Excerpt from The Oblation and the Invocation: Being an Inquiry Into Their History and Purpose
Here were liturgies, we may say four, in different parts of the world - throughout the civilized world of that day. If a Christian had travelled from Paris through Arles and Lyons to Milan and Rome, and across the Mediterranean to Hippo and to Carthage, and on to Alexandria and to Cesarea, and back to Constantinople, and to cities on routes shooting out in all directions from the Mediterranean, he would have heard in each church, in each parish church of each of these four grand divisions, on every Sunday morn ing, the Eucharistic service, in which the sacred words, the oblation, and the invocation formed the nucleus.
This is revealed to us in quotations from Augustine, and Chrysostom, and Cyril, and Cyprian, and Irenaeus, and Tertullian, and Justin Martyr.
