THE LITƲRGICAL CONSIDERATOR CONSIDERED: Or a brief view of Dr. GAƲDEN'S Conſiderations touching the LITƲRGY of the Church of ENGLAND.

Wherein the Reaſons by him produced for impoſing the ſaid Liturgy upon all, are found to be ſo weak; his defence of things offenſive in it ſo ſlight; the Arguments againſt the Liturgy by himſelf afforded, are ſo ſtrong, that ſome, who upon His Majeſties Declaration did incline to the Liturgy, are now further from it, by reading his wordy Diſcourſe about it.

ALSO Some Reaſons humbly rendered, why ma…y Miniſters as yet cannot conform to that Liturgy; but not out of Diſloyalty, Pride, Ingratitude, Peeviſhneſs, nor Schiſmatical Petulancy, as the Sarcaſtical Pen of this uncharitable Doctor hath publiſhed.

The ſecond Edition.

By G. F. as Firm and Loyal a Subject to His Majeſty, as this CONSIDERATOR is.

Likewiſe the Spirit alſo helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we ſhould pray for as we ought, &c. Rom. 8.26.
