“_Gloria_, ergo incepto; Eat principalis subdiaconus in
pulpitum per dexteram partem chori subdiacono (secundario)
librum portante precedente, Vnde si contingat leccionem aliquam
precedere sicut in natali Domini siue in septimana Pentecostes
iiijᵒʳ temporum; secundus subdiaconus leget, et sacerdos cum
suis ministris dicet _epistolam_. et _Gradale_ et _Alleluia_
et _Sequenciam_ et hijs dictis eat ad suum sedile et ibi dicet
oraciones. Lecta epistola in pulpito recedet subdiaconus
principalis ex sinistra parte chori socio suo prenotato
precedente et librum portante,” &c. (p. 377).
The following passage has against it in the margin:—
“_De modo eundi ad euangelium in magno pulpito._ Et preparent
se omnes ministri altaris ad eundum pro euangelio lecturo
scilicet iij diaconi et iij subdiaconi Principalibus diacono
et subdiacono textus portantibus et ij turiferarij et ij
ceroferarij et ij clerici pueri ferentes cruces et hij omnes
per chorum exeant Set in eundo ad euangelium diaconi ire
debent ex parte dextra chori precedentibus vno turiferario
et ceroferario et vna cruce et subdiaconi ex sinistra
precedentibus vno thuriferario et ceroferario cum cruce, Vnde
incepto evangelio stabunt coram diaconis subdiaconi omnes et
clerici cruces portantes principali subdiacono portante textum
ante pectus Lecto evangelio ibunt ad altare modo contrario quia
diaconi ibunt ex parte sinistra et subdiaconi ex parte dextra.
Vnde semper quando aliquis vel aliqui venient in pulpitum
magnum ad legendum euangelium siue epistolam siue exposicionem;
venient in dextra et recedant in sinistra et dabit sacerdoti
euangelium ad osculandum,” &c. (p. 379).
Again—
“Completorium pulsatur” in a given way. “Vnde sciendum quod
quando iij cantant ad lectrinam in choro siue in magno
pulpito.... Nota quod quandocumque canonicus leget siue cantet
in magno pulpito siue in choro sequetur eum ministrando
vicarius siue clericus in habitu nigro nisi chorus capis
induatur sericis” (p. 382).
Later, _i.e._ in 1236, there are directions for the choir to face the
altar whilst the Gospel is being read at the altar, we may presume, for
the next sentence runs thus: “Et dum legitur in pulpito debet chorus se
convertere ad lectorem euangelij donec euangelium perlegatur.”
