The Marriage rite is not to me altogether unfamiliar ground, and the curious may see some attempts that have already been published, in a volume of Ecclesiological Essays brought out by the De La More Press in 1905.ДЇurther, I am greatly encouraged to pursue what I have in hand, because you have yourself called us to return to principlesвЂ‰ and in addressing you I presume that the principles to which you recall us would be Christian. So that it may not be unreasonable on my part, if I venture to ask you to consider the results of such studies as I have made in this matter, results which differ a good deal from those that have just been named. And further you have recommended the article in the Contemporary Review in a most public manner. It is thus fitting that a Liturgical Consultation on the Retention of the word вЂњвЂ‰ObeyвЂ‰вЂќ should be addressed to your Lordship, inasmuch as you have desired information on the subject and also in a measure have countenanced some of the statements that have been madeвЂ‰ at least I have seen no disapproval of the statements published by the Daily Mail.

The headline quoted above shows the temper of the persons who are stirring up this agitation. More noteworthy still is another headlineвЂ‰: вЂњ 500 years old word in the marriage service.вЂ‰вЂќ It is to be hoped that we have words not only 500 years old in the Prayer Book, but 1500 years old, and olderвЂ‰ words directed to be used by the Divine Founder of the Christian Religion, in the prayer of his own commandment, and in the administration of the initial Sacrament of the Christian Society, the Sacrament of BaptismвЂ‰: there are other formulae as well, which we know go back to the earliest years of the Christian Society. The paragraph in which this announcement is made has for one headlineвЂ‰: How вЂњвЂ‰obey вЂќ crept in. The researches initiated by the Bishop of Oxford into the word вЂњвЂ‰obeyвЂ‰вЂќ in the marriage service are now nearly complete.
