Of the Liturgy.
§ 1. Mr. Baxter in the 2d. page of his exceptions against the Liturgy, urged an Objection of Mr. Hales in these Words. To load our Public Forms with Private Fancies on which we differ, is the most sovereign way to perpetuate Schism, See also, p. 48. The Bishops gave this Answer to the Objection; We heartily desire that according to this Proposal, great care may be taken to suppress private Conceptions of Prayer, lest private Opinions be made matter of Prayer, as it hath, and will be, if private Persons take liberty to make public Prayers. To this I agreed, p. 201. Cure of Divisions, in these words; Every Separatist, Anabaptist, Antinomian, doth too willingly put his Errors into his Prayers: The Sense of which Mr. Bagshaw thus expounds. p. 7. Of his Antidote, by mentioning of Separatists, as a distinct body of Men from the Antinomian, Anabaptists, &c. It is evident he can mean no other but his Presbyterian and Congregational-Brethren.
