Old manuscript from 17th century - need a help to find out some facts

I have this handwritten religious manuscript, Christian, but not sure for the denomination. It probably from the late 17th century, although it could even earlier. It seems to be written in 2 different hands, possibly with some time span. I made a lot of scans, and will be thankful is someone could find some clue in the writings, to help me to find out the author, if it was notable, or even just a denomination. These writings are original (not a copies), and the reading could be interesting to some historians of the religion... if you know any, please, refer him on this topic, so that I don't need to present these scans on another places.

Please, just copy + paste the link in your browser, because I am new on this forum, and unable to post the pics directly:

I saw the pages, and I'm not too sure what to make of it. I tried a couple searches using some words from that prayer book, but had no luck. Does it have anything on the cover or first pages, such as a name?

Thank you, Shiranui17. I also tried all that on-line searches of the parts, and didn't find anything, so consider that these writings are original.There are some writings on the inner covers, but, they are 70% faded... unfortunately, the only names I was able to find out are Cowley and Roberts. But, Cowley is also a toponym in England, and Roberts is a very a common surname. Also, these 2 names are incorporated in lareger part of mostly faded texts, so, they are not surely so much connected with the writer.

Please, could re-type the link in your next reply here, because the Moderator edit it in my initial post, and people here are unable to see it any more.

Pegg..thank you on your suggestion... but, people in the local museum usually don't know anything... especialy not so explicit question about an antique religious manuscript. It is of England provninience, and I am living in the southereastern Europe... so, I am pretty sure that a local museum is not going to be of any help.
