Answ. 1. The Case of Ministers Conformity is much altered, by a new Act which requireth subscribing new things, Declaring Assent and Consent to all things prescribed and contained in and by three books; and by some other things. But that part of the Liturgy which the people are to join in is made better, as is showed before. And if we are returned to the same state that they were then in, we are under the same duties that they were under. And let it be remembered, ⟨p. 89⟩that we never Vowed that God should not bring us back to the same case (which had been blasphemy) And therefore it had been bad enough, if we had vowed not to do what was our duty in that state, if God should return us to it.
