[256] The Deacons Ordination = Charge May. 3. 1724.
The Glorious King of the Church (& world) the SON of GOD, our LORD JESUS CHRIST Instituted the holy office of Deaconship, by Inspiration to His Apostles, in the Primitive Church : and appointed that even the Gentile-Churches should have Men (Qualifyed as He has 'specially Directed,) Chosen unto, & Invested with the Said Office. Acts. 6. 3-6. I Tim. 3. 8, 9.
252
DORCHESTER CHURCH RECORDS
Although the office of Deaconship is Ecclesiastical & Sacred, Yet 'tis Specificated & Limited unto the Temporal Good Things of the Church, which are offered & dedicated unto the Honour & Service of God, for the Uses of Piety & Charity.
And whosoever are Appointed to this office are to be Helps to ye Elders & to the whole Church. I Cor. 12. 28.
Of the Churches Outward Treasure; of all Offerings and Gifts (given to the Church for the Supply of outward needs the Care & Management belongs to the Deacons ; & there- with the Deacons are to Serve ye Tables, which the Church is to Provide for, (saith our Synod Book, call'd ye Platform) as Namely the LORD'S Table, the Table of the ministers of the word of God, And of Such as are in Necesity: To whom they are to Distribute in Simplicity, or Singlenesse of Heart.
Ordination is the Solemn Comitting of office - Ecclesias- tical unto Persons to whom that office doth belong; the solemn putting of them into the actual Possession of that Place, Station, Dignity, Trust & Charge in the Church of GOD that they were Chosen to & had Accepted of.
And Ordination is Performed by Laying on the Hands of the Eldership, with Solemn Prayer to GOD in CHRIST, In which Prayer, the Persons on whom the Said Hands are Laid are Solemnly offerd up to GOD in CHRIST, for that office & Service that they are Called unto; and the LORD is earnestly Implored & besought to Accept of Them; and to Assist them, and to make them Blessings therein. Thus by Prayer & laying on of their hands, the Apostles solemnly Installed into the Sacred = office of Deaconship, the first Deacons of the Primitive Church wherefore
[257]
Wherefore the Church of CHRIST in this Place (viz the Elders, Deacons & Fraternity of Fullcommunicants,) having Chosen You, our Dear Brethren M' Hopestill Clap & m" Nathanael Topliff, on whom we have now Laid our Hands & Prayed, into the office of Deaconship among them, and you having Accepted thereof .
We do in the Name of our LORD Jesus CHRIST, The Glorious Head of the Church in Heaven & on Earth, Ordain you to be Deacons of this Church, and Putt You into the Possession & Administration of that -holy & honorable Office of Deaconship in which you are to conjoyn that Aged & Honoured Person who Was in that office before You.
253
DORCHESTER CHURCH RECORDS
And forasmuch as GOD hath set you Up in His Church, not to be Letts, but to be Helps, We Solemnly Charge You to watch, & to Pray, & to Labour all that You can, that You may . . . Promote & Further all Religion & Vertue & Charity & Peace & Beneficence among Us; And Up- rightly, & Prudently, & Faithfully, & with Great Humility, & yet with liberty & holy Courage, & without Fear, and without Partiality, & in Singlenesse of Heart, as towards GOD, Discharge (not only every Part of your work as Chris- tians, But also) every Part of Your Office as Deacons ; - accountably to God & OUR LORD JESUS XT and to your own Consciences, & to the Elders & to the Church ;
(by the help of CHRIST ; )
And we Assure You (for your Comfort,) that so Using & Discharging the office of Deaconship well, by the Grace & Help of Your Glorious LORD & Ours, You Will (tho' without any proper merit of your own, yet of Gods ... Infinite Mercy) Purchase or gain or obtain to yourselves a good degree and Great Boldnesse in the Faith. I Tim. 3. 13. and when the Great Shepherd shall appear, You shall Receive a Crown of Glory that fadeth not away.
Amen.
