Note 340 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
In a paper dated November 2nd, 1652 (printed in Jacobson's Edition of Sanderson's Works), he describes fully his mode of procedure; and the sort of verbal alterations he made in the forms of Common Prayer may be seen in his "Confession," given by Walton (Lives, 394). Thorndike observes: "I cannot approve it upon this score that (besides his prayer before sermon, which custom and former practice if not the canon itself, allowed as lawful) he hath several parts of service of his own making; and, though mostly formed out of the Common Prayer Book, yet certainly varied from thence, and so directly against the negative command which prescribes this and no other."—Letter in the Bodleian Library, printed in Thorndike's Works, vi. 117.
