Cassian indeed seems to make an exception in the way of the monasteries of Egypt: but his exception helps to clear the con trary rule, and shows also that their devotion was in the main performed in the standing posture. For he says, though by reason of their continual fast ings and labour night and day, they were unable to stand all the time, while twelve psalms were read ing, yet they that read in course, always stood up to read: and at the last psalm, they all stood up and repeated it alternately, adding the Gloria Patri at the end. In other places it was always the custom to stand, as is plain not only from this ex ception, but from the testimony of St. Austin,0 who Speaks of the psalmody as an act of devotion, which all the people performed standing in the church.
