New-years-day.

1. Antiph. To day our B. Saviour, who was Lord of the Law, and by his perfect purity ab∣solutely exempt, undertook for us the smart of Circumcision, and dishonour of being reckon'd among siners: Alleluja.

2. Antiph. To day was given Him the Name above every name; that at the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heav'n, of things on earth, and things under the earth: Alleluja, Alleluja, Alleluja.

3. Antiph. O B. JESU, make good to us thy precious Name, and save us from our sins:

that now we may begin a new year of vertue▪ and cancel by repentance all the failings of the old: Alleluja.

Prayer.

O God, who for our example, commandedst thy beloved Son to submit his pure and innocent flesh to the rigour of the Law, and, for encouragement of our hope, madest choice of that sweet and amiable Name JESUS! Teach us, we beseech Thee, with readines and humility to obey thy sacred Laws, how cross soever to our unmortify'd passions; and in all our necessitys with joy and confidence call on that holy Name, in which whate're we ask we are promis'd shal be granted: through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, &c.
