Its magisterial language is, "as a source of spiritual inspiration for most Englishmen second only to the Bible". First issued in 1549 during the reign of Edward VI, it was revised through the reign of Mary I, James II, ending significantly in 1832. Includes a calendar with tables of lessons, the order for morning prayer, evening prayer and important religious dates.'
