The order of the administration of the Lord's Supper, or Holy Communion. For the use of the Church of Scotland. Authorised by K. Charles 1. Anno 1636

This double column 20 page booklet was not edited by Bishop Rattray this is a misconception that has been perpetuated by the ESTC but is based on a speculation of Peter Hall in Fragmenta Liturgica Vol 1 General Intorduction page 51-52. It is said top have been printed in 1723 - a years after the first of the 'Wee Bookies' appeared but unlike the 'Wee Bookie' is is not a truncated version of the Scottish Communion Office [which only starts at the Offetory] but is a reprint of the Holy Communion Service as copntained in the 1637 Book of Common Prayer. Rattray would have welcomed the reprint in 1712 but by 1718 he was using the Non jurors Liturgy in his private chapel at Craighall, Perthshire which he felt was vastly superior to the 1637 rite as it cpontained all thye 'Ancient Usages' of the early church.
