The grand debate between the most reverend bishops and the Presbyterian divines appointed by His Sacred Majesty as commissioners for the review and alteration of the Book of common prayer, &c. : being an exact account of their whole proceedings : the most perfect copy.

[Nor does the Act of Parliament 5 Elizab. forbid it, we dare not think a Parliament did intend to forbid that which Christ his Church hath commanded; Nor does the Act determine any thing about Lent Fast, but only provide for the maintenance of the Navy, and of Fishing in order thereunto, as is plain by the Act. Besides we conceive that we must not so interpret, one Act, as to contradict another, being still in force and unrepealed. Now the Act of 1 Eliz. confirmes the whole Li∣turgy, and in that the religious keeping of Lent, with a severe penalty up∣on all those, who shall by open words speak any thing in derogation of any part thereof, and therefore that other Act of 5 Elizab. must not be inter∣preted to forbid the religious keeping of Lent.]
