6 Behold, this is mine ^aauthority, and the authority of my servants, and my preface unto the book of my ^bcommandments, which I have given them to ^cpublish unto you, O ^dinhabitants of the earth.

  13 And they shall ^aobserve the ^bcovenants and church articles to ^cdo them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be ^ddirected by the Spirit.

  4 And let my servant Edward Partridge, when he shall appoint a man his ^aportion, give unto him a writing that shall secure unto him his portion, that he shall hold it, even this right and this inheritance in the church, until he transgresses and is not accounted worthy by the voice of the church, according to the ^blaws and ^ccovenants of the church, to belong to the church.
