Jasper, R.C.D. & Cuming, G.J. (1990). "Ch. 40: The Nonjurors' Liturgy 1718." (pp. 290-297). In Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and Reformed. 3rd Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Collegeville, MN: The Liturgical Press. (Personal Library)
Jasper and Cuming identify the Nonjurors as "those who refused to take the oath of allegiance to King William and Queen Mary in 1689 and in consequence were deprived of their livings or offices in the Church of England" (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 290). Many used the 1662 Prayer Book. Others had strong objections, many with a preference for the 1549 Prayer Book. In 1716, debate broke out regarding what changes might be appropriate.
These debates led to the publication in 1718 of The Nonjurors' Liturgy (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 290). The work combined elements from the 1662 and 1549 prayer books, as well as material adapted from Apostolic Constitutions book 8, as well as the rites of St. Basil and St. James (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 291).
After a bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 291), Jasper and Cuming provide the eucharistic portions of the liturgy.
