"Me the eipesienee of.your Mejesty'e petitioners
leads them to colocide in the opinion, that abbreviation is an
important principle in the work of alteration or revision, aid
that newsy &arias should be introduced ; and if additional
sereesse ram are contemplated, they desire to leave
this, seder Oed, to the wisdom of their superiors in sook-
Mental

7Tfleat a change In the lessons they could desire to see;
othatituting porticos from the Canonise! Bedpans fur nth
as are taken trona the Apocrypha, and these portions being
generally shorter than some which are now appointed to be
reed that there are sates, else, in welch Iowa" celled
• proper' might well be changed for others more appropriatrn.
and that proper second lessons, as well as first, might be
appointed for all Solidity. la the year, with good affect.
.1. 1 hat • beneficial abbreviation might be found la &-
continuing the congregational use of the hthaaaian creed;
especially as the doctrines of it (sound as your idajeety••
perntionera believe them to be) are too abetruaely expreelesd
WC common worship, and are all found in other parts of the
Liturgy ; also that the other two Reseda might be so placed
in juxtaposition as that one or the other, ani not bath,
might be used in the same MS* or combination ot
smokes, • at the discretion of the minister; that one of the
papa for the Queen is the Communion Service might be
asil in Ithe maths/ in °commies with that in the Daily
I Service, end used as an alternative with It, the other is the
Communion &Ivies beteg pat away; and that, in ethaiderney
with this arrangement it would be sallibent if the Lord's
Prayer were seed tea" in the licaufeg &dee with Com-
notaion, and once in the 11thaths derides.
.6. That the observaace of &data Days was matter of
strong objection in the Conference of 1661, and, though the'
services appointed for them are not in themselves examples of
the Idolatrous wireltip of mints, yet that the observance ap-
pears fo many to counts/ma this arta ; the moat diotent ten-
ancy to which cannot be too jealously kept clear of by the
Church of Christ ; that 'patella exempla, therefore, should
be made ad/yin by ministerial teaching, and the only days
he width permtheat special melees are reserved phoeld be
those whim% have epeeist refugees to the great events of oar
Blamed Savient's hfs and death, the coming of the Holy
Ghost, and the commemoration of the Holy Trinity.
.& That the Bipial Service should be so cleared of pumps
inapplicable to some deceased permits as to remove the jut
atrapies already expressed ander the signatures of nearly tour
thousand of our clergy, many of them still hoping for relief
In relation to tbia subj, ct with anxious expectation.
. 7. Thu it would also be a peat ~list, if the absolution
to the wattages of the nick, which aeons, ea some think, to
be more then merely declarative, were delivered from all ap-
pearance of being an absolution by priestly authority, giving
et the ambiance of a dangerous error.
8. That similar ideas and sensations suggest themselves
impeding the expressions in our consecration and online-
,ion Services, which mil ar to imply (however they may be
otharwiee explained) the &dog of the duly Ghost by human
hands.

"4: That the like regret le felt by many on the subject of
the oommunicetiou of the Holy Ghost by the administration
et holy baptism, as our ritual seems to express it; that the
unhappy divisims which prevail in oar church on this Poh-
-1 jest might be closed for ever by an alteration In the Baptlot
teal Service, which should exclude the eponeonal element,
and ouch portions ea seem to imply regeneration or tha
birth of the Spirit in or by baptism : that very beautiful
werv,oaa would roman and, the Form of Sept lan, given in
charge by our Lord to ha opostke, having no such Implies.
tlou, they may be perfectly scriptural without it.
"10. that It results from the judgment of your Majesty's
highest tribunal in matters ecclesiastical (however that judg-
meat may be viewed), that the churchmanabip of those who,
I like your Majesty's pelbionere, do not bold baptismal regene-
ration in the absolute settee, is no less good than that of
those who do; and that, therefore, your Majesty's petitioners
are howeet and consistent churchmen to using the Baptismal
Ritual In a talse which avoids that view, &owning to the
J edema,.
" 11. That they wish, therefore, only for what is just
and reasonable, in drain a ritual clear in tetras from
what they are authorised to eschew in fact; and that they
humbly ask, why language wagoning continued dissension,
without giving the paler of superior churchreanship to one
party more than another, should remain in a termilary
which might be complete without it ? Ltd your idsjesty's
petitioners are the more solicitous upon this subject, because
it Is not-dowdy the chief occuion of disturbance to the pesos
of the church, eo ardently to be desired' for ler efficiency,
and a cause (es your petitioners believe) of keeping many
out of Mr communion who would ttbetwise be glad to
' join it.
" 12. That it remains to be °heaved, in connexion with
what has been said, that the office for confirmation would of
course require to be conformed to that of Infant baptism :
that the Catechism also would require the same conformity,
as well as other corrections and that infect the adoption or
conatructien of another in egret ment, for the mat part, with
the original Catechism of King Edward VI., but more can-
can sad brief in its questions and answers, would be a moot
valuable acquisition.
" 13. That other alterations might be alluded to, both In
the body and the rubric of the Liturgy, wlerh oink readily
suggest drainages as the work proceed.. The Litany, for
instance, on Sunday 'eaanfitge might be appointed only for
the seeped and fourth Sundays of the month, a proportionate '
qtlantity of the Deily Prayers from and atter the Jubilate
being daubed ter that time, am also when the Litany is used
en week days • and that the teat would be thatof orderly
variety, an well as of abbeeviatioa ; that the forms also for
the fifth of November, the tasty-ninth of May, and the
thirtieth of Janutry, might he relinquished ,• and gene-
rally ell °balite terms be exchaeged tor others now more
appropriate.
" 14. That on these grounds your petitioners most humbly
pray that your Majesty, by and with the advice of your
Pnvy Council, will be graciously pleased to take the pre-
mime into your royal coneideration and to appoint a corn-
ustegion for the revision of the Book of Common Prayer in
harmony with the views hereby mat respectfully submitted
to your Majesty and if it become law that persona hereafter
to he ordained, on being instituted or liaraftel to say beadles
with ours of souls, shell therein nee the es • foam only, never-
tholes. that It may be lawful boss those •ho have beam
already ordained, and have subscribed the wand elide of
the thirtyutiztli cues, to continue the use of the Old form ;
until, being possessed of any beads% the new form shall be
voluntarily adored by lbws nipstber with a majority of their
ecattholdere and la the ainCel &spivs and oollitee until It
be so sdeptid by the heeds sad onjorities of the ruling
pone? thereof.
_ .

that, Bully, your Majesty's petitioners advance
nothing touching their saw ut and cowoLt to the Litwpy es
it to, but earnestly plead for improvesseots, of which it is
obviously, urgently, and oddly essorptible, as twould
seek alterations fur the better in the laws of the as
which they beer true alkwianos ; sad that, co
both your Idost Gracious Majesty sad thauselvse to the
vow, end gccdnese of God,
Your petitioners, so Is duty bound, will ewe pray, dts."
