The most exhaustive look from a Puritan perspective is most certainly George Gillespie's "English Popish Ceremonies".
Probably lots to suggest. These come to mind.
John Owen Concerning Liturgies. Discourse Concerning Liturgies, and their Imposition - Christian Classics Ethereal Library
William Ames, A fresh suit against human ceremonies in God's vvorship. Or a triplication unto. D. Burgesse his rejoinder for D. Morton The first part., Also Google Books.
Samuel Rutherford, Divine Right of church-government and excommunication: or a peacable dispute for the perfection of the holy scripture in point of ceremonies and church government, http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=eebo;idno=A92138.0001.001, also GB.
As Ben noted, the most famous and of the most historical significance to Presbyterians is George Gillespie's, Dispute Against the English Popish Ceremonies. See PRDL listings for online old editions. A new crtical edition published in 2013 is available from Naphtali Press for 29.95 post paid (USA).

Thank you. I've asked this question because I am attending a URCNA church now. They honor Liturgical calendar, to some extent. My denominational background is OPC, and it is more than just OPC - I've come to accept and believe many of their teachings. So no I have a bit of a problem.
