sented to Charles V. at the Diet
at Augsburg (June 25, 1530):

AUGUSTINE (the missionary), his
Ritual for the English Church, 2.
Ave Maria, the Angelic Saluta-
tion :-

'Ave, Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum; benedicta
tu in mulieribus, et bene-
dictus fructus ventris tui,
Jesus. Sancta Maria, mater
Dei, ora pro nobis pecca-
toribus nunc et in hora mor-
tis nostræ. Amen.'

The first part seems to have
been in use in the seventh

century. The second part
was fixed about the fifteenth
century. Maskell (Prymer,
P. 71, n.) gives a second
clause appointed in the 14th
century

'Et benedicta sit venerabilis
mater tua Anna, ex qua tua
caro virginea et immaculata
processit. Amen.' In the
Prymer, of the beginning of
the 15th century, there is no
second clause (Monumenta
Ritualia, II. 176).
