Having been led as we believe. by the Spirit of God. to receive
the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and on the profession of our
faith. having been baptized in the name of the Father. and of the
Son. and of the Holy Ghost. we do now. in the presence of God.
angels. and this assembly. most solemnly and joyfully enter into
covenant with one another. as one body in Christ.

We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk
together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this
church, in its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship.
ordinances. discipline. and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and
regularly to the support of the ministry. the expenses of the
church. the relief of the poor. and the spread of the gospel
through all nations.

We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion: to religiously
educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred
and acquaintances: to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just
in our dealings. faithful in our engagements. and exemplary in our
department; to avoid all tattling, backbiting. and excessive anger;
to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage.
and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of
our Saviour.

We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love;
to remember each other in prayer: to aid each other in sickness
and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy
in speech: to be slow to take offence. but always ready for
reconciliation. and. mindful of the rules of our Saviour. to secure
it without delay.

We moreover engage. that when we-remove from this place we.
I will. as soon as possible. unite with some other church. where we
can carry out the spirit of this Covenant. and the principles of
God’s word.
