This is the proper preface from Chemnitz' Braunschweig=Woelfenbuettel Church Order of 1569. You may enjoy the Latin too.
Ascension [Ascensionis].
[Musical notation:] It is truly meet etc. through Christ our Lord, who after His resurrection, appeared openly to all his disciples, and in their sight was taken up into heaven, so He might grant us to be partakers of his divinity. And therefore with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the host of heaven we sing the hymn of Your glory, without end, saying: [Musical notation ends].
Holy etc.
[Vere dignum etc. Per Christum Dominum nostrum, qui post resurrectionem suam omnibus discipulis suis manifestus apparuit, et ipsis cernentibus est elevatus in coelum, ut nos divinitatis suae tribueret esse participes. Et ideo cum angelis et archangelis, cum thronis et dominationibus, cumque omni militia coelestis exercitus hymnum gloriae tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes:]

so also in Lucas Lossius "Psalmodia..." 1561 (Luneburg/Wittenberg); Matthäus Ludecus "Missale..." 1589 (Havelburg); and Andrae Bezeli "Cantica Sacra..."1613 (Magdeburg). These are all Evangelical chant books. Do the Church Orders usually have music notated in them also?
Thanks much Sean. Unfortunately Sehling did not include the notation in the Kirchenordnungen, but the orders themselves did include the notation.
