1. Do something, O house of England, for the honour of the Lords day, which hath been much profaned, not only in our practises, but in our Doctrines. Christ Jesus hath two days, The day of the Lord, which is the day of judgement, And the Lords day.

Do something to make this day more honourable by way of spiritual satisfaction.
