    In general it may be observed that some provisions have been included in these Regulations that could have been left out, as they are stipulated in

    [344] our Church Order. Yet it was considered advisable to mention them express­ly so as to make these Regulations as complete and "self-contained" as was feasible. Everyone can notice that the provisions of our Church Order have been taken into consideration with these Regulations.

    In our discussion of the various articles of our Church Order we made several observations which the attentive reader will find back below. It is ex­pected that a repetition will not be boring but rather enlightening.
