Answer: My Godfathers and Godmothers in my Baptism; wherein I was made a member of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven. ‘Catechism’ I should renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and
all the sinful lusts of the flesh. ‘Catechism’ Question: What dost thou chiefly learn by these Commandments? Answer: I learn two things: Neighbour. ‘Catechism’ My duty towards my Neighbour, is to love him as myself, and to do to all men, as I would they should do unto me. ‘Catechism’ To submit myself to all my governors, teachers, spiritual pastors and masters. ‘Catechism’ To keep my hands from picking and stealing, and my tongue from evil-speaking, lying, and slandering. ‘Catechism’ Not to covet nor desire other men’s goods; but to learn and labour truly to get mine own living, and to do my duty in that state of life, unto which it shall please God to call me. ‘Catechism’ Question: How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church? Answer: Two only, as generally necessary to salvation, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord. Question: What meanest thou by this word Sacrament? Answer: I mean an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. ‘Catechism’ Our help is in the name of the Lord; Who hath made heaven and earth. ‘Order of Confirmation’ Lord, hear our prayers. And let our cry come unto thee. ‘Order of Confirmation’ Defend, O Lord, this thy Child [or this thy Servant] with thy heavenly grace, that he may continue thine for ever; and daily increase in thy holy Spirit more and more, until he come unto thy everlasting kingdom. ‘Order of Confirmation’ If any of you know cause, or just impediment, why these two persons should not be joined together in holy Matrimony, ye are to declare it. This is the first [second, or third] time of asking. ‘Solemnization of Matrimony’, the Banns Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony. ‘Solemnization of Matrimony’, exhortation Which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence, and first miracle that he wrought, in Cana of Galilee; and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men:
