A Word in the Common Prayer Book mended.

Whereas it was signified by the House of Commons, at the Conference Yesterday, "That they found One Mistake in the Rubric of Baptism, which they conceived was a Mistake of the Writer, ["Persons"] being put instead of ["Children"]:"

The Lord Bishop of Durham acquainted the House, that himself, and the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, and the Lord Bishop of Carlile, had Authority from the Convocation to mend the said Word, averring it was only a Mistake of the Scribe. And accordingly they came to the Clerk's Table, and amended the same.

Whereas it was intimated at the Conference Yesterday, as the Desire of the House of Commons, "That it be recommended to the Convocation, to take Order for reverend and uniform Gestures and Demeanours to be enjoined at the Time of Divine Service and Preaching:"

It is ORDERED by this House, and hereby recommended to the Lords the Bishops and the rest of the Convocation of the Clergy, to prepare some Canon or Rule for that Purpose, to be humbly presented unto His Majesty for His Assent.
