Synopsis

The Book Of Private Devotions: Containing A Collection Of The Mort Valuable Early Devotions Of The Reformers And Their Successors In The English Church by E. Bickersteth. This 1839 edition, edited by the Rev. E. Bickersteth, gathers private prayers and devotions from English Reformers and early Anglican writers, including Edward VI’s Primer, Cranmer, Becon, Kenn, Andrews, Bradford, Nowell, and others. It presents a comprehensive program for private devotion, with sections on daily prayers, prayers for each day of the week, preparations for and thanksgiving after the Lord’s Supper, and meditations on grace, mercy, last judgment, and salvation. Doctrinal elements such as the Apostles’ Creed and the Ten Commandments are woven into devotional forms, alongside liturgical language and scriptural citations. The collection emphasizes repentance, intercession for church and nation, humility, and steadfast faith, and uses editorial notes, calendars, and usage guidance to aid lay readers. Intended for devout Anglicans, especially educated audiences and Winchester College students, it serves as a structured repository of classic private devotions from the Reformers and their successors for daily discipline and spiritual growth.
