CONFESSION OF FAITH AND CHURCH COVENANT DISCUSSED, 1794 385
insisted on, by the Committee of this Chh, as a doctrine which this Chh, (as well as others) have, from the beginning, held as a founda- tion Doctrine of ye Bible, & which we can never give up, as we view it to be the great Ground of all our hope here, & happiness hereafter - This, therefore, it was much insisted, ought expressly & unre- servedly to be acknowledged, by those who wish for Admission into this Chh - to which some of the Precinct's Comittee wd not agree -together with wth Other important Doctrines, which, as it appears to us, are equally clearly held up in the Word of God, y only Rule of our Faith & Practice.
Agreably to this, The Pastor also, (as was before desired) pro- duced & read a Form of Confession of Faith, & Chh Covenant - which he had drawn up, exhibiting a general View of the great Protestant Doctrines, call'd Calvanistic, which have been held by this & the Prot- estant Chhes in general, ever since the Reformation from Popery
To this form, of Confess" of faith, & Covenant, the Committee of this Chh, now present, manifested their hearty concurrence, & doubted not it was conformable to y. Minds of this Chh universally. - But To the same, some Gentlemen of y. other Comittee, signified, they could not agree, - And thus, after a long & friendly Conversation, (not agreeing in any particular plan or Mode, different from that already in use in this Chh) the two Committees, in a friendly manner, broke up, & parted.

Oct 23ª Thursday. P M, the Church met, according to Noti- fication, (See top of last Page 1) at the house of Doct Cotton, & after Prayer, there being a full Meeting, entered on ye consideration of several Subjects, agreable to ye design of ye Meeting, viz, Chh Dis- cipline - And at this time, as was desired, A Report of ye proceed- ings of the Chh's Committee, in their Conference with the Precincts Comittee, (See two last Pages 2) was given to the Chh - On which, they unanimously manifested & express'd their Approbation of the Conduct of their Committee, on that Occasion - & also of the forms of Confession of faith & Covenant,' exhibited by the Pastor at the aforsd Conference, & which were also now read to the Chh. In special, they unanimously agreed in their Opinion of the Truth & Importance

of that great & fundamental Doctrine of the Divinity of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ, & also That they could not, in Conscience, admit any person into our Communion, who was of a contrary Opinion, particularly on account of the practical tendency of such an Error, in promoting Dissension, & Discord in the Chh, & preventing that cordial fellowship & Love, which ought always to subsist among Brethren of the same Church, " that there may be no Schism in the Body " of Christ.
Vote.
The Chh, likewise Voted, that inasmuch as some Members of the Congregation, have manifested a Dislike of Relations being read pub- lickly, (when persons are propounded to the Church) before the congregation are dismiss'd, (Voted) that this Chh, not willing to retain any, contrary to their minds, on such an Occasion, are willing that such Relations be read, in future, after the Blessing is given - Notice being given to the Congregation, of this Change, that those only may stay, who incline.
Voted Also to choose a Comittee to join with the Pastor, in drawing up a Confession of faith for this Chh to deliberate upon, at their next meeting, & see if it be agreable to them to adopt it, as 1 their belief ? & to ' be acknowledged by all who do now belong to, or may here- after join themselves to, this Chh - for ye reasons before mentiond, to promote Union & fellowship among Brethren in this Church &c [91 4] This Committee thus chosen, consisted of our Brethren William Watson- Deacon Crombie, Deacon Spooner & John Cobb, wth ye Pastor. The greatest Unanimity, & cordial, brotherly Affection were apparent at this meeting, which, as it was begun, so was concluded by Prayer .- May such ever be the Character & ye Glory of this Chh!

Voted 2ª That in future, the Chh Meeting or Conference on the Subject of Discipline, & also the 1 Semiannual Contribution, be in the Months of June & January, yearly.
The Pastor then comunicated a Proposal, from a great Number of Ministers, of 2 different Denominations, to unite in carrying into Execution, the Late President Edwards's " Humble Attempt to pro- mote explicit Agreement & Visible .Union of God's people in ex- traordinary Prayer to God, for the Revival of Religion & Advance- ment of Christ's Kingdom on Earth agreable to Scripture Promises & Prophecies concerning the last times - founded on Zech 8.20.21.22" &c A Part of the first printed circular Letter was read to the Church, relating to this Subject - the remaining part, with the 2ª letter, already recieved, (giving account of the Success of the proposed plan, & the Approbation of various Ministers, of different Denomi- nations, & Associations - Presybteries & Synods, in Various3 parts of the United States) is 4. reserved, to be comunicated, by divine Leave, to the whole Congregation the next Lord's Day. - The Chh having thus a knowledge of ye general Plan & Design of the Concert - Did

fession of Faith for the Church's Consideration, & Adoption if they see fit, in Conformity to the Practice of almost all other Churches in the Land, did lay before the Chh, at this time, a short Summary of the principal Articles of the 1 Christian Faith, drawn from the Holy Scriptures - which, after due deliberation & free Conversation thereon, the Chh did unanimously Vote to accept and adopt the same, as expressive of their Belief of those great & fundamental doc- trines of Religion, as revealed in the Holy Word of God, & that ? the same be acknowledged by all who now belong to, or may here- after join themselves to this Chh, with a View to preserve Order, Unity, Peace & christian Fellowship in this antient Chh - being the same Doctrines on which this Chh was at first founded, & which have ever been acknowledged by it, from the days of their Forefathers - as well as by Protestant Churches in general since the Reformation from Popery.
The Confession of Faith, thus adopted, is as follows.
I believe in one only living & true God, the great Creator and Gov- ernor of all things.
I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, as " God manifest in y flesh," who came into the world to seek & save lost Sinners, and who is the only Mediator between God & Man.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, who by his divine Power doth renew & sanctify the Souls of his People.'
I believe the Scriptures of the Old & New Testament to be the Word of God, & the only Rule of Faith & Practice.
I believe that " God made Man upright," but that " being in honor, he abode not," but fell from a State of Innocency, by transgressing the Law of God - & I believe, that he, thereby lost the Image of God, consisting in Righteousness & true Holiness, & that, in Consequence hereof, the whole human race became subject to that Death which was threatned in the Law, & so, "are by Nature Children of Wrath."
I believe, therefore, the absolute Necessity of Regeneration by the Holy Spirit, & that " Except a Man be born again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven."

CONFESSION OF FAITH ADOPTED, 1795.
[º3] 1795 Chh Records continued
I believe a Sinner is " justified freely by the Grace of God, thro faith in Jesus Christ - & that the Righteousness wrought out by Christ, by his obedience unto Death, is the only Foundation of a Sinner's Hope. . .
I believe that a true " Faith is the Gift of God," & that it always purifieth the heart, & is productive of Good Works.
I believe the Necessity of Evangelical Repentance, & New Obedience, and that " Without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord."
I believe that "the Righteous," or true Believer, " shall hold on his way," & " shall endure to the End," and that, thro the Promise of God & the Intercession of Christ, he shall be " kept by the Power of God," & shall never finally fall from a State of Grace but shall persevere in holiness, unto Eternal Life, & that " Christ having loved his own, he loveth them unto the End."
I believe "there will be a Resurrection of the Dead, both of the Just & the Unjust."
I believe in a Judgment to come, & that "Jesus Christ will be the Judge, both of the quick & the Dead."
I believe, that the Righteous will, at the great Day, be openly acquitted & adjudged to Everlasting Life. - And
I believe that the Wicked will, at that Day, be sentenced to "Ever- lasting Destruction from the presence of the Lord & the Glory of his Power." Amen.
Voted, 2ª The Church then Voted unanimously, that, at some proper Time, shortly, (when there shall be a prospect of the Mem- bers being able to attend as universally as may be) the Members of this Chh will publickly, in a solemn Manner, declare their Assent to the above Confession of Faith, as expressive of their Sense of the Holy Scriptures, relative to the articles herein mentioned. - At the same time -
Voted. 3. The Chh voted also, that, agreably to the frequent Practice of this antient Chh, in former times, this Chh will, on the same Occasion, in a publick & solemn Manner, openly renew their Covenant with God & one another - hoping it may be a means of animating & exerting one another to walk more, as becometh Saints, & agreably to the solemn Vows of God that lie upon us.
The utmost harmony & Unanimity prevailed in all our Delibera-
