VII. Of our Demeanour towards the CIVIL MAGISTRATE.
1. WE do reckon our selves obliged continually to pray for God's Protection, Guidance, and Blessing upon the Rulers set over us.
2. That we ought to yield unto them not only subjection in the Lord, but support, according to our station and abilities.
3. That if at any time it shall be their pleasure to call together any Number of us, or require any account of our Affairs, and the state of our Congregations, we shall most readily express all dutiful regard to them herein.
