Howe knowe you that S. Luke doth not expresse the whole prafers at large, but onely set down the sums of thē & their chief points? What scripture haue you that teacheth you so to think? & if this be a sufficient answere to say, the scripture hath not expressed the whole. &c.
Why is it not also a sufficient answere for me to that which foloweth, that the scrip∣ture hath not expressed any certaine, or determinate forme of publike prayer to be vsed in all Churches (as in déede it hath not) but onely in the Lordes prayer giuen certaine generall poynts, according to the whiche all our prayers must be framed? Surely your fansie is strong, but your arguments be excéeding weake. For tell mée I pray you, where haue you in the whole newe testament (the Lordes prayer onely excepted) any forme of publike prayer vsed in the Church described? If you cannot shewe this, why do you so childishly dallie?
The scripture hath not pre∣scribed any forme of pub∣like prayer▪
