Excerpt from An Elementary Introduction to the Book of Common Prayer
Concerning the place of assembly although it serve for other uses as well as this, yet seeing that our Lord Himself hath to this as to the chiefest of all other plainly sanctified His own temple, by entitling it the House of Prayer, What preeminence of dignity soever hath been either by the ordinance or through the special favour and providence of God annexed unto His Sanctuary, the principal cause thereof must needs be in regard of common prayer. - hooker, Ecol. Pol. V. Xxv. 2.

It shows how the text originated in the apostolic era and emerged from the Latin services of the medieval church. The final form that we recognise today resulted from the 16th-century Reformation, and this book follows the fascinating process of its development through the Prayer Book revisions of Edward VI, Elizabeth I, James VI and I, and Charles II. The author traces the development of each element of the service, helping us to appreciate the historical context and the richness of the book's language.
