A discourse of joint prayer; shewing, I. What is meant by joint prayer. II. That the joint use of prayers conceiv'd extempore hinders devotion, and consequently displeases God: whereas the joint Use of such precompos'd set Forms, as the Congregation is accustom'd to, and throughly acquainted with, does most effectually promote Devotion, and consequently is commanded by God. III. That the lay dissenters are oblig'd, upon their own principles, to abhor the prayers offer'd in their separate assemblies, and to join in Communion with the Establish'd Church. By Thomas Bennet, M. A. Rector of St. James's in Colchester, and late Fellow of St. John's College in Cambridge.
