Some Thoughts from the Ordinal

B. F. Westcott compiles the substance of several addresses given to candidates for ordination. He meditates on different parts of the Ordinal, noting that it is his “wish to offer in these short addresses some suggestions for the guidance of our thoughts on the subject which fills our minds now, the confessions and exhortations and promises of the Ordination Service, our promises and the promises of God, which it includes.”
