Sect. 16.
[That there were ancient Liturgies in the Church,1 is evident, St. Chrysostom's, St. Basil's, and others: And the Greeks tell us of St. James, much elder than they; and though we find not in all Ages whole Liturgies, yet it is certain that there were such in the eldest times, by those parts which are extant, as Sursum Corda, &c. Gloria Patri, Benedicite, Hymnus Cherubinus, &c. Vere dignum & justum, &c. Dominus vobiscum, & cum Spiritu tuo, with divers others. Though •hose that are extant may be interpolated, yet such things as are found in them, all consentient to Catholic primitive Doctrine, may well be presumed to have been from the first, especially since we find no Original of these Liturgies from General Councils.]
