18. If any sell the Patrimony of the Church, the Presbytery censures him; if any take buds of Malt, Meal, 1Beef, it is no law with us, no more then the Bishops five hundred marks, or a years stipend that the intrant gave to the Lord Bishop for a church. And who ever took buds in these days, (as King James by the Earl of Dumbar, did buy Episcopacy at a pretended Assembly, by foul budding) they were either men for the Episcopal way, or perfidiously against their oath became Bishops, all personal faults of this kind, imputed to Presbyters, agree to them, under the reduplication of Episcopal men.
