It is not our doctrine that we bring you this day, we wrote it not, we found it not out, we are not the inventors of it, we bring you nothing, but that the old fathers of the Church, that the Apostles, that Christ our Saviour himself hath brought before us. O condemn it not, ⟨image 109⟩before you know it, In the mean while, think well of them that labour for you, that do you service, that pray for you, that shall give their life for you.

Let us lay aside all blind affection, let us labour to know the truth, let God, have the victory. And then, when we know God, let us glorify him as our God, let us so live, ye our words, our deeds, & our whole life may testify, that the kingdom of god is amongst us. Let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works, & glorify our father which is in heaven. So shall God pour down his blessings upon us, so shall god bless whatsoever we take in hand, so shall we be blessed in peace, so shall we be blessed in war, so shall god go forth before our armies; so shall we be the children of god, so shall god be our god, and remain with us for ever.

So shall God powre downe his blessings vpon vs, so shal god bles whatsoeuer we take in hand, so shal we be blessed in peace, so shal we be blessed in war, so shal god go forth before our armies; so shal we be the children of god, so shall god bee our god, and remayne with vs for euer.
