CHAPTER 

 :  Give ye heed to the bishop, that God also may

give heed to you. I am devoted to those who are

subject to the bishop, the presbyters, the deacons.

May it be granted me to have my portion with them in

the presence of God. Toil together one with another,

struggle together, run together, suffer together, lie

down together, rise up together, as God's stewards and

assessors and ministers.

 :  Please the Captain in whose army ye serve, from

whom also ye will receive your pay. Let none of you be

found a deserter. Let your baptism abide with you as

you shield; your faith as your helmet; your love as

your spear; your patience as your body armour. Let

your works be your deposits, that ye may receive your

assets due to you. Be ye therefore long-suffering one

with another in gentleness, as God is with you. May I

have joy of you always.
