This is very helpful! Is there a reason that the confession is skipped?

[@AnglicanOffice]

The rubrics never require the Confession at Evensong, so it is acceptable to skip it from time to time.

Is it necessary to announced the chapter number for a reading that commences a book? For example would one say “here begineth the first chapter of the song of Solomon” or does saying “here begineth the song of solemon” suffice?

[@AnglicanOffice]

The latter sufficeth.
