 The Church Wardens. 
 During the procession the Litanies of the Saints are 
 sung J and are concluded by the Agnus Dei, imme- 
 diately on the arrival of the Archbisop at the foot of 
 the altar. 
 
 Having arrived in the Church, -the Fathers of the 
 Council make a genuflexion and proceed to the faldis- 
 torium prepared for them; and behind each prelate, his 
 chaplain and subordinate officers are placed. The 
 other members of the Council occupy the seats which 
 have been assigned to them. 
 
 The Metropolitan having prayed a few moments at 
 the foot of the Altar, goes to his throne, takes off the 
 cope, puts on the tunicelloBj the chasuble and pallium, 
 and begins mass. 
 
 At the Offertorium all the Bishops are incensed 
 with three strokes; the* delegates of the Bishops, 
 the Members and Deputies of Chapters with two j the 
 others as usual.

 Bishops. The Archiepiscopal cross is fixed to the 
 throne. 
 
 On his arrival at the throne, the President of the 
 Council and all the Fathers take off their mitres, kneel 
 with all the assembly, and the anthem Exaudi nos is 
 intoned by the President. 
 
 ^Exaudinos, Domine, quoniam benigna est 
 misericordia tua : et secundum multitudinem 
 miserationum tuarum respice nos, Domine. 
 
 Then the chanters intone the 68 Psalm j while it is 
 sung, the Fathers are seated wearing their mitres.

 Exaudi me, Domine, quoniam benigna est

 At the tjonchsion of the Psalm, the choir repeats the 
 anthem Eautudinos; after which all the Bishops, tdfcing 
 offrtheir mitre, rise, and the President turned towards 
 the altar sirigs the following invocation : 
 
 Adsdmus, Domine sancte Spiritus, aasumus, 
 peccati quidem immanitate detenti, sed in 
 nomine tuo specialiter aggregati : veniad nos, 
 adesto nobis, dignare illabi cordibus nostris :

 nos tibi efficaeiter solius tuee gratiae dono, ut 
 simusin te unum, et in nullo deviemus k 
 V€ro ; quatenus in nomine tuo coUecti, sicin 
 cunctis teneamus cum moderamine pietatis

 sequamur praemia sempiterna. 
 The choir answer : ^»icn.

 Tho President continues : 
 
 (Jmnipotens sempiteme Deus, qui mise-

 After this orison, the whole assembly having knelt 
 down, the Bishops wearing their mitres, the Presi- 
 dent leaning on his faldistorium, the Litanies of the 
 Saints are recited or sung.

 Here the President rises, and bearing the crozier 
 in his left hand, he turns towards the assembly and 
 blesses them in the following words : 
 
 Ut banc presentem Synodum, visitare, dispo- 
 nere et f benedicere digneris. r. te rogamus,

 After which, he kneels down again, and the Litanies 
 are continued.

 At the conclusion of the Litanies, all rise, the Fathers 
 lay aside their mitres, and the President turned 
 towards the altar says : , 
 
 orejuvs. 
 
 The Deacon sings : 
 Flectamus genua. — Levate. 
 The President : 
 
 JJa, quaesumus, Ecclesiee tuae, misericors 
 Deus, ut Spiritu sancto congregata, secura 
 tibi devotione servire mereatur. Per Domi- 
 num... in unitate ejusdem. r. Amen. 
 
 After this prayer, the President having taken his 
 seat, and all the Fathers likewise, he puts incense into 
 the censor and blesses it. He afterward gives the 
 benediction to the Deacon, who, preceded by thethuri- 
 ferarius, the Acolothysts, the Master of ceremonies and 
 Sub-Deacon, goes to sing the following Gospel. 
 
 Sequentia flancti Evangelii secundum 
 
 LUCAM, c. 9. 
 
 XN illo tempore : Convocatis Jesus duodecira 
 Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem 
 super omnia daemonia, et ut languores cura- 
 rent. Etmisitillos praedicare regnum Dei, 
 et sanare infirmos. Et ait ad illos : Nihil tu- 
 leritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, 
 neque panem, neque pecuniam : neque duas 
 tunicas habeatis. Et in quamcumque domum 
 
 
19 
 
 intraveritis, ibijmanete, et inde ne exeatis. Et 
 quioumque non receperint vos, exeuntes de 
 civit^te ilia, etiam pulverem pedum vestro- 
 rum excutite in testimonium supra illos. 
 Egressi autem circuibant per castella, evange- 
 lizantes et curantes ubique. 
 
 Afler the gospel has been sung, the Sub-Deacon 
 bears the book open to be kissed by the President and 
 the Deacon incenses him afterward. 
 
 In the mean time, the hymn Vent creator is an- 
 nounced to the President. 
 
 The Fathers having taken off* their mitres, and the 
 assembly kneeling down, the President intones the 
 hymn ; after the first strophe, all rise and remain stan- 
 ding and turned towards the altar until the end. 
 
 Veni, Creator Spiritus, 
 Mentes tuorum visita, 
 Imple supema gratia, 
 Quae tu creasti pectora. 
 
 Qui Paracletus diceris, 
 Donum Dei altissimi, 
 Fons vivus, ignis, caritas, 
 Et spiritalis unctio. 
 
 Tu septifofmis munere, 
 Dextrae Dei tu digitus, 
 Tu rite promissum Patris, 
 Sermone ditans guttura. 
 
 Accende lumen sensibus, 
 Infunde amorem cordibus,

 Tu utriusque Spiritum 
 Credamus omni tempore* 
 
 Gloria Patri Domino, 
 Natoque, qui a mortuis, 
 Surrexit, ac Paracleto, 
 In ssBculorum saecula. Amen. 
 
 The hymn conohided, the Fathers resume their 
 mitres, and their seats, and the President pronounces 
 the following allocution. 
 
 Venerabiles Consacerdotes, et Patres ca- 
 rissimi ; praemissis Deo precibus, oportet ut 
 ea, qu8B de divinis officiis, vel sacris ordinibus 
 aut etiam de nostris moribus et necessitatibus

 suscipiat, summaque. reverentia, quantum 
 valet, Domino adjuvante, percipiat, vel quae 
 emendatione digna sunt, omni devotione

 iterum in perqmrenda veritate vigor nosrtri 
 ordinis, vel soUicitudo tepepcat. 
 
 After this allocution, the sermon takes place, if the 
 President has appointed any person to adress the 
 
 Council. 
 
 The assembly having resumed their seats, the pro- 
 motors of the Council appear and present a petition 
 worded nearly in the following manner, with a 
 preamble varied according to circumstances. 
 
 Illustrissime ac Reverendissime Domine, 
 reyer«ndissimi Patres ; cum Provindae Que- 
 becensis Cottoilii per decr«tum diei... mensis

 rari incipere, jamque iacoeptum esse. Cujus 
 prospemm exoptamus sucoessum, et a Deo 
 supplices piis orationibus deprecamur. 
 
 Then one of the Secretaries of the Council, accom- 
 panied by one of the Masters of Ceremonies, salutes 
 
I 
 
 t 
 
 22 
 
 the President and Fathers, draws near to the altar 
 and receives from the President's hand, the decree 
 which is to be published: he salutes again, goes up to 
 the pulpit, and in an intelligible tone of voice,' reads the 
 decree de aperiendd Synodo, 
 
 This decree having been published, the Secretarv 
 
 accompanied by the Master of Ceremonies, draws 
 
 near to the President, and having saluted him, he says : 
 
 lUustrissime ac Reverendissime Domine, 
 
 placetne decretum ? 
 
 The President having answered : Placet, the Se- 
 cretary salutes him, and preceding to the Fathers, he 
 salutes them on the side of the choir where the senior 
 liishop is seated, and says to them : 
 
 Reverendissimi Patres, placetne vobis de- 
 cretum ? 
 
 Each successively and separately answers: Placet. 
 
 Ihe Secretary salutes them again, and havinc 
 repeated the salutation to the Fathers on the opposite 
 side, he goes forward to the President, salutes him and 
 says to him : 
 
 lUustrissime ac Reverendissime Domine 
 decretum placuit Patribus. 
 
 After this he retires j 
 
 The President then pronounces the following words • 
 
 Decretum placuit Patribus : itaque decer- 
 nimus Concilii provincialis Quebecensis ini- 
 tium fieri, et jam factum esse. 
 
 The Te Deum is announced to the President.

 As soon as the singing of the Canticle is ended, the 
 Bishops take their seats, and put on their mitres. 
 
25 
 
 The Promoters then move for the publication of the 
 following decrees, nearly in these words : 
 
 lUustrissime et Reverendissime Domine, re- 
 verendissimi Patres, illud in more positum 
 est, ab initio Concilii provincialis, decreta de 
 modo Vivendi in Concilio, de nominatim vo- 
 candis omnibus et singulis reverendissimis 
 Patribus et Dominis Episcopis qui intersunt 
 vel interesse debent Concilio provincial, de 
 ejusdem Concilii adjutoribus, et de non dis- 
 cedendo, legi atque edici ; ideo ab Ulustris- 
 sima et reverendissima Amplitudine vestra 
 petimus, ut ista de suggestu legantur, edi- 
 cantur et promulgentur. 
 
 The Secretary, in the manner previously men- 
 tioned for the promulgation of the Decree De aperienda 
 SynodOf proceeds to publish, from the pulpit, the Decree 
 Be modo vivendi in Concilio, after which he adds : 
 
 Quoniam autem ad hujus Concilii progres-

 runtur, constituimus :

 cessiis causa a Concilii Patribus cognita, 4 
 nobis approbata, aclegitimo deinde Procura- 
 tore suffecto. 
 
 The votes having been taken in the manner above 
 described, the President says : 
 
 Decreta placuerunt Patribus : ideo agendse 
 sunt Deo gratis. 
 
 The Fathers answer : Deo gatias. 
 
 Then the Secietary says from the pulpit : 
 
 Mox vocabuntur reverendissimi Patres Do- 
 mini Episcopi qui huic Quebecensi Synodo 
 provinciali intersunt, et interesse debent: qui 
 ordine nominatim vocati singuli respondebunt : 
 Adsum, 
 
 And directly, he calls them by name, according to 
 the order of seniority, in this manner : 
 
 Reverendissimus Dominus N , Epis- 
 
 copus N 
 
 The Procurators of the absent Bishops answer for 
 those whom they represent Jldestper procuratorem. 
 
 The Promoters next move for the Profession of 
 faith. 
 
 lUustrissime et Reverendissime Domine, 
 sacrosancto Concilii Tridentini decreto cons- 
 titutum et sancitum est, reverendissimos Epis- 
 copos in prima provinciali Synodo in qua ipsi 
 
27 
 
 interfuerint, omnia et singula a Tridentinis 
 Patribus definita et statuta palam recipiant, 
 veram obedientiam summo Pontifici Romano 
 spondeant, simulque hsereses omnes pubKce 
 detestentur et anathematizent. Ideo nos,

 tores, ab illustrissima et reverendissima Am- 
 pUtudine tua petimus, in hac Synodo provin- 
 ciali, omnia ab iis qui tenentur, juxta Triden- 
 tinam sanctionem, prsestari. 
 
 The Secretary, in the usual manner receives and 
 reads, from the pulpit, the Decree De Professionefidei. 
 
 The Fathers having approved of this Decree, the Se- 
 cretary reads aloud the form of Profession of faith of 
 Pius IV,

 teer ; simulque cpntraria omnia, atque ha- 
 reses quascumque ab Ecclesia damnatas, re- 
 jectas et anathematizataa, ego pariter damno, 
 rejicio, et anathematizo. 
 
 The President having hid aside his mitre, kneels 
 down, lays his right hand on the book of the Gospels, 
 and says : 
 
 Ego N. Archiepiscopus Quebecencis, banc 
 veram Catholicam fidem, extra quarn nemo 
 salvus esse potest, quam in preesenti sponte 
 profiteor et veraciter teneo, eamdem inte- 
 gram et inviolatam, usque ad extremum vita 
 spiritum constantissime, Deo adjurante, re- 
 tinere et confiteri ; atque d meis subditis, 
 seuillis quorum cura ad me in munere meo 
 spectabit, teneri, doceri, et prajdicari, quan- 
 tum in me erit, curaturum, ego idem N. spon- 
 deo, voveo, ac juro. Sic me Deus adjuvet et 
 haec sancta Dei Evangelia. 
 
 The President being seated and wearing his mitre, 
 bears in his hands, the book of the Gospels. The 
 Fathers keeling, and without their mitres, come in 
 succession, to pronounce the same words and lay their 
 hands on the book of the Gospels. The Procurators 
 of the Bishops, the Metropolitain Chapter, the De- 
 puties of the Chapters, the Theologians, Canonists and 
 officers, twaby two, go through the same ceremony. 
 
32 
 
 Afterward the Secretary, with the above mentioned 
 ceremonies, receives and publishes the Decree con- 
 cerning the holding of the second Session. 
 
 lUustrissime ac Eeverendissime Doiuine, 
 
 reverendissimi Patres, placetne vobis secun- 
 
 dam Sessionem fore die , ita tamen ut ad 
 
 alium diem transferri vel prorogari possit, si 
 
 pro rebus Concilii bene gerendis conducere 
 
 videbitur? 
 
 The votes having been collected in the usual manner, 
 the President says : 
 
 Decretum placuit Patribus ; itaque habe- 
 bitur secunda Sessio die... 
 
 Should the day be changed, it is announced in the 
 general Congregation. 
 
 Should it be necessary to defer, to another day or 
 hour, the continuation of the same Session, the Secre- 
 tary reads the following decree : 
 
 Illustrissime et Reverendissime Domine, 
 Reverendissimi Patres, cum omnia quae in 
 prsesenti Sessione tractanda erant, temporis 
 defectu commode expediri non possint, pla- 
 cetne yobis banc ipsam Sessionem continuari 
 hodie (vel eras), hora... 1 
 
 The President and the Fathers having answered : 
 Placet the Secretary says : 
 
 Nos, N , Archiepiscopus Quebecensis, de 
 
 consilio et consensu reverendissimorum Co- 
 episcoporum nostrorum, decernimus et indi- 
 
33 
 
 cimus hujus Sessionis continuationem fore 
 hodie ( aut eras J, hora. .. 
 
 The Promotor addressing the Secretaries, call on 
 them to draw up the report of the proceedings of the 
 Session. 
 
 Nos, N... et N..., hujus Synodi provin- 
 cialis Promotores, rogamus vos ejusdem Sy- 
 nodi Secretaries, hie praesentes, ut de om- 
 nibus et singulis in hac Sessione peractis, 
 unumplurave conficiatis instrumenta. 
 
 The Secretaries answer : 
 
 Conficiemus. 
 
 Then the President gives the solemn benediction, 
 and the Secretary publishes, from the pulpit, the forty 
 days indulgence granted, by the Council, to all who 
 haved assisted thereat, and thus closes the first session. 
 
SECOND SESSION. 
 
 I 
 
 Ail the proceedings and forms are the same as in the 
 first Session, with the exception of what follows : 
 
 After solemn mass, the President kneeling down, 
 and without his mitre, and the other Fathers kneeling 
 in like manner, he intones tha following anthem ; which 
 is continued by the choir, after which the 78 Psalm 
 is intoned. As soon as the first verse is sung, the 
 Fathers put on their mitres and take their seats. 
 
 Propitiu8 esto peccatis nostris, Domine 
 nequando dicant gentes : Ubi est Deus eorum t 
 
 PSAIiSlUS 98. 
 
 JJeus, venerunt gentes in haBreditatem tuam, 
 poUuerunt templum sanctum, * posuerunt 
 .Terusalem in pomorum custodiam. 
 
 Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum 
 escas volatilibus coeli, * cames sanctorum 
 tuorum bestiis terrae. 
 
 Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tanquam 
 aquam in circuitu Jerusalem ; * et non erat 
 qui sepeliret, 
 
 Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris ; * 
 subsannatio et illusio his, qui in circuitu nos- 
 tro sunt. 
 
35 
 
 Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem ; ♦ 
 accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus ? 
 
 Effunde iram tuam in gentes quae te non 
 noverunt, * et in regna quae nomen tuum non 
 mvocaverunt ; 
 
 Quia comederunt Jacob, * et locum ejus 
 desolaverunt. 
 
 Ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum anti- 
 quarum : * cito anticipent nos misericordiffi 
 tuae, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis. 
 
 Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster; * et prop- 
 ter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, Ubera nos : 
 
 Et propitius esto peccatis nostris * propter 
 nomen tuum ; 
 
 Ne forte dicant in gentibus : * Ubi est Deus 
 eorum ? 
 
 Et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis 
 nostris * ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum, qui 
 effusus est. 
 
 Introeat in conspectu tuo * gemitus com- 
 peditorum. 
 
 Secundum magnitudinembrachii.tui, *pos- 
 side filios mortificatorum ; , 
 
 Et redde vicinib nostris septuplum in sinu 
 eorum improperium ipsorum, * quod expro- 
 braverunt tibi, Domine. 
 
 Nos autem populus tuus, et oves pascuro 
 tuee, * confitebimur tibi in saeculum. 
 
36 
 
 In generationem et generationem * annun- 
 tiabimus laudem tuam. , 
 
 Gloria Patri. 
 
 Afler the conclusion of the Psaim and the repetition 
 of the anthem, the Bishops lay aside their mitres and 
 rise. The President turned towards the altar sings 
 the following prayers : 
 
 OREMIJS. 
 
 INosTROBUM tibi, Domine, curvantes genua 
 cordium, queesumas, ut bonum quod in nobis 
 a te requiritur exequamur : scilicet, ut 
 prompta tecum soUicitudine gradientes, dis- 
 cretionis arduee subtile judicium faciamus; 
 ac misericordiam diligentes, clareamus studiis 
 tibi placitae actionis. Per Christum Dominum 
 nostrum. E. Amen. 
 
 OREfllVS. 
 
 JMentibus nostris, quaesumus Domine, Spi- 
 ritum sanctum benignus infunde: quatenus 
 in nomine tuo coUecti, sic in cunctis teneamus 
 cum moderamine pietatis justitiam, ut hie a 
 te in nuUo dissentiat voluntas nostra ; sed 
 semper rafionabilia meditantes, quae tibi sunt 
 placita, etdictis exequamur et factis. Per 
 Dominum... in unitate ejusdem... K. Amen. 
 
 ORDMVS. 
 
 The Beacon sings : 
 Flectamus genua. — Levate. 
 
37 
 
 Deus, qui nos justitiam loqui, et qua recta 
 sunt praecipis judicare: tribue nobis, ut 
 neque iniquitas in ore, nee pravitas inveniatur 
 m mente, ut puro cordi purior sermo con- 
 sentiat, ostendatur in opere justitia, neque 
 appareat dolus in lingua, sed ex corde Veritas 
 
 proferatur. PerDominum R. Amen. 
 
 After the conclusion of the prayer, the Deacon, in 
 
 he manner described in the first session, goes to sing 
 
 the Gospel. , 005 
 
 Sequentia sanoti Evangelii secundum 
 Lucam. 
 
 In Ulo tempore ; Designavit Dominus et alios 
 septuaginta duos, et misit iUos binos ante fa- 
 ciem suam in omnem civitatem et locum quo 
 erat ipse venturus. Et dicebat illis : Messis 
 quidem multa, opetarii autem pauci. Eogate 
 ergo Dominum messis, ut mittat operarios in 
 messem suam. Ite : ecce ego mitto vos sicut 
 agnos inter lupos. Nolite portare sacculum, 
 neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem' 
 per viam salutaveritis. In quamcumque do- 
 mum intraveritis, primum dicite : Pax huic 
 domui ; et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet 
 super ilium pax vestra : sin autem, ad vos re- 
 vertetur. In eadem autem domo manete, 
 edentes et bibentes quas apud illos sunt : 
 
 E

 dignus est enim opetarius mercede sua. Nolite 
 transirede domo in domuBi. Et in quam- 
 cumque civitatem intraveritifl, et susceperint 
 vos, HMiBducate quae apponuntur vobis: et 
 curate infirmos, qui in ilia sunt, et dicite illis : 
 Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei. 
 
 After the kissing of llie book and the incensing 
 of the Archbishop, as in the first session, all the 
 Fathers being uncovered and kneeling, the ?reswient 
 intones the Vent Creator, 
 
 As soon as the first strophe has been sung, the 
 Fathers rise and remain turned towards the altar un- 
 til the end of the hymn. 
 
 The hymn concluded, all sit down, the Bishops put 
 on their mitres, and the sermon, if one is to be 
 preached, here begins. 
 
 After the sermon, the Promoters demand the pro- 
 mulgation of the Decrees. 
 
 Illuptrissime et Reverendissime Domine, 
 Eeverendissimi Patres, Decreta in proxima 
 Congregatione (vel proximis Congregatio- 
 nibus ) sancita, et communi omnium Patrum 
 assensu comprobata, in hac secunda Synodi 
 provincialis Sessione edici ac promulgari, 
 omni debita reverentia, instamus et requi- 
 rimus. 
 
 The Secretary, with the above mentioned cere- 
 monies, receives, from the President's hands, the 
 Decrees, and goes to publish them in the pulpit. 
 
39 
 
 ^ Finally, he publishes the holding of the following 
 Session m the same manner as in the first Session. 
 
 The Decrees having been published and received 
 according to the prescribed forms, the President gives

 After Mass, the President intones the anthem 
 Ezaudi nos, and the Chanters sing the 68 Psalm, Sal- 
 vum me fac^ Deus, at its conclusion, the anthem is 
 repeated. 
 
 Then the President sings the following prayers: 
 
 Ad te, Domine, interni clamoris vocibus 
 proclamantes, unanimiter postulamus, utres- 
 pectu tu8B gratise solidati, praecones veritatis 
 efficiamur intrepidi, tuumque valeamus ver- 
 bum cum omni fiducia loqui. Per Domi- 
 num.... R. Amen. 
 
 Omnipotens sempiteme Deus, qui sacro^erbi 
 tui oraculo promisisti, ubi duo, vel tres in 
 nomine tuo congregati essent, te medium fore : 
 adesto coetui nostro propitius, et cor nostrum 
 illumina misericors; ut a bono misecordiae 
 tuae nuUatenus aberremus, sed rectum justitise 
 tuae tramitem in omnibus teneamus. Per Do-

 Jesus: Non dico tibi usque septies ; sed usque 
 
 septuagies septies. 
 
 After the kissing of the book and the incensing, the 
 President intones the hymn Veni Creator, The hymn 
 •is followed by the sermon, and the Session closes in 
 the same manner as the preceeding one.

 The Secretary then calls by name, all the members 
 of the Council, who, by privilege or custom, are 
 bound to assist thereat. 
 
 After which, the Promoters move for the publication 
 of the Decree concerning the subscription.

 When the Bishops have returned to their seats, the 
 Promoters move for the Decree convening the next 
 Provincial Council.
