Qu. Were they extemporary Prayers, or long Liturgies and forms? Answ. If the former, the Pharisees had more of the gift of utterance than Christs Disciples then. But no doubt but they were long Liturgies or Forms; for else they were not suitable to the times or the character of the Pharisees, who were Church-rulers, and all for tradition, and ceremony and outside: And yet Christ blameth not the Forms, or the length, but their hypocrisy, and oppressing cruelty. Only good is fit to cover evil.
