"16.--That everything be common amongst the Brethren, one Man's
Wife for another, when the candle of iniquity is extinguished, and
the Spirit moves, as to the Exposition of that place in Scripture,
_Increase and Multiply_.
"17.--That no kneeling at the Sacrament be allowed of, but that
it shall be received at Night in an upper Roome, only by twelve
together sitting all round.
"18.--That none shall weare long haire, for as Souldiers are
known only by their Colours they weare, so we will be known to be
_Round-heads_ onely by our long Eares.
"19.--That our Diet be very provocative, and whatsoever is
effectuall to the accomplishment of this purpose, that it be
esteemed as a Soveraign Antidote to expell the contagious infection
of despaire, and very co-operative to revive our dead and fainting
Spirits, because they will be much weakened with such holy zeale,
and will want some lively nourishment; therefore let our bodies be
alwaies well tempered, that our pulses may beat hard when the flesh
riseth.
"20.--That all Learning, Order, Discipline, and the Universities be
abrogated from all our Brethren as being Popery.
"21.--That every Yeare there shall be the _Round-heads'_ Feast
Celebrated, a well lung'd long-breathed Cobler shall preach a
Sermon six houres, and his Prayers two houres long, and at every
Messe in this Feast shall be presented a goodly Dish of _Turnips_,
because it is very agreeable to our Natures; for a _Turnip_ hath a
round head, and the anagram of _Puritan_ is A TURNIP.
"22.--That whosoever shall not agree and condescend to the due
observation of each particular Order by us here establisht, they
shall be held as the malignant party, enemies to the State of
the _Round-heads_, and worthy to be renounced, suspended, or
excommunicated, and never to be re-admitted into the Society of the
Brethren."
