Of the order for the buriall of the dead.
We desire it may be expressed in the Rubrick that the prayers and exhortations here are not for the benefit of the dead, but onely for instruction and comfort of the living.
THe Priest meeting the Cords at the Church-stile shall say or elsethe Priest and Clerk shall sing, &c.
We desire that Ministers may be left to use their discretions in these circumstances, and to perform the whole service in the Church, if they think fit for the preventing of those inconveni∣encies, which many times both Minister and people are exposed unto standing in the open aire.
For asmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear Brother here departed, wetherefore commit his body to the ground, &c. In sure and certain hope of resurrection to eternal life.
These words cannot in truth be said of persons living and dy∣ing in open and notorious sins.
