The Church Quarterly Review For April July 1882 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Church Quarterly Review, Vol. 54: For April, 1902 July, 1902 In our last article we discussed the question of the custom of acclaiming the king at the act of coronation. We will just mention the matter here in passing, because it is in Sancroft's recension of the service that the custom appears for the first time in the rubrics. It is most probable that it is an innovation. Evelyn, who gives a very good account of the coronation of Charles II., mentions only the music. By this he presumably alludes to the singing of the anthem, The king shall rejoice, ' which followed the reading of Con fortore by the archbishop. At the same time it is well to remember that arguments from the silence of eye-witnesses must be accepted with caution but the silence of the rubrics, coupled with Evelyn's, suggests that there was no acclama tion at the crowning of Charles II.
