SECT. XV.
VII. The Seventh Part of required Obedience.
1. THE Seventh Part of the Obedience required of us, is that we come not within five miles of any City or Corporation which sendeth Burgesses to Parliament, or to any other place whatever, where we have ever preached since the Act of Oblivion; except on the Rode or summoned.
2. Many Ministers have their friends, houses, and all that they have, in those forbidden places.
3. The greatest places being most populous ⟨p. 219⟩have most need of Preachers, many souls being more precious than few, and the public Teachers that have many thousands, needing more help than they that have but little charges.
