For the Christian Church:
1. Can Mr. Falkner give us an account infallibly of the practises of all the Churches after Christ for the first four Centuries? are the Infallible records of them all come to our hands? I thought we fell short abundantly of the records of all the Churches, there might be many for ought he knows that used no Forms.
2ly. It is possible that he may find several Pastors, or Bishops that did compose their own Forms. But,
First, Can he prove they used only those Forms, and did vary at no time? as was the practise of several of our old Divines, that had their Forms of Prayer before Sermon, (but of their own composing) and varied after Sermon according to the subject matter they had been Preaching upon. So did improve that gift they had received from Christ before and after Sermon.
