Immediately, after this Sentence of absolution and benediction, every one receiveth his crown, which Christ the righteous Judge puts upon their heads;1 as the reward which he hath promised of his grace and mercy unto the faith and good works of all them that loved that his appearing. ⟨p. 175⟩Then every one taking his Crown from his Head, 2shall lay it down as it were at the Feet of Christ, and prostrating themselves, shall with one heart and voice, in an heavenly sort and consort, say, Praise, and Honour, and Glory, and Power, 3and Thanks be unto thee, O blessed Lamb, who sittest upon the Throne, wast killed, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God, Kings and Priests, to reign with thee in thy Kingdom for evermore. Amen.
