The old service-books of the English Church . m , Dixit insipiens . On Wednesdays. 5. Psalm , Salvum me fac . On Thursdays. 6. Psalm , Exultate Deo . On Fridays. 7. Psalm , Cantate Domino. On Saturdays. 8. Psalm ex. -cl., Dixit Dominus . . Spread over the week. It is to be noted that the initial letters of the two psalmsQuid gloriaris (Hi.) and Domine exaudi (cii.) are in somePsalters distinguished by being somewhat larger than theinitial letters of the ordinary psalms. Sometimes theseinitials are treated as of equal importance to those markingthe main divisions ; sometimes they are larger and finerthan many which open the main divisions. Such is thecase in the twelfth-century MS., Brit. Mus., Ar., 230. Inthe eleventh-century MS., Brit. Mus., Ar., 60, the initialletters of these two psalms far surpass in importance 1 The numbering- of the psalms here given is that of the Book ofCommon Prayer. The opening phrase of each section, too, is given. PsxLMys irsi dm/id---?•%? ,.
