COVENANT. Through Christ strengthening us, without whom we can do nothing, here in the jDresence of God, angels, and men, we humbly covenant, from this time hence- forth and for ever, that we do renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil ; that we do give up ourselves, soul and body, all that we have and are, unto God, our Father, to love and to serve him, and to be his, and at his disposal in all things ; unto the Lord Je- sus Christ, our Saviour, Prophet, Priest and King, for our salvation and his glory, to be taught, strength- ened, governed and employed in all the relations and circumstances of life ; and unto the Holy Ghost, our Sanctifier, to be influenced, edified, and comforted by his gracious power, unto all Christian perfection and usefulness. And we do further promise, that we will walk with this Church in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, and in love and charity with all its mem- bers ; resolving, for their encouragement and our own spiritual progress, that we will endeavor, by personal eff'ort and influence, to promote its purity, efficiency, and enlargement. Do yoii thus solemnly covenant and promise ? Then doth this Church affectionately receive you to its membership, and welcome you to all the privileges, labors, and blessings of the Household of Faith. Thus you are admitted to this Church, and liave a right to all its privileges. May you have grace to improve them to the glory of God and your own edification.
