Excerpt from A Brief Directory of Elementary Ritual: Chiefly Eucharistic
The question then arises; How is this reverence to be expressed? Is each individual priest to be a law to him self, and to follow the promptings of his own disere tion, (or indiscretion,) as to the way in which he will express reverence?
The Church by requiring the use Of a liturgy, of a fixed pre-composed form Of devotion, for the words to be employed in regular public worship, has indicated the principle that should guide us in seeking an answer to the just-proposed questions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, provides a thorough manual on the principles of reverence and godly fear which ought to characterize the approach of the creature to the Creator. This book can be seen as one of a series of High Church Anglican attempts to incorporate Catholic Church reverence, manual acts, and ceremony into the Anglican tradition. The author distills the essence of the continental Catholic tradition of reverent gestures and acts employed in Divine Service, hoping it may enrich the slender directions of the Prayer Book rubrics and elevate Anglican Services. The author draws on the authority of the XXXth Canon of 1604 to justify his recommendations for conformity with the customs of the great continental Churches in matters of ceremony. The book has a thoroughly practical approach and avoids intricate antiquarian considerations, resulting in a straightforward guide to making acts of public worship honourable and impressive.
