantly to pronounce thy praises, to render unto thee

most hearty thanks, to advance thy true honor, and to win unto thy

name some of thy due Majestical Glory, among all people, and for

ever. And whereas it has pleased thee (O God) of thy infinite Good-

ness, by thy faithful and holy Spiritual Messengers, to deliver unto us

long since an orderly form and manner of Exercise Heptarchical:

how, to thy Honor and Glory, and the comfort of our own poor souls,

and of others thy faithful servants, we may at all times, use very

many of thy good Angels, their counsels and helps: according to the

properties of such their functions and offices, as to them, by thy

Divine Power, Wisdom and Goodness is assigned, and limited:
