Excerpt from Parish Lectures on the Prayer-Book
As the baptismal formula was the germ of the apostles' creed, so the words of insti tution, in the celebration of the Holy Com munion, constituted the nucleus of the liturgies of the early church. Around that central act of worship all other devotions gathered, and for its due Observance the prayers and the psalms, the scriptures and the sermon, were but the preparation.
