ile on our part, we do most willingly part
with such practices and customs of our own, as may be parted with safely,
and without the violation of any of Christs Ordinances, or trespassing
against Scripturall Rules, or our solemne Covenants.

We do in like manner agree to, and approve the Proportions touching
Kirk-government and Ordination; and have given power to our Commissioners
who are to meet in Edinburgh, to agree to, and conclude in our Name an
Uniformitie therein, betwixt the Kirks in both Kingdoms, so soon as the
same shall be without any substantiall alteration Ratified by an Ordinance
of the Honourable Houses of the Parliament of England according to our Act
of Approbation sent to our Commissioners with you.

As for the returning of our Commissioners; though the counsel and
assistance of our Reverend Brethren might be of good use to us in these
difficult times, and their particular stations and imployments importune
the stay of these who are come unto us, and the returne of these who stay
with you, yet preferring the publick good, and looking upon the profit may
redound unto all by their continuing with you, we have satisfied your
desire, & renewed their Commission; Praying GOD they may (as we are
confident they shall) prove answerable to our trust, and to your
expectation.

Concerning one Confession of Faith, and Forme of Catechisme, we apprehend
no great difficultie: And to that which remains to be perfected in the
matter of Kirk-government, we do believe, and both you and we know by
experience, that _there is no word impossible with_ our _God. He that hath
begun a good work among you, will also perform it_ of his good pleasure.
Go on in the Lord your strength, and _the Spirit of truth lead you in all
truth: The God of all grace and peace that brought again from the dead our
Lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the
everlasting Covenant_, & by him _hath called us unto his eternall glory,
make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you, and by
you, and among you, that which is well pleasing in his fight, stablish,
strengthen, settle you, through Jesus Christ our Lord._
