The Assembly thinks it necessar, if any Member of Presbyteries or Synods
shall finde in matters depending before them, that the Moderator shall
refuse to put any thing of importance to voices; Or if they finde any
thing carried by plurality of voices to any determination which they
conceive to be contrary to the Word of God, the Acts of Assembly, or to
the received order of this Kirk, That in either of these cases they urge
their dissent to be marked in the Register; And if that be refused, that
they protest as they would desire to be free of common censure with the
rest: And the Assembly declares the dissenters to be censurable, if their
dissent shall be found otherwise nor they conceived.
_Act concerning the Election of a Moderator in Provinciall Assemblies._
The General Assembly understanding that some Provincial Assemblies in
choosing their Moderator, tye themselves to these Persons who have been
before named and designed in particular Presbyteries, which is against the
libertie of the Provincial Assembly: Therefore discharges Presbyteries to
make any such nomination hereafter; And ordain Provincials in their first
meeting, to elect their Moderator, and to make their own List for that
effect without any such prælimitation.
_Act for keeping of the Fast by the Congregations in the Towne where the
Assembly holds._
The Assembly judge it most necessar and comely, seeing the first day of
the meeting of Generall Assemblies, is by the laudable practice of this
Kirk a day of Fasting and Humiliation, for craving the Lords blessing to
that Meeting; That not onely the Members of the Assembly, but that all the
Congregations also of the Town where the Assembly holds bee so exercised:
And that publick Worship bee in all the Kirks thereof that day for that
effect.
