1684 Rationale on English Book of Common Prayer Anglican Church England Sparrow

 

A rare Anglican treatise by Anthony Sparrow, a 17^th-century English priest. He was persecuted for owning and using the outlawed ‘Book of Common Prayer’, and was not reinstated as a priest until the Restoration of the church. This work, “A Rationale on the Book of Common Prayer,” was Sparrow’s caution and warning to his diocese against false doctrine. He spoke on communion, the acts of the saints, important feast days and holy days, and on liturgical texts and prayers.
