A defence of set or prescribed forms of prayer; being an answer to Mr. Phelps's Remarks upon a sermon preached on that subject, pursuant to the Will of Mr. John Hutchins, on St. Mark's Day, 1745, at the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, by the Rev. Tho. Newton, D. D. Rector of the said Church. Wherein the Remarker's false Reasoning, and rude Treatment of the Doctor in particular, the Clergy in general, and Mr. Hutchins's Trustees, are fairly consider'd and expos'd. To which is added, an examination of Mr. Phelp's reflections upon two passages in another sermon preach'd by Dr. Newton before the Hon. House of Commons, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, December 18th, 1745, the Day appointed for a General Fast. In a letter to the author. By Rev. Mr. Downes, Rector of St. Michael, Woodstreet, and Lecturer of St. Mary-le-Bow.
