uch of the Paroch
as cannot conveniently have place, That in that case the Brother who
assists the Minister of the Paroch, may be ready, if need be, to give a
word of Exhortation in some convenient place appointed for that purpose,
to those of that Paroch, who that day are not to Communicate; which must
not be begun until the Sermon delivered in the Kirk be concluded.

10. That of those who are present in the Kirk where the Communion is
celebrate, none be permitted to go forth while the whole Tables be served,
and the blessing pronounced, unlesse it be for more commodious order, and
in other cases of necessity.

11. That the Minister who cometh to assist, have a special care to provide
his own Paroch, lest otherwise while he is about to Minister comfort to
others, his own Flock be left destitute of preaching.

12. That none coming from another Paroch, shall be admitted to the
Communion, without a Testimonial from their own Minister: And no Minister
shall refuse a Testimonial to any of his Paroch, who communicates
ordinarily at their own Paroch Kirk, and are without scandal in their life
for the time. And this is no wayes to prejudge any honest Person, who
occasionally is in the place where the Communion is celebrate; or such as

aside, for satisfaction of the desires of the reverend Divines in the
Synod of England, and uniformity with that Kirk so much endeared to us.

_The Assembly having considered seriously the judgement of the Committee
above-written, Doeth approve the same in all the Articles thereof, and
Ordains them to be observed in all time hereafter._

The General Assembly, being most desirous and solicitous, not onely of the
establishment and preservation of the Form of Kirk-government in this
Kingdome, according to the Word of GOD, Books of Discipline, Acts of
Generall Assemblies, and Nationall Covenant; But also of an Uniformity in
Kirk-government betwixt these Kingdomes now more straitly and strongly
united by the late Solemne League and Covenant: And considering, That as
