The favourable manner in which the First Volume of the Liturgy compared with the Bible has been received, and the request of several respected Individuals that the Compiler would complete the Work, have induced him to offer the Second to the Public.

The Identification of the Liturgy of the Church of England with the Holy Scriptures might, probably, have been rendered more apparent, had the Work been undertaken by an abler hand. Yet as several persons have expressed the satisfaction they have received from the First Volume, and as the same kind clerical friend who revised that portion of the Compilation has given his valuable aid in examining and arranging the Present Volume, the Writer trusts that candid minds will not rise unedified from its perusal. He also hopes that the devout worshipper will thereby be assisted to use, yet more spiritually than he has been accustomed, those occasional Services of our Scriptural Church, in which it may be his duty and his privilege to join.

It is too apparent that these Services are seldom regarded as acts of Divine Worship; or that the celebration of them is attended with a view of reaping spiritual advantage from their use. Yet as our "Church is a witness and a keeper of Holy Writ," and as so large a portion of God's Word is embodied in each of her Offices, we seem authorized to believe that much personal benefit would accrue to those, who with due preparation of mind, should seek and expect in them a blessing from the Lord, the God of Israel.
