Excerpt from Origines Ecclesiasticae, Vol. 5 of 8: Or the Antiquities of the Christians Church, and Other Works The service usually began with reading or singing of psalms, as appears from that of St. Jerom, describing the service of the Egyptian monks: "They meet at nine o'clock, and then the psalms are sung, and the Scriptures are read, and after prayers they all sit down, and the lather preaches a sermon to them." And so Cassian represents it, "that first the psalms were sung, and then followed two lessons, one out of the Old Testament, and the other out of the New. Only on the Lord's day and the fifty days of Pentecost, and the Sabbath or Saturday, they read one lesson out of the Acts of the Apostles, or the Epistles, and the other out of the Gospels." But probably there might he a difference in the order of reading in different Churches. And that may reconcile the different opinions of learned men concerning the order of their service. For some think they began with rending the Scriptures, and others with a prayer of confession. The Author of the Constitutions, it is certain, prescribes first the reading of the Old Testament, and then the Psalms, and after that the Acts of the Apostles and Epistles, and last of all the Gospels. So that the psalms were intermingled with the lessons according to the rules and prescriptions, which that author had observed in some Churches. St. Basil' speaks of a confession made to God upon their knees, after which they rose up, and betook themselves to sing psalms to God.
