A new exposition on the Book of common prayer. Wherein the whole service is illustrated and defended by incontestable proofs drawn from the Holy Scriptures.

Interspersed with proper observations, and answers to several popular objections not consider'd by other writers. To which is prefix'd, an introduction, demonstrating the lawfulness and expediency of precomposed forms of prayer; in answer to a pamphlet, intitled, Plain reasons for dissenting from the Church of England, so far as relates to this subject. By John Veneer, rector of St. Andrew's, in Chichester.
