§ 16. Because you lay the main stress of your Cause on History and Experience, you constrain me to add some more History, which I had rather have past by: But if I set not Experience against Experience, I shall leave abundance unto the danger of error, who can judg by little else than Experience, and that see and feel what's present, and forget what is long past and gone.

The Truth I have opened in my Christian Directory, that both ways are liable to great abuse, and all humane actions have their inconveniences. The benefits of a sound Liturgy, are, 1. To keep out Heresy and ill words from public worship. 2. To be a help to men of unready utterance. 3. That the people may know before-hand what they join in.

To keep out Heresie and ill words from publick worship. 2. To be a help to men of unready utterance. 3. That the people may know before-hand what they joyn in.

The tempting of slothful worldly Candidates and Ministers to learn no other way of praying, when this will serve all their worldly turns. But I must add, That this followeth not the imposing of a Liturgy, but the exclusion of other Prayer, and taking up with this alone.
