A54945 A discourse of prayer wherein this great duty is stated, so as to oppose some principles and practices of Papists and fanaticks; as they are contrary to the publick forms of the Church of England, established by her ecclesiastical canons, and confirmed by acts of Parliament. By Thomas Pittis, D.D. one of His Majesties chaplains in ordinary. Wherefore, that way and profession in religion, which gives the best directions for it, (viz. prayer) with the most effectual motives to it, and most aboundeth in its observance, hath therein the advantage of all others. Dr. Owen in his preface to his late discourse of the work of the Holy SPirit in prayer, &c. Pittis, Thomas, 1636-1687. 1683 (1683) Wing P2314; ESTC R220541 149,431 404

that_o transubstantiation_n be_v false_a viz._n that_o it_o be_v true_a to_o they_o because_o they_o believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o although_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n will_v be_v idolatry_n in_o another_o of_o a_o contrary_a persuasion_n yet_o they_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o such_o a_o crime_n because_o they_o worship_v not_o the_o bread_n which_o they_o believe_v upon_o the_o word_n

with_o idolatry_n according_a to_o the_o probable_a opinion_n of_o the_o jesuit_n but_o what_o have_v we_o dull_a protestant_n to_o do_v with_o this_o or_o their_o doctrine_n of_o probability_n by_o
