The Assembly understanding that Ministers are not duly sent forth to the
Regiments of the Army, neither such as are sent duly relieved, which
neglect falleth out oftimes, by reason of questions among Presbyteries
interested in the Regiments: Therefore for remedy hereof, thinks it
convenient that this order be keeped hereafter; That a List be made of
three Ministers by the Colonels, or in their absence by the chief Officers
of every Regiment, with advice and consent of the Presbyterie at the Army,
and sent to Presbyteries here, or if the list be of Ministers in divers
Presbyteries to the Commissioners of the General Assembly, that they may
appoint one out of that list to be sent to the Regiment, to attend them
for performing Ministeriall duties 3 Moneths: And that the relief of
Ministers already sent or to be sent hereafter shall be in the same
manner, And the Assembly ordains Ministers who shall be thus appointed by
Presbyteries or the Commissioners of the Assembly _respectivè_, to repair
to the Armie with all diligence, under the paine of suspension: And humbly
recommends to the Honourable Estates of Parliament, to provide some way
whereby these Ministers may have due and ready payment of their allowance,
from the time of their going from their charges here. And it is declared
that this order shall be also keeped for sending forth of Ministers to the
Regiments in the second expedition.

and Uniformitie of Kirk-government in his Majesties Dominions; And that
now in respect of the present condition of affairs in this Kingdome, their
proceedings cannot be examined at this time: Therefore finding it necessar
that the said Commission be renewed unto the Commissioners therein
