Excerpt from A History of the Book of Common Prayer and Other Books of Authority: With an Attempt to Ascertain How the Rubrics and Canons Have Been Understood and Observed From the Reformation to Accession of George III, Also an Account of the State of Religious Parties in England From 1640 to 1660 Book of Common Prayer, the Rubrics and Canons, are rather numerous; yet the process to which I have resorted in the present volume has not been adopted by preceding writers to any considerable extent. My object is to shew how the rubrics and canons of the Church have been understood and observed from the Reformation to the accession of George III. We have a body of rubrics and canons, by which the clergy are supposed to be governed; it cannot, therefore, be a waste of time or labour to endeavour to ascertain the intentions of their framers. In the prosecution of my work, I have collected the views of contemporaries in each reign, as well of those who were unfriendly to the Church as of her strenuous supporters. When practices vary among the clergy, it is desirable to ascertain whether the Church has pronounced any opinion on the matters in dispute; and for this purpose I have instituted an inquiry into the state of Conformity and Non conformity in each reign since the Reformation. It will be seen from these pages, that Churchmen and Nonconformists have at all times agreed respecting the meaning of the rubrics and canons.
