Volume contains the two Books of Common Prayer set forth by authority of Parliament in the reign of King Edward VI. They are printed concurrently in such a manner that the reader may easily observe the differences existing in them, and trace the progress which was made at that period in the reformation of religious worship. In the Appendix is added theO rder of the communion, which had been published previously by Royal authority, and carried into effect the first measure of a religious character adopted by the legislature in that reign. It will be necessary, by way of preface, to give a short notice of the opinions and occurrences of those times, in order to bring the subject distinctly before the general reader. The changes which had been made during the reign of Henry VIII. for the establishment of pure religion, were neither many in number, nor in themselves of the first importance. Depending in great measure upon the opinions of that prince, they had their origin, and took their character, from some temper of mind, or some secular design, with which they had no natural connection. They were adopted in the first instance without regard to their relative importance, and were persisted in or abandoned without consideration of their real value.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a landmark work in the history of Christianity in England. Authored by leading religious figures, it presents the revised liturgy and doctrine of the Church of England during the reign of King Edward VI. The core of the collection is the Order of Communion, which had previously existed in Latin and was now to be performed in English. This change reflected the new emphasis on the importance of lay participation in religious services. The order also removed elements that were seen as superstitious and focused on the central themes of repentance, faith, and the importance of receiving Communion. Along with this Order of Communion, the book also includes the Order for Matins and Evensong, which were to be used in conjunction with the Communion service. This work had a profound impact on the religious life of the Church of England, ensuring that the service was accessible to all and focused on the key principles of the faith.
