Overview

Excerpt from The Book of Common Worship Concerning the manner in which the different Services are ordered and arranged, and the best way in which they may be used to edification, a few suggestions are offered in the pages immediately following this Preface; and throughout the Book, the careful reader will find that the words of guidance which precede the various parts of the services are designed, not only to mark their spiritual significance, but also to enable all the People to join in the Acts of Worship, that all things may be done decently and in order. The longer and more important rubrics are tran scribed from the Directory for Worship of this Church, which disapproves alike of confining Ministers to set or fixed forms of prayer for public lvorship. And of permit ting that important service to be disgraced by mean, ir regular, or extravagant effusions. It is to be remembered, therefore, that the forms here offered are to be used only if the Minister so please, as a help in Common Wor ship, and not without a constant care and diligence, by acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures, by meditation, by reading the best writers on the subject, and by a life of communion with God in secret, to endeavour to acquire both the spirit and the gift of Prayer.
