THat in all Cathedrall and Collegiate Churches two Sermons be preached every Sunday by the Deane and Prebendaries or by their procurement and likewise every Holiday and one Lecture at the least to be preached on working daies every weeke all the yeere long 2. That the Musique used in Gods holy Service in Cathedrall and Collegiate Churches be framed with lesse curiosity that it may be more edifying and more

intelligible that no Hymnes or Anthems be used where Ditties are framed by private men but such as are contained in the sacred Canonicall Scriptures or in our Liturgy of prayers or have publique allowance 3. That the Reading-deske be placed in the Church where divine Service may best be heard of all the people Considerations upon the Booke of Common Praier 1.

Whether the reading of Psalmes sentences of Scripture concurring in divers places in the Hymnes Epistles and Gospels should not be set out in the new translation 3.

Whether the Hymnes Benedicite omnia opera c. may not be left out 10. In the prayer for the Clergy that phrase perhaps to be altered which only worketh great marvels 11. In the Rubrique for the administration of the Lords Supper whether this alteration to be made that such as intend to communicate shall signifie their names to the Curate over night or in the morning before Prayers 12. The next Rubrique to be cleared how farre a Minister may repulse a scandalous and notorious sinner from the Communion 13. Whether the Rubrique is not to be mended where the Church-wardens are straightly appointed to gather the almes for the poore before the Communion begin for by experience it is proved to be done better when the people depart 14. VVhether the Rubrique is not to be mended concerning the party that is to make his generall confession upon his knees before the Communion that it should be said only by the Minister and then at every clause repeated to the people 15. These words in the forme of the Consecration This is my body this is my blood of the New Testament not to be printed hereafter in great Letters 16. VVhether it will not be fit to insert a Rubrique touching kneeling at the Communion that is to comply in all humility with the prayer which the Minister makes when he delivers the Elements 17. VVhether Cathedrall and Collegiate Churches shall be straitly bound to celebrate the holy Communion every Sunday at the least and might not it rather be added once in a moneth 18. In the last Rubrique touching the Communion is it not fit that the Printer make a full point and begin with a new great letter at these words And every Parishioner shall also receive the Sacraments 19 VVhether in the first prayer at the baptisme these words Didst sanctifie the flood Iordan and all other waters should not be thus changed Didst sanctifie the Element of water 20. VVhether it be not fit to have some discreet Rubrique made to take away all scandall from signifying the signe of the Crosse upon the infants after baptisme or if it shall seem more expedient to be quite disused whether this reason should be published that in ancient Liturgies no Crosse was consigned upon the partie but where Oyle also was used and therefore Oyle being now omitted so may also that which was concomitant with it the signe of the Crosse 21. In private baptisme the rubrique mentions that which must not be done that the Minister may dip the child in water being at the point of death 22. VVhether in the last rubrique of confirmation those words be to be left out and be undoubtedly saved 23. VVhether the Catechisme may not receive a little more enlargement 14. VVhether the times prohibited for marriage are quite to be taken away 25. VVhether none hereafter shall have licences to marry nor be asked their banes of Matrimony that shal not bring with them a Certificate from their Ministers that they are instructed in their Catechisme 26. VVhether these words in Matrimony with my bodie I thee worship shall not be thus altered I give thee power over my bodie 27. VVhether the last rubrique of marriage should not be mended that new married persons should receive the Communion the same day of their marriage may it not well be or upon the next Sunday following when the Communion is celebrated 28. In the absolution of the sicke were it not plaine to say I pronounce thee absolved 29. The Psalme of thankesgiving of women after Child-birth were it not fit to be composed out of proper Versicles taken from divers Psalmes 30 May not the Priest rather read the Commination in the Deske then go up to the pulpit 31. The rubrique in the Commination leaves it doubtfull whether the Letanie may not be read in divers places in the Church 32. In the order of the buriall of all persons 't is said We commit his bodie to the ground in sure and certaine hope of resurrection to eternall life VVhy not thus knowing assuredlie that the dead shall rise againe 33 In the Collect next unto the Collect against the pestilence the clause perhaps to be mended For the honour of Iesus Christs sake 34. In the Letany instead of for nication and all other deadlie sin would it not satisfie thus from fornication and all other grievous sins 35. It is very fit that the imperfections of the meeter of the singing Psalmes should be mended and then lawfull authority added unto them to have them publiquely sung before and after Sermons and sometimes instead of the Hymns of morning and evening prayer FINIS
