Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Principles of the Book of Common Prayer Considered: A Series of Lecture Sermons The many controversies which have arisen of late on the subject of the Prayer Book, may be referred partly, indeed, to the prejudices of the laity; but, perhaps, more so to mistakes in the teaching of the clergy. We have generally found that any restoration of those forms and ceremonies of our Church which were usual at the time of the Reformation, have been met by the people with distrust and with resistance; but, at the same time, we must in candour allow that in many cases this distrust and resistance have been the consequences of a want of proper information, rather than acts of wilful disobedience to the Church´s laws. The clergy should reflect that they anticipate the natural order of things when they strive to gather the fruit before they have sown the seed. It is a true Catholic principle in its very best sense to love such usages and customs as bear the mark of antiquity. To give to anything the name of "innovation," is to give to it the name most odious in the eyes of a Catholic and an Englishman. But they whose occupations in life are (as must be the case in the great majority of the people) so all-absorbing as to deprive them of the opportunity of searching and reading for themselves, will of course measure antiquity by their own memories.
