ABSTRACT
It is the beginning of our land defence section that Jesus Christ, the crucified, the true God and the son of God and the Virgin Mary, king of kings, from whom all power and government derives, may he be our protection and the custodian of all of Norway’s people forever. In the name of this same Jesus Christ, our lawful King of Norway shall decide over orders and bans and our travels as part of military campaigns. And rule by law and not lawlessness, for the glory of God, for his gain and our benefit. We shall not refuse him levy duty or conscription if he issues these according to the conditions that here follow.
