Study, therefore, to be established in the doctrines of the Lord and the
apostles, that so all things, whatsoever ye do, may prosper, both in the
flesh and spirit, in faith and love, with your most admirable bishop,
and the well-compacted spiritual crown of your presbytery, and the
deacons who are according to God. Be ye subject to the bishop, and to
one another, as Christ to the Father. that there may be a unity
according to God among you.
