The Sermon (which stands the first, but which

was preached some while ago in our Church) has been added by way of introduction to the others lately preached, because the object of that Sermon is to state the reasons for the use of Forms of Prayer in Public Worship, as the object of the others is to explain that particular Form, which is in use in the Church of England.
