ii., chap. viii. ' The names of the commissioners are not known ; the Privy Council Register (1547-5°. P- 379) mentions their appointment but not their names. 1552] Second Book of Common Prayer 265 provide for the ordination of " other ministers " — i. e., ostiaries, lectors, exorcists, acolytes, and sub- deacons — below the rank of deacon ; and their form- ulary swept away a vast mass of gorgeous ritual centained in the old Pontificals. It was a long step in the direction of simplicity, " but ...all that was ne- cessary to convey the clerical character was never- theless preserved " ' ; and like every other measure that Cranmer took it excited the displeasure of the extremists.
