Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sufficiency and Defects of the English Communion Office The object which led to the enterprise of this subject was essentially practical. Considerable outcry had been raised against the interpolation into the service by the Celebrant of parts of the Unreformed Office. The outcry interpreted this action as throwing doubt or discredit on the Office of our Church. And this interpretation is justified by the open avowals of many who are addicted to this practice. They allege defect or deficiency in our Office. Others, indeed, without such allegation or conscious admission, defend their interpolations as conducing to greater fulness or richness. The object of this work in part is to attempt to disprove the charges of insufficiency and to show the redundancy of such interpolations. The nature of the interpolations in view has been already defined. There is no reference to any private intercessions or devotions of the Celebrant, but to the direct interpolation of portions of other Offices.
