QVESTIONS
TO
BE
RESOLVED
OF
Touching
Religious
duties
,
and
civill
actions
.
WHy
should
we
take
away
the
sence
of
the
Psalmes
(
before
and
after
the
Lessons
)
from
all
such
as
are
not
learned
?
And
from
all
others
which
have
not
an
apt
gift
in
reading
,
by
many
voyces
uttering
the
same
thing
together
?
Why
should
we
be
injoyned
many
repetitions
of
one
and
the
same
thing
?
Why
should
we
confound
the
sence
in
divers
places
of
the
Common
prayer
,
or
Service
,
by
taking
the
succeeding
verse
,
or
part
,
out
of
the
Ministers
mouth
?
And
so
preventing
(
at
least
)
the
unlearned
hearers
of
the
benefit
of
it
,

Why
not
,
He
suffered
and
was
buried
,
&c.
Aswell
in
the
usuall
Service
Creed
,
as
in
the
Common
Creed
;
in
regard
of
the
tender
capacities
of
children
and
youth
;
and
the
misconceivings
that
may
arise
by

words

into
Hell

salvation
,
(
as

Quicunque
vult
)
to
beleeve
further
then
the
capacities
of
most
(
or
at
least
)
many

reach
unto
,
touching
the
dividing
of
the
persons
of
the
Godhead
;
and
Incarnation
of
our
Saviour
,
by
such
words
as
are
very
hard
for
such
as
are
unlearned
to
understand
?

Why
is
the
Minister
in

tied
to
imperfect
conclusions
,
and
the
Minister
and
people
to
exchange
the
praying
part
?

Ought

be
injoyned
(

for
deliverance
,
by
part
of
Christs
Attributes
;
and
not
rather
by
his
full
satisfaction
?

Why
are
we
enjoyned
to
use
that
gesture
the
Papists
use
(
and
most
idolatrously
abuse
)
in
receiving
the
Bread

:
and
not
left

which
is
generally

A

And
none

The

a
booke
with
the
same
(
or

Whether

incurre
the
penalty
of
the
Law
in
not
adventuring
to
make
use
of
it
with
such
alterations
,
detractions
,
or
additions
,
being
interlaced
therein
.
Secondly
,
shall
not
such
as

bookes

such
alterations
,
&c.
as
aforesaid
be
in

.
Thirdly
,
shall
not
such
as
by

impose
,
or
indeavour
to
impose
the
use
of
it
upon
others
(
with
such
alterations
,
&c.
as
a
foresaid
)
be
lyable
to
make
recompence
and
satisfaction
to
the
party
or
parties
any
way
damnified
thereby
?
