Some of the DIFFERENCES and ALTERATIONS In the Present Common-Prayer-Book FROM The BOOK established by LAW in quinto sexto Edw. 6. and 1 Eliz. The Kalendar THere are sundry Saints daies although in black Letters not found in the Books of 5.6 Edw. 6. or 1. Eliz. to the number of 50. and moe Which however it may seem a small matter yet Time may turn them into Red Letters and so claim observance of them For Dr Cousens in his Kalendar which he calls the Kalendar of the Church in his Book of Devotions hath put one of them already viz. St Barnabies Day into Red which however the Epistle and Gospel for that day and for the Conversion of S. Paul be extant in the Service Book yet in 2. Edw. 6. and in 5.6 Edw. 6. those Dayes were expunged out of the Catalogue of Holy Daies On Aug. 7. The name of Jesus is put in for an old Holy-day which however used in times of Popery but under a more gentle Title a Fe● even in 2. as well as in 5.6 Edw. 6. and 1. Eliz. it was expelled Howbeit Dr Cousens in his fore-mentioned Devotions hath already set down proper Lessons for that day viz. Mat. 1. and Philip. 2. which sheweth how desirous some are to keep an Holy-day to a Name The Order for Proper Lessons On Whitsunday 1 Eliz. the first Lesson at Even Prayer was Deut. 18. now that is thrust out and Wisd 1. crept into the room And if we look into the Lessons for Holy-daies we shall find many Chapters of the Canonical Scripture laid aside and Apocryphal Chapters ordered to be read See some instances in the Margent ●alendar The New ●en 46.

There are sundry other Lessons altered which I here omit It is true the Stat. of 1 Eliz. alloweth one alteration or addition of certain Lessons to be used on every Sunday in the year but after mention of some by name it addeth And none other or otherwise Also in the present Kalendars there are four Chapters of Joshua left out that were in the Kalendars of 5. and 6. Edw. 6. And on Octob. 13. Judith 15 16. are appointed now to be read but no such thing in 5 6. Edw. 6. Which deserves consideration seeing so many Canonical Chapters of use are not at all appointed to be read in publike The Rubricks The first Page of the present Books appoint Ministers to use such Ornaments as were of use in 2. Edw. 6. not declaring what those be The Book established in 5.6 Edw. 6. hath no such order The Book of Canons Can. 24. enjoyneth other Ornaments Hereby Ministers must break that Canon or the present Rubrick which the 14th Canon requireth all to observe So that the 14th Canon and the 24th contradict each other And neither those Canons nor that Rubrick nor this Book are established by Law After the Communion there are in all Service-Books of 5 6. Edw. 6. seven Rubricks Which number remaineth but the Third is divided into two and the fourth wholly lost In which fourth the Compilers have solidly and excellently declared in what sense they intended Kneeling at the Communion The loss whereof hath occasioned much stumbling and offence yea much trouble and persecution That Rubrick was this Although no Order can be so perfectly devised but it may be of some either for their Ignorance and Infirmity or else of Malice and Obstinacy misconstrued depraved or interpreted in a wrong part yet because brotherly Charity willeth that so much as conveniently may be Offences should be taken away therefore we willing to do the same Whereas it is Ordained in the Book of Common-Prayer in the Administration of the Lords Supper that the Communicants kneeling should receive the Holy Communion which thing being well meant for a signification of the humble and grateful acknowledging of the benefits of Christ given unto the Worthy Receiver and to avoid the profanation and disorder which about the Holy Communion might else ensue Lest yet the same Kneeling might be thought or taken otherwise we do declare that it is not meant thereby that any Adoration is done or ought to be done either unto the Sacramental Bread and Wine there bodily received or unto any real and essential Presence there being of Christs natural flesh and blood For as concerning the Sacramental Bread and Wine they remain still in their very natural Substances and therefore may not be adored for that were Idolatry to be abhorred of all faithful Christians And as concerning the natural Body and Bloud of our Saviour Christ they are in Heaven and not here for it is contrary to the truth of Christs true natural Body to be in moe places than one at one time The Body of the Book it self There is a whole Prayer now left out at the end of the Letany which was extant in the Books of 5.6 Edw. 6. to be used in times of Dearth or Famine which was this O God merciful Father which in the time of Heliseus the Prophet d●dst suddenly turn in Samaria great scarcity and dearth into plenty and cheapness and extream famine into abundance of victual have pity upon us that now be punished for our sins with like adversity Encrease the fruits of the Earth by thy heavenly benediction and grant that we receiving thy bountiful liberality may use the same to thy glory our comfort and relief of our needy Neighbours through Jesu Christ our Lord Amen Moreover there are sundry Prayers some before some in King James his time put into the present Leiturgie as also some things into the Catechism which are not confirmed by Parliament Which Additions although useful being not legally ratified hath imboldened some to make alterations at their pleasure For instance The Prayer for the Queen and Royal Family before the year 1627. began thus Almighty God which hast promised to be a Father of thine elect and of their seed but now thus Almighty God the fountain of all goodness Which change was a great Presumption and may seem to imply an exclusion of the Royal Stem out of the number of Gods Elect. This alteration was first made in the Books appointed to be used about that time at publick Fasts and thence was stollen into the Book of Common Prayer Of which no reason can be discovered unless this that the word Elect distasted the favourers of Popish Arminianism Likewise the reading Psalms now thrust into the Common Prayer Books pretended to be established by Law were no part thereof in 5.6 Edw. 6. or in 1. Eliz. For neither of the Books then printed in Folio for publick use in
