_Approbation of the Confession of Faith._

A Confession of Faith for the Kirks of God in the three Kingdomes, being
the chiefest part of that Uniformity in Religion which by the solemne
League and Covenant we are bound to endeavour; And there being accordingly
a Confession of Faith agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines sitting at
_Westminster_, with the assistance of Commissioners from the Kirk of
_Scotland_; Which Confession was sent from our Commissioners at _London_
to the Commissioners of the Kirk met at _Edinburgh_ in _January_ last,
hath been in this Assembly twice publikely read over, examined and
considered; Copies thereof being also Printed, that it might be
particularly perused by all the Members of this Assembly, unto whom
frequent intimation was publikely made, to put in their doubts and
objections if they had any; And the said Confession being upon due
examination thereof found by the Assembly to bee most agreable to the Word
of God, and in nothing contrary to the received Doctrine, Worship,
Discipline, and Government of this Kirk. And lastly, it being so necesary
and so much longed for, That the said Confession be with all possible
diligence and expedition approved and established in both Kingdoms, as a
principal part of the intended Uniformity in Religion, and as a special
means for the more effectual suppressing of the many dangerous errours and
heresies of these times; The General Assembly doth therefore after mature
diliberation agree unto and approve the said Confessio
