ORATIO.
Deus qui victrices Moysi manus in oratione firmasti, qui quamvis aetate* 1.1latesceret infatigabili sanctitate pugnabat, ut dum Amalech iniquus vincitur, dum prophanus Nationum po∣pulus* 1.2subjugatur, exterminatis alienigenis haereditatituae pos∣fessio copiosa serviret, opus manuum nostrarum pia mater oratio∣•…•…is exauditione confirma. Habemus & Nos apud te, sancte Pater, Dominum salvatorem, qui pro nobis manus suas tetendit in cruce, per quem etiam precamur altissime, ut ejus potentia suf∣fragante, universorum hostium frangatur impiet as, populusque tuus cessante formidine te solum timere (e 1.3) consistat. Per eun∣dem, &c. (f 1.4)
Hiis expletis Archiepiscopus cum Paribus Coronam su∣stentantibus Regem talitèr infignitum & deductum in solium fibi praeparatum sericis stratum, & ornatum, ubi collocavit eum in sede eminenti, unde ab omnibus pos∣sit videri.

Et post eum Episcopi & Laici Pares qui ejus Coronam sustentant, hoc idem dicentes. (a 1.5)
His expletis manebit Rex sedens in suo solio, donec Regina suerit consecrata, quâ consecratâ & ad suam se∣dem* 1.6 reducta, missa à Cantore primo & Succentore cho∣rum servantibus inchoetur, & suo ordine decantetur.

Quaesumus Omnipotens Deus, ut famulus tuus Rex noster N. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 tua miseratione Regni suscepit gubernacula, virtutum 〈◊〉〈◊〉•…•…mnium percipiat incrementa, quibus decentèr ornatus, & vitiorum monstra devitare, & hostes superare, & ad te qui via, veritas & vita •…•…sgratiosus valeat pervenire.

Quando legitur Evangelium, Rex, & Regina debent deponere Coronas suas. Notandum, quod lecto Evange∣lio, major inter Archiepiscopos & Episcopos accipit librum Evangelii, & defert Domino Regi ad deosculandum, & postea Reginae, & postea Domino Archiepiscopo Missam ce∣lebranti. Post offertorium Pares deducunt Regem ad al∣tare, Coronam ejus sustinentes. Rex autem debet offerre panem unum. Vinum in urceo argenteo. Tresdecem Bisantos aureos, & Regina similiter.

celebrante & deferre Regi cum oris osculo, & Reginae (a 1.8) in libro. Et post eum omnes Archiepiscopi, & Episco∣pi, unus post alium, dant osculum pacis Regi in suo solio residenti. Missa finita deponit Archiepiscopus Coronam de capite Regis, & expoliato Rege de insignioribus vesti∣mentis, & aliis indutis, iterùm imponit capiti suo Archi∣episcopus aliam Coronam minorem, & sic vadit ad palatium nudo Gladio praecedente. Et sciendum, quod ejus Cami∣sia propter Sanctam unctionem debet comburi.
De Ampullae reductione.
Sciendum, quod Rex debet recipere de Baronibus suis Nobilioribus & fortioribus in die Coronationis suae in aurora diei (b 1.9) mittere apud sanctum Remigium pro sancta Ampulla, & illi debent jurare Abbati & Ecclesiae, quod dictam sanctam Ampullam bona fide ducent & re∣ducent ad sanctam Ecclesiam beati Remigii. Abbas autem hoc facto, debet sanctam Ampullam afferre sicut superi∣us est notatum. Finita consecratione & missa, debent iterùm iidem Barones reducere sanctam Ampullam us∣que ad sanctum Remigium honorificè & securè, & eam restituere loco suo. (c 1.10)
Ordo ad Reginam benedicendam.
Quae debet consecrari statim post factam consecrati∣onem* 1.11 Regis, debet ei parari solium in modum solii Re∣gis. Debet tamen aliquantulum minus esse. Debet au∣tem Regina adduci à duobus Episcopis in Ecclesiam, & Rex in suo solio sedere, in omnibus ornamentis suis regi∣is si•…•…ut in solio residebat post Inunctionem, & Corona∣tionem suam superiùs annotatam. Regina autem addu∣cta in Ecclesiam debet prosterni ante altare, & prostrata debet orare, quâ elevatâ ab oratione ab Episcopis, debet iterùm caput inclinare, & Archiepiscopus hanc Orationem dicere.
