O knihe

Excerpt from The Pictorial Edition of the Book of Common Prayer: According to the Use of the United Church of England and Ireland; Together With the Form and Manner of Making, Ordaining, and Consecrating of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons

The first step made towards this great and important design was the appointment of a committee by the Convocation which met in 1587. This committee was chosen for the express purpose of instituting an inquiry into the means afforded for the spiritual instruction of the people. From the character and learning of the members of the committee, there can be little doubt, that they foresaw much more was to be done than it would be right to attempt at the beginning of their labours. But it was the happy feature of the proceedings of the early Reformers that, zealous as they were, and abounding in knowledge, they were contented to act with the caution of men who wished rather to foster the rising spirit of intelligence than to force the population to acknowledge what it might not comprehend.
