his_o grace_n the_o lord_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n letter_n to_o the_o reverend_n dr._n batteley_n archdeacon_n of_o that_o dioecese_n to_o be_v communicate_v to_o the_o clergy_n of_o his_o archdeaconry_n reverend_a sir_n my_o write_n to_o you_o at_o this_o time_n be_v occasion_v by_o a_o sensible_a growth_n of_o vice_n and_o profaneness_n in_o the_o nation_n which_o to_o the_o great_a affliction_n of_o all_o good_a man_n appear_v not_o only_o in_o the_o corrupt_a practice_n of_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o endeavour_n that_o be_v use_v to_o subvert_v the_o general_a principle_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n and_o this_o with_o a_o boldness_n and_o openness_n far_o beyond_o the_o example_n of_o past_a time_n so_o that_o if_o a_o speedy_a stop_n be_v not_o put_v to_o such_o national_a provocation_n we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_n they_o may_v bring_v down_o the_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o the_o prevent_v whereof_o belong_v more_o immediate_o to_o we_o who_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o such_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o utmost_a care_n and_o watchfulness_n in_o oppose_v these_o instrument_n of_o satan_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o of_o the_o parochial_a clergy_n be_v sufficient_o sensible_a both_o of_o their_o own_o duty_n and_o the_o danger_n we_o be_v in_o in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n and_o other_o place_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o good_a effect_n of_o their_o diligence_n have_v be_v very_o evident_a of_o late_a year_n but_o in_o some_o part_n that_o be_v more_o remote_a all_o of_o they_o may_v not_o so_o well_o understand_v either_o the_o art_n or_o the_o industry_n of_o these_o enemy_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o the_o station_n wherein_o providence_n have_v place_v i_o to_o desire_v of_o you_o to_o warn_v the_o clergy_n of_o your_o archdeaconry_n of_o these_o attempt_n against_o religion_n and_o virtue_n and_o to_o excite_v they_o to_o a_o diligence_n proportionable_a to_o the_o danger_n and_o to_o suggest_v to_o they_o such_o method_n as_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o work_v a_o general_n reformation_n with_o this_o request_n i_o send_v you_o such_o particular_n as_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v very_o necessary_a to_o be_v press_v upon_o the_o clergy_n for_o the_o attain_n so_o desirable_a a_o end_n as_o i._o that_o in_o their_o own_o life_n and_o the_o government_n of_o their_o own_o family_n they_o will_v make_v themselves_o example_n of_o a_o sober_a and_o regular_a conversation_n it_o be_v the_o apostle_n reason_v if_o a_o man_n know_v not_o how_o to_o rule_v his_o own_o house_n and_o much_o more_o his_o own_o life_n and_o action_n how_o shall_v he_o take_v care_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n the_o true_a method_n of_o work_v a_o reformation_n abroad_o be_v to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n at_o home_n which_o alone_o can_v give_v our_o reproof_n a_o just_a weight_n and_o authority_n but_o till_o that_o be_v do_v no_o exhortation_n whether_o in_o public_a or_o private_a can_v either_o be_v offer_v with_o decency_n or_o receive_v with_o reverence_n ii_o to_o piety_n they_o shall_v add_v prudence_n in_o all_o their_o action_n and_o behaviour_n which_o even_o in_o private_a christian_n be_v a_o great_a ornament_n to_o religion_n but_o in_o public_a teacher_n be_v a_o most_o necessary_a qualification_n for_o the_o due_a discharge_n of_o their_o ministry_n a_o mildness_n of_o temper_n with_o a_o gravity_n and_o calmness_n in_o their_o conversation_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o gain_v they_o a_o general_a love_n and_o esteem_v among_o their_o neighbour_n and_o a_o discreet_a caution_n in_o their_o word_n and_o action_n will_v preserve_v they_o from_o those_o little_a imprudence_n that_o be_v sometime_o so_o sensible_a a_o obstruction_n to_o the_o good_a endeavour_n of_o well-meaning_a men._n person_n in_o holy_a order_n be_v not_o only_o bind_v in_o the_o

and_o function_n abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o evil_n and_o give_v no_o offence_n in_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o ministry_n be_v not_o blame_v iii_o while_o our_o enemy_n be_v so_o very_o

that_o have_v be_v return_v to_o they_o by_o so_o many_o eminent_a writer_n of_o our_o own_o church_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v ready_a on_o all_o occasion_n to_o do_v justice_n and_o honour_n to_o our_o religion_n and_o be_v able_a to_o expose_v the_o folly_n and_o ignorance_n of_o these_o gainsay_n men._n the_o cause_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n be_v undoubted_o good_a but_o the_o best_a cause_n may_v suffer_v by_o the_o weakness_n of_o its_o advocate_n and_o when_o this_o happen_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n it_o give_v the_o adversary_n a_o occasion_n of_o

will_v agree_v upon_o frequent_a meeting_n to_o consult_v for_o the_o good_a of_o religion_n in_o general_n and_o to_o advise_v with_o one_o another_o about_o any_o difficulty_n that_o may_v happen_v in_o their_o particular_a cure_n by_o what_o method_n any_o evil_a custom_n may_v most_o easy_o be_v break_v how_o a_o sinner_n may_v be_v most_o effectual_o reclaim_v and_o in_o general_n how_o each_o of_o they_o in_o their_o several_a circumstance_n may_v contribute_v most_o to_o the_o advancement_n of_o religion_n such_o consultation_n as_o these_o beside_o the_o mutual_a benefit_n of_o advice_n and_o instruction_n will_v be_v a_o natural_a mean_n to_o excite_v the_o zeal_n of_o some_o to_o reduce_v the_o over-eagerness_n of_o other_o to_o a_o due_a temper_n and_o to_o provoke_v all_o to_o a_o religious_a emulation_n in_o the_o improvement_n of_o piety_n and_o order_n within_o their_o respective_a parish_n and_o these_o meeting_n may_v still_o be_v make_v a_o great_a

among_o the_o laity_n to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o most_o probable_a method_n that_o can_v be_v suggest_v for_o those_o good_a ends._n and_o we_o may_v very_o reasonable_o expect_v the_o happy_a effect_n of_o such_o a_o concurrence_n from_o the_o visible_a success_n of_o that_o noble_a zeal_n wherewith_o so_o many_o about_o the_o great_a city_n in_o my_o neighbourhood_n do_v promote_v true_a piety_n and_o a_o reformation_n of_o manner_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o that_o you_o will_v particular_o excite_v the_o clergy_n to_o the_o procure_v

since_o our_o lawgiver_n have_v enact_v these_o temporal_a punishment_n on_o purpose_n to_o assist_v we_o in_o the_o discharge_n of_o our_o ministry_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a fail_v in_o we_o
