Ritual Conformity - Unknown Author - Bog

Ritual Conformity is a classic Christian studies text. It is important to bear in mind, in interpreting the prefaces and rubrics of the Prayer Book, that they were written at various times, and that their language is not generally the current language of our own day, but the technical language of the times at which they were respectively written. The first section, headed "The Preface," was added in 1662 to the second, entitled "Concerning the Service of the Church," which is the original Preface to the Prayer-Book of 1549, with some important additions and slight omissions made in 1552.
