<P>_WHEREAS by the Orders Military e&s;tabli&s;hed by Us, for the better Order and Govern|ment of Our Army, it is in the fir&s;t place &s;trictly commanded (under the penalties therein ex|pre&s;&s;ed) that no man &s;hall pre&s;ume to Bla&s;phem, nor u&s;e unlawfull Oathes, Execrations, or any Scandalous Acts in derogation of the Honour of God; nor &s;hall wilfully ab&s;ent them|&s;elves from Sermons, and morning and Evening-Prayers: Notwith&s;tanding which We have, to Our great Griefe, and high Di&s;plea&s;ure, ob&s;erved a generall Liberty taken in the breach of the &s;aid Orders, which cannot but provoke Gods Judgements to be powred out upon them, and this Nation. For prevention whereof, We do &s;traitly charge and Com|mand all the re&s;pective Officers of Our Army, to cau&s;e all Articles e&s;tabli&s;hed again&s;t Bla&s;phemy, Oathes, Drun|kenne&s;&s;e, Whoredom, and all other &s;candalous Actions, in derogation of the Service of God; as likewi&s;e for the neglect of frequenting Divine Service and Sermons, to be duly and &s;everely put in Execution, and to cau&s;e all per&s;ons offending again&s;t any of them, to be puni&s;hed as their offences &s;hall de&s;erve, and the Articles direct, with|out favour or partiality; as they, or any of them will an&s;wer the contrary. And to the end the Service of Al|mighty God may be duely celebrated, (Whereby We mu&s;t expect a ble&s;&s;ing upon Our Army and their undertakings) Our expre&s;&s;e Will and Command is, That the re&s;pective Chaplaines of the &s;everall Regiments of Our Army duly attend their Callings, and continue with their Regiments duly reading twice every day Divine Service at the head of their re&s;pective Regiments (all yeelding due reverence according to the Lawes made in that behalfe) at which We require all the Officers and Souldiers of the &s;ame to be pre&s;ent; They to preach to them every Sunday-morn|ing, and to expound &s;ome part of the Chatechi&s;me (by Authority &s;et forth in the Book of Common-Prayer) in the Afternoon: And to admini&s;ter the Sacrament of the Lords Supper unto them the fir&s;t Sunday of every Moneth. And that Our Plea&s;ure herein be not in any &s;ort neglected, Our Will and Command is, That Doctor <HI>Rives,</HI> and Doctor <HI>Sherwood</HI> the Chaplains Generall of Our Army, inform them&s;elves of the Severall Chaplaines of the Re|giments, and to &s;ee that every of them perform their Duties, and Our Commands herein expres'd, We expecting an Account from them of the due performance thereof. And that this may be &s;peedily and effectually done, We do hereby give the Chaplaines Generall power to Summon the Chaplaines of Our Army to give them the&s;e Orders in charge, to require an Account of them, and to inform Us what Obedience is yeelded unto them. Further Our Plea|&s;ure is, That the re&s;pective Chaplaines of every Regiment, or &s;ome other per&s;on appoynted by the Colonell, read publiquely every &s;econd Sunday the Military Orders, to the end every Officer, and Souldier, may the better know their Duty towards God, Us, and their Superiours. The&s;e Our Commands We require forthwith to be Printed, and publi&s;hed at the head of every Regiment of Our Army, and to be fully ob&s;erved by all both Officers &amp; Souldiers of Our Army, as they &amp; every of them will avoyd Our high di&s;plea&s;ure for their neglect of all, or any part of them.</P>
