Summary
Asking "... is not the present Prayer Book quite as close an approximation to the service used by Bp. Provoost as the one you have set forth? Of course, one can but conjecture. But I should suppose that St. Paul's was at that date very liberally stocked with English P. Books & this w'd lead to the use of the old service when there was so large a congregation."
