Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Book of Common Prayer This volume is intended to illustrate the history and meaning of the Book of Common Prayer, and more especially of those services which are in most frequent use or have been the subjects of theological discussion. The author has sometimes ventured to repeat his state ments in different chapters, in order to make each chapter as intelligible and complete as its necessary limits will permit. The phrase common prayers was used in the middle of the sixteenth century to signify what we call public worship.' It was used not only by the reform ing party in the Church, but also by their opponents, and it is therefore an error to suppose that the adop tion of the name was intended to mark a difference between the reformed and the unreformed worship of the Church in England.
