Forsuameikle as travells hes been taken in the forming of the
Policie of the Kirk, and diverse sutes made to the Magistrate for
approbatione thereof, qwhilk, albeit as yet, hes not taken the happie
effect qwhilk good men would crave; yet that the posteritie sould
judge well of the present age, and of the meining of the Kirk, the
Assemblie hes concludit that the Book of Policie agriet upon in
diverse Assemblies before, sould be registrate in the acts of the
Kirk, and to remaine therein, _ad perpetuam rei memoriam_, and the
copies thereof to be taken be every Presbytrie: of the qwhilk Book

HEADS AND CONCLUSIONES OF THE POLICIE OF THE KIRK.
[The Book of Policie, or Second Book of Discipline, has
been already so often printed, in Dunlop’s Confessions,
the Compendium of the Laws of the Church, and separately,
along with the First Book of Discipline, that it is deemed
unnecessary to encumber the present work with a reprint of it
from the Assembly’s Register.]
