B. at throne, takes off the violet vestments and puts on the white stole, dalmatics, -gloves, chasuble, mitre. If Major Orders are to be conferred during the Mass, B., at the proper time, (from the throne), gives the benedictions: Ut hos electos, etc.

B. as usual goes to Altar, cays the Psalm Judica, with the Gloria Patri, kisses the Altar and the Gospel, incenses the Altar, is incensed, goes back to throne, says the Kyrie, sings the Gloria, the Pax vobis, and the Oration.

While the Subdeacon sings the Epistle, B. reads it. When Subdeacon has finished the Epistle, he goes to throne, kisses B.'s hand and then says, standing: Reverendissime Pater, annuntio vobis gaudium magnum, quod est Alleluja.

B. sine m. rises and sings the three Alleluja; then sits cum m. and reads the Confitemini, Munda, Gospel, etc., as in the Missal.

At the singing of the Gospel the incense is used, but not the candles. There is no Credo, no Offertorium, no Agnus Dei, nor is the Pax given.

After B. has consumed the Precious Blood, he purifies the chalice, washes his hands, then goes to throne, sits cum m., and reads the Alleluja and the Psalm; then sine m. rises, intones the Vespere autem, sits cum m., puts in and blesses incense, goes to Altar, kisses it, then incenses it; goes back to throne, is incensed, stands cum b.,

but sine m., during rest of Magnificat. When the Ant. is being repeated, B. sits cum m.

When Ant. is finished, B. goes to Altar, sings Dominus vobiscum, etc., and Mass is finished as usual.
