Some remarks, on a pretended answer, to a discourse concerning the Common-Prayer worship. With…

One Remark more. The Answerer without reason accuses the Discourse, of Trivial, Unintelligible, Dirty Reflections. Good words, I pray, Sir, if it be as you say; Turpe est Doctoré, •um culpa re•arguit ipsum. But the Discourser is not Conscious to himself of any such Reflections. If there had been any such, his Antagonist would not have spared to mention them; which he does not, because he could not. I have omitted to take notice, that the Answerer, pag. 21. Reflects on the Author of the Discourse, as a man without any Care or Conscience. Which whether he is such an one, they that know him best, and among whom he has been Preaching the Gospel for some Scores of Years, are best able to judge. And I have omitted, that the Answerer Chargeth him with gross Ignorance, and something worse; because he affirms, that Day, the Bishop of Chichester, a dissembling Hypocrite was one concerned in Compiling the Liturgy. That Day, was one of the Compilers, is related by Dr. Fuller in his Church History, Book. 7. p. 386. That he was a dissembling Hypocrite, the Answerer don't deny; nor, I suppose, will any one else, when he reads the account that Fuller; and others have given of him. I omit also, that the Answerer unjustly Complains of the Discourse, for affirming that ⟨p. 9⟩the Preface to the Common-Prayer Book declares, that nothing is appointed to be read but the Pure Word of God, or that which is evidently grounded on the same. He says the words are not so. But I maintain that those are the very words in the Old Edition of the Liturgy; and it was such an one that the Discourser then had by him.
