Assembly at Glasgow , December 6 , 1688. Sess. 14. I. Act concerning the Service-Book , Book of Canons , Book of Ordination , and the High Commission .

I. The Assembly having diligently considered the Book of Common-prayer , lately obtruded upon the reformed Kirk within this Realm , both in respect of the Manner of the introducing thereof , and in respect of the Matter which it containeth , findeth , that it hath been devised , and brought in by the pretended Prelates , without Direction from the Kirk , and pressed upon Ministers without Warrant from the Kirk , to be universally received , as the only Form of Divine Service , under all highest Pains , both Civil and Ecclesiastical ; and the Book itself , beside the Popish Frame and Forms in Divine Worship , to contain many Popish Errors and Ceremonies , and the Seeds of manifold and gross Superstition and Idolatry . The Assembly , therefore , all in one Voice , hath rejected and condemned , and by these Presents doth reject and condemn the said Book , not only as illegally introduced , but also as repugnant to the Doctrine , Discipline , and Order of this reformed Kirk , to the Confession of Faith , Constitutions of General Assemblies , and Acts of Parliament establishing the true Religion ; and doth prohibite the Use and Practice thereof : And ordain Presbyteries to proceed with the Censure of the Kirk against all such as shall transgress .

II. The Assembly also , taking to their Consideration the Book of Canons , and the Manner how it hath been introduced , findeth , that it hath been devised by the pretended Prelates , without Warrant or Direction from the General Assembly ; and to establish a tyrannical Power in th●●●●sons of the pretended Bishops , over the Worship of God , Mens Consciences , Liberties and Goods ; and to overthrow the whole Discipline and Government of the General and Synodical Assemblies , Presbyteries , and Sessions , formerly established in our Kirk .

Therefore the Assembly , all in one Voice , hath rejected and condemned , and by these Presents , doth reject and condemn the said Book , as contrair to the Confession of our Faith , and repugnant to the established Government , the Book of Discipline , and the Acts and Constitutions of our Kirk ; prohibites the Use and Practice of the same ; and ordains Presbyteries to proceed with the Censure of the Kirk , against all such as shall transgress .
