Description:Excerpt from Turgies and Offices of the Church: For the Use of English Readers, in Illustration of the Book of Common Prayer It has been also thought that the study of the gradual development of acts of Christian worship, if it could be brought within the reach of English students in general, would raise the estimate of the devotional value of the English Services. For it is well known that the omission from the Book of Common Prayer of various devotions and ceremonies which belonged to the Mediaeval Services is viewed with regret by many. And the conviction that some of these belong to the very essence of Christian worship has led to results which are much deplored. But the importance of practices and modes of thought which are sometimes spoken of as Catholic assumes very different proportions, if it is discovered that they had their origin, not in ancient, but in mediaeval times, and that they have been local, not universal, and changing instead of being fixed. It appears to the author that the common practice of regarding the forms which were in use in England at the beginning of the sixteenth century, as if they were the original sources of the Prayer Book, is fruitful in mischief. For in this way the origin of the English Services is traced to a collection of devotions more deeply affected by mediaeval developments of ritual and doctrine than those of any other country.
