medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A relevant article appears in the July 2002 JEH: Andrew Lacey, 'The Office
for Charles the Martyr in the Book of Common Prayer 1662-1685'.
He notes that the following collect, taken from Duppa's unoffical 1661
liturgy, was proposed for the office commemorating Charles but not included
by Convocation in the final version:
'We beseech thee to give us grace to remember and provide for our latter
end, by a careful and studious imitation of this thy blessed saint and
martyr, and all other thy saints and martyrs that have gone before us, that
we may be made worthy to receive benefits by their prayers, which they in
communion with thy Church Catholic offer up unto thee for that part of it
here militant and yet in fight with and danger from the flesh'.
Best wishes,
Jacob Knee
