and the order of
this [Church]?

_Answer_. I am so persuaded.

_The_ [_Primus_],

Are you persuaded that the holy Scriptures contain sufficiently
all doctrine required of necessity for eternal salvation through
faith in Jesus Christ? And are you determined out of the same
holy Scriptures to instruct the people committed to your charge,
and to teach or maintain nothing as required of necessity to
eternal salvation, but that which you shall be persuaded may
be concluded and proved by the same?

_Answer_. I am so persuaded and determined, by God's grace.

_The_ [_Primus_].

Will you then faithfully exercise yourself in the same holy
Scriptures, and call upon God by prayer, for the true understanding

quietness, peace, and love among all men; and such as be unquiet,

_Answer_. I will so do, by the help of God

_The_ [_Primus_].

Will you be faithful in ordaining, sending, or laying hands upon

_Answer_. I will so be, by the help of God.

_The_ [_Primus_].

Will you shew yourself gentle, and be merciful for Christ's sake
to poor and needy people, and to all strangers destitute of help?

_Answer_. I will so shew myself, by God's help.

_Then the_ [_Primus_], _standing up, shall say_,

to do all these things; Grant also unto you strength and power to
perform the same; that he accompl
