After the custom of the old Cathedrals the I'saltcr is daily recited by the Canons, one portion
by each person privately, as a memorial of their fraternal unity in work and worship, a.)d as a
spiritual intercession for the whole Church ; concerning which holy use Ur. Donne, sometnne Dean
of St Paul's wrote • "Every day God receives from us Canons, howcvdr we be cPivided from one
another in place, the sacrifice of praise i,v the whole Hooke of I'salmcs. Ami though we may be
absent fi-^m thw r^nire, yet, wheresoever dispersed, we make up a quire .in this service of saymg
over all the Psalmcs every day." .
