<P>_THe Kingdome of <HI>England,</HI> divided into Pari&s;hes; was, and is, for this four-fold end and purpo&s;e.
<LIST>
<ITEM>1. That the better Government:</ITEM>
<ITEM>2. That the Publick Peace:</ITEM>
<ITEM>3. That true Propriety: and,</ITEM>
<ITEM>4. That the Publick Good,</ITEM>
</LIST> Might the better be E&s;tabli&s;hed and Enjoyed, both in the Church and State.</P>
<P>And therefore every Per&s;on, is con&s;cionably obliged, to make his Repair to his Pari&s;h Church; and that more particularly, for the&s;e Nine following Rea&s;ons.
<LIST>
<ITEM>I. _BEcau&s;e, every Mini&s;ter having lawful In&s;titution and Induction, into a Pa&s;toral Charge; he hath from God and Man; the Charge of tho&s;e Souls, over which he is <HI>OVERSEER.</HI></ITEM>
<ITEM>II. Becau&s;e, every Per&s;on leaving his own Pari&s;h Church, u&s;ually and purpo&s;ely; to Repair and Re&s;ort unto any other; is a pub|lick Tre&s;pa&s;&s;er again&s;t the known Laws of the Land.</ITEM>
<ITEM>III. Becau&s;e, Non-Conformity begins Di&s;order, which begets Divi&s;ion: and it begets Di&s;obedience, which begins Rebellion. Now, the end of Divi&s;ion, is De&s;truction: and the end of Rebellion, is Damnation.</ITEM>
<ITEM>IV. Becau&s;e, &s;uch as wilfully refu&s;e, to Re&s;ort to their Pari&s;h Church, do Di&s;comfort, Di&s;courage, and Di&s;credit, their own lawful Mini&s;ter: bring|ing a Scandal upon HIM; As if he were unworthy, unable, and unprofitable, in the Sacred Function of his delegated Mini&s;try.</ITEM>
<ITEM>V. Becau&s;e, they bring a Scandal upon the whole Pari&s;h; as if it were a Place of Libertini&s;m; very Di&s;orderly and Irreligious: without all fear, of either God or the King; as to Order, and Devotion.</ITEM>
<ITEM>VI. Becau&s;e, they bring a Scandal upon Them&s;elves; as if they were Sci&s;matical in Opinion; wavering in the Faith; De&s;pi&s;ers of Others; and endeavoured the Di&s;turbance of the publick Peace.</ITEM>
<ITEM>VII. Becau&s;e, &s;uch as wilfully refu&s;e to Re&s;ort unto their Pari&s;h Church, can never have any true Comfort, by re&s;orting unto any other: for, <HI>To do evil, that good may come,</HI> is the Tenet of a Sectari&s;t; and <HI>To Reform by Rebellion,</HI> is the Po&s;ition of a Traytor; and <HI>To think to Edifie the poor Soul by a mi&s;-zealous Di&s;obedience,</HI> is the Errour of Fanaticks; and the Pantrap of a Non-Conformi&s;t.</ITEM>
<ITEM>VIII. Becau&s;e, &s;uch as wilfully refu&s;e to Re&s;ort unto their Pari&s;h Church; and yet Gad up and down to other Places; they openly Di&s;own, and noto|riou&s;ly Di&s;dain, the Form of the Kings Government: they declare to the World a mo&s;t Unchri&s;tian Di&s;-affection to their proper Pa&s;tor: they make an un|happy Difference in the whole Pari&s;h: and a continual Contention, between the Mini&s;ter and his People.</ITEM>
<ITEM>IX. And la&s;tly, Becau&s;e, &s;uch as wilfully refu&s;e to Re&s;ort unto their Pari&s;h Church, to Re&s;ort unto any other; they do (in a de&s;perate pre&s;umption) manife&s;tly &s;in again&s;t Gods own Word: for, it is written, in the thirteenth Cap. to the <HI>Hebrews,</HI> Ver&s;e the &s;eventeenth;&mdash;<HI>Obey them which have the Rule over you, and &s;ubmit your &s;elves; for, they watch for your &s;ouls: as They that mu&s;t give Account; that they may do it with joy, and not with Grief; for, that is &V;nprofitable for You.</HI></ITEM>
</LIST></P>
<P>Thus, whil&s;t the Non-Conformi&s;t, Di&s;obeys God: Di&s;honours the King: Di&s;turbs the Peace: Di&s;credits his Mini&s;ters: and Di&s;owns Government: He Di&s;covers his Folly, and De&s;troys Him&s;elf.</P>
<P>Becau&s;e he is,
<LIST>
<ITEM>Neither a good Man:</ITEM>
<ITEM>Nor good Chri&s;tian:</ITEM>
<ITEM>Nor good Subject:</ITEM>
<ITEM>Nor good Pari&s;hioner.</ITEM>
</LIST> Becau&s;e, Again&s;t
<LIST>
<ITEM>GOD his Word:</ITEM>
<ITEM>The KING his Laws:</ITEM>
<ITEM>The CHURCH Her Con&s;titutions.</ITEM>
</LIST> He is,
<LIST>
<ITEM>Wilfully-wofully-wicked:</ITEM>
<ITEM>Wilful for his Humour;</ITEM>
<ITEM>Wicked for his Opinion; and,</ITEM>
<ITEM>Woful for his Practi&s;e.</ITEM>
