Scripture given forth by Inspiration of God as we believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are is profitable for Doctrine for Reproof for Correction for Instruction in Righteousness that the Man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good Works And knowing also that no Prophesie of the Scriptures is of any private Interpretation 2 Pet. 1.20 21. for Prophesie came not in old time by the Will of Man but Holy Men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost Our Solemn Confession in the Holy Fear of God concerning our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ according to the several Testimonies given forth by our Faithful Brethren WE sincerely believe own and confess no other Lord and Saviour than our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God to whom the Prophets and Apostles give witness and who in the fullness of Time took Flesh of the Seed of Abraham and of the Stock of David We confess to his Miraculous Conception by the Power of the Holy Spirit overshadowing of the Virgin Mary and to his being Born of her according to the Flesh and that he took upon him a Real Body and that he was a Real Man and that in the Days of his Flesh he Preached Righteousness wrought Miracles was Crucified being put to Death by Wicked Hands and that he was Buried and Rose again the Third Day according to the Scriptures and after he Rose he really appeared to many Brethren and afterwards he ascended into Glory according to the Wisdom and Power of the Heavenly Father and is Glorified with the same Glory which he had with the Father before the World began being ascended far above all Heavens that he might fill all things whose Glory is Incomprehensible And we also believe That he is that one Mediator between God and Man viz. that Intire Perfect Heavenly and most Glorious Man Christ Jesus who ever lives and endures in his Soul or Spirit and Glorious Body We further believe That according to his Promise to his Disciples before he left them viz. That he would come unto them again and that he that was with them should be in them and they in Christ and Christ in them John 14.20 and that accordingly he came and that he who appeared in that Body which was prepared for him was full of Grace and Truth and received the Spirit not by measure appeared by a measure of his Grace and Spirit in his Apostles and Disciples and doth since in all his Faithful Followers And that he is their King Prophet and High-priest and Interceeds and Mediates in their behalf bringing in Everlasting Righteousness Peace and Assurance for ever into their Hearts and Consciences to whom be everlasting Honour and Dominion Amen Concerning the Soul's Immortality and the Resurrection WE believe our Souls are Immortal and shall be preserved in their distinct and proper Beings and shall have Spiritual Glorious Bodies such as shall be proper for them as it shall please God to give them in the Resurrection that we may be capable of our particular Rewards and different Degrees of Glory after this Life in the World to come Griffith Owen John Wilsford George Maris John Adams Nicholas Walln William Biles Robert Owen John Lynam John Humphreys Caleb Pusey Alex Beardsley Samuel Richardson Ralph Jackson Richard Gove Richard Ormo William Southby David Lloyd Samuel Jennings Thomas Duckett Thomas Janney Arthur Cooke John Symcock Robert Ewer Samuel Carpenter Phin.

Concerning his Divinity and his Being from the Beginning WE believe That in the Beginning was the Word Jo. 1.1 2 3. and that the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made Whose Goings forth have been from of old from Everlasting Mic. 5.2 Eph. 3.9 For God Created all things by Jesus Christ who is the Image of the Invisible God the First-born of every Creature the Brightness of the Father's Glory Col. 1.15 and the express Image of his Substance Heb. 1.3 II. Concerning his Appearance in the Flesh WE believe That the Word was made Flesh Joh. 2.14 for he took not on him the Nature of Angels but took on him the Seed of Abraham Heb. 2.16 17. being in all things made like unto his Brethren Touched with a feeling of our Infirimities Heb. 4.15 and in all things tempted as we are yet without Sin He died for our Sins according to the Scriptures and he was buried and he rose again the Third day 1 Cor. 15.3 4. according to the Scripture III. Concerning the End and Vse of that Appearance WE believe That God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful Flesh Jo. 8.3 and for Sin condemned Sin in the Flesh For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the Works of the Devil 1 Jo. 3 8.

Concerning the Inward Manifestation of Christ WE believe That God dwelleth with the Contrite and Humble in Spirit Isa 57.17 for he said he will dwell in them and walk in them 2 Cor. 6.16 and that Christ standeth at the Door and knocketh if any Man hear his Voice Rev. 3.20 and open the Door he will come into him and sup with him 2 Cor. 13.5 And therefore ought we to examine our selves and prove our own selves knowing how that Christ is in us unless we be Reprobates for this is the Riches of the Glory of the Mystery which God would make known among or rather in the Gentiles Col. 1.27 Christ within the hope of Glory V. Concerning his being our Mediator and Advocate WE believe There is one God and one Mediator between God and Man even the Man Christ Jesus i Tim. 2.5 6. who gave him self a Ransom for all to be testified in due time My little Children these things write I unto you that ye sin not and if any Man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Christ Jesus the Righteous And he is the Propitiation for our Sins 1 Jo. 2.1 2. and not for ours only but for the Sins of the whole World He sits on the Right Hand of God the Father Heb. 7.25 and ever lives to make Intercession for us VI. Concerning his Vnity with the Saints VVE believe That he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified Heb. 2.11 are all of one for by the exceeding great and precious Promises that are given them they are made pertakers of the Divine Nature 2 Pet. 1.4 because for this end prayed Christ saying That they all may be one as thou Father art in me and I in thee that they also may be one in us and the Glory which thou gavest me I have given them that they may be one even as we are I in them and thou in me Jo. 17.21 22 23. that they may be made perfect in one VII Concerning his Coming to Judgment WE believe That we must all appear before the Judgment-seat of Christ 2 Cor. 5 10 11. that every one may receive the things done in his Body according to that he hath done whether it be good or bad Knowing therefore the Terror of the Lord we perswade Men. VIII Concerning the Resurrection WE Believe There shall be a Resurrection of the Dead both of the Just and Unjust they that have done good to the Resurrection of Life and they that have done evil to the Resurrection of Damnation 1 Cor. 15.37 38 44 50. Flesh and Blood cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God neither doth Corruption Inherit Incorruption Nor is that Body sown that shall be but God giveth it a Body as it hath pleased him and to every Seed his own Body It is sown in Dishonour it is raised in Glory it is sown in Corruption it is rais'd in Incorruption it is sown in Weakness it is raised in Power it is sown a Natural Body it is raised a Spiritual Body IX Concerning the Scriptures VVE Believe Rom. 15.4 That whatsoever things were written for our Learning that we through Patience and Comfort of the Scriptures might have hope Which are able to make wise unto Salvation through Faith which is in Christ Jesus 2 Tim. 3.15 16 17.
