Présentation de l'éditeur
While you stick to the old Church of England ways you are respect able it is going by a sort of tradition ;when you profess to return to lost Church of England ways you are rational; but when you invent a new ceremonial which never was, when you copy the Roman or other foreign rituals, you are neither respectable nor rational. It is sectarian. J. H. Newman to Henry Wilberforce. Life of J. H. Cardinal Newman, by W. Ward. 1912. I. 235. A fAHE English Use is a convenient title to express -what is aimed at by those who desire loyally to follow the directions given or implied by our Church in the Prayer Book in respect of Church Ornaments and Cere monial. It will scarcely be denied that the Church of England has a right to a ceremonial law of its own, and beyond question the Prayer Book contains at least a certain number of explicit directions. The upholders ofT he English Use, then, desire to take for their guiding principle the appeal to authority, and to set aside any personal preference for this system or that, whether in whole or in part. It might have been expected that this would be accepted as a matter of course, but in practice it has not been so.
