The Anglican Book of Common Prayer had (has?) smaller type 
explanatory sentences printed in red which elucidated the actions of 
the priest.
In interesting, controversial 'Black Rubric' once 'explained' to the 
congregation that no cannibalism was actually taking place during 
Communion. It was in black type since it was directed at the 
congregants rather than the priest. But was referred to as a 'rubric' 
since it still fit the mold of being explanatory in nature.
