It seems unnecessary to enumerate all the different alterations and amendments They will appear, and it is to be hoped, the reasons of them also, upon a compari son of this with the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. In whic it will also appear, that this Church is far from intending to de part from the Church of England in any essential point of doctrine, discipline, or worship: or further than local circumstances And now, this important work being brought to a conclusion, it is hoped the whole will be received and examined by every true Member of our Church, and every sincere Christian, with a ineek, candid, and charitable frame of mind, with. out prejudice or prepossessionis; seriously considering what Christianity is, and what the truths of the Gospel are, and eamestly beseeching Almighty God to accompany with his blessing every endeavour for promulgating them to mankind in the clearest, plainest, most affecting and majestic manner, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord and Saviour. require THE ORDER HOW THE PSALTER IS APPOINTED TO BE READ.
