and of this Realme they are commanded yet the wiues children and family of many of those reformed Recusants doe notwithstanding still continue obstinate and will not be drawne eyther by the example of the husband parent or master nor by any other godly perswasion or conference to doe and performe what to them euery of them in a Christian dutie to God the Prince belongeth For reformation whereof the Minister Churchwardens and Sworn-men are to take a true note and particular of euery such person in those families as shall refuse to come to Church or to receiue the Sacraments being of lawfull age and hauing no iust impediment shall accordingly present them 4 The infection of Recusancy being the very fruit and badge of Antichristian irreligon hath béene a surfet so long and dangerous in this Kingdome as by the daily increase of such as affect those dregs of Popery the disease and contagion séemeth in it selfe incurable and the rather for that the seuerall houses of Recusants here infected for the better strengthning of that cause as is supposed Marriages of Recusants and their children not publikely solemnized to be presented doe vsually couple and ioyne themselues in Matrimonie together and so are growne by that vnion and coniunction to a great strength and kindred now for as much as these marriages are most times in priuate houses celebrated without any publike licence or banes asking and the Children likewise begotten betwixt such persons are seldome or not at all in publike baptized It is thought fit and very conuenient that the Minister and Churchwardens of euery Parish doe very carefully informe themselues of all such marriages so supposed to be had and of all such Children so baptized that the seuerall persons herein Culpable may be presented and compelled to prooue by lawfull testimony their seuerall marriages that their Children are baptized according to the Ordinances of the Church now established or otherwise to endure such punishment and penalty as by the lawes Ecclesiasticall of this Realme in such case is religiously prouided the law it self requiring a due and perfect register continually to bee kept by the Minister and Churchwardens of all marriages and Christenings had within the Parish and to be yearely sent into the Bishops Register there to be recorded 5 Now for the auoyding of the future euill which may happen in such case it is required that the Churchwardens and sworn-men of euery Parish doe inquire and informe themselues what Ministers other then ehe Parochiall Minister doth vsually celebrate diuine seruice Strange Ministers and Scholemasters frequenting the houses of Recusants to be presented administer the Sacraments and performe other Church Offices in those priuate Families and whether the said person so executing such offices bée a Minister licensed and haue subscribed to the Articles of Religion and if not to present him further what schoolemasters the said families being noted for Recusancy haue to teach their Childrē and what license the said schoolemāsters haue so to doe for that many transformed Iesuites and Seminaries vnder the name and colour of schoolemasters doe vsually frequent such places and in the Cloake and couert thereof doe exercise al their superstitious seruice and Idolatrous practises 6 For as much as some pretēd haue informed as it séemeth the Kings most excellent Maiestie and the Honorable Lords other of his Highnes priuy Councel All excommunicate Recusants vpon Oath for conformitie to be absolued that sundry Recusants being excōmunicate persons would willingly come to the Church receiue the Sacramēt in case they might obtaine their absolution from the sentēce of excommunication inflicted it is thought fit hereby required that the Ministers of euery Parish Chappel or Hamlet within this Dioces doe forthwith or so soone as with conueniency they may giue publike notice in the Church or otherwise to the persons thēselues or at their mansion houses that if they will come to the Ordinary who did excommunicate them or being not able to come will procure commission to bee granted for their better ease to their particular Minister and take oath for their after-conformitie they shall bee absolued without fée so as they haue commited no other offence which doth deserue some publike reformation or satisfaction to the congregation 7 Lastly for as much as Schisme and deuision in Religion and in the Ceremonies of the Church hath doth much disturbe the peaceable gouernment of the same One vniforme order of Common prayer c. wherein default is to be presented and doth likewise giue great occasion to the professed enemies of Gods truth thereby to withdraw the people and such as are weake from the Religion doctrine discipline of the Church now established for that we are not as they pretend vnto them at vnitie within our selues it is very necessary and behouefull that sithence it hath pleased the Kings most excellent Maiestie by his late Canons exemplified vnder the broad seale of England to decrée and set downe that one vniforme order in the execution of diuine seruice and in the administration of the Sacraments of apparel as of Church ornaments and Ceremonies should be vsed by the Cleargie of this Kingdome as well in the publike execution of those their particular offices as in other their outward conuersation and behauiour that the same be accordingly vsed and prouided or else that the Church wardens doe present whether the fault bee in the Minister who will not weare the same or in the Parishioners who will not prouide those ornaments necessary and commaunded Articles to be enquired of within the Archdeaconrie of Leicester INprimis whether the Church of your Parish Double benefices bee now vacant and destitute of an
