lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o to_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o free_v we_o from_o vengeance_n 21._o 10._o 16._o and_o offer_v we_o a_o full_a pardon_n on_o condition_n that_o we_o will_v

in_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n if_o we_o find_v that_o we_o have_v not_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n in_o this_o covenant_n we_o must_v not_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n till_o we_o have_v

and_o conviction_n of_o god_n be_v our_o maker_n our_o governor_n and_o our_o benefactor_n shall_v be_v the_o reason_n and_o ground_n of_o our_o resolution_n to_o be_v whole_o he_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o he_o and_o love_n and_o honour_v he_o above_o all_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v a_o full_a and_o complete_a resolution_n that_o we_o use_v no_o if_n or_o and_o be_v or_o rest_n in_o some_o faint_a purposing_n but_o we_o must_v be_v thorough_o determine_v and_o fix_v upon_o it_o that_o whatever_o we_o may_v lose_v or_o suffer_v by_o it_o in_o this_o world_n we_o will_v by_o god_n help_n go_v through_o with_o it_o without_o any_o exception_n or_o limitation_n whatsoever_o do_v the_o whole_a will_n of_o god_n from_o the_o heart_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v a_o humble_a and_o pious_a resolution_n without_o any_o proud_a trust_n or_o confidence_n in_o our_o own_o natural_a strength_n to_o make_v it_o good_a but_o yet_o with_o all_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o if_o we_o conscientious_o use_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o strength_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v as_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o we_o to_o will_v so_o he_o will_v strengthen_v we_o to_o do_v his_o good_a will_n and_o final_o reward_v we_o according_a to_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n when_o we_o have_v thus_o consider_v our_o covenant_n of_o baptism_n and_o be_v thus_o resolve_v by_o god_n help_n to_o keep_v it_o we_o shall_v earnest_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o his_o assistance_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o already_o confirm_v it_o be_v fit_a that_o we_o humble_o offer_v ourselves_o to_o confirmation_n so_o soon_o as_o we_o can_v the_o very_a sense_n of_o shame_n to_o break_v a_o covenant_n after_o this_o solemn_a engagement_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o church_n to_o keep_v it_o and_o the_o fear_n of_o draw_v a_o great_a guilt_n upon_o our_o soul_n by_o break_v a_o covenant_n so_o renew_v must_v needs_o be_v some_o restraint_n upon_o we_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o break_v it_o and_o beside_o this_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o hope_n that_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n minister_n the_o bishop_n who_o by_o his_o
