Sealed Books

Sealed Books, certain printed copies of the revised Anglican Prayer-book, as settled at the Savoy Conference, issued A.D. 1662, which, having been examined by the commissioners appointed for that purpose, were certified by them to be correct. They were ordered by Parliament to be preserved in certain cathedral and collegiate churches. A folio reprint of the Sealed Book was issued by Piekering (1844), and again by Masters ](1848, 8vo).
