     summary: And because experience hath shewed us , how irreverent the behaviour of many people is in many plac●● , some leaning , others casting their hats , and some sitting upon , some standing , and others sitting under the Communion Table in time of Divine Service : for the avoiding of these and the like abu●●s , it is thought meet and convenient by this present Synod , that the said Communion Tables in all Chancells or Chappells , be decently severed with Rails to preserve them from such or worse profanations . And first these private Conferences shall be performed in each severall Diocesse , either by the Bishop in person , if his occasion will permit it , or by some one or mor● learned Ministers at his speciall appointment , and the said Bishop shall also designe the time and place of the said severall Conferenc●s , and all such persons as shall be present ther●at● which if Recusants refuse to observe , they shall be taken for obstinate , and so certified to the Bishop .

Now there is nothing more apt to induce men to a suspition of any Religion , than frequent innovation and change : For since the object of Religion , God , the subject of it , the soul of man , and the businesse of it , Truth , is alwayes one and the same : Variety and Novelty is a just presumption of Falsity : It argues sickness and distemper in the minde , as well as in the body , when a man is continually turning and tossing from one side to the other .
