A discourse concerning liturgies

In that, ascribed to him, the forgery is more impudent. He having declared his high approbation of the Ancients practice, in not committing any such thing to Writing; and upon such reasons, as obliged himself, as much as any, not to run counter to them herein. He, with them, thought the [Greek or Hebrew], the reverence due to these mysteries ⟨p. 75⟩hereby secured; and another course the way to render them despicable, [Greek or Hebrew]; as is evident by his discourse, in the place alleged; [Greek or Hebrew].
