Then shall the Priest say WE yeeld thee heartie thanks most merciful father that it hath pleased thee to regenerate this infant with thy holy spirit to receiue him for thine owne child by adoption and to incorporate him into thy holy congregation And humbly wee beseech thee to graunt that he being dead vnto sinne and liuing vnto righteousnes and being buried with Christ in his death may crucifie the old man and vtterly abolish the whole body of sinne that as hee is made partaker of the death of thy sonne so he may be partaker of his resurrection so that finally with the residâ—e of thy holy Congregation hee may be inheritout of thine euerlasting kingdome through Christ our Lord Amen At the last ende the Priest calling the Godfathers and Godmothers together shall say this exhortation following FOrasmuch as these children haue promised by you to forsake the deuil and at his workes to beleeue in God and to serue him you must remember that it is your parts and dueties to see that these infants be taught so soone as they shall bee able to learne what a solemne vowe promise and profession they haue made by you And that they may know these things the better ye shall call vpon them to heare Sermons and chiefly you shall prouide that they may learne the Creede the Lords prayer and 〈◊〉 ten Commaundements in the English tongue and all other things which a Christian man ought to know and beleeue to his soules health and that these children may bee vertuously brought vp to leade a godly and a Christian life remembring alwayes that Baptisme doeth represent vnto vs our profession which is to follow the example of our Sauiour Christ and to be made like vnto him that as he died and rose againe for vs so should wee which are baptized die from sinne and rise againe vnto righteousnes continually mortifying all our euil and corrupt affections and dayly proceeding in all bertue and godlinesse of liuing The Minister that command that the children be brought to the Bishop to be confirmed of him so soone as they can say in their vulgar tongue the Articles of the faith the Lords prayer and the ten Commandements and be further instructed in the Catechisme set forth for that purpose according as it is there expressed ¶ Of them that are to be baptized in priuate houses in time of necessitie by the Minister of the Parish or any other lawfull Minister that can be procured The Pastours and Curates shall often admonish the people that they deferre not the Baptisme of Infants any longer then the Sunday or other Holy day next after the childe be borne vnlesse vpon a great and reasonable cause declared to the Curate and by him approued And also they shall warne them that without great cause necessitie they procure not their children to be baptized at home in their houses And when great need shall compell them so to do then Baptisme shal be administred on this fashion First let the lawfull Minister and them that be present call vpon God for his grace and say the Lords prayer if the time wil suffer And then the child being named by some one that is present the said lawfull Minister shal dip it in water or powre water vpon it saying these words N I baptize thee in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost Amen And let them not doubt but that the childe so baptized is lawfully and sufficiently baptized and ought not to be baptized againe But yet neuerthelesse if the child which is after this sort baptized doe afterward liue it is expedient that it bee brought into the Church to the intent that if the Priest or Minister of the same parish did himselfe baptize that childe the Congregation may be certified of the true forme of Baptisme by him priuately before vsed Or if the childe were baptized by any other lawfull Minister that then the Minister of the Parish where the childe was borne or Christened shall examine and try whether the childe be lawfully baptized or no. In which case if those that bring any childe to the Church doe answere that the same childe is already baptized then shall the Minister examine them further saying By whom was the childe baptized Who was present when childe was baptized And because some things Essentiall to this Sacrament may happen to be omitteb through feare or haste in such times of extremitie therefore I demaund further of you With what matter was the child baptized With what words was the child baptized Whether thinke you the childe to bee lawfully and perfectly baptized And if the Minister shall finde by the answeres of such as bring the childe that all things were done as they ought to be then shall not he Christen the childe againe but shall receiue him as one of the slocke of the true Christian people saying thus I Certifie you that in this case all is

O Giue thankes vnto the Lord Morning prayer and call vpon his name tell the people what things he hath done O let your songs be of him and praise him and let your talking be of all his wonderous workes Reioyce in his holy Name let the heart of them reioyce that seek the Lord. Seeke the Lord his strength seeke his face euermore Remember the marueilous works that he hath done his wonders and the indgements of his mouth O ye seede of Abraham his seruant ye children of Iacob his chosen Hee is the Lorde our God his iudgements are in all the world He hath bene alway mindfull of his couenant and promise that he made to a thousand generations Euen the couenant that he made with Abraham and the other that he sware vnto Isahac And appointed the same vnto Iacob for a law and to Israel for an euerlasting testament Saying Vnto thee will I giue the land of Chanaan the lot of your inheritance When there were yet but a fewe of them and they strangers in the land What time as they went from one nation to another from one kingdome to another people He suffered no man to doe them wrong but reproued euen kings for their sakes Touch not mine anoynted doe my Prophets no harme Moreouer hee called for a dearth vpon the land and destroyed all the prouision of bread But hee had sent a man before them euen Ioseph which was solde to be a bond seruant Whose feete they hurt in the stockes the yron entred into his soule Until the time came that his cause was knowen the
them So they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble and he deliuered them from their distresse He led them foorth by the right way that they might go to the citie where they dwelt O that men would therfore praise the Lord for his goodnes and declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men For hee satisfieth the emptie soule and filleth the hungrie soule with goodnesse Such as sit in darknesse and in the shadow of death being fast bound in miserie and yron Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord and lightly regarded the counsaile of the most high Hee also brought downe their heart through heauinesse they fell downe and there was none to helpe them vp So when they cried vnto the Lorde in their trouble hee deliuered them out of their distresse For he brought them out of darkenesse and out of the shadow of death and brake their bonds in sunder O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men For he hath broken the gates of brasse smitten the barres of yron in sunder Foolish men are plagued for their offence and because of their wickednesse Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate and they were euen hard at deaths doore So when they cryed vnto the Lord in their trouble he deliuered them out of their distresse He sent his worde and healed them and they were saued from their destruction O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men That they would offer vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgiuing and tell out his workes with gladnesse They that goe downe to the sea in ships and occupie their businesse in great waters These men see the workes of the Lord and his wonders in the deepe For at his word the stormie winde ariseth which lifteth vp the waues thereof They are caried vp to the heauen and downe againe to the deepe their soule melteth away because of the trouble They reele to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits end So when they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble he deliueâ—th them out of their distresse For he maketh the storme to cease so that the waues thereof are still Then are they glad because they be at rest and so he bringeth them vnto the hauen where they would be O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men Thâ—â— they would exaâ— him also in the Congregation of the people and prayse him in the seate of the elders Which turneth the floods into a wildernesse and drieth vp the water springs A fruitfull land maketh hee barren for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein Againe he maketh the wildernesse a standing water and water springs of a drie ground And there he setteth the hungry that they may build them a citie to dwell in That they may sowe their land and plant vineyardes to yeeld them fruits of increase He blesseth them so that that they multiplie exceedingly suffereth not their cattell to decrease And againe when they are minished and brought lowe through oppression through any plague or trouble Though hee suffer them to bee euill entreated through tyrants and let them wander out of the way in the wildernes Yet helpeth hee the poore out of miserie and maketh him housholds like a flocke of sheepe The righteous will consider this reioyce and the mouth of all wickednesse shal be stopped Who so is wise will ponder these things and they shall vnderstand the louing kindnesse of the Lord. Paratum cormeum Psal 108.

HOld not thy tongue O God of my praise for the mouth of the vngodly yea and the mouth of the deceitfull is opened vpon me And they haue spoken against me with false tongues they compassed me about also with wordes of hatred and fought against me without a cause For the loue that I had vnto them loe they take now my contrary part but I giue my selfe vnto prayer Thus haue they rewarded me euill for good and hatred for my good will Set thou an vngodly man to bee ruler ouer him and let Satan stand at his right hand When sentence is giuen vpon him let him be condemned and let his prayer be turned into sinne Let his dayes be fewe and let another take his office Let his children be fatherlesse and his wife a widow Let his children bee vagabonds and beg their bread let them seeke it also out of desolate places Let the extortioner consume all that hee hath and let the stranger spoile his labour Let there bee no man to pitie him nor to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children Let his posteritie be destroyed and in the next generation let his name be cleane put out Let the wickednesse of his fathers be hab in remembrance in the sight of the Lord and let not the sinne of his mother be done away Let them alway be before the Lord that he may roote out the memoriall of them from of the earth And that because his minde was not to doe good but persecuted the poore helpelesse man that he might slay him that was vexed at the heart His delight was in cursing and it shall happen vnto him he loued not blessing therefore shall it be farre from him Hee clothed himselfe with cursing like as with a rayment and it shall come into his bowels like water and like oyle into his bones Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him and as the girdle that he is alway girded withall Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto mine
vuto me We will goe into the house of the Lord. Our seete shall stand in thy gates O Hierusalem Hierusalem is builded as a citie that is at vnitie in it selfe For thither the tribes goe vp euen the tribes of the Lord to testifie vnto Israel to giue thankes vnto the Name of the Lord. For there is the seate of iudgement euen the seate of the house of Dauid O pray for the peate of Ierusalem they shall prosper that loue thee Peace bee within thy walles and plentconsuesse within thy palaces For my brethren and companions sakes I will with thee prosperitie Yea because of the house of the Lord our God I wil seeke to doe thee good Ad te leuaui oculos meos Psal 123. VNto thee lift I vp mine eyes O thou that dwellest in the heauens Beholde euen as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistresse euen so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntill he haue mercie vpon vs. Haue mercie vpon vs O Lord haue mercie vpon vs for we are vtterly despised Our soule is filled with the scornefnll reproofe of the wealthy and with the dispitefulnesse of the proud Nisi quia Dominus Psal 124. IF the Lorde himselfe had not bene on our side now may Israel say if the Lorde himselfe had not bene on one side when men rose vp against vs. They had swallowed vs vp quicke when they were so wrathfully displeased at vs. Yea the waters had drowned vs and the streame had gone ouer our soule The deepe waters of the proude had gone euen ouer our soule But praised be the Lord which hath not giuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth Our soule is escaped euen as a bird out of the snare of the fouler the snare is broken and we are deliuered Our helpe standeth in the Name of the Lord which hath made heauen and earth Qui confidunt Psal 125. They that put their trust in the Lord shall be euen as the mount Sion which may not be remooued but standeth fast for euer The his stand about Hierusalem euen so standeth the Lord round about his people from this time foorth for euermore For the rod of the vngodly commeth not into the lot of the righteous least the righteous put their hand vnto wickednesse Doe well O Lord vnto those that be good and true of heart As for such as turne backe vnto their owne wickednesse the Lord shall lead them forth with the euill doers but peace shall be vpon Israel In conuertendo Psal 126. WHen the Lord turned againe the captiuitie of Sion Euening prayer then were we like vnto them that dsreame Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with ioy Then said they among the Heathen the Lord hath done great things for them Yea the Lorde hath done great things for vs alreadie whereof we reioyce Turne our captiuity O Lord as the riuers in the South They that sowe in teares shall reape in ioy He that now goeth on his way weeping and beareth forth good seede shall doubtlesse come againe with ioy and bring his sheaues with him Nisi Dominus Psal 127. Except the Lorde build the house their labour is but lost that build it Except the Lord keepe the city the watchman waketh but in baine It is but lost labour that yee haste to rise vp earely and so late take rest and eate the bread of carefulnesse for so hee giueth his beloued sleepe Loe children and the fruite of the wombe are an heritage and gift that commeth of the Lord. Like as the arrowes in the hand of the Giant euen so are the yong children Happie is the man that hath his quiuer full of them they shal not be ashamed when they speake with their enemies in the gate Beati omnes Psal 128. BLessed are all they that feare the Lord and walke in his wayes For thou shalt eate the labours of thine hands O well is thee and happie shalt thou be Thy wife shall be as the fruitfull vine vpon the walles of thine house Thy children like the Oliue branches round about thy table Loe thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord from out of Sion shall so blesse thee that thou shalt see Hierusalem in prosperitie all thy life long Yea that thou shalt see thy childrens children and peace vpon Israel Saepe expugnauerunt psal 129. MAny a time haue they fought against mee from my youth vp may Israel now say Yea many a time haue they vexed mee from my youth vp but they haue not preuailed against me The plowers plowed vpon my backe and made long furrowes But the righteous Lord hath hewen the snares of the vngodly in pieces Let them be confounded and turned backward as many as haue euill will at Sion Let them bee euen as the grasse growing vpon the house tops Which Withereth afore it be plucked vp Where of the mower filleth not his hand neither hee that bindeth vp the sheaues his bosome So that they Which goe by say not so much as the Lord prosper you We Wish you good lucke in the name of the Lord.
