And to give all His Majesties good People good assurance that he
never intended to admit any Alteration or Change in the true Religion
professed within this Kingdom, and that they may be truly and fully
satisfied of the Reality of His Intentions towards the maintainance of
the Truth and Integrity of the same, His Majesty hath been pleased to
require and command all His good Subjects to subscribe the Confession
of Faith, subscribed by His dear Father in Anno 1580. and for that
effect hath ordained the Lords of His Privy Council to take some speedy
course whereby the same may be done through the whole Kingdom; which
His Majesty requires likewise all those of this present Assembly to
sign, and all others His Subjects, who have not done it already: and
it is His Majesties Will, that this be inserted and registred in the
Books of this Assembly, as a Testimony to Posterity, not onely of the
sincerity of His Intentions to the said true Religion, but also of His
Resolution to maintain and defend the same and His Subjects in the
professing thereof.
