public_o make_v child_n and_o simple_a person_n instruct_v in_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o religion_n and_o offence_n correct_v and_o punish_v these_o thing_n we_o say_v be_v so_o necessary_a that_o without_o the_o same_o there_o can_v be_v any_o face_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n the_o other_o sort_n be_v profitable_a but_o not_o mere_o necessary_a as_o that_o psalm_n be_v sing_v and_o certain_a

their_o own_o policy_n themselves_o yet_o in_o great_a town_n we_o think_v expedient_a that_o every_o day_n there_o be_v either_o sermon_n or_o common_a prayer_n with_o some_o exercise_n of_o read_v the_o scripture_n the_o day_n of_o public_a sermon_n we_o do_v not_o think_v the_o common-prayer_n needful_a to_o be_v use_v lest_o we_o shall_v foster_v the_o people_n in_o superstition_n who_o come_v to_o the_o prayer_n as_o they_o come_v to_o the_o mass_n or_o give_v they_o occasion_n to_o think_v that_o those_o be_v no_o prayer_n which_o be_v conceive_v before_o and_o after_o sermon_n in_o every_o famous_a town_n we_o require_v that_o one_o day_n beside_o the_o sunday_n be_v appoint_v for_o sermon_n during_o the_o time_n whereof_o man_n must_v abstain_v from_o all_o exercise_n of_o trade_n and_o labour_v the_o servant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o master_n in_o small_a town_n such_o order_n must_v be_v keep_v as_o the_o church_n within_o the_o same_o shall_v appoint_v but_o the_o sunday_n in_o all_o town_n must_v precise_o be_v observe_v before_o and_o after_o noon_n before_o noon_n the_o word_n must_v be_v preach_v sacrament_n administer_v and_o marriage_n solemnize_v when_o

minister_n must_v have_v care_n to_o cause_v the_o people_n understand_v the_o question_n propound_v with_o the_o answer_n and_o doctrine_n that_o may_v be_v collect_v thereof_o what_o order_n shall_v be_v keep_v in_o teach_v the_o catechism_n and_o how_o much_o thereof_o every_o sunday_n shall_v be_v handle_v the_o distinction_n of_o the_o catechism_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a that_o ever_o be_v yet_o use_v in_o any_o church_n do_v show_v where_o there_o be_v neither_o preach_v nor_o catechism_n upon_o sunday_n at_o afternoon_n the_o common-prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v it_o appertain_v to_o every_o church_n to_o appoint_v the_o time_n when_o the_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v minister_v baptism_n may_v be_v minister_v whensoever_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v but_o we_o think_v it_o more_o expedient_a that_o the_o same_o be_v minister_v upon_o sunday_n and_o when_o occasion_n be_v offer_v of_o great_a travel_n before_o noon_n the_o same_o may_v be_v minister_v in_o the_o afternoon_n upon_o the_o week_n day_n only_o after_o the_o sermon_n partly_o to_o remove_v that_o gross_a error_n which_o may_v hold_v that_o child_n die_v without_o baptism_n be_v damn_v partly_o that_o the_o people_n may_v assist_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n with_o great_a reverence_n then_o common_o they_o do_v four_o time_n in_o the_o year_n we_o think_v sufficient_a for_o administration_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n which_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v so_o distinguish_v that_o the_o superstitious_a observation_n of_o time_n may_v be_v avoid_v so_o far_o as_o may_v be_v for_o it_o be_v know_v how_o superstitious_o people_n run_v unto_o that_o action_n upon_o easter_n as_o if_o time_n give_v virtue_n to_o the_o sacrament_n when_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a year_n they_o be_v careless_a and_o negligent_a as_o though_o it_o belong_v not_o unto_o they_o but_o at_o that_o time_n only_o therefore_o we_o think_v it_o expedient_a that_o the_o first_o sunday_n of_o march_n yearly_o be_v keep_v for_o one_o day_n to_o that_o service_n the_o first_o sunday_n of_o june_n for_o another_o the_o first_o sunday_n of_o september_n for_o the_o three_o and_o the_o first_o sunday_n of_o december_n for_o the_o four_o albeit_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o every_o church_n for_o reasonable_a cause_n may_v change_v the_o time_n and_o minister_v the_o same_o often_o yet_o we_o think_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n ought_v never_o to_o be_v minister_v without_o examination_n precede_v chief_o of_o those_o who_o be_v know_v or_o suspect_v to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o that_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o that_o holy_a mystery_n who_o can_v formal_o say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n the_o article_n of_o the_o belief_n declare_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n and_o understand_v the_o use_n and_o virtue_n of_o that_o holy_a sacrament_n we_o also_o think_v necessary_a that_o every_o church_n have_v a_o bible_n in_o english_a and_o that_o the_o people_n convene_v to_o hear_v the_o scripture_n read_v and_o interpret_v that_o by_o frequent_a read_n and_o hear_v the_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o the_o people_n may_v be_v remove_v and_o we_o judge_v it_o most_o expedient_a that_o the_o scripture_n be_v read_v in_o order_n that_o be_v that_o some_o one_o book_n of_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n be_v begin_v and_o follow_v forth_o to_o the_o end_n the_o like_a we_o esteem_v of_o preach_v if_o the_o minister_n remain_v for_o the_o most_o part_n at_o one_o place_n for_o the_o divagation_n from_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o another_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o read_v or_o preach_v we_o account_v not_o so_o profitable_a for_o the_o church_n as_o the_o continual_a follow_v of_o one_o text._n the_o master_n of_o family_n must_v be_v command_v to_o instruct_v or_o cause_n to_o be_v instruct_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n in_o the_o principle_n of_o christian_a religion_n without_o the_o knowledge_n whereof_o they_o may_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n wherefore_o we_o think_v it_o needful_a that_o every_o year_n at_o least_o the_o minister_n take_v trial_n by_o public_a examination_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o every_o person_n within_o the_o church_n and_o that_o every_o master_n and_o mistress_n present_v themselves_o and_o so_o many_o of_o their_o family_n as_o be_v come_v to_o mature_a age_n before_o the_o minister_n and_o elder_n to_o give_v confession_n of_o their_o faith_n rehearse_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o declare_v what_o be_v their_o understanding_n in_o those_o thing_n if_o any_o shall_v suffer_v their_o child_n or_o servant_n to_o remain_v in_o wilful_a ignorance_n the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n must_v be_v use_v against_o they_o unto_o excommunication_n and_o then_o the_o person_n refer_v to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o see_v the_o just_a man_n live_v by_o his_o own_o faith_n and_o that_o christ_n jesus_n justify_v by_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o it_o be_v intolerable_a that_o any_o shall_v be_v permit_v to_o live_v as_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o to_o continue_v in_o ignorance_n moreover_o all_o person_n will_v be_v exhort_v to_o exercise_v themselves_o in_o the_o psalm_n that_o when_o the_o church_n conven_v and_o the_o psalm_n be_v sing_v
