Form, &c. Fast. War. Oxford, 1643.
This is the form authorised by Charles I. to be used at the commencement of
the war. It is frequently alluded to by the Parliamentary writers of the
period. The House of Commons had ordered a monthly fast, and Charles
commanded that the second Friday in every month should be set apart for the
same purpose. This form was to be used on such occasions.
Form, &c. Fast. Oxford, 1643.
The same as the preceding, but a different edition, one being in
black-letter, the other in Roman. Both were printed in Oxford, and in the
same year.
A Collection of Prayers and Thanksgivings used in His Majesties Chapel
and in his Armies, upon occasion of the late Victories against the
Rebels. Oxford, 1643.
This was reprinted at York in 1644.
The Cavaliers' New Common Prayer Booke, unclasp't. Reprinted at London,
with some briefe and necessary Obseruations to refute the Lyes and
Scandalls that are contained in it. 1644.
This is a reprint of the preceding form, with a scurrilous preface and
observations. The prayers are given as they stand in the Royal form, but
with parenthetical sentences of a most abusive character after almost every
paragraph. Thus, after the clause, "Pity a despised Church," the authors
add, "You mean the prelates and their hierarchy." After the next clause,
"and a distracted State," they add, "made so by your wicked party." In one
of the thanksgivings, after "Glory be to God," we have, "Your mock prayers
defraud Him of His glory." Then, after the words "We praise thee, we bless
thee," &c., from the Communion Office, we have, "Softly, lest you want
breath, and thank the old Common Prayer Book for that."
Private Forms for these Sad Times. Oxford, 1645.
A Form of Thanksgiving, to be used the Seventh Day of September,
thorowout the Diocese of Lincoln, and in the Jurisdiction of
Westminster.
This remarkable form has no date, but it was put forth by Williams, then
Bishop of Lincoln and Dean of Westminster, in the year 1641. The House of
Commons had ordered a day of Thanksgiving; but they were greatly offended
with Williams, on account of this form, and, instead of going to St.
Margaret's Church as usual, where it was ordered to be read, they attended
divine service, after their own fashion, in the chapel of Lincoln's Inn.

petitions relative to Charles I. were found. {537}
