	Concerning the Book of Common Prayer
		That is prayer, which comes fresh from the Spirit; and that is a true desire, which the Spirit begets; but the affections and sparks of man's kindling please not the Lord, nor do they conduce to the soul's rest, but will end in the bed of sorrow.
		Now as touching the Book of Common Prayer, or prayers conceived without the immediate breathings of the Spirit, I shall <108> speak mine own experience faithfully, which is this; I have felt both these ways draw out the wrong part, and keep that alive in me, which the true prayer kills.
		Now if the prayer be in words, (for there is a praying without words) then it must be in those words which he pleaseth to give, from the sense which he kindleth, and not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, or would choose to use.

		Had all these rites of the 1979 Book been truly “alternative services,” then in evaluating and judging them, one could have looked for their positive contribution and read them not as replacements for what is in the BCP, but as true options for use some of the time.

		There is the definite tendency to lose the centripetal and unifying power of the historic Common Prayer and to establish and confirm the centrifugal and disjointed forces of variety and relativism (so common in modern culture).

	THE PRAYER BOOK
		It is one of the best explanations available of why the Prayer Book is so important to traditional churches, and how it is simultaneously both the focal point of our worship and an expression of our beliefs.
		The Prayer Book, by contrast, requires us to approach the "whole" Bible, to search out the "mind of the Bible" by means of a lectionary, which is to say a table of daily readings which insures that the entire Bible forms our beliefs.
		With the Prayer Book there can be no bringing God down to the level of pop culture, as is the case with so many contemporary churches.
