Excerpt from Public Worship: Or, Specimens of the Manner in Which the Service of the Presbyterian Church Are Conducted on Sacramental and Other Solemn Festivals, as Well as on More Ordinary Occasions The form of worship, when there is only one meeting of the congregation, is fully exemplified in the first day's service. In it, the psalms and paraphrases are fully given. In all the services of the other days, the psalms and paraphrases are not fully given, as, it was thought, this would unnecessarily enlarge the volume. In Scotland the congregation sit during the whole service, except the prayers, when they all stand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
