RESOLUTIONS
Of the learned and eminently pious Divine, JONATHAN ED . WARDS, Minister of the Gospel in Northampton, Massachu- setts, and afterwards President of the College in New-Jer- sey.
BEING sensible, that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat him by his grace to enable me to keep these resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ's sake.
Remember to read over these resolutions once a week.
1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God's glory, and my own good, profit, and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now or never so many myriads of ages hence. Resolved to do what- ever I think to be my duty, and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with ; how ma- ny and how great soever.
2. Resolved to be continually endeavoring to find out some new invention and contrivance to promote the forementioned things.
3. Resolved never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God ; nor be nor suffer it if I can avoid it.
4. Resolved never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it the most profitable way I can.
5. Resolved to live with all my might while I do live.
6. Resolved never to do any thing, which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
7. Resolved to think much on all occasions of my
4
own dying and of the common circumstances which attend death.
8 Resolved, when I think of any theorem in di- vinity to be solved, immediately to do what I can fo- wards solving it, if circumstances do not hinder.
8. Resolved to be endeavoring to find out fit ob- jects of charity and liberality.
10. Resolved, never to do any thing out of revenge.
11. Resolved, never to suffer the least motions of anger to irrational beings.
12. Resolved, that I will live as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.
13. Resolved, to live so at all times, as I think is best in my devout frames, and when I have clearest notions of things of the Gospel and another world.
14. Resolved, to maintain the strictest temperance in eating and drinking.
15. Resolved, never to do any thing, which if I should see in another, I should count a just occasion to despise him for, or to think any way the more meanly of him.
16. Resolved, whenever I do any conspicuously evil action, to trace it back till I come to the original cause; and then both carefully endeavor to do so no more, and to fight and pray with all my might against the original of it.
17. Resolved, to study the scriptures so steadily, constantly, and frequently, as that I may find and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.
18. Resolved, to strive to my utmost every week to be brought higher in religion, and to a higher exer- cise of grace, than I was the week before.
19. Resolved, to be strictly and firmly faithful to my trust, that that in Proverbs xx. 6, a faithful man who can find ? may not be partly fulfilled in me.
20. Resolved, always to do what I can towards making, maintaining and establishing peace, when it can be without overbalancing detriment in other re- spects.
21. Resolved, in narrations never to speak any thing but the pure and simple verity.
5
22. Resolved, never to speak evil of any, except I have some particular call for it.
23. Resolved, to inquire every night as I am going to bed, wherein I have been negligent, what sin I have committed, and wherein I have denied myself ; also at the end of every week, month, and year.
24. Resolved, never to speak any thing, that is ri- diculous, or matter of laughter, on the Lord's day.
25. Resolved, never to do any thing, that I so much question the lawfulness of, as that I mean at the same time to consider and examine afterwards, whether it be lawful or no ; except as I much ques- tion the lawfulness of the omission.
26. Resolved, to ask myself at the end of every day, week, month and year, wherein I could possi- bly, in any respect have done better.
27. Resolved, frequently to renew the dedication of myself to God, which was made at my baptism, which I solemnly renewed, when I was received into the communion of the Church, and which I have solemn- ly renewed this 12th day of January, 1722.
28. Resolved, never hence forward till I die, to act as if I were in any way my own, but entirely and al- together God's, agreeably to what is to be found in Saturday, January 12th.
29. Resolved, never to allow the least measure of fretting uneasiness at my father or mother. Resolved to suffer no effects of it, so much as in the least alter- ation of speech, or motion of my eye, and to be espe- cially careful of it with respect to any of our family.
30. Resolved, to endeavour to my utmost to deny whatever is not most agreeable to a good and univer- sally sweet and benevolent, quiet, peaceable, con- tented, easy, compassionate, generous, humble, meek, modest, submissive, obliging, diligent, and industri- ous, charitable, even patient, moderate, forgiving, sin- cer temper ; and to do at all times what such a tem- per would lead me to ; examine strict every week whether I have done so.
31. Resolved, constantly, with the utmost nice- ness and diligence, and the strictest scrutinv, to be
1*
6
looking into the state of my soul, that I may know whether I have truly an interest in Christ or not ; that when I come to die, I may not have any negli- gence with respect to this to repent of.
32. Resolved, I will act so, as I think I shall judge would have been best and most prudent, when I come to the future world.
33, I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again. Resolved that I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.
34. Whenever I hear any thing spoken in conver- sation of any person, if I think it would be praise- worthy in me, resolved to endeavor to imitate it.
35. Resolved, to endeavour to my utmost to act, as I can think I should do, if I had already seen the hap- piness of heaven, and hell torments.
36. Resolved, never to give over, or in the least to slacken my fight with my corruptions, however un- successful I may be.
37. Resolved, when I fear misfortunes and adversi- ties, to examine whether I have done my duty, and resolve to do it ; and let it be just as Providence or- ders it, I will, as far as I can, be concerned about nothing but my duty and my sin.
38. Resolved, never to do any thing but duty, and according to Eph. iv. 6-8, do it willingly and cheer- fully, as unto the Lord, and not to man, knowing that whatever good thing a man doth, the same shall be receive of the Lord.
39. Resolved, very much to exercise myself in this all my life long, namely, with the greatest openness I am capable of, to declare my ways to God, and lay open my soul to him, all my sins, temptations, diffi- culties, sorrows, fears, hopes, desires, and every thing and every circumstance, according to Mauton's 27th sermon on the 119th Psalm.
40. Resolved, after afflictions, to inquire what I am the better for them, what good I have got by them, and what I might have got by them.
7
VISITING.
. The Church, believing it to be a peculiar privilege, as well as a duty of the highest importance, to culti- vate with each other, and constantly to exhibit, the graces of Christian affection and sympathy ; and that those who are members of Christ's family should not be strangers to each other, but should fulfil the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens. And also that meeting together and " speaking often one to another" freely and familiarly on our own spiritual condition and the habitual exercises of our minds- exhorting and encouraging, praying with and for each other, are some of the most efficient means of raising the standard of Christian attachment and promoting spiritual interest, comfort and growth in grace :
It is therefore earnestly recommended to the mem- bers of this Church that they meet often in small cir- cles for the purpose of prayer and such religious con- versation, as shall enable them to understand each other's feelings, views, desires, purposes, hopes, fears, doubts and prospects in relation to their spiritual con- cerns ; giving to each other such counsel, admonition, and instruction as their respective cases may seem to require.
With a view to facilitate the above object, and in some degree to systematize the plan of visiting, the church is divided into six wards as follows :
1. N. West Ward. Which embraces all the mem- bers residing in the Upper Factory and Tolend Districts.
2. North Ward. Embracing all the members resid- ing in Garrison-hill district, in Somersworth, on the main road leading to the upper Bridge and on the streets west of the same and north of the river.
3. East Ward. Embracing all the members resid- ing on the east side of the river, and easterly of the main road leading to the upper Bridge.
4. Central Ward. Embracing all the members re- siding south and west of the river to Washington street, and on Central street, and on Court street and north of it.
8
5. South Ward. Embracing all the members resi- ding on Pleasant street, and streets west of it, Dover Neck and Back river.
· 6. West Ward. Embracing all the members resid- . ing on Silver street, and north of it, and Littleworth districts.
There will also be appointed yearly six committees numbered from 1 to 6, of two brethren each, whose duty will be to visit in rotation, in meetings of such numbers as may be most convenient, all the members of the church in each ward, according to the plan of the following table :-

Resolutions of this Church respecting removal of Mem- bership, passed March 15th, 1835.
1. Resolved, That we believe it to be the duty of members of this church going, permanently, to reside within the limits of another orthodox Congregational church, to remove their relation to such church within a reasonable time.
2. Resolved, That it be a standing rule of this church, that the invitation to members of other Con- gregational churches, to our communion, shall not be considered as extending, except in extraordinary ca- ses, to those who may have become permanent resi- dents among us, and whose residence is of more than one year's standing.
Resolution and Vote of this Church on TEMPERANCE, passed May 19th, 1833.
Resolved, That the use of ARDENT SPIRIT as a Drink, or the traffic in it as a Drink, under the light which at the present day prevails as to its baneful ef- fects on the social and moral condition of the com- munity, is inconsistent with such evidence of chris- tian character as ought to entitle any one to admission into the fellowship of the church of Christ.
Voted, That every person hereafter proposed for admission into this church, shall be examined as to his or her views of the use of, and traffic in ARDENT SPIRIT by professing christians ; and no person shall be hereafter admitted as a member of this church, who shall not be willing to covenant to abstain whol- ly from the use of Ardent Spirit as a Drink, or the traffic in it.

13 COVENANT.
We do now, in the presence of God, angels and men, solemnly consecrate ourselves and all that we have to the Lord Jehovah, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, in an everlasting covenant, to be his willing servants forever. Relying upon the assistance of his Spirit, we resolve and promise to discharge faithfully and conscientiously the duties appropriately devolv- ing upon us, in the sanctuary, social prayer-meeting, family and closet. We will strive to deny all ungod- liness and every worldly lust; to avoid even the ap- pearance of evil, and to live in strict accordance with the doctrines, precepts, and ordinances which we have now acknowledged in the articles of our faith.
We also covenant with this church of Christ, that we will regularly worship and commune with them, and walk with them in Christian fellowship and love ; that we will bear our proportion according to our abil- ity in maintaining the worship of God in this church and congregation ; and we will also devote a portion of our substance to promote the Redeemer's Kingdom in the world. We will conform to the discipline of this church as enjoined by Christ in his Gospel, and particularly in the 18th chapter of Matthew, and so long as we shall continue members, we will endeavor to promote its purity, peace, and edification.
Do you thus covenant and engage ?
[DECLARATION. ]
We now receive you to the communion and care of this church, regarding you as a member of the body of Christ. We ourselves acknowledge the same cov- enant obligations into which you have now entered. We pray that God would grant us grace to be faith- ful to this covenant, and to glorify him with that ho- liness which becomes his house.
And now, beloved, let it be impressed upon your minds, that the vows of the Lord are upon you, they will follow you through life, to the retributions of eternity, and in whatever world you may be found, will abide with you forever.
