A33979	A supplement to a little book entituled, A reasonable account why some pious nonconforming ministers cannot judg it lawful for them to perform their ministerial acts in publick solemn prayer, ordinarily, by the prescribed forms of others : wherein is examined whatsoever Mr. Falconer in his book called, Libertas ecclesiastica, and Mr. Pelling in a book called, The good old way, have said to prove the ancient use of forms of prayers by ministers : and it is proved, that neither of the two aforementioned authors have said anything that proveth the general use, or imposition of such forms of prayer in any considerable part of the church, till Pope Gregories time, which was six hundred years after Christ, nor in any church since the reformation, except that of England, and (which is uncertain) some in Saxony.	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.; Falkner, William, d. 1682. Libertas ecclesiastica.; Pelling, Edward, d. 1718. Good old way.	1680 (1680)	Wing C5343; ESTC R18940	53,644	120

to_o doctrine_n 1200_o and_o more_o as_o to_o some_o matter_n of_o rite_n and_o government_n 3._o the_o reform_a period_n of_o it_o which_o be_v from_o the_o year_n 1516_o and_o be_v yet_o go_v on_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o period_n we_o have_v not_o so_o full_a and_o clear_a a_o evidence_n of_o what_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o can_v desire_v for_o though_o it_o be_v after_o the_o year_n 600_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n get_v the_o title_n of_o universal_a bishop_n and_o some_o year_n after_o that_o before_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v furnish_v

and_o ignorant_a as_o to_o the_o generality_n of_o their_o minister_n they_o make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o put_v out_o and_o put_v in_o to_o the_o write_n of_o the_o ancient_n what_o they_o
