Excerpt from Hints Towards Peace in Ceremonial Matters The general conclusion at which a dispassionate man must arrive is that, irrespective of specific rites or ornaments, the ceremonial law of the Church of England - as on the one hand a body whose continuous corporate existence ranges over nearly thirteen hundred years, and on the other a Reformed Church, the principles of whose Befor mation have to be gathered out of statutes, rubrics, canons, articles, proclamations, advertisements, visitation articles, dating from 1547 to 1662 - is far from being a simple question. Another conclusion which may be safely entertained is, that it is beginning at the wrong end to simplify eccle siastical proceedings till the mos or lea which has to be administered is rather more clearly defined. The process of court-making might otherwise be represented as one for forcing rather than working out a ceremonial system.
