A60393	A catalogve of superstitons innovations in the change of services and ceremonies, of presumptuous irregularities, and transgressions, against the Articles of Religion, Act of Parliament for uniformity, canons, advertisements, injunctions, and homilies and lastly, of sundry perjurious violations of the locall statutes of Durham Cathedrall church, which the dean and presendaries, and all other members of the said church, took their corporall oaths, to observe, and obey, at their admittance and installation, according to that in the 13. Chap. De admissione Canonicorum ... / opposed by Peter Smart ...	Smart, Peter, 1569-1652?	1642 (1642)	Wing S4013; ESTC R560	24,629	36

prescribed in the book of Common Prayer but they have added diminished and altred the whole form of Divine Service and two yeers together they have had no ordinary Morning Service according to the Rubricks 28 For 2 yeers together from 1627. till 1629. our Durham Innovators Mr. Cosin and his Associates would not suffer any ordinary Morning Prayer to be said at the due and usuall time between 9 and 11 in the place where Evening Prayer was duely said but every day working dayes and holy dayes they went to the Altar as they termed it to say a second Service so they call the Communion Service which is no part of the ordinary Morning Prayer as appeareth by the last Rubrick before the Letanie and before that which they call the second Service Thus endeth the order of Morning and Evening Prayer throughout the yeer Neither is the place where their Altar stands the accustomed place for saying any Divine Service being at the East end of the Quire or Chancell so farre in some Churches from the Congregation that they can neither see the Minister nor hear what he saith nor understand so well as they do the Evening Prayer said in the usuall place among them 29 The first Rubrick in the book of Common Prayer is this The order where Morning and Evening Prayer shall be used and said The Morning and Evening Prayer shall be used in the accustomed place of the Church Chappell or Chancell And the Chancels shall remain as they have done in times past This Rubrick our Durham Innovators have violated sundry waies for here we see one place is appointed for Morning and Evening Prayer not two places one for Morning and another for Evening Prayer Evening Prayer hath been used in the accustomed place in which it is alwayes said in the midst of the Quire This alteration our irregular Durhamers made themselves without the determination of the Ordinarie who by the 14 Cannon is limited that he may do nothing whereby edification may be hindred and how can the people be edified when they cannot hear the Minister as is done in Mr. Burgoyns Church at Warmoth c Again whereas the Rubrick saith Chancels shall remain as they have done in times past our new fangled Durhamers and other countrey Priests following their example have made Cancellos inter Cancellos Chancels within Chancels that is an Inclosure to divide their Altar Eastward from the Quire as the Sanctum Sanctorum was separated with curtains from the rest of the Temple who ever heard of 2 Chancels in one Church till Durhamers invented it contrary to this Rubrick and the example of all Churches in England in former times So that they have a holy Church a more holy Chancell and at the East end thereof a most holy inclosure where the Altar must stand unto which no man or woman may have accesse but Priests onely 30 Another Rubrick saith Then shall follow certain Psalms in order as they be appointed in the Table made for that purpose And another Rubrick saith Then shall be read 2 Lessons distinctly with a loud voice that the people may hear the first of the Old Testament the second of the New like as they be appointed in the Kalender The Minister that readeth the Lessons standing and turning him so as he may be best heard of all that be present No Psalms nor Chapters were read either of the old or new Testament which is a principall part of Divine Service by our Durham Innovators for the space of two yeers and consequently they had no ordinary Morning Service in their Cathedrall in the usuall place time and form as is prescribed in the book of Common Prayer Cannons Injunctions and Act of Parliament for Uniformity which commands all Churches to be uniform unto none of which Durham Cathedrall was agreeable in their Morning Services 31 The Act of Parliament for Uniformity hath these words If any person or Minister in any Cathedrall or parish Church shall by open fact or deed or by threatning compell any to sing or say any common or open prayer otherwise or in any other manner or form then is mentioned in the book of Common Prayer let him be indicted Again in the same Act no rite order form or manner at Mattens or Even song may be used in Cathedrall or Parish Churches but that which is appointed in the book of Common Prayer The form of Morning prayer was altred in Durham Cathedrall by dividing it into 2 parts to be said at two distinct times Most of the Rubricks with sundry Cannons and Injunctions have been violated and broken by means of that division Many rites and ceremonies have been changed unlawfully used Men have been injoyned at forbidden times to weare unlawfull vestments condemned by our Church some have been compelled with threatning and penalties to obey their unlawfull commands As was evidently seen in the morning Prayer which by the Injunction and custome of 60 yeers continuance was said in a place appointed thereunto by one petty Cannon alone plainly distinctly and briefly to be ended at seven a clock But new fangled Durhamers would have their new devised morning prayer to be said and sung solemnly in the Quire with all the voices of men and children and musicall instruments whom they forced to be present at that unlawfull Service and there to abide till all was done at 8 a clock whereby they have deserved many wayes to be indicted and for their contumacy deprived of all their livings according to the Statute In that being often admonished they would not amend for the space of two yeers 32 But the most notorious Innovation and most contrary to the foresaid Act of Uniformitie was that which Mr. Cosin and his Associates took up at Durham about the yeer 1626. to go in a Cope to the Altar to say 2. or 3. prayers after every Sermon which is a strange ceremony not mentioned in the book of Common Prayer or Cannons and consequently forbidden They would not suffer the Preacher to dismisse the Congregation with the blessing of Gods peace as was wont to be done in Durham and all other Churches of England They alledge for themselves the Rubrick after the Nicene Creed After the Creed if there be no Sermon shall follow one of the Homilies set forth by common Authority And after such Sermon Homily or exhortation the Curate shall declare unto the people whether there be any holidayes or fasting dayes in the weeke following And earnestly exhort them to remember the poore This Rubrick makes nothing for this fond Innovation for it saith After the Creed if there be no Sermon shall follow one of the Homilies And then it saith after such Sermon Homily or Exhortation the Curate shall declare whether therebe any holidayes or fasting dayes Here is a contradiction or rather a nonsence if the words be no● rightly understood If there be no Sermon and then After such Sermon Homily or Exhortation what meaneth this After such Sermon

Church of England Articles of Religion Injunctions Rubricks Cannons c. Now let us take a view and see of which amongst the 50. I or my accusers and persecuters of Durham London and Yorke are most guilty and deserve more to be punished 1 Innovators in Durham contrarie to the Injunction commanding Altars to be removed and Communion Tables set up have done quite otherwise they have cast out of the Church lawfull Tables and brought in unlawfull Altars 2 They have left the language of their Mother the Church of England in using the word Altar and leaving Table 3 Instead of a decent Table they have set up a brave and sumptuous Altar with much Superstitious and unlawfull Furniture 4 Instead of a Wooden Table standing on a Frame they made a Stone Altar on a Wall or St one Pillars and consequently heavie and unmovable wheras it should be light and portable that it might be removed as occasion requireth 5 The Rubricke commands the Communion Table be placed where Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer are appointed to be said that is in the body of the Church or Chancell but they place their Altars at the East end of their Chancells or Quires where Evening Prayer is never said nor all Morning Prayer so that the People cannot well heare nor be so well edified 6 Our Church commands that the Minister Officiating shall stand at the North-side of the Table but they set up Altars or Tables Altar-wise along by the Wall with neither side toward the North. 7 Our Lyturgie and all our Church Books use constantly the words Minister Sacraments Communion Table but our Durhamors and Yorkers say falsly that the words Altar Sacrifice Priest are indifferently used in our Lyturgie where indeed they are never used only in the Rubricks Priest is used somtimes never in the Text Minister is used alwayes in the Text and somtimes in the Rubricks 8 They preferre Altars Priests Sacrifices before Communion Tables Ministers Sacraments alleadging falsly that the Fathers of the Primitive Church did so I say the learned Divines that reformed the church of England rejected many things which some of the Fathers erroneously maintained as namely this of Altar Priest Sacrifice and our learned Bishop Morton saith the same That their libertie of Speech occasioned in Romanists that prodigall error in Doctrine 9 They removed the Font from place to place from the East end of the Church to the West end from the North to the South where lately it stood I say with the Injunction the Font must not be removed and 81 Cannon the Font shall stand in the ancient usuall place 10 They adored their brave Altar making legges to it and bowing down their bodies oftentimes and profoundly before it more then ever the Papists use to doe I say the Table is as holy as the Altar yet none make legges to the Communion Table when it stands as the Church appoints in the body of the Church In these 10. points concerning Altars judge rightly ô Bishop and High Commissioner who maintains the truth who obeyes the Laws and orders of the Church of England they that did all things wrong or I that opposed my selfe lawfully against their unlawfull Innovations yet you have condemned me only for doing my duty But did you ever punish the wrong doers mine adversaries did you ever call them in question did you amend any thing that was done amisse in the Church No verily but you have assisted cherished and rewarded them with great preferments you have joyned with them in persecuting me with all rigour and extremitie As for example Doctor Duncon one of my spightfullest persecutors hath written a Treatise call'd A Determination in defence of Altars and bowing down before Altars which is a Ceremonie not allow'd by the Church of England but forbidden by the Act of Parliament for uniformitie yet he proveth it by many foolish reasons amongst which this is a principallone the Altar is the most holything the Church of God hath therfore it must devoutly be bowed unto His words are these or to this effect Sanctitas excellentia Altaris prae reliquis omnibus in Ecclesia and againe Altare est optima praecipua sanctissima pars universae supellectilis Ecclesiasticae The sanctitie the excellencie of the Altar above all other things in the Church The Altar is the best the noblest the holyest part of all Ecclesiasticall stuffe or implements And againe thus he writeth The Latine Worthies Heroes terme it Sacrum Sanctum Venerandum Altare sacred holy venerable Altar and they make comparison saith he Inter Altare apud Christianos et Sanctum Sanctorum apud Judaeos illudq multis nominibus praeferunt Hinc etiam est quod Altaria septis et cancellis undiquaque munire et vallare consueverunt ne laicorum aliquis propius quam par est ad Altare ccederet Heroes scilicet rather Blasphemous wretches which dare compare their false Imaginary Idolized Altar set up in Churches by Antichristian Priests in the place of Gods holy Table compare it I say and in many respects preferre it also before the sanctum sanctorum of the Iewes the inward most holy Sanctuary into which the High-Priest alone might goe and that no more then once in a whole yeare read what Saint Paul writes Heb. 9. 2 3. to the 11. And as the most holy inward Sanctuary where the Arke of the Covenant the Tables of the Law the 10 Commandements c. were placed was divided from the outward Sanctuary by a second Vaile so must our Priests have a holy Chancell parted from the Church with Railes and within that Holy Holy Holy Sanctuary or Chancell where the Altar that glorious S●at must stand enclosed with Rails to keep our laiks from aproaching to neer the Sacred Altar Thus much and twenty times more writeth Bishop Neales Chaplaine Duncon in justification of Altars and Altar cringings I wonder that none of you Bishops Deanes and arch-Deacons have taken this Duncon with his determination unto examination that it might be purged with fire as many better Bookes have bin I know some of you have seene it and perused it The learned Bishop of Lincolne in his Holy Table Name and thing writes that lately there came to his hands a certaine Determination concerning Altars a Treatise well Languaged but of poore stuffe poor● God knowes hungry and ragged nasty and scab'd and swarming with loathsome vermine as by Gods helpe I shall make manifest to the world hereafter if no man else will take it in hand 11. The Church of England commands that all Monuments of Idol●try and Superstition Images pictures paintings crosses Crucifixes Candlesticks c. be defaced and abolished that no memory of them remaine in walls windowes or elsewhere These I preached against and for preaching this truth I have bin persecuted by them who instead of defacing Images they have given them new faces bravely painted and guilded instead of abolishing them they have multiplied them and renewed their memory in

walls windowes copes c. 12. They reject the Homilies because they disallow Images Altars and other Superstitious Ornaments with Organs and chanting without understanding I defend the Homilies and the Doctrine of the Church of England taught in them 13 They terme their Images and other Superstitious trinkets Ornaments of the Church but I with the Homilies St. Bernard and Hemingius say they are disgracements of religion and impediments of pietie they are abominations in the sight of God and godly men 14 They taking libertie to themselves to set up Altars and Images and to abolish the Sabbath day the name whereof they cannot endure to heare have taken away the ten Commandements quite out of Durham Cathedrall because the 2. forbiddeth Images the 4. enjoyneth the observation of a Sabbath this they have done contrarie to the expresse words of 84. Cannon 15 They have used Copes and other superstitious Vestments falsly called Copes at their Altar when there was no Communion and after every Sermon to say Prayers in Copes contrary to the expresse words of the Advertisement and the 24 25. Can. 16. They have Preached and justified him that Preached in the Pulpit and sate in his stall wearing a Cope and not a Hood contrary to the Advertisement and the 25 Cannon and they did Article against me and censured me at Yorke for blaming in Mr. Burgain of Durham this notorious irregularitie but him they excused they never call'd him in question 17 They used in Durham and still they use not decent but sumptuous Copes embroidered with Images and they have used py-bald curtaild ridiculous Vestmēts even at the administration of the holy Communion contrary to the 24. and the latine Canon de officio Decani which command decent Copes to be used never but at the Communion they forbid all Vestments superstitione contaminatas defiled with Superstition that is such as have Images on them or have bin used at Masse In these 7. points concerning the abolishing of the Monuments ●f Idolatry defacing of Images rejecting the Doctrine of the Church of England in the Book of Homilies against excessive cost upon Organs Altars Idols which falsly they call Ornaments of the Church being indeed pollutions of Religion and abominations In taking out of the Church the Decalogue because the 2. Commandement forbids the bowing down to Images and the 4. commandeth the keeping holy the Sabbath In using Copes at the Altar when there is no Communion and those not decent but either rascall Robe● very fooles coats or exceeding sumptuous glittering with Images in preaching in a Cope sitting in a Stall in a Cope to heare Service when Copes are forbidden and Hoods injoyned In all these 7. judge O Bishop or High Commissioner who is faulty who transgresseth the Laws and Orders of the Church which of us is conformable to the Church of England who deserves punishment and who should be rewarded I have observed all these Laws and Canons yet I have been punished with all rigour and extremitie my persecutors of Durham and York having broken all Laws of the Church have never been call'd in question some of them have been advanced to high dignities and preferments Is this Prelaticall Iustice is this Episcepall government surely the judges of hell Minos and Radamanthus would never pronounce so injust sentences 18 The 49 Injunction commandeth that Musicke be not abused in the Church that the Common Prayer should be worse understood That there should be modest and distinct singing to the intent all may be understood plainly and the sense perceived But Durhamers have used excessive Musicke both Instrumentall and vocall even at 6 a clock Prayer in the morning used to be read plainly and the administration of Sacraments wherby those holy actions have been greatly disturbed 19 The preface to the Communion Book commandeth Anthems to be cut off and Psalmes are allowed to be sung before and after Sermons But our Innovators of Durham have forbidden all singing of Psalmes till this last yeare 1641. from 1629. all which time no Psalme hath bin sung in Durham Church 20 The Nicene Creed hath been sung not after the manner of distinct reading that the people might understand and the people have bin compelled with fighting and brawling to stand on their feet though they could not repeat the same Creed in an audible voice as the 18. Canon appoints 21. They tooke for Assistants at the Communion the whole quire men and Children which communicated not contrarie to the custome and practise of all Cathedrall Churches 22 They chaunted or approved him that did sit in his stall to sing prick song which both custom and Law forbids Preachers and Praebends to doe but they would not suffer Psalmes to be sung that all the Congregation might sing with them 23 24 They took the Morning Prayer at 6 of the clocke quite away for two years together a most impudent Innovation contrary to all the Cathedralls of England and in this they violated many Lawes and Injunctions especially the Injunction made by Commissioners under the great Seale of England prime Eliz. for the Church of Durham and in so doing they incurd the terrible crime of perjury because that morning-prayer was established by Law and custome which all took their othes that they would observe 25. They confounded and turned all forenoone services upside downe by saying the whole ordinary service with Psalmes and Chapters read at six of the clocke in the morning and saying a new found second service without either Chapters or Psalmes betweene ten and eleven the usuall time in all Churches for the ordinary service to be said 26. They removed the ordinary service a whole twelve Mo●eth together from Ten of clocke to eight and all that time they had three forenoon services afterwards they placed the ordinary and most solemne service both Sundayes and working dayes in the roome of morning prayer at six a clocke and they called the people thereunto by the ringing of six bells to which not three persons usually resorted in Winter time especially 27. They did not observe the time place order and fashion of rights and ceremonies as the 14. Canon prescribes without adding or diminishing any thing in matter or forme 28. They said evening prayer in the accustomed place alwayes but the Altar at the East end of the Quire where they said their second service is no accustome d place for any service but it is an Innovation in Durham begun by Bishop Neals Chaplains 29 They made Chancels within Chancels contrary to the Rubrick which saith chancels shall remaine as they were in times past a strange Innovation 30 The Act of Parliament commands all Churches to be Vniforme but Durham Cathedrall was agreeable to none in their forenoone Services 31 No rite order forme or manner of saying Mattens may be used in Cathedrall or Parish Churches then what is appointed in the Booke of Common Prayer and if any Person compell by deeds or threatnings to say Prayers in any other manner let him be Indicted Mr. Cosin and his Associates have transgressed against this claus of the act for uniformity oftentimes notoriously 32 They suffer not the Preacher to dismisse the Congregation but the Sermon being done he comes downe from the Pulpit and another goeth to the Communion Table and having said 2 or 3 Prayers he saith the Peace of God and the People depart which is grounded upon a Rubricke misunderstood 33 They have spoken and Preached against the Religion established terming the Reformation of our Church a deformation and the Reformers ignorant Calvinisticall Bishops 34 They tooke upon them to make new Orders for the observation of unlawfull Services and Ceremonies for which they are Excommunicated And they have given to the Bishops transcendent Authoritie in ordering Church matters which notwithstanding is limited by the locall Statutes of Durham Church and by the Cannons his Office is to Preach and not to hinder Preaching c. 35 They make Gloria Patri a fourth Creed and therefore they injoyn the Ceremonie of standing which is a Prayer and a part of the Letany at which all must kneele 36 They lighted on Candlemas Day more then 200 waxe Candles when none were needfull the day being lengthened 2 houres the 2 of February being equall to the 18. of October St. Lukes on which Day no Church lighted Candles 37 They constantly observe that unlawfull Ceremonie of turning faces to the East not allowed by the Church and some when they officiate at the Communion Table looke toward the East turning their backs to the People after the manner of Masse Priests In these 20. from 17 to 37. mine Adversaries of Durham have offended they have violated above 40. Orders Cannons Injunctions Rubrickes not onely in Ceremonies but in the most substantiall parts of Gods Service and Sacraments yet which of them was ever punished convented or Questioned before a Bishop or other Ecclesiasticall judge for so great and so many presumptuous irregularities and Innovations which have ●●●●throwne the whole frame of our Church Discipline and Gouernment I that to my knowledge have Transgressed in nothing I that oftentimes offered the Comissioners Bishop Harsnet and his Colleagues which censured me so cruelly that if they would shew me my error and in what I offended against the Church of ENGLAND in Doctrine or Ceremonie I would amend and make satisfaction But it is great Tyranny and Div●llish oppression to kill a true Man unlesse he will betray Truth and renounce his Religion O ye Bishops and other Spirituall Iudges how terrible have you been in destroying painfull Preachers for not observing the Crosse in Baptisme and other trifling Ceremonies But these monstrous Hell hounds of Durham and Yorke those Popish Hereticall ●●rminian Schismaticall Innovators and most pernitious corruptors of Religion amongst us you let them scape nay some of you have abetted and assisted them unpersecuting me and others living peaceably amongst you you help these Enemies of God to afflict and vexe me you honour and reward Wolves and make them strong to worry Christs Sheepe and Lambs Psal 94.

Communion which are disturbers rather which is an Innovation in Durham begun there when Doctor Cosins was made Prebendary of that Church for both in England and all other reformed Churches all are commanded to depart which do not communicate 22. They offended in chanting in the Quire amongst singing men and children which is a base employment for Maior Cannons Prebendaries and Preachers amongst whom it is a thing unaccustomed and unlawfull when they sit in their Prebendall stals disallowed by Bishop Howson their Diocesan in his Visitation and forbidden by Gregory the great who saith Prohibitum est ne quis in Ecclesia cantet nisi inferiores ordines ut pote subdiaconi Diaconi vero lectioni praedicationi incumbant It is forbidden saith he that any chant in the Churches but men of meane degree none above Subdeacons but Ministers or Deacons must apply themselves to reading and preaching for that makes most for the peoples edification to which all must be done In old time Omnes simul psallebant in Ecclesia all Christians did sing together in the Church yet now Soli Clerici canunt the Clerks onely sing as Bellarmine confesseth li. 2o. de verbi Dei cap. 16. lib. 1. de bonis operibus cap. 16. Yea though the Papists confesse that it was given in commandment by St. Paul saith Bineus that the faithfull in their Assemblies should praise God together with heart and voyce by singing Psalmes yet they tell us saith Bellarmine that Ecclesiasticae institutione optime provisum est ne praeter certos ad hoc inscriptos alii in Eccl●sia canerent It is excellently well provided for by the Orders of the Church that none should sing but a set number appointed for that purpose viz. Priests Clerks Singingmen and Quiristers 23 The most impudent and most unlawfull Innovation that ever was seen in any Cathedrall Church of England was that of taking away the Morning Prayer at 6. of the clock which had continued above sixty yeers and putting in the place thereof the ordinary Morning Service appointed to be said at ten of the clock which continued about two yeers Injunctions were given S●ptember 25 1o. Eli● by William Lord Eures Doctor Sands and others Commissioners authorised under the great Seal of England to the Dean and Chapter of Durham and to all other Ministers of that Church to be observed by every of them in their offices and degrees for the advancement of Gods glory The 10. Injunction is this consisting of 5 clauses the first that you shall have your Divine Service at due or convenient houres in your Church 2 And that you shall besides your ordinary Morning Prayer and Service have every working day at 6. of the clock in the morning the Common Prayer with the English Letany and Suffrages instead and in place of the morrow Masse 3 To the intent that the Schollers of the Grammer Schoole and other well disposed persons may daily resort thereto 4 And that some be appointed weekly as it shall come to their course either such as were appointed for the morrow Masse or else some of the petty Cannons 5 And that to be done in some convenient place of the Church 24 The foresaid Morning Prayer at six of the clock our Innovators of Durham might not alter or disanull 1 Because it was ordained and established by lawfull Authority of the Soveraigne Prince and Parliament under the great Seal of England in the generall reformation of the Church which private men without authoritie might not take away nor change without the danger of excommunication and deprivation for their impudent sawcinesse in rebelliously withstanding the Kings Laws 2 Because it was contrary to the custome of Durham Cathedrall which had continued ever since the first yeer of Queen Eliz. 1559. till the second yeer of our Soveraigne Lord King Charles to the observation of which custome all Durham Prebends take expresly their corporall oath when they are installed 3 Because it is contrary to all Cathedrall Churches in England as Bishop Howson said which Cathedrals still retain their Morning Prayers plainly read by one Minister with a Psalm in the end in a vulgar tune which all the Congregation may sing together 4 Because these Injunctions being made for the advancement of Gods glory the taking away of this Morning Prayer distinctly said is the hindrance of Gods glory with the devotion and edification of Scholers and other people for whom it was ordained without which edifying knowledge no service can be acceptable to God either in Cathedrall or Parish Churches 25 In the foresaid Injunction for 6 a clock Prayer 5 clauses are conteined against every one of which our new fangled Durhamers have notoriously offended they have overthrown and turned upside down the whole frame and form of all forenoon Services confounding the ordinary Service at 10 a clock with the 6 a clock Prayer and bringing in a new found second Service to be said alone without a first at the ordinarie accustomed houres of the day by which they have depraved the whole book of Common Prayer and the Rubricks thereof 26 Concerning the first of which five in Durham Cathedrall the Divine Service called in this Injunction the ordinary Morning Praier hath not been kept at convenient and due houres the usuall time whereof was all the time of Queen Eliz. and King James between the houres of nine and eleven but our brainsick Innovators of Durham removed the ordinary Service to 8 a clock and so it continued about a yeer and all that time they had 3 forenoon Services one at 6. another at 8. and a third at 10. of the clock afterwards upon better advice because three Services in one forenoon were tedious they took quite away the plain and best Morning Prayer appointed by this Injunction and put in place thereof the ordinary Divine Service and called the people thereunto by the ringing of three Bels to which not 3 persons usually resorted especially in Winter time and dark mornings 27 The ordinary Morning Prayer called the Mattens and Divine Service in the foresaid Injunction which appoints it to be said at due and convenient houres that is between the houres of nine and eleven according to the custome and practise of all Churches is that which is ordained in the book of Common Prayer the Rubricks prescribing the manner of saying the same for time place order and fashion of rights and Ceremonies without alteration according to the Cannon of our Church Observabunt ordines ritus desoriptos in libro publicar●m precum tam in legendis sacris Scripturis precibus dicendis quam etiam in administrations Sacramentorum ut nov● detrahant aliquid neve addant neve de materia neve de forma Again the 14. Cannon saith all Ministers shall observe the orders and Ceremonies prescribed in the book of Common Prayer without either adding or diminishing any thing in matter or form Our seditious Innovators of Durham have not observed the orders and rights
