TO My Parishioners of St. Bartholmews Exchange London, Respective, or Disre∣spective, all manner Salutation.

The Exhortation, and Confession were endured; But, the Absolution entred on, A Psalme was confusedly began. I read, They sang (rather howled.) Such was the rudenesse of the swervers from their owne Congregation; and Di∣sturbers of all Congregations, whether they in∣trude.

Intreated I was, to be take me to the Pulpit; I yeelded, The Lecturer being not come, as I concei∣ved. In the Pulpit I was outfaced; in every cor∣ner of the Church, disgracefully nicknamed; out∣prated, rudely and savagely. Having got through my Prayer, I propounded my Text: Such were the Page  [unnumbered] Yellings, they would not endure the reading of it; for all my deep charge, and citing of the disturbers to the Lords Tribunall. Well, downe I came, and Master Ash (The Lecturer, then come) went up, rebuked the disorder, orderly Preached, and sound∣lie; In the after-noone I finished my worke; And here You have it to review; Which, my Prayer is may be to your Aedification in the serious way of Right Christianity,
