You have pulled up every plant which by our heavenly Father hath not planted, and taken out of his Kingdom whatsoever did offend; and the Lord bless you for it.

Now therefore, that your work and your blessing may be complete, study to be answerable in the positive and erective part of Reformation; that as you have left nothing that Jesus Christ would have removed, so there may want nothing that Jesus Christ would have set up in this New Model of Church-Government. 1See that ye do all things according to the pattern: so shall it be your honour, as it was Moses, 2To be faithful to him that appointed him in all his House. Do thoroughly, that Christ may not be an underling in his own House.
