The Assembly considering that for the purging and preservation of
religion, for the Kings Majesties honour, and for the publick peace
of the Kirk and Kingdome, the renewing of that nationall Covenant and
oath of this Kirk and Kingdome, in Februar 1638. was most necessare,
likeas the Lord hath blessed the same from Heaven with a wonderfull
successe for the good of religion, that the said Covenant suspendeth
the practise of novations already introduced, and the approbation
of the corruptions of the present governement of the Kirk, with the
civill places, and power of Kirkmen, till they be tryed in a free
generall Assembly, and that now after long and serious examination, it
is found that by the confession of Faith, the five articles of Perth,
and Episcopall governement are abjured and to be removed out of this
Kirk, and the civill places and power of Kirk-men are declared to be
unlawfull; The Assembly alloweth and approveth the same in all the
heads and articles thereof, And ordaineth that all Ministers, Masters
of Universities, Colledges, and Schooles and all others who have not
already subscribed the said Confession and Covenant, shall subscribe
the same with these words prefixed, to the subscription, viz. The
article of this Covenant which was at the first subscription referred
to the determination of the general Assembly being now determined at
Glasgow, in December 1638. and thereby the five articles of Perth, and
the governement of the Kirk by Bishops, being declared to be abjured
and removed, the civill places and power of Kirk-men declared to be
unlawfull; We subscrive according to the determination, of the said
free and lawfull generall Assembly holden at Glasgow; and ordaineth,
_ad perpetuam rei memoriam_, the said Covenant with this declaration to
be insert in the registers of the Assemblies of this Kirk; generall,
Provinciall and Presbyteriall.
