corrupted doctrine concerning original sin, our natural inability and rebellion to God’s law, our justification by faith only, our imperfect sanctification and obedience to the law; the nature, number, and use of the holy sacraments:  His five bastard sacraments; with all his rites, ceremonies, and false doctrine, added to the ministration of the true sacraments, without the Word of God:  His cruel judgment against infants departing without the sacrament:  His absolute necessity of baptism:  His blasphemous opinion of transubstantiation, or real presence of Christ’s body in the elements, and receiving of the same by the wicked, or bodies of men:  His dispensations with solemn oaths, perjuries, and degrees of marriage forbidden in the Word; His cruelty against the innocent divorced:  His devilish mass:  His blasphemous priesthood:  His profane sacrifice for the sins of the dead and the quick:  His canonization of men; calling upon angels or saints departed; worshipping of imagery, relics and crosses; dedicating of kirks, altars, days; Vows to creatures:  His purgatory, prayers for the dead; praying or speaking in a strange language; with his processions and blasphemous litany, and multitude of advocates or mediators:  His manifold orders, auricular confession:  His desperate and uncertain repentance; His general and doubtsome faith:  His satisfactions of men for their sins:  His justification by works, opus operatum, works of supererogation, merits, pardons, peregrinations and stations:  His holy water, baptizing of bells, conjuring of spirits, crossing, earning, anointing, conjuring, hallowing of God’s good creatures, with the superstitious opinion joined therewith:  His worldly monarchy, and wicked hierarchy:  His three solemn vows, with all his shavellings of sundry sorts:  His erroneous and bloody decrees made at Trent, with all the subscribers and approvers of that cruel and bloody bond, conjured against the Kirk of God.

And finally, we detest all his vain allegories, rites, signs, and traditions brought into the Kirk, without or against the Word of God and doctrine of this true reformed Kirk; to the which we join ourselves willingly, in doctrine, faith, religion, discipline, and use of the holy sacraments, as lively members of the same in Christ our head:  Promising and swearing by the Great Name of the Lord our God, that we shall continue in the obedience of the doctrine and discipline of this kirk, and shall defend the same according to our vocation and power, all the days of our lives, under the pains continued in the law and danger both of body and soul, in the day of God’s fearful judgment.  And, seeing that many are stirred up by Satan and that Roman Antichrist, to promise, swear, subscribe, and for a time use the holy sacraments in the Kirk deceitfully against their own consciences, minding thereby, first, under the external cloak of religion, to corrupt and subvert secretly God’s true religion within the Kirk, and afterwards, when the time may serve, to become open enemies and persecutors of the same, under vain hope of the Pope’s dispensation devised against the Word of God, to his greater confusion, and their double condemnation in the day of the Lord Jesus.
