A discourse concerning liturgies

Finally, it cannot with any reason be supposed, but, if there had been such Liturgies, they would have been made use of against the Errors, and for deciding the Controversies, wherewith the Church was exercised in the Ages we are concerned in. To wave others, there were two especially as to which they might have been this way apparently serviceable; viz. That concerning the Godhead of Christ, opposed in the first, second, third and fourth Age especially. And that concerning the [Greek or Hebrew] of the faithful; and other errors, with which Pelagius and his adherents troubled the Churches in the beginning of the fifth Age, and afterwards. His Tenet see August. contr. 2 ep. Pelag. l. 4. c. 2. p. 239.
