Not following the rubrics of his own order,3 he directs the priest to make the chalice directly he has finished vesting, and apparently some time before he says confiteor.

An early instance of this preparation of the chalice between the epistle and gospel, may be found in a ritual book of Soissons, written between 1175 and 1207, by order of Nivelon de Cherisy, bishop of that church. The little objection to making an altar into a credence may be noted again: "Post epistolam, .. super quoddam altare retro magnum ministret5 subdiaconus diacono panem et vinum et aquam." Then after the creed the deacon washes his hands, "eatque ad mensam propositionis, ubi proposuit ea que ad opus sacrificii preparavit. Tunc cum ...
