THE OFFICE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A READER AND SINGER IS PERFORMED ON THIS WISE.
He that is to be made a taper-bearer is brought by two subdeacons into the middle of the church, and he maketh three reverences. And, turning himself, he boweth thrice to the Archpriest; and, having been conducted to the Archpriest, he boweth his head, and the Archpriest signeth him crosswise with the hand upon his head thrice. And after this, placing his hand upon his head, he saith this prayer.
