CHAPTER 10

How the Night Office Is to Be Said in Summer Time

Feb. 12—June 13—Oct. 13

From Easter until the Calends of November let the same number of Psalms

be kept as prescribed above; but no lessons are to be read from the

book, on account of the shortness of the nights. Instead of those three

lessons let one lesson from the Old Testament be said by heart and

followed by a short responsory. But all the rest should be done as has

been said, that is to say that never fewer than twelve Psalms should be

said at the Night Office, not counting Psalm 3 and Psalm 94.
