Ordinaries do exhibite vnto our visitours theyr bookes or a true copy of the same conteynynge the causes why any person was imprysoned famyshed or put to death for religion Item that in euery paryshe three or foure discrete men which tender Gods glory and hys true Religion shal be appoynted by the Ordynaries diligently to see that all the paryshyoners duely resort to theyr Churche vppon all Sundayes and holy dayes and there to contynue the whole tyme of the Godly seruyce And all suche as shal be founde stacke or negligent in resortynge to the Churche hauynge no greate nor vrgent cause of absence they shall strayghtly call vppon them and after due monicion yf they amende not they shall denounce them to the Ordinary Item that the Churchwardens of euery paryshe shal delyuer vnto our visitours the inuentories of vestmentes copes and other ornamentes plate bokes and specially of Grayles Couchers Legendes Processionalles Hymnalles Manuelles Portuesses and such lyke apperteynyng to theyr Church Item that weekely vppon Wednesdayes and Frydayes not beynge holy dayes the curate at the accustomed houres of seruyce shall resort to Churche and cause warnyng to be geuen to the people by knollyng of the bell and saye the Letany and prayers Item because dyuers Collegiate and also some paryshe Churches heretofore there hath ben lyuynges appoynted for the mayntenaunce of menne and chyldren to vse syngynge in the Churche by meanes whereof the lawdable scyence of musicke hath ben had in estimation and preserued in knowledge The Quenes Maiestie neyther meanynge in any wyse the decaye of any thynge that myght conueniently tende to the vse and continuaunce of the sayde science neyther to haue the same in any parte so abused in the Churche that thereby the common prayer shoulde be the worse vnderstande of the hearers Wylleth and commaundeth that fyrst no alteration be made of such assignementes of lyuynge as heretofore hath bene appoynted to the vse of syngynge or musycke in the Churche but that the same so remayne And that there bee a modeste and destyncte songe so vsed in all partes of the common prayers in the Churche that the same may be as playnely vnderstanded as yf it were read without synging And yet neuerthelesse for the comforting of such as delite in musicke it maye be permytted that in the beginninge or in th end of common prayers eyther at mornynge or euenynge there may be songe an hymne or suche lyke songe to the prayse of almyghty God in the beste sort of melodye and musicke that maye be conueniently deuysed hauynge respecte that the sentence of the hymne maye bee vnderstanded and perceyued Item because in al alteracions and specially in rytes and Ceremonies there happeneth dyscorde emonges the people and thervpon slaunderous wordes and raylynges wherby charitie the knot of all christian societie is loosed The Quenes Maiestie beyng moste desyrous of al other earthly thynges that her people shoulde lyue in charitie both towardes God and man and therein abounde in good woorkes wylleth and straightly commaundeth al maner her subiectes to forbeare al vayne and contencious disputacions in matters of Religion and not to vse in despite or rebuke of any person these conuitious wordes papist or papisticall hereticke scismaticke or sacramentary or any suche lyke wordes of reproche But yf any maner of person shall deserue the accusation of anye suche that fyrste he bee charitablye admonysshed thereof And yf that shall not amende hym then to denounce the offendours to the Ordinary or to some higher power hauing aucthoritie to correcte the same Item because there is a great abuse in the printers of bokes which for couetousnes chiefly regard not what thei print so they may haue gayne whereby arryseth great disorder by publication of vnfruitfull vayne and infamous bokes and papers The Quenes maiestie straitly chargeth and commaundeth that no maner of person shall print any maner of boke or paper of what sorte nature or in what language soeuer it be except the same be first licensed by her maiestie by expresse wordes in writing or by .vi. of her priuie counsel or be perused licensed by the archbyshops of Cantorbury and yorke the byshop of London the Chauncelours of both vniuersities the bishop beyng Ordinary the Archdeacon also of the place where anye suche shal be printed or by two of them wherof the ordinary of the place to be alwayes one And that the names of such as shal alowe the same to be added in th ende of euery such worke for a testimonye of the alowaunce thereof And because many pampheletes playes and balettes be often times printed wherin regard would be had that nothing therin should be eyther hereticall sedicious or vnsemely for Christian eares Her maiestie likewise commaundeth that no maner of person shall enterpryse to print any suche except the same be to him licensed by such her maiesties commissioners or .iii. of them as be appointed appoynted in the citie of London to heare and determine diuers causes ecclesiasticall tending to the execution of certayne statutes made the last parliament for vniformitie of order in religion And yf any shall sell or vtter any maner of bookes or papers beyng not licensed as is abouesaid that the same partie shal be punyshed by order of the sayde commissioners as to the qualitie of the fault shal be thought meete And touchyng all other bookes of matters of religion or policie or gouernaunce that hath bene prynted eyther on thisside the Seas or on thother side because the diuersitie of them is great and that there nedeth good consideration to be had of the particularities therof her Maiestie referreth the prohibition or permission thereof to thorder which her sayd commissioners within the citie of London shall take and notifie According to the which her Maiestie strayghtly commaundeth all maner her subiectes and specially the Wardens companye of Stacioners to be obedient Prouided that these orders do not extende to any prophane aucthours and workes in anye language that hath ben heretofore commonly receaued or allowed in anye the vniuersities or Scoles but the same may be prynted and vsed as by good order they were accustomed Item although almyghtie God is at all tymes to be honoured with all maner of reuerence that maye be deuysed yet of all other tymes in tyme of common prayer the same is most to be regarded Therfore it is to be necessarely receiued that in tyme of the Letany and of all other Collectes and common supplications to almyghty God all maner of people shall deuoutly and humbly knele vpon their knees and geue eare thereunto And that whensoeuer the name of Iesus shal be in any Lessō Sermon or otherwyse in the Church pronounced That due reuerence be made of all persons
