The Directorium Anglicanum: Being a Manual of Directions for the Right Celebration of the Holy Communion According to the Ancient Uses of the Church of England (Classic Reprint)

Extract from a Chavge delivered to the Clergy of New Zealand September 23, 1847 By George A ugustus, Lord Bishop of New Zealand (now Bishop of Lichfield). London: Rivingtons, 1849. The care of sacred things is not an idolatry of inanimate matter, but a recognition of the unseen God, to whose service they have been dedicated. It has been deemed worthy of record in the Gospel that Christ, when He had ended Hi3 reading, closed the hook, and delivered it to the minister, to be, no doubt, deposited in the proper place, to be preserved from injury and desecration. No event ever happened on earth more awful than the Resurrection, yet it was a work not unworthy of the care of the angels, even at that solemn season, to lay the linen clothes by themselves, and to wrap together the napkin that was about the head in a place by itself.
