Excerpt from The English Liturgies of 1549 and 1661: Compared With Each Other and With the Ancient Liturgies Any account Of the development Of the liturgy must begin with a notice Of the records Of the Institution of the sacred rite as we have them from the Evangelists and St. Paul. The first Epistle Of St. Paul to the Corinthians, written about the year 57, has been commonly regarded as the earliest Of these authorities. But recent criticism tends to show that St. Mark's Gospel, certainly in its original Aramaic form and probably also in the Greek form in which we possess it, is Of still earlier date;1 and in any case we have in St. Mark the account which he received from St. Peter himself. St. Matthew, whose authorship Of the first Gospel is now accepted much more generally than it formerly was, bases his account upon St. Mark, but introduces further points, as might be expected from an eye-witness. St. Luke, too, makes use Of St. Mark's account; and he has also points Of close agreement with St. Paul's, but it is uncertain which has been influenced by the other.2 St. John, while he omits what the others have told us, gives a very full account Of further details Of the Institution, covering five chapters (xiii.
