y
take such courses whereby, according to reason and former acts of
Assemblies, the Commissioners expenses to this Assembly, and to the
subsequent, may be born by the particular parochins of every Presbyterie,
who sendeth them in their name, and to their behalf, and for that effect,
that all sort of persons able in land or moneys proportionally, may bear a
part of the burthen, as they reap the benefit of their paines.

_The Assembly referreth this unto the care of the particular
Presbyteries._

XI. Anent the _repressing of poperie and superstition_; It seemeth
expedient that the number and names of all the _Papists_ in this Kingdome
be taken up at this Assembly, if it may be conveniently done, and if not,
that it be remitted to the next provincial Assemblies, that it may appear
what grouth poperie hath had, and now hath through this Kingdome, what
_popish priests_, and _Jesuit_ there be in the land; and that all persons
of whatsoever state and condition, be obliged to swear and subscribe the
confession of Faith, as it is now condescended upon by this general
Assembly, that they frequent the word and Sacraments in the ordinar dyets
and places, otherwise to proceed against them with the censures of the
Kirk, and that children be not sent out of the countrey without license of
the Presbyteries or provinciall Synods of the bounds where they dwell.

_The Assembly referreth this article to the severall
Presbyteries._

XII. Anent order to be taken that the _Lords Supper be more frequently
administrat_ both in burgh and landward, then it hath been in the year by
gone: It were expedient that the act at _Edinburgh_ _December 25. 1562._
Sess. 5. bee renewed, and some course bee taken for furnishing of the
elements, where the Minister of the Parish hath allowance only for once in
the year.

_The Assembly referreth this to the consideration of Presbyteries,
and declareth that the charges be rather payed out of that dayes
collection, then that the Congregation want the more frequent use
of the sacrament._

XIII. Anent the entrie of Ministers to the ministrie: The Assembly thinks
expedient that the act holden at St. _Andrews_, _April 24. 1582._ Sess. 7.
Touching the age of _twenty five years_ be renewed, and none to be
admitted before that time, except such as for rare and singular qualities
shall be judged by the general or provincial Assembly to be meet and
worthie thereof.
