    Dearly beloved...

    The Hackney Hub might specially like this, but here is an interesting book from 1720 concerning the entire BCP and the author's appraisal of its conformity to ancient worship.

    A very fascinating approximation of an ancient church is illustrated in the first few pages! Note the order of penitents, progressively nearing the nave as they progress in their penance.
