Interspersed with proper observations, and answers to several popular objections not consider'd by other writers. To which is prefix'd, an introduction, demonstrating the lawfulness and expediency of precomposed forms of prayer; in answer to a pamphlet, intitled, Plain reasons for dissenting from the Church of England, so far as relates to this subject.
