1. The Hour-Services were latterly contained, so far as the text was concerned, in the _Breviarium_, or _Portiforium_, as it was called by preference in England[305]. The musical portions of this book were contained in the _Antiphonarium_. But the Breviary itself was the result of a gradual amalgamation of many different books: _The Breviary._ (_a_) The _Antiphonarium_, properly so called, containing the Anthems (_Antiphonae_) to the Psalms, the Responds (_Responsoria_) to the Lessons (_Lectiones_), and the other odds and ends of Verses and Responds (_Versiculi et Responsoria_) throughout the Service; (_b_) 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; (_d_) 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 _Passionale_, containing the acts of Saints read on their festivals; and (_e_) The _Collectarium_, containing the _Capitula_, or short Lessons used at all the Hour-services except Mattins, and the _Collectæ_ or _Orationes_ used at the same. _Procession Services._ 2. The Procession Services were contained in the _Processionale_ or _Processionarium_. It will be remembered that the Rubric in our "Prayer-Book" concerning the Anthem ("In Quires and places where they sing, here followeth the Anthem") is _indicative_ rather than _imperative_, and that it was first added in 1662. It states a fact; and, no doubt, when processions were abolished, with the altars to which they were made, Cathedral Choirs would have found themselves in considerable danger of being swept away also, had they not made a stand, and been content to sing the Processional Anthem without moving from their position in the Choir. This alone sufficed to carry on the tradition; and looked upon in this way the modern Anthem Book of our Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, and the Hymn Book of our parish Churches, are the only legitimate successors of the old _Processionale_. It must be borne in mind, also, that the Morning and Evening Anthems in our "Prayer-Book" do not correspond to one another so closely as might at first sight appear to be the case. The Morning Anthem comes immediately before the Litany which precedes the Communion Service, and corresponds to the Processional Anthem or Respond sung at the churchyard procession before Mass. The Evening Anthem, on the other hand, follows the third Collect, and corresponds to the Processional Anthem or Respond sung "_eundo et redeundo_," in going to, and returning from, some subordinate altar in the church at the close of Vespers. _The Mass._
