I should be rejoiced to hope, that this work may seem to approve itself to your Lordship's judgment, as answering in some degree, though imperfectly, the end at which I have aimed; namely, the illustration of our Common Prayer Book from ancient documents, and its original sources. I pray that it may please God, long to bless your Lordship with every spiritual and good gift and I am, with feelings of deep respect and attachment, My Lord, Your most faithful and obliged servant, WILLIAM MASKELL.
