¶The Graduall with Alleluya Tracte & Sequenties.

* 1.1The Responsorie, which is called the Graduall (beyng wont to be song at the steps going vp) with alleluya, Hono∣rius saith that Ambrose made them, but Pope Gregory or∣deined them to be receiued.

Upon festiuall dayes the Sequencies, which were wont to be song, were chiefly composed by an Abbot, called Nok∣kerus de S. Gallo,* 1.2 And by Pope Nicholas commaunded to be song in the Masse.

The graduall the people were wont to sing when the Bishop was about to go vp to the pulpit, or some higher standing, where the word of God might be the better and more sensibly heard at his mouth, reading the Epistle and the Gospell.
