B04473	A clear confutation of Mr. Richard Allen, and his five commendators, from their own confessions, collected out of the vindication of his essay, and fairly improv'd against them, to the overthrow of their conjoined singing in artificial tunes in gospel-worship. To which is added, an answer to Mr. William Collins's defence from the charge exhibited against him in my book, entituled, The controversie of singing brought to an end, &c.

so_o or_o do_v account_v they_o indifferent_a circumstance_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o use_v they_o in_o his_o church_n as_o accidental_a or_o circumstantial_a part_n of_o a_o common_a civil_a action_n as_o such_o but_o of_o his_o divine_a worship_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o he_o call_v they_o they_o be_v essential_o of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o circumstance_n of_o worship_n but_o what_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o complete_a performance_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v circumstance_n attend_v worship_n that_o be_v not_o of_o worship_n but_o of_o action_n mere_o as_o such_o as_o one_o particular_a fix_a hour_n of_o the_o day_n for_o christian_n to_o meet_v together_o do_v attend_v the_o time_n and_o place_n of_o their_o worship_n but_o one_o particular_a prefix_a hour_n be_v but_o a_o circumstance_n of_o the_o action_n of_o meeting_n as_o such_o and_o so_o no_o essential_a circumstance_n of_o worship_n as_o time_n and_o place_n be_v for_o another_o hour_n may_v

the_o easy_o swallow_v it_o down_o and_o how_o much_o he_o write_v after_o the_o copy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n appear_v from_o the_o follow_a citation_n out_o of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v there_o say_v that_o the_o particular_a form_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n appoint_v to_o be_v use_v therein_o be_v thing_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o alterable_a and_o so_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o upon_o weighty_a and_o important_a consideration_n according_a to_o the_o various_a exigency_n of_o time_n and_o occasion_n such_o change_n and_o alteration_n shall_v be_v make_v therein_o as_o to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o place_n of_o authority_n shall_v from_o time_n to_o time_n seem_v either_o necessary_a or_o expedient_a and_o concern_v their_o ceremony_n that_o have_v have_v their_o beginning_n by_o the_o institution_n of_o man_n it_o be_v there_o further_o say_v that_o those_o that_o remain_v be_v retain_v for_o discipline_n and_o order_n which_o upon_o just_a cause_n may_v be_v alter_v and_o change_v and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v equal_a with_o god_n law_n from_o whence_o i_o observe_v 1._o that_o as_o it_o be_v '_o say_v the_o particular_a form_n of_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v thing_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o alterable_a so_o mr._n allen_n make_v his_o sing_n in_o rhyme_n and_o metre_n and_o by_o artificial_a tune_n but_o indifferent_a thing_n that_o be_v

mr._n allen_n say_v that_o all_o the_o accidental_a mode_n and_o circumstance_n of_o divine_a worship_n must_v be_v order_v suitable_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n thereof_o viz._n say_v he_o so_o as_o may_v be_v most_o for_o order_n and_o edification_n page_n 81._o 3._o as_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v equal_a with_o god_n law_n so_o mr._n allen_n call_v his_o way_n of_o sing_v in_o rhyme_n and_o metre_n and_o by_o artificial_a tune_n with_o conjoin_v voice_n but_o accidental_a mode_n and_o circumstance_n that_o he_o assert_n be_v not_o

common-prayer_n for_o their_o ceremony_n be_v use_v in_o mr._n allen_n essay_n page_n 88_o for_o his_o mode_n of_o sing_v in_o artificial_a tune_n 1_o cor._n 14.40_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v

in_o the_o same_o chapter_n be_v a_o subversion_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 5._o i_o may_v also_o add_v that_o as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v former_o press_v their_o form_n and_o ceremony_n of_o worship_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o indifferent_a thing_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o dissenter_n who_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v be_v make_v to_o swallow_v they_o down_o though_o gild_v over_o with_o their_o term_n so_o though_o mr._n allen_n have_v declare_v against_o impose_v of_o his_o accidental_a mode_n and_o circumstance_n of_o worship_n yet_o he_o and_o his_o companion_n have_v so_o far_o follow_v the_o former_a step_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o to_o press_v their_o mode_n and_o circumstance_n which_o they_o own_o be_v no_o essential_a part_n of_o gospel-worship_n so_o hard_o upon_o our_o church_n as_o to_o occasion_v many_o trouble_n and_o distraction_n among_o we_o so_o that_o mr._n allen_n and_o his_o five_o companion_n agree_v so_o well_o with_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n about_o the_o nature_n of_o humane_a mode_n and_o circumstance_n of_o worship_n that_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v they_o have_v learn_v their_o notion_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n whereby_o they_o be_v infect_v our_o church_n with_o such_o principle_n as_o will_v natural_o lead_v they_o to_o conform_v at_o least_o to_o their_o worship_n seven_o i_o shall_v take_v some_o notice_n of_o what_o mr._n allen_n refer_v we_o to_o in_o page_n 81._o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v show_v the_o
