as_o may_v be_v for_o it_o be_v know_v how_o superstitious_o people_n run_v unto_o that_o action_n upon_o easter_n as_o if_o time_n give_v virtue_n to_o the_o sacrament_n when_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a year_n they_o be_v careless_a and_o negligent_a as_o though_o it_o belong_v not_o unto_o they_o but_o at_o that_o time_n only_o therefore_o we_o think_v it_o expedient_a that_o the_o first_o sunday_n of_o march_n yearly_o be_v keep_v for_o one_o day_n to_o that_o service_n the_o first_o sunday_n of_o june_n for_o another_o the_o first_o sunday_n of_o september_n for_o the_o

to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o that_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o that_o holy_a mystery_n who_o can_v formal_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n the_o article_n of_o the_o belief_n declare_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n and_o understand_v the_o use_n and_o virtue_n of_o that_o holy_a sacrament_n we_o also_o think_v necessary_a that_o every_o church_n have_v a_o bible_n in_o english_a and_o that_o the_o people_n convene_v to_o hear_v the_o scripture_n read_v and_o interpret_v that_o by_o frequent_a read_n and_o hear_v the_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o the_o people_n may_v be_v remove_v and_o we_o judge_v it_o most_o expedient_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v read_v in_o order_n that_o be_v that_o some_o one_o book_n of_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n be_v begin_v and_o follow_v forth_o to_o the_o end_n the_o like_a we_o esteem_v of_o preach_v if_o the_o minister_n remain_v for_o the_o most_o part_n at_o one_o place_n for_o the_o divagation_n from_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o another_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o read_v or_o preach_v we_o account_v not_o so_o profitable_a for_o the_o church_n as_o the_o continual_a follow_v of_o one_o text._n the_o master_n
