This volume presents ⿿The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church⿝ as it was amended by the Presbyterian divines in the Royal Commission of 1661. Detailing the efforts of the Presbyterian divines to revise the Book of Common Prayer, this work provides insight into a pivotal moment in the history of the Church of England and the broader landscape of 17th-century religious reform. It offers a unique perspective on the theological and liturgical debates of the time.

Edited by Charles W. Shields, this edition offers a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the historical development of Anglican liturgy and the complexities of religious dialogue in post-Reformation England. It showcases the attempt to reconcile differing religious viewpoints within a shared framework of worship and practice.
