Copyright Notice
The Genevan Book of Order was first published in English under the title of The
Form of Prayers and Ministration of the Sacraments, etc., Used in the English
Congregation at Geneva; and Approved by the Famous and Godly Learned Man, John Calvin. The text of the present edition is based primarily
upon the published edition in The Works of John Knox, edited by David Laing (Edinburgh:James Thin, 1895),
vol. 4, pp. 141-214. The present publisher has edited the text to reflect
contemporary spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Bracketed words are supplied
where needed to complete the sense of a sentence. Bracked words in
italics are inserted following some
antiquated terms or phrases, as a convenience for the modern reader.
