Accepted by the House of Commons a few days later, and to be used in all
churches from Whit Sunday (9 June) that same year.
Half a century older than the King James Bible, and has more than its
share of memorable phrases.

(Concise Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, 1964:
Bible - 15 pages
Book of Common Prayer - 8 pages (from a much shorter book)
Shakespeare - 30 pages)

moveable feasts
when two or three are gathered together
the world, the flesh and the devil
bounden duty
the peace of God which passeth all understanding
etc etc etc
