Give ye ^ heed to the bishop, that God also may give
heed to you. My soul be for theirs '' that are submissive
to the bishop, to the presbytery, and to the deacons :
may I have my portion with them from God ! Labour
together with one another ; strive in company together ;
run together ; suffer together ; sleep together ; and awake
together, as the stewards, and associates,'" and servants of
God. Please ye Him under whom ye fight, and from
whom ye shall receive your wages. Let none of you be
found a deserter. Let your baptism endure as your arms ;
your faith as your helmet ; your love as your spear ; your
patience as a complete panoply. Let your works be the
charge assigned to you, that you may obtain for them a
most worthy" recompense. Be long-suffering, therefore,
with one another, in meekness, and God shall be so with
you. May I have joy of you for ever ! '^
