" Hyfforddiadau - I Ymddygiad Defosiynol a Gweddus Yng Nghyhoedd Wasanaeth Duw (translated as Training for Devotional and Decent Behavior in the Public Service of God) is a late-18th-century Welsh devotional manual printed at Oxford in 1799. Rooted in Anglican tradition, it seeks to instruct Welsh-speaking congregants in proper reverence, posture, and conduct during the public worship of God, particularly within the framework of the Book of Common Prayer. The text reflects the Church of England's effort to harmonize piety, decorum, and communal discipline among parishioners, emphasizing the importance of collective participation in prayer and the avoidance of irreverent or careless behavior in sacred settings.

The book also serves as a moral and spiritual guide, blending theological instruction with practical etiquette for worship. It presents the liturgy not merely as ritual but as a living expression of faith, aiming to cultivate humility, attentiveness, and heartfelt devotion. By translating such Anglican devotional guidance into Welsh, the 1799 edition underscores the broader movement to strengthen religious education and unity across linguistic and regional lines in post-Reformation Wales. As both a catechetical aid and a cultural artifact, it offers insight into the intersection of faith, language, and ecclesiastical order in late-Georgian Britain."
