And if he had celebrated it in a set form, could he have been to seek for the words he used so often? since if either his Memory, or the Prayer-Book ⟨p. 65⟩would have helped him; and one of them would have helped him to the precise words, if they had then confined themselves to any, and had had their Prayers either by heart or in a book; he would never have writ so doubtfully of them, when his business was to satisfy a captious Adversary.

Would there be any need, for one who has the prayer for all states by heart, or has the Service-Book before him, to express by a distinction, what is there desired for Bishops, Pastors and Curates? No more would Epiphanius, if the same mode of praying had been then in use.
