_Act for preparing the Directorie for the worship of God_.

The Assembly considering how convenient it is, that all the Ministers of
the particular Kirks within this Kingdome, in their administration, keep
unity and uniformity in the substance and right ordering of all the parts
of the publick worship of God, and that all the particular Kirks by the
same unity and uniformity, testifie their unanimous consent against all
schisme and division, unto which these times, through the working of Satan
and his instruments, against the propagation of the Gospel of peace are so
inclinable: Doth ordain, that a Directorie for divine worship, with all
convenient diligence be framed and made ready in all the parts thereof,
against the next Generall Assembly, to be held in the year 1644. And for
this end that such as shall be nominate by this Assembly, shall immediatly
after the rising of the Assembly, set themselves apart (so far as may be)
from their particular callings, and with all diligence and speed, go about
this so publick, so pious and so profitable a work. And when they have
brought their endeavours and labours about this Directorie to an end, that
it be put into the hands of the Commissioners of the Generall Assembly, to
be revised, and thereafter by them sent in severall Copies to all the
particular Synods to be held in April and May, that the famine being
reported with their observations, notes, and animadversions to the
Generall Assembly, it may in end, after their full triall and approbation,
by order and authority from them be received,
