THis day was debated before his Majestie , sitting in Co●nsell , the Question and Difference which grew about the Removing of the Communion Table in Saint Gregories Church , neere the Cathedrall Church of Saint Paul , from the middle of the Chancell to the upper end , and there placed Altar-wi●e , in such manner as it standeth in the sayd Cathedralls and Mother Church , ( as also in all other Cathedralls , and in his Majesties owne Chappell ) and as is consonant to the practise of approoved Antiquitie . Which removall , and placing of it in that sort , was done by Order of the Deane and Chapter of St. Pauls , who are Ordinaries thereof , as was avowed before his Majestie by Doctor King , and Doctor Montfort , two of the Prebends there . Yet some few of the Parishioners , being but five in number , did complaine of this Act by Appeale to the Court of Arches , pretending that the Booke of Comm●n-prayer , and the 82. Canon doe give permi●sion to place the Communion Table , where it may stand with most fitnesse and convenience . Now his Majestie having heard a particular relation made by the Counsaile of both parties , of all the carriage and proceedings in this cause , was pleased to declare his dislike of all Innovation , & receeding from ancient Constitutions , grounded upon just and war●antable reasons , especially in matters concerning Eccle●iasticall Orders and Government , knowing how easily men are drawne to affect Novelties , and how soone weake judgements in such cases may bee overtaken and abused . And he was also pleased to observe , that if those few Parishioners might have their wills , the difference thereby 〈…〉 of the neerene●s of St. Gregories , standing close to the wall thereof . And likewise , for so much as concernes the liberty given by the said Common booke , or Canon , for placing the Communion Table in any Church or Chappell with most conveniencie ; that libertie is not so to be understood , as if it were ever left to the discretion of the Parish , much lesse to the particular fancie of any humerous person , but to the judgement of the Ordinarie , to whose place and function it doth properly belong to give direction in that poynt , both for the thing it selfe , and for the time , when and how long , as he may finde cause . Vpon which consideration his Majestie declared himselfe , That hee well approved and confirmed the Act of the said Ordinarie , and also gave commandement , that if those few Parishioners before mentioned , do proceed in their said Appeale , then the Deane of the Arches , ( who was then attending at the hearing of the Cause ) shall confirme the said Order of the aforesaid Deane and Chapter .
