[In "The Anatomist. No. XVII, " a continuing discussion
about the Episcopal Church in America; discussing ceremonies
and rites in churches around the world:] . . . On the
present head of ceremonies and rites, I would not wish to be
tedious. For some of those things, which were once so
offensive to some among ourselves, are becoming every day
less so; and never gave any offence to foreign churches;
such as the observation of holy-days, Church-music, the
gown, the surplice, the square-cap, &c.
Geneva and Calvin shall here speak in place of all
others. And 1st, as to Church-music, none are more fond of
it that the Geneva-Churches; and no music more light and
airy than theirs. . .
