Interesting read. No Epiklesis that I could detect. Was there one in earlier versions?

I am hardly an expert on the evolution of the Book of Common Prayer. There is a web site
justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp which provides links to almost every Prayer Book from Cranmer to the present.
I do know that the inclusion of an Epiklesis was one of the "usages" which John Wesley and the "holy club" of Oxford advocated; although, ironically, Fr. Wesley did not include that in his 1784 "Sunday Service" which he attempted to introduce among American Methodists.
