This is the form authorised by Charles L to be used

 and Charles commanded that the second Friday in 

 every month should be set apart for tiie same purpose. 

 This form was to be used on such occasions.

 Reprinted at London, with some briefe and neces- 

 sary Obseruations to refute the Lyes and Scandalls 

 that are contained in it. 1644. 



This is a reprint -of the preceding form, with a scur- 

 rilous preface and observations. The prayers are given 

 as they stand in the Royal form, but with parenthetical 

 sentences of a most abusive character after almost every 

 paragraph. Thus, after the clause, " Pity a despised 

 Church," the authors add, " You mean the prelates and 

 their hierarchy." After the next clause, "and a dis- 

 tracted State," they add, " made so by your wicked 

 party." In one of the thanksgivings, after " Glory be 

 to God," we have, " Your mock prayers defraud Him 

 of His glory." Then, after the words " We praise thee, 

 we bless thee," &e., from the Communion Office, we 

 have, " Softly, lest you want breath, and thank the old 

 Common Prayer Book for that." 



Private Forms for these Sad Times. Oxford, 1645. 



A Form of Thanksgiving, to be used the Seventh Day 

 of September, thorowout the Diocese of Lincoln, 

 and in the Jurisdiction of Westminster. 



This remarkable form has no date, but it was put 

 forth by Williams, then Bishop of Lincoln and Dean 

 of Westminster, in the year 1641. The House of 

 Commons had ordered a day of Thanksgiving; but 

 they were greatly offended with Williams, on account 

 of this form, and, instead of going to St. Margaret's 

 Church as usual, where it was ordered to be read, they 

 attended divine service, after their own fashion, in the 

 chapel of Lincoln's Inn. 



A Supply of Prayers for the Ships of this Kingdom 

 that want Ministers to pray with them agreeable 

 to the Directory, &c. London. Published by 

 authority. 



A Presbyterian form, and the only one ever pub- 

 lished by men who decried all forms. It was put fortli, 

 as the preface admits, because the sailors clung to the 

 Book of Common Prayer. 



Prayers to be used in the Armies. 1648. 



A Form of Prayer used at His Majesties Chapel at 



the Hague. 1650. 

 Prayers for those who mourn, &c. 1 659. 

 Form of Common Prayer, to be used on the Thirtieth 



of January, &c. 1661. 



This form differs materially from that subsequently 

 put forth by Convocation, with the revised Prayer 

 Book of 1662. There was also another form still 

 earlier, in the j'ear 1661, in which some singular and 

 obnoxious petitions relative to Charles I. were found.
