XVI. Of the Civil Government ᏴᏫ ᎠᏰᎵ ᏚᎾᏙᏢᎡᎢ

We believe that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interests and good

order of human society,; and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously

honored, and obeyed; except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the Prince of the kings of the earth.
