Secondly, He must prove they Imposed these Forms of theirs upon other Ministers able to officiate without them, and tied them up to these syllables, else he misses the question, and his labour is but lost there too. Neither of these hath Mr. Falkner proved.

The 23 Canon of the third Council of Carthage, which some write was Anno 395, others 397, others 399, at which were 44 Bishops, and good Austin amongst them, thus ordered:
No man shall use those Forms of Prayer which he hath composed for himself, till he hath communicated them to more able Brethren. A Canon of a Council carries very much conviction with it! what was the practise there abouts, more than any thing Mr. Falkner hath produced? By this it appears that the more able Brethren did not first Compose the Prayers of those who were less able. 2ly. Much less did they Impose them on those who were able, and it may be more able than themselves. Mr. Car wrote more warily than Mr. Falkner, who dares not venture beyond twelve hundred years. This Canon interprets Tertullian's meaning to be against Forms, better then Mr. Falkner.
