To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Apostolical Consti- tutions doubtless report a well-known usage, when they say that the congregation reverently stood, while the reading took place ; of which some churches re- tain a vestige, in the custom of rising, when the little fragment by synecdoche, called the Gospel, is recited. Liberty was given to the aged and infirm to remain seated. In our times, when people refuse to stand even in prayer, such a usage would prove burdensome in the extreme. There is good reason to believe, that... the portions of Scripture for public reading were at first left to the free choice of the presiding minister. After a while, when festivals and fasts became numerous, in- genuity was exercised to affix certain passages to the subject of commemoration. From this it was an easy step to a programme of regular lessons, for all Sundays and great days. But these were far from being uniform or immutable. Thus we find that the Churches in Syria read at Pentecost from the Acts of the Apostles, while those of Spain and Gaul read the Eevelation.
