Psalm-singing and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer

1. As a regular user of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, recognizing a few faults therewith, we find it most wholesome, useful, godly, pious, and reformatory.

2. We believe that the recovery of the singing of the Psalms for Mattins and Evensong, daily, is most imperative. We cannot recommend too highly the Psalter-set, pricey though it be, from St. Paul's Protestant (Anglican) Cathedral, London. We speak from "experience" with the Psalms--powerful!

3. This is not to minimize the OT or NT lections, although the lectionary needs revision to put out the readings from the Apocrypha.
