Publisher's Synopsis
The First Book of Common Prayer of Edward VI and the Ordinal of 1549, along with the Order of the Communion from 1548, is a historical text compiled by Henry Baskerville Walton and published in 1870. This book contains the original texts of the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal, which were used in the Anglican Church during the reign of King Edward VI in the mid-16th century. These texts were significant in the development of the Church of England and the establishment of its liturgical practices. The Order of the Communion was a precursor to the Communion service found in the Book of Common Prayer. This book provides a valuable resource for scholars of Anglican history and liturgy, as well as anyone interested in the evolution of religious practices in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
