Some objections being made to this book, a revised edition was sent out four years later, mostly in the form it has persisted in to the present. Possibly next to the Bible the Book of Common Prayer has had most to do in shaping the uses and customs con- nected with the religious life of the Anglo-Saxon race. In this revised edition confession and absolu- tion were left out, as other steps were taken for re- form, but many rites and ceremonies remained. Lit- urgy connected with communion was sim...plified and that sacrament was to be given in both kinds. In baptism the anointing and exorcism were not re- quired, nor prayers for the dead in the burial service. The doctrine of purgatory was discarded. An order making the new liturgy obligatory upon all came out from the court.
