51:4 And let my servant Edward Partridge, when he shall appoint a man his portion, 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 laws and covenants of the church, to belong to the church.

 51:5 And if he shall transgress and is not accounted worthy to belong to the church, he shall not have power to claim that portion which he has consecrated unto the bishop for the poor and needy of my church; therefore, he shall not retain the gift, but shall only have claim on that portion that is deeded unto him.

 51:6 And thus all things shall be made sure, according to the laws of the land.

 51:7 And let that which belongs to this people be appointed unto this people.

 51:8 And the money which is left unto this people-- let there be an agent appointed unto this people, to take the money to provide food and raiment, according to the wants of this people.

 51:9 And let every man deal honestly, and be alike among this people, and receive alike, that ye may be one, even as I have commanded you.

 51:10 And let that which belongeth to this people not be taken and given unto that of another church.

 51:11 Wherefore, if another church would receive money of this church, let them pay unto this church again according as they shall agree;

 51:12 And this shall be done through the bishop or the agent, which shall be appointed by the voice of the church.

 51:13 And again, let the bishop appoint a storehouse unto this church; and let all things both in money and in meat, which are more than is needful for the wants of this people, be kept in the hands of the bishop.
