These two (2) leaves (4 consecutive pages) are from the Roman Missal titled "Ferdinandvs Dei Gratia s. Ecclesiae Coloniensis" (Ferdinand by God's Grace of the Church of Cologne), printed in Cologne, Holy Roman Empire, in 1626.
The Roman Missal is one of the oldest Eucharistic prayers used in the celebration of the Mass in the Roman Catholic Church.
The text on the leaf is from the Canon of the Mass and includes the phrase "FINITA PRÆFATIONE" (The Preface Finished) and the prayer "Te igitur cle-métiffime Pa-ter, per Iefum Chriftum filium tuu Dominum noftrum, fupplices rogamus, ac petimus" (Therefore, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, we humbly pray and beseech you).

Dating based on usage
Interesting dating m, found at the bottom of the second page is affixed a period label:
And for our Queen Maria Theresa, and Francis, our Emperor-elect, her Consort, and Associate in the Kingdom
The phrase "Emperor-elect" suggests the book was printed after Francis's election in 1745, but possibly before his full coronation or widespread recognition as Emperor. However, this title was sometimes used ceremonially even after coronation. Given this, the missal page likely dates before the information on the label, 1745 and 1765, during the joint reign of Maria Theresa and Francis I.

ENDING WITH THE PREFACE
Extending and joining his hands, raising his eyes to heaven, and then lowering them; bowing deeply before the Altar, with his hands clasped together, he says: deeply
Therefore, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, we humbly ask and beg.
He kisses the altar.
