Summary

Whereas… the Lord's Day is very much profaned and neglected to the great scandal and dishonour of our holy profession, and decay of Christian piety… we do order and require that no person within this our diocese do presume to do any servile work on that day, especially that no fisherman do offer to go to sea from Saturday at night till Monday morning, and that no miller do suffer his mill to grind from twelve of the clock on Saturday at night till nightfall on Sunday on a penalty of fourteen days’ imprisonment in St German's prison, and penance in every church of the island for the first offence, and for every relapse double punishment and four pounds fine to the lord's use without mitigation.
