A discourse concerning liturgies

And if the Apostles did not enjoin the use of their supposed Liturgies, nor would impose them on any, Why are they not imitated herein? Why, having less Authority, (to say nothing of Wisdom) do our Liturgists take more upon them, than the Apostles would do, in imposing on those, whom they thought best to leave free; and imperiously prescribing their own weak inventions, or others, weaker and worse than their own, when the Apostles, Divinely Inspired, did not so much as advise the use of their supposed Forms?

Let us then leave them to those who can believe them, which I shall wonder if any can, but those who have a Faith at Command, (when it will serve a turn) wide enough to swallow a Jacobus de Voragine without mincing.
