Excerpt from Prayers Adapted to Various Occasions of Social Worship: For Which Provision Is Not Made in the Book of Common Prayer To seek honor for ourselves in praying, or in compiling prayers, would be highly improper and indeed sinful. In preparing these, i seek not the praise of originality; but gladly avail myself of the labors of others. Next after the Holy Scriptures, I have preferred the language of the Book of Common Prayer, and in many instances I have adopted the expressions of other writers. If we have forms of sound words, suitable for those who would unite in God's holy worship, by whom the words were first used is of very little importance, the ih spired writings excepted.
