Dr. Clarke's Amendments of the Liturgy recommended.

The amendments of the Liturgy, proposed by Dr. Clarke, chiefly relate to the right direction of prayer and thanksgiving to its only object, the one living and true God, as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ; not but that he has made some very considerable improvements in other respects, as he passed along. It was no small satisfaction, in the perusal of them, to find that those parts of our public service, which had long seemed to me to countenance an unscriptural, and therefore unlawful, forbidden worship, i. e. the offering up of prayer to any but the one true God, the Father, were all of them either cancelled or altered by this eminent person. I should have held it fitting and needful for my own justification, to have given some account of those passages in the Liturgy on the article of Divine Worship, which I had scruples in reading, or in joining in the constant use of them; but I reckon it a fortunate circumstance, that I am able to say, they were also, in a greater or lesser degree, the objections of Dr. Clarke.

A List of exceptionable parts of the Liturgy with respect to the Object of Worship; all of which are either quite struck out, or changed, by Dr. Clarke.
