Patrimony
We deny to claim "any Superiority to ourself to defyne, decyde, or determyn any Article or Poynt of the Christian Fayth and Relligion, or to chang any Ancient Ceremony of the Church from the Forme before received and observed by the Catholick and Apostolick Church."
They don't say "high" or "catholic"; they seem to prefer liturgical.
Apparently they aren't afraid of vestments, genuflections, elevations, or, even, Franciscan-style devotions such as Stations of the Cross. Or offertory prayers:
Lord God, as we prepare to receive the holy Sacrament, we pray You, bless and sanctify, with the power of Your Holy Spirit, this bread and wine, which you have given us, that through our Lord’s Words they may become His body and blood, the food and drink of eternal life.
Grant that we may receive worthily this sacramental mystery, the New Testament of our Divine Redeemer, for He is the Lamb of God, who gave Himself once and for all, as a holy, immaculate and perfect sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sin and for the life and salvation of the whole world.
