Since the issuance of the revised Book of Offices in 1710 by Henry V in accordance with the canon Quia solliciti after the Schism of 1614, the Daily Office of the Church of Nortend has included four services. These are spread throughout the liturgical day are known as Mattins, Nones, Vespers and Compline, which are ordered for morning, noon, evening and night respectively. Masses may only be said after Mattins and before Nones.

Liturgy

The beginning of the Breviary before the Book of Offices was promulgated. Shewn is the beginning of Mattins.

The structure of each of the Offices of the Book of Offices is more or less the same. Before each Office, the Pater noster and Ave Maria should be prayed. All Offices begin with the ordinary Versicles, Deus in adjutorium meum intende, followed by Gloria Patri and then Alleluia, or from Septuagesima to Easter Day, Laus tibi Domine.

They similarly end with the Litany, which usually consists of the Kyrie, followed by the Pater noster, Confiteor, Misereatur, Absolutionem and then the Preces. The Collect of the Day follows, and then the Remembrances and finally the Prayers.

Whenever the Psalmody is sung in the course of the Office, the three Psalms are all under the same Antiphon, with only one Gloria Patri at the end before the Antiphon is repeated. On feriæ and festa simplices, the Antiphon at the beginning of the Psalms is only announced, insofar as it is only chaunted until the asterisk. On festa duplices, it is sung entire.

Mattins

Vigils begins with Domine labia mea aperies followed by the ordinary Versicles.

Thereafter, the Venite with proper Antiphon is chaunted, followed by the Hymn of Vigils.

This is followed by three Psalms. The Psalms are followed by three Lessons from Scripture or Patristic Texts, each preceded by a Blessing. After each Lesson, a Responsory is chaunted followed by a Versicle and Response. From the Psalms to the Response is known as a Nocturn.

On festa duplices, there are three Nocturns and consequently nine Psalms, nine Lessons and nine Responsories. On festa simplices and feriæ, there is only one Nocturn. On most festa and some feriæ, the Hymn Te Deum is the last Responsory.

After the Nocturns, the Canticle Benedictus is chaunted with its own Antiphon. The Office then concludes with the Litany.

Nones

After the ordinary Versicles, the Hymn of Nones is chaunted, followed by the three Psalms. After the Psalms, the Chapter follows, and then a Responsory followed by a short Versicle and Response. This is followed by one of the eight Old Testament Canticles is chaunted, without Gloria Patri but with its own Antiphon. The Office concludes with the Litany.

Vespers

After the ordinary Versicles, the Hymn of Vespers is chaunted, followed by the three Psalms. After the Psalms, the Chapter follows, and then a Responsory followed by a short Versicle and Response. This is followed by the Canticle Magnificat, with its own Antiphon. The Office concludes with the Litany.

Compline

After the ordinary Versicles, the Hymn of Compline is chaunted, followed by the three Psalms. After the Psalms, the Chapter follows, and then a Responsory followed by a short Versicle and Response. This is followed by the Canticle Nunc dimmitis, with its own Antiphon. The Office concludes with the Litany.
