more_o full_o it_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o mutual_a relation_n and_o stir_v we_o up_o the_o more_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o our_o respective_a duty_n to_o each_o other_o therefore_o we_o have_v hereunto_o annex_v a_o profession_n of_o assent_n to_o the_o fundamental_o of_o faith_n by_o way_n of_o explication_n of_o the_o creed_n call_v the_o apostle_n which_o we_o all_o own_o and_o will_v maintain_v likewise_o a_o profession_n of_o consent_n to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o also_o we_o all_o free_o agree_v unto_o and_o both_o these_o we_o conceive_v may_v not_o unfit_o be_v use_v if_o not_o in_o the_o express_a word_n yet_o at_o least_o as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o either_o at_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o

baptism_n 1._o we_o agree_v that_o not_o only_o those_o who_o do_v actual_o profess_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o obedience_n to_o he_o but_o also_o the_o infant_n of_o one_o or_o both_o believe_a

the_o ground_n of_o religion_n or_o scandalous_a in_o conversation_n offer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v baptise_a that_o the_o ordinance_n may_v be_v forbear_v till_o that_o ignorant_a parent_n get_v competent_a knowledge_n or_o the_o scandalous_a do_v testify_v serious_a repentance_n therefore_o for_o preserve_a unity_n among_o we_o we_o agree_v that_o none_o of_o we_o of_o different_a judgement_n from_o such_o minister_n will_v over-hasty_o baptise_v the_o child_n of_o such_o a_o parent_n till_o first_o we_o understand_v the_o case_n from_o any_o such_o minister_n that_o so_o defer_v baptise_v and_o if_o then_o we_o think_v fit_a to_o baptise_v yet_o first_o we_o will_v render_v our_o reason_n to_o they_o for_o so_o do_v which_o also_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v unwilling_a to_o submit_v to_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o association_n 3._o we_o also_o agree_v to_o administer_v baptism_n public_o and_o in_o the_o most_o solemn_a manner_n and_o therefore_o to_o perform_v

the_o ordinance_n and_o likewise_o so_o far_o as_o may_v be_v to_o avoid_v private_a baptism_n the_o lord_n supper_n 1._o we_o agree_v according_a to_o scripture_n warrant_v the_o general_a judgement_n and_o practice_n both_o of_o the_o ancient_a succeed_a and_o present_a church_n of_o christ_n with_o which_o the_o rubric_n before_o the_o communion_n in_o divers_a passage_n of_o it_o and_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n the_o large_a catechism_n and_o form_n of_o church-government_n make_v by_o the_o assembly_n concur_v that_o the_o church-guide_n shall_v still_o put_v a_o difference_n in_o their_o admission_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n between_o the_o evident_o worthy_a and_o unworthy_a encourage_v and_o further_a the_o one_o to_o and_o in_o a_o frequent_a partake_n thereof_o but_o warning_n and_o not_o suffer_v the_o other_o to_o profane_v the_o ordinance_n endanger_v their_o own_o soul_n and_o give_v scandal_n to_o other_o christian_n and_o see_v church-ruler_n be_v apt_a to_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n either_o from_o too_o great_a severity_n rigid_o exclude_v the_o competent_o fit_a or_o by_o inadvertency_n over-facility_n or_o fear_v promiscuous_o admit_v such_o who_o on_o prudent_a and_o moderate_a trial_n will_v appear_v unworthy_a therefore_o we_o resolve_v as_o to_o encourage_v good_a christian_n to_o a_o often_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o not_o to_o admit_v such_o to_o it_o who_o appear_v unfit_a namely_o 1._o those_o that_o have_v not_o a_o competent_a knowledge_n in_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n 2._o that_o be_v not_o of_o a_o unblameable_a conversation_n and_o if_o some_o of_o we_o require_v more_o positive_a sign_n of_o grace_n in_o person_n that_o come_v to_o the_o ordinance_n it_o shall_v be_v no_o breach_n of_o union_n among_o ourselves_o competent_a knowledge_n because_o a_o total_a or_o gross_a ignorance_n in_o the_o principle_n of_o christianity_n can_v consist_v with_o save_v faith_n sound_a repentance_n come_v up_o to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n of_o which_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o seal_n neither_o with_o that_o discern_a the_o lord_n body_n and_o such_o self-examination_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o worthy_a partake_n but_o that_o person_n thus_o ignorant_a must_v needs_o miss_v of_o benefit_n by_o this_o ordinance_n and_o meet_v with_o a_o curse_n instead_o of_o a_o blessing_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o admit_v any_o that_o on_o trial_n be_v find_v such_o till_o competent_a knowledge_n be_v attain_v that_o we_o may_v therefore_o proceed_v more_o clear_o and_o with_o less_o inconveniency_n to_o any_o we_o will_v not_o give_v the_o rule_n ourselves_o for_o this_o trial_n but_o express_v our_o concurrent_a sense_n and_o approbation_n of_o that_o direction_n
