Thus it appears that the four original forms from which all the Liturgies in the world have been taken, resemble one another too much to have grown up independently, and too litttle to have been copied from one another.

The Roman Form.
This is translated from the Missal now in use in the Church of Rome.
Therefore, O Lord, we beseech Thee graciously to accept this oblation of our bounden service, from us and from thy whole family. Dispose our days in thy peace, and command us to be delivered from eternal damnation, and to be numbered in the congregation of thine elect, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
