Under Canon B 4 it is open to each bishop to authorize, if he sees fit, the form of service to be used within his diocese. He may specify that the services shall be those commended by the House, or that a diocesan form of them shall be used. If the bishop gives no directions in this matter the priest remains free, subject to the terms of Canon B 5, to make use of the material as commended by the House.
¶ Use of the remaining material in this book falls within the discretion allowed to the minister under Canon B 5 and by the rubrics and notes in authorized forms of service.
