Excerpt from The Principles of Divine Service, Vol. 2: An Enquiry Concerning the True Manner of Understanding and Using the Order for Morning and Evening Prayer, and for the Administration of the Holy Communion in the English Church; Holy Communion Such an Ordinance as this, - challenging such a po sitiou, - claiming, and known to claim, such powers, could never fail at any period to command the atten tion, if not the reverence, of thoughtful humanity. Drawing towards it the longing vision, and engaging, in measure or excess, the faith and affections of some ages and minds awakening the jealous scrutiny, and experiencing the colder construction, or the eager Opposition, of others; it would be likely to give rise, in ample measure, to the recorded feelings and judg ments of mankind concerning it. Nor, accordingly, have successive ages Of the Church been wanting in abundant records of this kind. The literature of the Eucharist, so to call it, possesses all that variety and extent which might beforehand have been expected.
