well done and according vnto due order concerning the baptizing of this childe which being borne in original sinne and in the wrath of God is now by the lauer of regeneration in baptisme receiued into the number of the children of God and heires of euerlasting life For our Lord Iesus Christ doeth not deny his grace and merey vnto such Infants but most louingly doeth call them vnto him as the holy Gospel doeth witnesse to our comfort on this wise AT a certaine time they brought children vnto Christ that he should touch them and his disciples rebuked those that brought them But when Iesus saw it Marke 10.13 he was displeased said vnto them Suffer little children to come vnto me and forbid them not for to such belongeth the kingdome of God Verely I say vnto you whosoeuer doeth not receiue the kingdome of God as a little childe hee shall not enter therein And when hee had taken them vp in his armes he put his hands vpon them and blessed them After the Gospel is read the Minister shall make this exhortation vpon the wordes of the Gospel FRiends you heare in this Gospel the words of our Sauiour Christ that the commanded the children to be brought vnto him how hee blamed those that would haue kept them from him how hee exhorted all men to follow their innocencie Yee perceiue how by his outward gesture and deede he declared his good will towarde them For hee embraced them in his armes he laide his hands vpon them and blessed them Doubt yee not therefore but earnestly beleeue that hee hath like wise fauourably receiued this present infant that hee hath imbraced him with the armes of his mercie that hee hath giuen vnto him the blessing of eternall life and made him partaker of his euerlasting kingdome Wherefore we being thus perswaded of the good will of our heauenly Father declared by his sonne Iesus Christ towards this infant let vs faithfully and deuoutly giue thanks vnto him say the prayer which the Lord himselfe thaught and in declaration of our faith let vs recite the Articles conteined in our Creede Here the Minister with the Godfathers and Godmothers shall say ¶ Our Father which art in heauen c. Then shall the Priest demaund the name of the childe which being by the Godfathers and Godmothers pronounced the Minister shall say Doest thou in the name of this child forsake the Deuil and all his workes the baine pompe and glory of the world with all the couetous desires of the same the carnall desires of the 〈◊〉 and not to follow and be led by them Answere I forsake them all Minister Doest thou in the name of this childe professe this faith to beleeue in God the Father Almightie maker of heauen and earth And in Iesus Christ his onely begotten sonne our Lord And that he was conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Marie that he suffered vnder Pontius Pilate was crucified dead and buried that he went downe into hel and also did rise againe the third day that hee ascended into heauen and fitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty and from thence he shal come againe at the end of the world to iudge the quicke and the dead And doe you in his name beleeue in the holy Ghost the holy Catholike Church the Communion of Saints the remission of sinnes reserrection and euerlasting life after death Answere All this I stedfastly beleeue Let vs pray ALmightie and euerlasting God heauently father wee giue thee humble thankes for that thou hast vouchsafed to call vs to the knowledge of thy grace and faith in thee Increase this knowledge confirme this faith in vs euermore giue thy holy spirite to this infant that hee being borne againe and being made heire ot euerlasting saluation through our Lord Iesus Christ may continue thy seruant attaine thy promise through the same our Lord Iesus Christ thy sonne who liueth and reigneth with thee in the vnitie of the same holy spirit euerlastingly Amen Then shall the Minister make this exhortation to the Godfathers and Godmothers FOrasmuch as this childe hath promised by you to forsake the deuill and all his workes to beleeue in God and to serue him you must remember that it is your part and duetie to see that this infant be taught so soone as he shall bee able to learne what a solemne vowe promise and profession he hath made by you And that he may know these things the better ye shall call vpon him to heare Sermons and chiefly you shall prouide that hee may learne the Creede the Lords Prayer and the ten commandements in the English tongue and all other things which a Christian man ought to know and beleeue to his soules health and that this childe may bee vertuously brought vp to lead a godly and a Christian life remembring alway that Baptisme doeth represent dnto vs our profession which is to follow the example of our Saniour Christ and bee made like vnto him that as hee died and rose againe for vs so should wee which are baptized die from sinne and rise againe vnto righteousnesse continually mortifying all our euill and corrupt affections and dayly proceeding in all vertue and godlinesse of liuing And so foorth as in Publique Baptisme But if they which bring the Infants to the Church doe make such vncertaine answeres to the Priests questions as that it cannot appeare that the childe was baptized with water In the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the Holy Ghost which are Essential parts of Baptisme then let the Priest baptize it in forme aboue written concerning Publique Baptisme sauing that at the dipping of the childe in the Font hec shall vse this forme of wordes IF thou be not already baptized N. I baptized thee in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost Amen ⧠The Order of Confirmation or laying on of hands vpon children baptized and able to render an account of their faith according to the Catechisme following TO the end that Confirmation may be ministred to the more edifying of such as shall receiue it according to Saint Pauls doctrine who teacheth that all things should be done in the Church to the edificatiō of the same it is thought good that none hereafter shall be Confirmed but such as can say in their mother tongue the Articles of the faith the Lords Prayer and the tenne Commandements and can also answere to such questions of this short Catechisme as the Bishop or such as he shall appoint shall by his discretion appose him in And this order is most conuenient to be obserued for diuers considerations First bccause that when children come to the yeeres of discretion and haue learned what their Godfathers and Godmothers promised for them in Baptisme they may then themselues with their owne mouth and with their owne consent openly before the Church ratifie and confirme the same and also promise

Paul giueth you this short lesson Ye wiues submit your selues vnto your owne husbands as it is conuenient in the Lord. Saint Peter also doth instruct you very godly thus saying Let wiues be subiect to their owne husbandes so that if any obey not the worde they may bee wonne without the worde by the conuersation of the wiues while they beholde your chaste conuersation coupled with feare Whole apparell let it not bee outward with broyded haire and trimming about with golde either in putting on of gorgeous apparell but let the hid man which is in the heart bee without all corruption so that the spirite be milde and quiet which is a precious thing in the sight of God For after this maner in the olde time did the holy women which trusted in God apparell themselues being subiect to their owne husbandes as Sara obeyed Abraham calling him Lord whose daughters yee are made doing well and not being dismayed with any feare The new married persons the same day of their marriage must receiue the holy Communion The order for the visitation of the sicke The Priest entring into the sicke persons house shall say ¶ Peace be in this house and to all that dwell in it When he commeth into the sicke mans presence he shall say kneeling downe REmember not Lorde our iniquities nor the iniquities of our forefathers Spare vs good Lord spare thy people whome thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood and bee not angry with vs for euer Lord haue mercie vpon vs. Christ haue mercie vpon vs. Lord haue mercie vpon vs. ¶ Our Father which art in heauen c.
