English religious guild regulations often required members to
recite the "Placebo" and the "Dirige" for dead members, and I think I
recall some that also call for them to say the penitential psalms on
occasion. You might check the guild certificates in Toulmin Smith's
_English Guilds_ (Early English Text Society, o.s. 40, 1870).
