134 SACRIST’S ROLL OF LICHFIELD CATHEDRAL. 
(2) The Procession Services correspond to our Hymns or Anthems sung 
before the Litany which precedes the Communion Service in the morning, 
and after the third Collect in the evening, only no longer sung in the course 
of procession to the Churchyard Cross or a subordinate Altar in the Church ; 
the only relic (in common use) of the actual Procession being that used on 
such occasions as the Consecration of a Church, etc. 
(3) The Mass answers to our Communion Service. 
(4) The Occasional Services are either those used by a Priest, such as 
Baptism, Marriage, Visitation and Communion of the Sick, Burial of the 
Dead, etc., or those reserved for a Bishop, as Confirmation, Ordination, 
Consecration of Churches, etc. 
All these Services but the last mentioned are contained in our ‘‘ Prayer Book,” 
with all their details, except the lessons at Mattins and Evensong, which are 
read from the Bible, and the Hymns and Anthems, which are, since the six- 
teenth century, at the discretion of the authorities. This concentration or 
compression of the services into one book is the natural result of time, and 
the further we go back the more numerous are the books which our old 
inventories show. To take the four classes of Services and Service-Books 
mentioned above : 
(1) The Hour-Services were latterly contained, so far as the text was 
concerned, in the Breviariwm, or Portiforium, as it was called by preference 
in England. The musical portions of this book were contained in the Azz/z- 
phonarium. But the Breviary itself was the result of a gradual amalgamation 
of many different books : 
(2) The Axtiphonarium, properly so called, containing the Anthems (4m/z- 
phone) to the Psalms, the Responds (Responsoria) to the Lessons (Lectzones), 
and the other odds and ends of Verses and Responds ( Verstcli et Responsoria) 
throughout the Service ; 
(2) The Psalterium, containing the Psalms arranged as used at the different 
Hours, together with the Litany as used on occasions ; 
(c) The Hymnarium, or collection of Hymns used in the different Hour- 
Services ; 
(zd) The Legenda, containing the long Lessons used at Mattins, as well from 
the Bible, from the Sermologus, and from the Homiliarius, used respectively 
at the first, second, and third Nocturns at Mattins on Sundays and some other 
days, as also from the Passtonale, containing the acts of Saints read on their 
festivals ; and 
(e) The Collectarium, containing the Capztuda, or short Lessons used at all 
the Hour-Services except Mattins, and the Collecte or Orationes used at the 
same. 
(2) The Procession Services were contained in the Processtonale or Pro- 
cesstonarium. It will be remembered that the rubric in our ‘‘ Prayer Book”
