F (as (as alledged in the tenth Letter of this Book) the Public Reading the Holy Scriptures on the Lord's-Days in the Afssemblies of Christians, is an Ordinance of God's Appointment, for the spiritual Benefit of all Sorts of Hearers, and is a Part of the Public Worship He requires from his People; then it ought to be performed in every worshipping Affembly of Christians, on those Holy Days: And those Congregations, and their Ministers, who have not used this Ordinance ought no longer to neglect it.

The following Queries are proposed to confideration.
