6th That God hath not left all Mankind to perish in that Estate of sin and misery, but from all Eternity Elected some to everlasting Life & ordained to bring them into a State of Salvation by a Redeemer.


7th That the Lord Jesus Christ who is both God and Man, two distinct Natures, in one Person, is the only Redeemer of God's Elect, who hath offered up himself a Sacrifice unto God hath purchased everlasting Salvation for them and by his powerful and prevalent Intercession carries on the Work of Redemption sending his holy Spirit to Work Faith and Holiness in the Elect.


8th That the Spirit of God by working Faith in Us doth unite Us to Christ and makes Us spiritually Partakers of the

APPENDIX


Benefits of his Death, and Righteousness, insomuch that they who believe in his Name are justified from the Guilt of Sin, accepted by God, as Righteous (though but in Part sanctified) in Spirits, Souls and Bodies and have a Right to all the Privileges of the Sons of God.


That God requires of Us, as necessary Duties (though not Meritorious Conditions of Salvation) Faith, Repentance, and Holiness with a diligent Use of all the Means ap- pointed for the Application of Redemption, which are especially his Word contained in the old & New Testa- ments, the Sacraments of Baptism & the Lord Supper, Prayer and the Preaching of the Word.


That the moral Law doth forever bind all Persons to the Obedience thereof, and Christ in the Gospel doth not abate or dissolve but much Strengthens this Obligation.


11th We believe the general Resurrection of the Body with the Reunion of the Soul thereunto, so that they shall be jointly and together capable of being Subjects of Happiness or Misery to all Eternity.


12th


The great and general Judgment, that at the last Day, the Son of Man attended with his holy Angels shall appear and sitting on a throne of Glory shall judge the world in Righteousness, the sum of which shall be the Wicked shall go away into everlasting Punishment but the Righteous into Life eternal.


(a) With regard to the Church we acknowledge that our Lord Jesus Christ hath but One Catholic Church and Kingdom, comprehending all that are United to him whether in Heaven or Earth and do conceive the whole Multitude of visible Believers credibly professing faith in Christ and obedience to him with their Infant deed, com- monly called the visible Catholic Church to belong to Christs Spiritual Kingdom here upon Earth. That par- ticular Societies of Christians credibly professing Faith in Christ and Obedience to him, statedly joined together for ordinary Communion with One another in all the Ordi- nances of Christ, are particular churches, and are to be owned as instituted Churches of Christ, though differing in Apprehension and practise in some lesser Matters.

(b) That in Order to Persons being admitted as Members of the Church of Christ in full Communion in all the special Ordinances of the Gospel they ought to make a credible Profession of Holiness of real Friendship of Heart and cordial Subjection to Jesus Christ, and to be Persons without Scandal in their lives, sound in the Faith, and to a Judgment regulated by the Will of God, born of him, and the subjects of visible Holiness and Honesty. Such Persons and such only thereto have a Right to sealing Ordinances and to Baptism for their children. We con- ceive that a competent Member of such visible Saints, do become the capable Subjects of Stated Communion in all the special Ordinances of Christ upon their mutual de- clared Consent and Covenant to walk together in them according to Gospel Rule. That each particular Church hath a Right to chuse their own Officers and being fur- nished with such are duly qualified and Ordained accord- ing to the Gospel Rule, hath Authority from Christ for exercising and of enjoying all the Ordinances of Worship within itself.


(c) That the Pastor of the Church hath Authority from Christ to administer the Seals of the Covenant to the meet Subjects of them, to explain and enforce the great Doc- trines and Duties of Christianity upon his Brothers and hearers, and to go before them in all things, no less in Matters of Discipline, than in Doctrine, Faith and Prac- tice, and that acting in this Line the Brotherhood are to know him as over them, and obey, and submit to him in the Lord, but he hath no Right to make Laws or prescribe Rules of his own, or to put a Negative on the Church in any Case unless in matters merely official, in which Case he cannot be bound by the votes of the Brotherhood but hath Liberty of Conscience no less than all private Breth- ren, and must be allowed to act, or not, in Administring the Seals, or in the Discharge of other Parts of his office according to Conscience and the Apparent Will of God. We are of Opinion that Councils are warranted by the Word of God in weighty Matters for healing breaches con-

noting Difficulties and shewing churches and individ- ual Brethren what is the Mind & Will of Christ in particular Cases, and that it is often the Duty of churches to employ their Help and advice and that they ought to have a reverential Regard to their Opinion and advice, and not to depart from it without evident Reasons founded in the Word of God. We are also of Opinion that Churches have Liberty to chuse such Council as they Conscientiously judge best adapted to answer the End aimed at, and not to be tied to any Certain Body of Men and in such Councils, Elders and Messengers should have an Equal Voice. That in so great and weighty a matter as the calling and chusing a Pastor it is ordinarily requisite that every church consult and advise with the Pastors of Neighboring Churches, though at the same time we judge that it ought to be at the Election of every church what Pastors they will advise with in such Case and that it is the Duty of Brethren to advise with those who will probably give them the best Assistance. Further we (d) agree that although it may not be amiss to admit Persons to occa- sional Communion with Us for a certain Time upon Letters of Recommendation from the Churches of which they are Members, yet as many of the Churches do not hold that the credible profession of real Friendship to Christ and holiness of heart are necessary in Order to Per- sons being admitted to full Communion with them & as there are many church members in this land both un- sound in Doctrine, and immoral in their lives, we agree that we will not admit Persons thus recommended from Neighboring Churches to be fixed members of this church without obtaining some further Satisfaction with Regard to their Soundness in the Faith and real Friendship and Obedience to Christ than can be obtained from such Letters recommendatory.


Further we agree that all church Members ought to put themselves under the Care and Watch of some particular Churches and that we will not allow occasional Com- munion with Persons recommended from other Churches


265

for a longer Term than twelve Months if they do not within this Term give us satisfaction with regard to their Soundness in the Faith and their true Allegiance to our Lord Jesus Christ we do not expect that they will any longer desire occasional Communion with Us.

Borough Government


BOROUGH government as established in Connecticut is a modifica- tion of city government omitting some of the formal administra- tive machinery of a municipality. Though the exact distribution of powers differs from borough to borough according to the terms of the particular charter, Naugatuck's charter is representative. An elected Board of Warden and Burgesses have more authority and more responsibility than town selectmen but are not so powerful as a city mayor and councilmen. A budget of expendi- tures for public purposes is still voted by citizens at the annual town meeting, but actual spending is delegated to the Warden who, after approval by a finance committee of three burgesses, authorizes the Treasurer to make disbursements. Borough of- ficials are in general the same as for a town. The Warden appoints members of the Board of Charities; citizens elect a bi-partisan Board of Education. Naugatuck has maintained a town clerk as well as a borough clerk, the former in charge of town records, of vital statistics, and of land transfers, the latter of records of the borough as such.


The list of Wardens from 1893 to 1947 is as follows:
