John Knox

The Liturgy of John Knox:

Scotchmen who, being impressed with a sense of regard for the religious history of their country, can fail to look with considerable interest on the series of Confessions, Orders, and Forms which commonly go under the designation of John Knox s Liturgy, but more officially termed the Book of Common Order, printed in part before 15G4, and formally adopted by the Assembly of the Church of Scotland in that year. These formularies were in more or less general use down to the time of the Solemn League and Covenant, when they were superseded by the Confession, Catechism, and Directions, prepared by the Westminster A ssembly. Numerous editions of Knox s Liturgy continued to be printed, chiefly at Edinburgh and A berdeen, till 1643. All of which though, strange to say, are exceeding scarce, and a complete copy of any of the editions very rarely to be met with.
