Excerpt from Private Prayers, Put Forth by Authority During the Reign of Queen Elizabeth: The Primer of 1559, the Orarium of 1560, the Preces Privat of 1564, the Book of Christian Prayers of 1578; With an Appendix, Containing the Litany of 1544 From this period we perceive a very great improvement in the English Primer, as to its doctrinal tone; so that, when again published in 1551 (british Museum), it contained nei ther the angelic salutation, 'hail, Mary, full of grace, ' 8m. With various passages, indicative of an unabated reverence for the Virgin, nor some of the other objectionable things, which appeared in the Prim0r of 1545. In fact, great modi fications then took place, strong as many of the doctrinal state ments are. Which were still permitted for a time to remain. As regards the angelic salutation, and its retention in 1547 and 1549, it seems right to extract a passage from Marshall's Primer (university Library, Cambridge, G. 3. 'here thou seist that in these wordes no petition, but pure praysee and honours are oonteyned: lyke as in the begynnyng and fyrste wordes of the Paternoster is no petition, bnt onely mm, and declarynge of the godly fanour and maiestie, that he is our father. And in heuen. Therfore we can not call this salutation a petition, or any prayer, properly and strayghtly to speake therof, bicause it is not lautall for vs to exponnde these wordes further than they sounde, and than the holy ghoste dyd make them.' Moreover, it will not be amiss to quote from that treatise, which Ludovicus Lava terus published at Zurich in the beginning of 1559, entitled De ritibue et 11t acclaim Trgurince. Under the head Sacra condom ct preoes occurs this passage - Salntatio angelica ad cartum nsqne tempns ah initio recitata fnit. Sod, oblata occasions, et postulante necessitate, cospit praetermitti cum non sit oratio. Et a mnltis in abusam trahatnr. Satis autem constat melioribns illis temporibus.
