¶_o to_o all_o and_o every_o the_o minister_n churchwarden_n and_o side_n man_n within_o the_o city_n suburb_n and_o diocese_n of_o london_n whereas_o i_o be_o daily_o advertise_v by_o the_o relation_n of_o many_o honest_a and_o religious_a person_n of_o a_o general_a misbehaviour_n in_o most_o church_n in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n of_o london_n in_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n man_n and_o boy_n sit_v then_o cover_v with_o their_o hat_n on_o their_o head_n without_o all_o show_n of_o reverence_n or_o respect_n either_o of_o that_o holy_a place_n or_o action_n the_o one_o be_v the_o house_n of_o almighty_a god_n the_o other_o a_o continue_a vicissitude_n as_o it_o be_v of_o speech_n between_o god_n and_o his_o people_n the_o due_a consideration_n whereof_o may_v easy_o induce_v any_o well_o dispose_v christian_n to_o use_v such_o outward_a posture_n and_o gesture_n of_o his_o body_n as_o become_v that_o sacred_a place_n and_o the_o great_a majesty_n of_o that_o god_n to_o who_o they_o come_v at_o that_o time_n profess_o to_o perform_v a_o divine_a worship_n i_o have_v therefore_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n instant_o to_o recommend_v to_o you_o the_o minister_n churchwarden_n and_o sideman_n the_o reformation_n of_o this_o profane_a abuse_n scandalous_a to_o our_o religion_n against_o a_o express_a law_n in_o that_o case_n provide_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o contrary_a practice_n of_o all_o christian_n in_o all_o age_n in_o their_o like_a solemnity_n and_o assembly_n pray_v and_o require_v you_o to_o join_v together_o your_o utmost_a and_o best_a endeavour_n to_o effect_v the_o same_o for_o which_o purpose_n it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a for_o you_o the_o churchwarden_n and_o sideman_n during_o the_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n diligent_o to_o look_v about_o the_o church_n and_o where_o you_o see_v any_o cover_v if_o boy_n or_o of_o the_o young_a sort_n these_o to_o shame_v open_o by_o pull_v off_o their_o hat_n and_o chastise_v with_o such_o discipline_n as_o you_o have_v be_v laudable_o accustom_v to_o inflict_v upon_o such_o rude_a and_o unmannerly_a fellow_n if_o of_o the_o elder_n or_o better_a sort_n though_o i_o well_o hope_v that_o none_o of_o that_o condition_n out_o of_o their_o own_o judgement_n will_v hereafter_o offend_v in_o this_o kind_n those_o to_o admonish_v grave_o of_o their_o duty_n represent_v unto_o they_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o this_o their_o ill_a example_n and_o how_o direct_o repugnant_a it_o be_v to_o the_o apostle_n rule_v of_o decency_n in_o the_o church_n thus_o to_o celebrate_v divine_a service_n and_o to_o perform_v a_o profess_a and_o religious_a worship_n of_o almighty_a god_n after_o which_o your_o admonition_n if_o any_o shall_v obstinate_o refuse_v to_o uncover_v he_o or_o their_o head_n in_o service_n time_n you_o shall_v then_o present_v they_o to_o i_o or_o my_o chancellor_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o by_o the_o severity_n of_o censure_n may_v be_v amend_v by_o who_o brotherly_a and_o gentle_a persuasion_n have_v be_v contemn_v moreover_o also_o i_o be_o certain_o inform_v that_o the_o public_a service_n of_o almighty_a god_n in_o the_o church_n be_v much_o omit_v and_o thereby_o come_v to_o neglect_v and_o almost_o scorn_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o minister_n read_v not_o divine_a service_n the_o first_o and_o second_o service_n before_o their_o sermon_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o our_o church_n liturgy_n and_o the_o cannon_n in_o that_o case_n provide_v i_o do_v therefore_o hereby_o require_v all_o the_o parson_n vicar_n and_o curate_n in_o my_o diocese_n to_o take_v care_n that_o they_o offend_v not_o in_o this_o kind_n strict_o likewise_o require_v you_o the_o churchwarden_n and_o sideman_n that_o according_a to_o your_o oath_n you_o present_v to_o i_o or_o my_o chancellor_n those_o minister_n that_o shall_v be_v faulty_a in_o this_o kind_n and_o that_o you_o admit_v no_o man_n to_o preach_v in_o your_o several_a church_n who_o be_v not_o licence_v thereunto_o and_o his_o licence_n to_o appear_v to_o you_o the_o minister_n and_o churchwarden_n and_o that_o he_o write_v his_o name_n with_o the_o day_n of_o the_o month_n when_o he_o preach_v and_o by_o who_o he_o be_v licence_v to_o preach_v in_o a_o book_n by_o you_o provide_v for_o that_o purpose_n which_o book_n be_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o chest_n of_o your_o parish_n church_n that_o so_o i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o make_v answer_n if_o enquiry_n be_v make_v of_o any_o such_o preacher_n after_o their_o sermon_n and_o these_o instruction_n i_o do_v require_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o diocese_n of_o london_n to_o publish_v in_o their_o several_a church_n and_o that_o a_o copy_n of_o they_o be_v affix_v to_o some_o eminent_a place_n in_o every_o of_o your_o church_n that_o they_o may_v be_v see_v and_o read_v of_o all_o man_n that_o so_o no_o man_n may_v pretend_v ignorance_n of_o his_o duty_n in_o that_o whereof_o both_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n require_v a_o careful_a and_o religious_a performance_n geo_n london_n
