Go on in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, against all opposition, without fear of whatsoever dangers, to purge the House of the Lord, to repair the breaches thereof, to set up all his Ordinances in their full beautie and perfection, to the uttermost of your power, according to the pattern of the Word of GOD, and zeal of the best reformed Kirks; And let these two Kingdomes be knit together as one man in maintaining and promoving the truth of the Gospel, Let us enter in a perpetual Covenant for our selves and our posterity, to endevour that all things may be done in the House of GOD according to his own will, and let the Lord do with us what seemeth good in his eyes. _Only wait upon the lord, be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart._ Let your hands be ever at your Masters Work, and hold your faces resolutely to his Cause. _Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quite your selves like men, be strong, for ye shall see the salvation of the Lord,_ and your labour shall not be in vain. _Subscribed in name of the Generall Assembly of the Church of Scotland, by the Clerk of the Assembly._ _Commission of the Generall Assembly, for these that repair to the Kingdome of England._ The Generall Assembly of the Church of Scotland, finding it necessary to send some Godly and learned of this Kirk to the Kingdome of England, to the effect under-written.
