Shared words: a regulation should be made

Post-crisis maintenance formula, both executed by Helaman re-establishing the church across all the land (45:22; 62:46). The 'a regulation should be made … the church' wording occurs at exactly 45:21 and 62:44; 51:22 and 62:47's 'regulations' are civil (war/law), not ecclesiastical. The institutional verb traces to Alma the elder (Mosiah 26:37 'Alma did regulate all the affairs of the church').
