I also confess that the higher powers are ordained
of God, for the punishment of the evil, and the protection
of the good; for they bear not the sword in
vain; to which powers the Scriptures command us
to be subject, and instruct us to pray for them, in
order that, as Paul says, we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life. Paul also calls the power the minister
of God. Therefore since he is the minister of God,
I would pray him that he would be pleased to be
merciful to me, even as God is merciful. I hereby
disclaim all fellowship with those who would resist
the power with the sword and violence, which I regard
as a doctrine of devils. Wis. 6:3; 1 Pet. 2:13;
Rom. 13:1,4; 1 Tim. 2:2.

I also believe in the resurrection of the dead, as it
is written, that all men shall rise from the dead in
their own bodies, when the Lord shall come in the
clouds, with his angels; then he shall judge every
one according to his works. Dan. 12:2; Job 19:25;
Matt. 25:31; 16:27.

In short, I believe all that a true Christian is
bound to believe of the holy church; and I believe
with my whole heart in the articles of the faith, and
will live and die therein. I hereby renounce all false
doctrines, heresies and sects, which are not in accordance
with God and his word. And if I have
erred in any respect through false doctrine, I pray
the Almighty God, to forgive me through his great
love and mercy.

570

Also, if I have sinned in any matter against the
Emperor, the King, or others, I pray them to forgive
me through the great love and mercy of God.
