FORM OF ADMISSION.
ADDRESS.
BELOVED :
You present yourselves before Gon and his Church, to pro- fess your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and to take upon you the bonds of his Covenant. You have deeply considered the nature of this solemn transaction, and now appear in this public manner to surrender yourselves up as a living sacrifice to God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You have beon examined on your knowledge and experience of the doctrine of grace, and you will now profess your belief of the same, before these witnesses.
CONFESSION OF FAITH.
I. We believe that there is one only living and true God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost ; a being possessed of every possible perfection, infinite in power, wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.
II. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are given by inspiration of God, and that they contain the only perfect rule of faith and practice.
III. We believe that God made all things for himself ; and that he governs the universe according to the counsel of his own will, and that all events will be made subservient to his wise and benevolent designs.

IV. We believe that man was created in the image of God, in a state of recitude and holiness; that he fell from that state by transgressing the divine law ; and that in conse- quence of the original apostacy, the heart of man in his nat- ural state is destitute of holiness and inclined to evil ; and that all men previous to regeneration are dead in trespasses and sins.
V. We believe that Christ Jesus has, by his sufferings and death, made atonement for sin, and that all who are saved are justified wholly by grace through the redemption which is in Christ.
VI. We believe that salvation is freely offered to all men, and that all inen are under obligation immediately to embrace the gospel ; but that such is the depravity of the human heart, that no man will come to Christ until he be renewed by the special agency of the Holy Spirit.
VII. We believe that all who embrace the gospel were from the beginning chosen unto salvation, through sanctifica- tion of the Spirit and belief of the truth ; and that they will be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
VIII. We believe that there will be a resurrection of the just and of the unjust, and a day of general judgment; and that the wicked will go away into punishment, and the right- eous into happiness, both of which will be without end.
IX. We believe that in this world the Lord Jesus Christ has a visible church, the terms of admission to which are re- generation, baptism, and a public profession of faith in Christ ; that the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper are to be observed to the end of the world ; that none but members of the visible church have a right to the Lord's Sup- por, and that such only have a right to dedicate their infant offspring in baptism ..
Do You thus profess and believe ?
[ Baptism here administered.]
COVENANT.
CONFESSING' that you are sinful, gailty, and dependent- that you have forsaken Gon your Maker, and lived under the influence of that carnal mind which is enmity against Ilim and llis laws,-and henceforth renouncing the destructive ways of sin, and disclaiming all dependence on yourself, you do now, in the presence of God and men, solemnly choose and take the LORD JEHOVAHI to be your Gon and FATHER-IIis equal and eternal Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to be your only Saviour-the HOLY SPIRIT to be your sanctifier, guido" . and comforter ; and the Scriptures of the Old and New Testa' ments to be the rule of your faith and practice.
DEDICATION.
In the same public and solemn manner you dedicate your_ self to GoD in the bonds of his everlasting covenant, unreserv- edly surrendering all that you have and are to his sovereign disposal-engaging, by his assistance, to live henceforth to Him, and not to yourself ; and to aim, whatever you do, to do all to His glory.
FIDELITY.
In humble dependence on Divine Grace, you bind yourself to a faithful and persevering performance of the various duties which you owe to Gop, to your fellow-creatures, and to your- Self-to bring up your children and all committed to your care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and to use your influence, in every relation in life, to promote the cause and interest of the ever blessed REDEEMER.
You also covenant and engage that you will diligently at- tend on all Christian ordinances, and hold communion in them with this Church,-especially in the ordinances of Bap- tism and the Lord's Supper ; that you will watch over the
8
Brethren in love, faithfully reproving them when they go astray ; and that you will submit to the discipline of CHRIST in his house, and to the regular administration of it in this Church-in all things seeking its peace and welfare, until re_ moved by death or regular dismission.
Do you, by the help of Divine Grace, thus profess, promise, and covenant ?
RECEPTION.
Then, in the presence of God and these witnesses, and in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you are received into his visible Church; and we, the members of this Church, [here the members of the Church rise] covenant and engage to walk to- wards you in the fellowship of the gospel, to watch over you in love, to admonish you in mekness when overtaken in a fault, and to seek your edification while you continue in the communion of this Church.
9
CONCLUDING ADDRESS.
AND now, beloved in the Lord, you have come under solemn obligations, from which you cannot escape. Wherever you go these vows will be upon you ;- and should you have occa- sion to change your place of residence, it will be your duty to seek, and ours to grant, a recommendation to another Church ; for hereafter you can NEVER withdraw from the watch and communion of the Saints, without a breach of Covenant. You have unalterably committed yourselves, and henceforth you must be the servants of the Lord. Hereafter the eyes of the world will be upon you ; and as you demean yourselves, so will religion be honored or disgraced. If you walk worthy of your profession, you will be a credit and a comfort to us ; but if otherwise, you will be to us a grief of heart and a vexation. Strive, therefore, to walk in the fear of God. Count not that you have already attained the high moral elevation to which you should aim, but with unfailing perseverance PRESS on until you Do attain it. Shrink not at the cross. Remember Him who hath gone before you, and who reckoned not his own life dear unto himself, that he might bring you in peace to his blessed abode. And now, be loved, we commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you and us an in- heritance among all them who are sanctified. Amen.

OF ECCLESIASTICAL PRINCIPLES AND CHURCH ORGANIZATION.
I. This Church is subject to the Lord Jesus Christ alone and under him possesses full powers for the regulation of its own affairs, and is amenable to no other ecclesiastical body except by its own consent, and according to established Con. gregational usage. In the admission, discipline, and removal of its members, it will proceed according to its own under- standing of the word of God.
II. Though claiming to be independent, this Church holds itself bound to the duties of Christian charity towards all Evangelical Churches, and to respect the decisions of all regu- lar Councils, and to seek the peace and unity of all true be. lievers in the world.
III. The permanent Officers of this Church are the Pastor and Dea: ons. To the Pastor pertains the office of Moderator of all meetings of the Church and Committee, and in his ab- sence one of the Deacons ; and in absence of the Pastor and Deacons, any other member of the Church may be called to the chair. The Deicons are to assist in the administration of the Lord's Supper, provide for the poor, and aid the Pastor in the spiritual care of the flock.
IV. None shall be admitted to the communion of the Church but such persons as are sound in doctrine, without scandal in their lives, and are walking in visible holiness and cordial subjection to the Lord Jesus Christ,

OF THE QUALIFICATION AND ADMISSION OF MEMBERS.
ART. I. This Church expects that each candidate for admission give evidence of regeneration, and assent to the faith and covenant of this Church.

Candidates are to be examined by the Pastor and the Committee of the Church, chosen for that purpose, and must stand propounded before the Church and the Congrega- tion two weeks previous to their public admission, except in extraordinary cases ; and the question of admission must be taken by vote, in a meeting of the Church.
ART. III. This Church admits members of other regular Churches to occasional communion, on condition of their complying with the rules which this Church has adopted for the regulation of its own members; but not for a longer time than one year, unless they assign satisfactory reasons for de- laying to produce dismissions and recommendations from the Churches to which they belong.
ART. IV. Members of other Churches wishing to unite with this Church are received when they produce a regular dismission and recommendation, and give satisfactory evidence of piety ; being propounded at least one week before their ad- mission.

ART. Il. Any member, who shall deny any of the funda- mental doctrines which are embraced by this Church, and which he professed on his admission, shall be admonished ; if he persists, after the first and second admonition, he shall be rejected from the fellowship of this Church.
ART. III. Any member is competent to bring a charge be- fore the Church, against any transgressor. 2

SECTION V.
OF WITHDRAWING FROM THE CHURCH.

ART. II. This Church deems it irregular for their members to withdraw from them, and to unite in communion and wor_ ship with other Churches, either on account of any offence, or for better edification, without giving notice to the Church, and requesting a dismission.
ART. III. It shall be the duty of every member of this Church, who may remove from the town to reside in any oth- er place, to apply as soon as convenient for a dismission and
15
recommendation to some regular Church of CHRIST, in or : near the place of his residence. Should any member neglect to make such application within a year after his settlement in any other place, he shall not receive a recommendation from this Church, unless he assign a satisfactory reason for his delay, and produce a certificate from the Church to which he wishes to be recommended, that he has maintained a Christian character during his residence among them.
