ACT against separation and disobedience to Ecclesiastical Authority FOrasmuch as the King's Majesty considering the prejudices which did ensue to the Church and Protestant Religion to the Prerogative of the Crown to the Authority of Parliament to the Liberties of the Subject and to the publick Laws and Peace of the Kingdom by the invasions made upon Episcopal Government during the late troubles and finding that Government to be the Church government most agreeable to the word of God most convenient and effectual for preservation of Truth Order and Unity and most suteable to Monarchy and to the Peace and Quiet of the State Hath therefore with advice and consent of his Estates of Parliament by several Acts past in the second Session of this Parliament restored the Church to it 's ancient and right Government by Archbishops and Bishops and hath redintigrated the estate of Bishops to the exercise of their Episcopal Function and to all the Priviledges Dignities Jurisdictions and Possessions due and formerly belonging thereunto And in further order to the settlement of the Church and bringing the Ministers to a due acknowledgment of and complyance with the Government thereof thus established by Law His Majesty with advice foresaid hath also Statute and Ordained That all these Ministers who entred to the Cure of any Paroch without Right or Presentations from the lawful Patron in and since the year one thousand six hundred and fourty nine and should not betwixt and the twentieth of September last obtain Presentations from their several Patrons and Collation from the Bishop of the Diocess where they lived should have no right to the uplifting the Rents of any Benefice or Stipend for the year one thousand six hundred and sixty two but that their Places Benefices and Kirks should be ipso jure vacand And that whatever Ministers should without a lawfull excuse to be admitted by their ordinary absent themselves from the diocesian Assembly or who should not concur in all the Acts of the Church-discipline as they should be thereunto required by the Archbishop or Bishop of the Diocess should be for the first fault suspended from their Office and Benefice till the next diocesian Meeting and if they amend not should be deprived and the Church and Benefice to be provided as in other cases of vacancies And the King's Majesty having resolved to conserve and maintain the Church in the present State and Government thereof by Archbishops and Bishops and others bearing office therein and not to endure nor give way or connivance to any variation therein in

further execution in all points conform to the tenor thereof And in pursuance of His Majesties Royal resolution herein His Majesty with advice aforesaid doth recommend to the Lords of His Majesties Privy Council to take speedy and effectual course that these Acts receive ready and due obedience from all His Majesties Subjects And for that end that they call before them all such Ministers who having entred in or since the year one thousand six hundred and fourty nine and have not as yet obtained Presentations and Collations as aforesaid yet dared to preach in contempt of the Law and to punish them as seditious persons and contemners of the Royal Authority As also that they be carefull that such Ministers who keep not the diocesian Meetings and concur not with the Bishops in the Acts of Church-discipline being for the same suspended or deprived as said is be accordingly after deprivation removed from their Benefices Glebs and manses and if any of them shall notwithstanding offer to retain the possession of their Benefices or Manses that they take present course to see them dispossest and if they shall thereafter presume to exercise their Ministry that they be punished as seditious persons and such as contemn the Authority of Church and State And as His Majesty doth expect from all His good and dutifull Subjects a due acknowledgment of and hearty complyance with His Majesties Government Ecclesiasticall and Civil as it is now established by Law within this Kingdom and that in order thereunto they will give their chearfull concurrence countenance and assistance to such Ministers as by publick Authority are or shall be admitted in their several Paroches and attend all the ordinary Meetings for divine Worship in the same So His Majesty doth Declare That He will and doth account a with-drawing from and not keeping and joyning in these Meetings to be seditious and of dangerous example and consequence And therefore and for preventing the same for the future His Majesty with advice and consent of His Estates in Parliament doth hereby Statute Ordain and Declare That all and every such person or persons who shall hereafter ordinarily and willfully withdraw and absent themselves from the ordinary Meetings of divine Worship in their own Paroch Church on the Lords day whether upon account of Popery or other disaffection to the present Government of the Church shall thereby incur the pains and penalties under-writren viz. Each Nobleman Gentleman and Heretor the loss of a fourth part of ilk years Rent in which they shall be accused and convicted and every Yeoman Tennent or Farmer the loss of such a proportion of their free moveables after the payment of their Rents due to their Master and Landlord as His Maejesties Council shall think fit not exceeding a fourth part thereof and every Burgess to lose the libertie of Merchandizing Trading and all other Priviledges within Burgh and fourth part of their moveables And His Majesty with advice foresaid doth hereby

foresaid to proceed in all Summons and Actions to be intended for that effect within the space of two years after the first down-sitting of the Commission And whereas it may fall out that some of the saids Commissioners may be unable to attend the service through death sickness or other known impediment Therefore His Majesty Declares that He shall be carefull to fill their places with other persons qualified whose oaths for faithfull discharge of the same shall be taken by the Lord Chancellor or in his absence by the President of the said Commission for the time And Ordains this present

Indempnity Pardon and Oblivion for all crimes and offences committed by them relating to the late troubles and more fully exprest in the tenth Act of the second Session of this Parliament And considering that besides these there be divers arbitrary and pecunial pains adjected to penal Statutes which being strictly exacted would prove an heavy burden to the Subjects who may be lyable thereto And His Majesty being desirous now at the close of this His first Parliament that all His good Subjects may find the effects of His mercy as to exceed all former presidents so to be beyond
