Mouse-like squeak and nibble.

  7. (’Lord have mercy upon us:  Christ have mercy upon us:  Lord have
     mercy upon us’.) seemeth an affected tautology without any special
     cause or order here; and the Lord’s Prayer is annexed that was
     before recited, and yet the next words are again but a repetition
     of the aforesaid oft repeated general (’O Lord, shew thy mercy upon
     us’.)

Still worse.  The spirit in which this and similar complaints originated has turned the prayers of Dissenting ministers into irreverent preachments, forgetting that tautology in words and thoughts implies no tautology in the music of the heart to which the words are, as it were, set, and that it is the heart that lifts itself up to God.  Our words and thoughts are but parts of the enginery which remains with ourselves; and logic, the rustling dry leaves of the lifeless reflex faculty, does not merit even the name of a pulley or lever of devotion.

  8.  The prayer for the King (’O Lord, save the King’.) is without any
     order put between the foresaid petition and another general request
     only for audience. (’And mercifully hear us when we call upon
     thee’).

A trifle, but just.

  9.  The second Collect is intituled (’For Peace’.) and hath not a word
     in it of petition for peace, but only ’for defence in assaults of
     enemies’, and that we ‘may not fear their power’.  And the prefaces
     (’in knowledge of whom standeth’, &c. and ‘whose service’, &c.)
     have no more evident respect to a petition for peace than to any
     other.  And the prayer itself comes in disorderly, while many
     prayers or petitions are omitted, which according both to the
     method of the Lord’s Prayer, and the nature of the things, should
     go before.

  10.  The third Collect intituled (’For Grace’.) is disorderly, &c.... 
      And thus the main parts of prayer, according to the rule of the
      Lord’s Prayer and our common necessities, are omitted.

Not wholly unfounded:  but the objection proceeds on an arbitrary and (I think) false assumption, that the Lord’s Prayer was universally prescriptive in form and arrangement.

  12.  The Litany ... omitteth very many particulars, ... and it is
      exceeding disorderly, following no just rules of method.  Having
      begged pardon of our sins, and deprecated vengeance, it proceedeth
      to evil in general, and some few sins in particular, and thence to
      a more particular enumeration of judgments; and thence to a
      recitation of the parts of that work of our redemption, and thence
      to the deprecation of judgments again, and thence to prayers for
      the King and magistrates, and then for all nations, and then for
      love and obedience, &c.
