Apostles Prophets folowing y e Christian exposition of Auspurg notwithstāding all impeachments of our Lieutenants and Magistrates or other persons whatsoeuer assuring for the same as it is the duty and office of a christian Prince of all and euerie vnder our dominion and iurisdiction to defende and maintaine them through the helpe and grace of GOD being certainly perswaded that his almightie power hath béene the onely direction of this our christian enterprise and that he will defend his glory and holy worde against all the gates of hell Moreouer we protest before the maiestie of almightie God which is the searcher of the hearts and raines that we haue not taken in hand this godlie and christian enterprise moued by ambition or desire of honour or any other thing to our particuler profit and commoditie but for the glorie of Christe Iesus our onely sauiour and redéemer and the aduancement of his holy word and for the eternall felicitie and saluation of our subiectes which he hath giuen vs in charge Neither haue we done it to rayse discord and discention in the common wealth but rather to set and establish one christian order in the Churches and Schooles of this

against our duety séeking thereby some perticular profite or commodity or that our intēt were to leaue to our heires some aduantage to the preiudice of our sayd Archbishop sea or Electorship and to gratifie the same against all reason or henestie We protest by this our publique writing and before the eternall euerliuing God that the same was neuer our purpose or intent that is to say to drawe vnto our heires our sayd Archbishop sea or to bring them to any right of the same succession or for any other perticular profite to their commoditie And for this cause we will haue it openly declared by the publication of this our present ordinaunce that whosoeuer shall hereafter come the election ought to remaine at libertie vnto the consent of y e rest of our most noble Electors as heretofore it hath béene and after our decease to be resigned without force And for this cause all and euerie of our subiectes and other personnes vnder the obedience of our Archbishop and Electorship shall vnderstand that they are not held or boūd to owe any obedience or in any respect to reuerence any man whatsoeuer as their true and rightfull Lord tyll such tune as by the consent and councell of our Electors the Prince which shall succéed be lawfullie and righfullie chosen And that they shall not acknowledge or take for their Prince any that shall enterprise to take it in hād without the ordinarie and lawfull election of our aforesayde Electors and the expresse declaration of him which shall succéede by their aucthoritie as it hath béene obserued by long and auncient custome

and States of our prouince making them such confirmation and assuraunce of this our present promise in such maner that no daunger nor feare or other damageable enterprise maye come or happen for any such matter by vs or by our heires Therefore we charge and commaund all and euerie of our Lordes gouernors magistrates Iudges Treasurers Receauers Consulles Citizens commons and all in generall diligently and straitly to obserue this our present commaund that euerie one may be maintained according therevnto And that they may neither hurt or doo iniurie to any nor they of any be iniuried or molested for whosoeuer shall herein be found faultie shall incurre our indignation and displeasure and shall not escape most grieuous punishment for this is the truth of our last charge and commaundement In witnesse whereof we haue published and imprinted and sealed with our seale this our present declaration causing it to be caried into all partes and places of our dominions vnto such
