Master of the First Prayerbook of Maximilian, The Mass of St. Gregory, Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, about 1500. Cleveland Museum of Art.
It is truly meet and just, right and salutary, that we always, and in all places, should give thanks to thee, O holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God; who with thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord; not in the singularity of one person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe of thy glory; as thou hast revealed it, that we believe of thy Son, that of the Holy Ghost, without any difference. That in the confession of the true and eternal Deity, propriety in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the angels praise, and the archangels, the cherubim also and the seraphim; who cease not to cry out daily, singing with one voice:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts: Heaven and earth ore full of thy glory: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
