"In the Use of Sarum, which was the point of reference for these early Anglican liturgiologists, Matins ordinarily had only three lessons and three responds - that is to say on ferias, simple feasts and throughout the whole of Eastertide. On simple feasts of nine lessons and on Sundays and double feasts outside Eastertide it had nine. Sarum had no Matins with only six lessons. The monastic liturgies could run to twelve lessons in three groups of four. The number of lessons was one of the many different features used to distinguish the rank of the day. But I had better desist from boring further on this subject!  \n  \n\nI don't have a church job, but I wouldn't necessarily be against the idea - so long as it was short! "
