Examples
-
All of the rites which are normally done when a prayer is said at Mass are omitted: the prayer is not preceded by either of the two formulae that normally precede (“Dominus vobiscum - Oremus” or “Oremus - Flectamus genua - Levate”), the priest does not open his hands, the prayer is not said standing at the altar, but in front of it.
-
The priest sings three new prayers, each one preceded by only “Oremus”, (without “Dominus vobiscum”, or “Flectamus genua - Levate.”), ending with the minor conclusion (“per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum”), keeping his hands closed.
-
After each admonition, there follow “Oremus”, “Flectamus genua” sung by the deacon, and “Levate” by the subdeacon, (as before), and then a collect.
-
A chanter sings the prophecy of Hosea; the Tract follows; the Penitentiary reads the prayer; the Deacon sings flectamus genua, the subdeacon Levate and reads a lesson form the book of Exodus.

In media India transitur per multas insulas vsque ad mare Oceanum, in insulam Ormuz, vbi Mercatores Venetiæ sæpè tendunt, sed viri, qui assueti non sunt tantum sustinere calorem, ne exeant perpendicula de corporibus propè ad genua, ibi se contra hoc debitè inuoluunt, et ligant, nec audent ibi transire nauibus ferrum continentibus, ne teneantur de rupibus adamantum.
