Reply. We may better say, we are required to use it six times every morning than but twice, for it is twice in the Common morning prayer, and once in the Litany, & once in the Communion service, & once at Baptism, ⟨p. 120⟩(which in great Parishes is usual every day) and once to be used by the Preacher in the Pulpit. And if you call these distinct offices, that maketh not the Lords Prayer the seldomer used: sure we are, the Apostles thought it fit that many of their prayers should be without the Lords Prayer.
