A sober and temperate discourse, concerning the interest of words in prayer. The just antiquity and pedigree of liturgies, or forms of prayer in churches: with a view of the state of the church, when they were first composed, or imposed. Together with a discovery of the weakness of the grounds upon which they were first brought in, or upon which Bishop Gawden hath lately discoursed, the necessity of a liturgy, or the inconveniency of altering the English liturgie, the utility of church musick, and the lawfulness of ceremonies: in which are mixed reasons justifyin those godly Ministers, who forbear the use of the Common-Prayer, against the late out-cries of the said Bishop.
