THat care be taken for the advancement of the Gospel, and that a way be found out for the maintenance of such as are the faithfull Dispencers thereof.

2. As an expedient thereunto, that it be considered how many little Congregations there be, have maintenance, would serve three or foure; many large ones having scarcely any at all.

3. That, till certain Maintenance be setled, authority be given, to assesse Maintenance upon the Inhabitants.

4. That Church-Discipline be taken into consideration, and that all such Ministers as are godly and Orthodox, care be taken for their reconciliation, in that difference of Discipline; they not at­tempting to introduce that late Lordly power, by Bishops and Prelates.

5. That the Statute, for the setting such Poor on work as are able, and relieving the importent, may be per­used and amended, if need be; and further incouragement given for Justices of Peace, Constables, and other in feriour Officers, to act vigorously in the same.

6. That the last Act for the Sabbath be perused, being defective, as is humbly conceived, there being no power to levy penalties, as in former Acts.

As also, to that clause against Fulling-Mills, the penalty being but 10 shillings; and the mills sometimes consisting of 10 or 11 Stocks, being every Stock will earn 5 shillings upon the Lords Day, it will therefore be necessary, as to the reforming of that vice, that every Stock within the respective Mills, pay 10 shillings from the Miller, and 10 shillings from the Owner of the Cloth, in the said Stock; and so proceed in the penalty, as the parties goe on in offending.

7. That the Statute of James 1 st. & 9 th. 4 th. & 5 th. be perused and amended, if need be, against tipling by Neighbours within their Townships; and further encouragement given, for the putting the same in execution.

8. That no person, being a Justice of Peace, in any City, Town-corporate, or else-where, and trading in Malt, by himself or his Agent, be authorised to grant License to sell Ale or Beer.

9. That no Bayliff, Attorney, Coroner, Constable, &c. be licensed to sell Ale or Beer, or keep a Tavern. And that also, not any person being a Tradesman, and keeping many servants in his house.

10. That it be considered, whether Watch and Ward be not as necessary, if not more, in Winter, as in Summer.

11. That the great inconvenience by Certioraries, be also considered; by reason whereof, many grosse offen­ces in the Country passe unpunished.

12. That payment of mony, freely lent for the publick good, be taken into consideration, and speedy course taken therein.

And as an expedient thereunto, let it be considered, that seeing there are great numbers of persons, who have aided and assisted the King's party; and since the beginning of these Wars, have thereby procured unto themselves great Estates, by buying of plundred goods, and otherwise, in the late troubles, whether or no it were not reasonable, a collection of the names of such persons were procured, and the said mony assessed up­on them, they being the onely persons that have gained by the late troubles, and never have been sequestred, nor suffered by the times, being alwaies upon occasion ready to side with both parties, for advantage-sake. As also, any person or persons, discovering any concealment, may not out of the same be relieved, for such his, or their lent-mony.

13. That some provision be made, that upon any difference arising amongst neighbours, unlesse in case of Titles of Land, or great sums of Mony, before any suit be commenced, the party complaining, have power to con­vent the Defendant before the next Justice of Peace, or some others, authorised thereto, who shall have power to hear and end the difference, if he can; and that any Suit commenced, contrary to that rule, shall be void in Law.

14. That the Statutes for Clothing be perused, and provision made against the deceirs, now too frequent, in that particular.

15. That the said complaints of Country-people, as to the hard usage they meet with, from such as collect the excise be considered, it being conceived, that the charges of collecting of it, which the Country bears, is as much as comes to the Common-wealth. And therefore it is proposed, that what any Leaser hath paid for three or four of the last years, may be charged upon the persons, lyable to pay the same; and some way found out to collect the same, without such excessive charges, as other publick mony is.

16. That such as in the late Wars, have aided and assisted the late King, and have forced persons, by fineing them to serve as Constables, &c. against their minds, may not now be suffered to make choice of such like Officers; and in case they will not desist, a way to proceed against them. And also that all proceedings by such­in other their respective places, either by themselves, or joyntly with others, may be void in Law.

17. That unnecessary and excessive feastings, in Cities and Towns corporate, be prevented; it having been very observable, how many persons of good Estates have been weakened thereby; it also being a hinderance to other honest men, for taking upon them places of trust.

18. Wants authority for the regulating of Pewes and Galleries, in severall great Assemblies, they being possessed by the younger sort, to the prejudice of the aged, and such as hears the charge thereof; especially in Cities and great Corporations.

19. That the discontinuance of the late Act of Parliament, for the repairing of high waies by Assessments, be taken into further consideration, it having been found by experience to be very effectually, in severall places of this Nation.
