the Morning and twice in the Evening Service and twice cannot be called often much lesse so often For the Letany Communion Baptism c. they are Offices distinct from Morning and Evening Prayer and it is not fit that any of them should want the Lords Prayer Repl. 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 Letany and once in the Communion Service and once at Baptism which in great Parishes is usually 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 Sect. 5. Gloria Patri Answ. This Doxology being a solemn Confession of the blessed Trinity should not be thought a burden to any Christian Lyturgy especially being so short as it is neither is the repetition of it to be thought a vain repetition more than his mercy endureth for ever so often repeated Psal. 136. we cannot give God too much Glory that being the end of our Creation and should be the end of all our Services Repl. Though we cannot give God too much Glory we may too often repeat a form of words wherein his Name and Glory is mentioned There is great difference between a Psalm of Praise and the praise in our ordinary prayers more liberty of repetition may be taken in Psalms and be an Ornament And there 's difference between that which is unusual in one Psalm of 150 and that which is our daily course of Worship When you have well proved that Christ's prohibition of battologie extendeth not to this Matth. 6. we shall acquiesce Sect. 6. Pag. 15. Rubr. 2. Answ. In such places where they do sing c. The Rubr. directs only such singing as is after the manner of distinct reading and we never heard of any inconvenience thereby and therefore conceive this demand to be needless Repl. It tempteth men to think they should read in a singing tone and to turn reading Scripture into singing hath the inconveniences of turning the edifying simplicity and plainness of God's Service into such affected unnatural strains and tones as is used by the Mimical and Ludicrous or such as feign themselves in Raptures And the highest things such as words and modes that signifie Raptures are most loathsom when forced feigned and hypocritically affected and therefore not fit for Congregations that cannot be supposed to be in such Raptures This we apply also to the sententious mode of Prayers Sect. 7. Benedicite Ans. This Hymn was used all the Church over Conc. Tolet. Can. 13. and therefore should be continued still as well as Te Deum Ruffin Apol. cont Hieron or Veni Creator which they do not object against us as Apocriphal Repl. You much discourage us in these great straits of time to give us such loose and troublesom Citations you turn us to Ruffin Apol. in gross and tell us not which of the Councils of Tollet among at least 13. you mean But we find the words in Council 4. but that Provincial Spanish Council was no meet judge of the Affairs of the universal Church unto the universal Church nor is it certain by their words whether quem refer not to Deum rather than to Hymnum but if you so regard that Council remember that Can. 9. it is but once a day that the Lord's Prayer is injoyned against them that used it but on the Lord's day only and that Can. 17. it is implyed that it was said but once on that day The Benedicite is somewhat more cautelously to be used than humane Compositions that profess to be but humane when the Apocriphal Writings are by the Papists pretended to be Canonical and used so like the Canon in our Church we have the more cause to desire that a sufficient distinction be still made In the Letany Sect 1. Ans. The alterations here desired are so nice as if they that made them were given to change Repl. We bear the Censure but profess that if you will desert the products of Changers and stick to the unchanged Rule delivered by the Holy Ghost we shall joyfully agree with you Let them that prove most given to change from the unchangeable Rule and Example be taken for the hinderers of our Unity and Peace Sect. 2. Ans. From all other deadly sin is better than from all other hainous sin upon the reason here given because the wages ●f sin is death Repl. There is so much mortal poyson in the Popish distinction of mortal and venial sin by which abundance of sins are denied to be sins at all properly but only analogically that the stomack that feareth it is not to be charged with niceness The words here seem to be used by way of distinction and all deadly sin seemeth not to be spoken of all sin and if so your reason from Rom. 6. 23. is vain and ours firm Sect. 3. Ans. From sudden death as good as from dying suddenly which therefore we pray against that we may not be unprepared Repl. We added unprepared as expository or hinting to shew the reason why sudden death is prayed against and so to hint our Prayers to that sudden death which we are unprepared for there being some wayes of sudden death no more to be prayed against than death it self simply considered may When you say from sudden death is as good as from dying suddenly we confess it is but not so good as from dying suddenly and unpreparedly We hope you intend not to make any believe that our turning the Adjective into an Adverb was our Reformation And yet we wondered to hear this made a common jest upon us as from those that had seen our Prayers Would you have had us said from sudden and unprepared death you would then have had more matter of just exception against the words unprepared death than now you have against dying suddenly A man may be well prepared to dye suddenly by Martyrdom for Christ or by War for his Prince and many other wayes Sect. 4. Ans. All that travel as little liable to exception as those that travel and more agreable to the phrase of Scripture 1 Tim. 1. 2. I will that Prayers be made for all men Repl. All universal is to be understood properly as comprehending all the individuals and so it is not an indefinite And we know not that we are bound to pray for Thieves and Pirates and Traitors that travel by Land or Water on such Errands as Faux or the other powder Plotters or the Spanish Armado in 88. or as Parry or any that should travel on the Errand as Clement or Raviliack did to the two King Heneries of France Are these niceties with you Sect. 5. P. 16. Ans. The second Collect. c. We do not find nor do they say
