We believe that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interests and good order of human society; 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 coming Prince of the kings of the earth.
Tunaamini ya kwamba mamlaka imeamriwa na Mungu, kwa mipangilio mizuri ya Binadamu; kwamba maombi yanastahili kwa maahakimu, kupewa heshima na kuwatii, isipokuwa kwa mambo yale ambayo ni kinyume na mapenzi ya Bwana Yesu Kristo, Yule pekee ndio Bwana wa thamira, na mfalme wa wafalme ambaye yu aja duniani tena.
