<HEAD>THE PREFACE.</HEAD>
<P>SEeing the &s;incere making and keeping our Covenant with God in Chri&s;t is a chief part of the Chri&s;tian Religion, and a matter of Ab|&s;olute Nece&s;&s;ity to our Salvation; and the pronene&s;s of our &s;infull hearts to unfaithfullne&s;s and Backsliding, doth require us often to Renue our Re&s;olutions and Covenants; and the Word of God, and example of the Churches, do encourage us hereto; e&s;pecially at the Re|&s;toring or Reforming of a Church which hath fallen into Confu&s;ion, Ignorance, Errour or Profanene&s;s, which is too much the Ca&s;e of us and too many Congregations in <HI>England;</HI> And becau&s;e Mini&s;ters cannot well know who are members of the Churches, and who not, and &s;o mu&s;t be Ignorant of the extent of their Charges and Duties, without an expre&s;&s;ion of their Peoples Con&s;ent; and for want of this Mini&s;ters are at &s;uch &V;ncertainties, and Churches in &s;uch di&s;order, and the Duties of Pa&s;tors and People &s;o Defectively performed; whereby many being offended have been occa&s;ioned to &s;eparate, &s;uppo&s;ing our Churches to have been no true Churches, nor our Mini&s;ters true Mini&s;ters, for want of a more expre&s;s Con&s;ent and Combination. And &s;eeing the Pastors cannot with any probability of &s;ucce&s;s, or without great offence to the People, perform tho&s;e Acts of Teaching and Ruling which Christ hath made the Work of their Office, without the Peoples expre&s;s Con&s;ent (though the &s;ign it &s;elf be not particularly determined.) To the end therefore that we may be the fa&s;ter tyed to Chri&s;t and one another, and may more Faithfully di&s;charge our mutuall Duties; and this Church may be more Reformed, and the Di&s;cipline of Chri&s;t be more faithfully and &s;ucce&s;sfully exerci&s;ed, and that none may have ju&s;t cau&s;e to take them&s;elves injured thereby, and that no more may take occa|&s;ion of &s;eparation and divi&s;ion from us: We who&s;e Names are afterwritten (as in the pre&s;ence of God who &s;earcheth the heart, and will &s;everely judge tho&s;e that are fal&s;e in his Covenant,) do &s;eriou&s;ly, upon deliberation, and in the fear of Almighty God, make this &s;olemn Pro|fe&s;&s;ion of our Belief and Re&s;olution.</P>

<HEAD>THE PROFESSION.</HEAD>
<P><Q>I Believe in God the Father Al|mighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth: And in Ie&s;us Chri&s;t his only Sonne our Lord, which was concei|ved by the holy Gho&s;t; born of the Virgin <HI>Mary,</HI> &s;uf|fered under <HI>Pon|tius Pilate,</HI> was Crucified Dead and Buried, he de&s;cended into Hell; The third day he ro&s;e again from the dead: He a&s;cended into Hea|ven, and &s;itteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence he &s;hall come to judge the quick and the dead.
