'First' and 'Second'

I placed a split tag based on Ellinwood's edition, but Adrian quite rightly points out the similarity of the so-called 1st & 2nd, and that the preces & 'first' and 'second' responses have been combined differently in sources, the earliest of which is dated 1625. I can't access the Googlebook pages myself, unfortunately, but the Ellinwood's preface also mention's Lowe's "Some short directions for the performance of Cathedral Service" (1661) in which the alto parts are combined throughout.
