Pagina 84 - DEARLY beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness ; and that we should not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father ; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart ; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy.
Pagina 63 - ... for the comforting of such that delight in music, it may be permitted, that in the beginning or in the end of common prayers, either at morning or evening, there may be sung an hymn, or such like song to the praise of ALMIGHTY GOD in the best sort of melody and music that may be conveniently devised, having respect that the sentence of the hymn may be understanded and perceived.
Pagina 63 - And that there be a modest and distinct song so used in all parts of the Common Prayers in the church, that the same may be as plainly understanded, as if it were read without singing...
Pagina 87 - In like manner if the Church did ever devise a thing fit and convenient, what more than this, that when together we have all received those heavenly mysteries wherein Christ imparteth himself unto us, and giveth visible testification of our blessed communion with him, we should in hatred of all heresies, factions, and schisms, the pastor as a leader, the people as willing followers of him step by step declare openly ourselves united as brethren in one...

Pagina 86 - Could there be any thing devised better, than that we all, at our first access unto God by Prayer, should acknowledge meekly our sins, and that not only in heart but with tongue: all which are present being made ear-witnesses even of every man's distinct and deliberate assent unto each particular branch of a common indictment drawn against ourselves ? How were it possible that the Church should any way else with such ease and certainty provide that none of her children may, as Adam...
Pagina 69 - Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord's Prayer with an audible voice ; the people also kneeling, and repeating it with him, both here, and wheresoever else it is used in Divine Service.
Pagina 102 - ... to me. There was a moment in which the heavens seemed opened to me, and I saw the glory of God ! All the earth seemed to me a storehouse of images, made to set forth the Redeemer, and I could scarcely be still from crying out.
Pagina 111 - I yearn sadly after peace and harmony with those whom I have long known, and I will not quarrel with them if I can help it; though, alas, in some of our tastes there is the music which to them is heavenly, and which to me says nothing ; and there are the wild-flowers which to me are s'o full of beauty, and which others tread upon with indifference...
Pagina 75 - Adfirmabant autem hanc fuisse summam vel culpae suae vel erroris, quod essent soliti stato die ante lucem convenire carmenque Christo quasi deo dicere secum invicem seque sacramento non in scelus aliquod obstringere, sed ne furta, ne latrocinia, ne adulteria committerent, ne fidem fallerent, ne depositum appellati abnegarent.
