Book of Common Prayer 1662

Trying to understand why the statement that the "expression of worship" was through the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and "eyes and hearts firmly rooted in Anglican Catholic mission", quoted in the "Needs" request from Belchamp Walter to the Church of England I came up with this:

At first I thought that BCP (1662) was an attempt to preserve some of the "oldy-worldy" language from the 17th Century, but I think that there is more too it than just the usage of words that "modern" people use. In the same manner that making things "more accessable" by changing the words it does not change the meaning.

King James Bible - 1611

I am presuming that this was the basis of the 1662 version.

James I was an "Anglican" (roughly in today's terms), he did not restore England to Catholisism when he succeeded in 1603. It was hoped that he would and Guy Fawkes was not impressed.
