Easy-peasy!
The usual method of dating was by reference to the first words of the
Introit sung at the Sunday morning Mass. This is the Saturday
following the Sunday at which the introit began with the word 'oculi'.
This would be the third Sunday of Lent, whose introit begins 'Oculi mei
. . .' - 'Mine eyes are ever towards the Lord, for he shall pluck my
feet out of the net: look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me, for I
am desolate, afflicted, and in misery. Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up
my soul: My God, in thee have I trusted, let me not be confounded . .
.'
The Supple Doctor.
