Excerpt from Bicentenary Sermons: Two Sermons on the History and Scriptural Authority of the Book of Common Prayer; Preached in St. Matthew's Free Chapel, Quebec, on St. Bartholomew's Day, 1862 When Augustine came to preach the Gospel to them, he found to his surprise a Christian Church already there, in the mountains Of Wales, with a Liturgy Of its own. He, of course, brought with him the Roman Liturgy, but it could not, and did not entirely supplant the Old English Prayer Book, though, no doubt, some Of its rites were adopted. Then, when the Normans, at a later day, conquered England, they brought their own Prayer Book with them, and grafted on the English Litur gies some Of their own peculiar usages. And so it came to pass that in England, just before the Reformation, there were, as we read in the Pre face* to our Prayer Book, many Liturgies used, one in one Diocese, and another in another, - such as the Salisbury Liturgy, the Hereford, the Bangor, the Lincoln, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
