the_o party_n that_o before_o have_v be_v offend_v and_o the_o solemnisation_n of_o the_o latter_a marriage_n must_v be_v in_o the_o open_a face_n of_o the_o kirk_n like_v as_o the_o former_a but_o without_o proclamation_n of_o band_n this_o we_o do_v offer_v as_o the_o best_a counsel_n that_o god_n give_v unto_o we_o in_o so_o doubt_v some_o a_o case_n but_o the_o most_o perfect_a reformation_n be_v if_o your_o honour_n will_v give_v to_o god_n his_o honour_n and_o glory_n that_o you_o will_v prefer_v his_o express_a commandment_n to_o your_o own_o corrupt_a judgement_n especial_o in_o

shall_v be_v rid_v of_o innumerable_a trouble_n we_o mean_v not_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o our_o former_a blindness_n which_o be_v almost_o bury_v in_o oblivion_n shall_v be_v call_v again_o to_o

deceive_v your_o soul_n and_o provoke_v you_o to_o offend_v god_n majesty_n of_o burial_n burial_n in_o all_o age_n have_v be_v hold_v in_o estimation_n to_o signify_v that_o the_o same_o body_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o earth_n shall_v not_o utter_o perish_v but_o shall_v rise_v again_o and_o the_o same_o we_o will_v have_v keep_v within_o this_o realm_n provide_v that_o

and_o all_o other_o prayer_n over_o or_o for_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v not_o only_o superstitious_a and_o vain_a but_o also_o be_v idolatry_n and_o do_v repugn_v to_o the_o plain_a scripture_n of_o god_n for_o plain_a it_o be_v that_o every_o one_o that_o die_v depart_v either_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n jesus_n or_o depart_v in_o incredulity_n plain_o it_o be_v that_o they_o that_o depart_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o christ_n jesus_n rest_n from_o their_o labour_n and_o from_o death_n do_v go_v to_o life_n everlasting_a as_o by_o our_o master_n and_o his_o apostle_n we_o be_v teach_v but_o whosoever_o depart_v in_o unbelief_n or_o in_o incredulity_n shall_v never_o see_v life_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o we_o say_v that_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o only_o superstitious_a and_o vain_a but_o do_v express_o repugn_v to_o the_o manifest_a scripture_n and_o verity_n thereof_o for_o avoid_v of_o all_o inconvenience_n we_o judge_v it_o best_o that_o neither_o sing_n nor_o read_v be_v at_o burial_n for_o albeit_o thing_n sing_v and_o read_v may_v admonish_v some_o of_o the_o living_n to_o prepare_v themselves_o for_o death_n yet_o shall_v some_o superstitious_a think_v that_o sing_n and_o read_v of_o the_o live_a may_v profit_v the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o we_o think_v it_o most_o expedient_a that_o the_o dead_a be_v convey_v to_o the_o place_n of_o burial_n with_o some_o honest_a company_n of_o the_o kirk_n without_o either_o sing_n or_o read_v yea_o without_o all_o kind_n of_o ceremony_n heretofore_o use_v other_o than_o that_o the_o dead_a be_v commit_v to_o the_o grave_n with_o such_o gravity_n and_o sobriety_n as_o those_o that_o be_v present_a may_v seem_v to_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o to_o hate_v sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o death_n we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o some_o require_v a_o sermon_n at_o the_o burial_n or_o else_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v read_v to_o put_v the_o live_n in_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v mortal_a and_o that_o likewise_o they_o must_v die_v but_o let_v these_o man_n understand_v that_o the_o sermon_n which_o be_v daily_o make_v serve_v for_o that_o use_n which_o if_o man_n despise_v the_o funeral_n sermon_n shall_v rather_o nourish_v superstition_n and_o a_o false_a opinion_n as_o before_o be_v say_v then_o that_o they_o shall_v bring_v such_o person_n to_o a_o godly_a consideration_n of_o their_o own_o estate_n attour_n either_o shall_v the_o minister_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v occupy_v in_o funeral_n sermon_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v have_v respect_n of_o person_n preach_v at_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o rich_a and_o honourable_a but_o keep_v silence_n when_o the_o poor_a and_o despise_a depart_v and_o this_o with_o safe_a conscience_n can_v the_o minister_n do_v for_o see_v that_o before_o god_n there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o that_o their_o ministry_n appertain_v to_o all_o alike_o whatsoever_o they_o do_v to_o the_o rich_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o ministry_n the_o same_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v to_o the_o poor_a under_o their_o charge_n in_o respect_n of_o divers_a inconvenience_n we_o think_v it_o neither_o seemly_a that_o the_o kirk_n appoint_v to_o preach_v and_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v make_v a_o place_n of_o burial_n but_o that_o some_o other_o secret_a and_o convenient_a place_n lie_v in_o the_o most_o free_a air_n be_v appoint_v for_o that_o use_n which_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v wall_v and_o fence_v about_o and_o keep_v for_o that_o use_n only_o for_o reparation_n of_o the_o kirk_n jest_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n by_o unseemlinesse_n of_o the_o place_n come_v in_o contempt_n of_o necessity_n it_o be_v that_o the_o kirk_n and_o place_n where_o the_o people_n ought_v public_o to_o convene_v be_v with_o expedition_n repair_v with_o
