1. The recorded Liturgies of the several Sects of Christians in the World (in the Biblioth. Patrum, and elsewhere) show it evidently, that they are all far faultier than ours. All the Abassines, Coptics, Jacobites, Nestorians, Melchites, Maronites, the Armenians, Georgians, Circassians, Meugrelians, the Greeks, and Muscovites, have Liturgies far worse than ours: Let them that doubt of it, go to the Greek-Church in Soho-Fields. The Nestorian Liturgy is one of the soundest and best that I find recorded (which intimateth that they are not so bad as some make them.) The Papists Mass, I think we are agreed is far worse. And the Lutheran Protestants Images, Ceremonies, Consubstantiation, show that theirs is no better than ours.

2. And that their Ministers and People in all these Sects are worse than our Parishes, alas we must confess with grief.

Qu. But would you Communicate with all these?
