Every particular or national Church hath authority to ordain, change, and abolish, ceremonies or rites of the Church ordained only by man's au­thority, so that all things be done to edifying.

XXXV. Of Homilies.

THE HE second Book of Homilies, the several titles whereof we have joined under this Article, doth con­tain a godly and wholesome Doctrine, and necessary for these times, as doth the former Book of Homilies, which were set forth in the time of Edward the Sixth; and therefore we judge them to be read in Churches by the Ministers, diligently and distinctly, that they may be understanded of the people.
