Executed March 31, 1761.
" N. B. That by the church of Christ, mentioned in the last legacy of the foregoing testament, is to be understood a church in the parish of Newington, in Wethersfield, regulated according to the Religious Constitution of the Colony of Connecticut, owned and established by the authority of the same. This explan- ation made before signing."
Dr. Brace, in his church records, has the following entry in relation to this legacy, " How the church fund was directed from 1761 to 1787, I do not find. (Probably it was not received till 1787. R. W.) The fund itself consisted of two ten-pound notes. The interest has not been quite sufficient to defray the expense of the communion table. In 1805 there was a contribution to supply the deficiency of several years. In 1814 there was contribution for the same purpose. In 1818 there was a contribution. In 1819, Jan- uary 1, Deacon Origen Wells began to furnish the table, and after 21 years called for a contribution to supply the deficiency, about $10 in the whole 21 years. Sabbath, Jan. 5, 1840, the church contributed about $16 to repay Dea. Wells, and to furnish an advance for several years. The whole fund is now in the hands of Dea. Origen Wells, $66.66.6 for which Dea. Wells is accountable, and for which he pays the interest yearly. March 17, 1846." Dea. Wells resigned Nov. 29, 1849, on account of the loss of sight, when Jeremiah Seymour was chosen deacon in his place. This fund still remains in the hands of the deacons of the church.

NOTE.
The original manuscript containing these church records is without covers, and about the size of a school writing-book. The paper coarse and unruled. The leaves worn and frayed. The writing very fine and very much crowded. The first and last leaves have evidently become detached, and are lost. As the " ad- missions to communion " stand first in the record the commencement of those
116
entries is gone, and as " deaths " stand at the close, these entries are lost after the date Aug. 31, 1772. It appears, by a memorandum on one of the leaves, that these records were delivered to Mr. Brace, October 16, 1812, about a year before Mr. Belden's death. They have probably remaincd at the parsonage ever since, till quite recently.
CHURCH COVENANT AND ARTICLES OF FAITH.
(In the time of Mr. Belden.)
You believe, That there is one only living and true God, the Almighty Maker and constant Preserver of Heaven and Earth, the rightful Supreme Lord over all. That in God there are three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who are the same in substance, equal in power and glory. That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the word of God, and the only rule of faith and practice.
You believe, That God made man, at first, in a holy and happy state ; that all mankind, by their apostacy from and rebellion against God, have exposed themselves to his wrath and curse, have fallen into a state of sin and misery, and are utterly unable to deliver and save themselves ; but that God, out of the infinite riches of his free grace, sent his only begotten son into the world, to be a Saviour, to die, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God ; and that He has graciously made a promise of pardon and eternal life, and all the saving benefits of the Redeemer's purchase to all that sincerely repent of their sins, believe in, heartily receive, and rest upon Christ for salvation, as He is offered in the Gospel, who, at the last great day being raised from the dead, shall be adjudged to eternal life, but all others to everlasting punishment.
