country_n by_o god_n appoint_v to_o follow_v and_o use_v our_o office_n according_a unto_o the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o because_o we_o will_v not_o make_v ourselves_o partaker_n of_o such_o heavy_a sin_n therefore_o we_o do_v statute_n ordain_v and_o command_v howbeit_o many_o of_o you_o be_v already_o personal_o admonish_v thereof_o although_o little_a by_o you_o regard_v that_o you_o hereafter_o shall_v indevor_n yourselves_o to_o preach_v and_o teach_v to_o the_o congregation_n and_o flock_n commit_v to_o your_o several_a

secular_a power_n to_o themselves_o you_o shall_v teach_v therefore_o and_o instruct_v the_o people_n with_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n for_o you_o shall_v draw_v more_o soul_n to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o seek_v only_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o the_o contrary_a you_o shall_v leave_v and_o shun_v all_o rail_n
