to_o seduce_v i_o to_o sin_n but_o beside_o my_o renounce_v the_o world_n thus_o understand_v i_o be_o also_o to_o forsake_v and_o withstand_v its_o pomp_n and_o vanity_n that_o be_v all_o pleasure_n pride_n and_o wealth_n when_o they_o become_v injurious_a to_o religion_n and_o divert_v or_o stop_v i_o in_o my_o exercise_n of_o piety_n which_o they_o will_v certain_o do_v if_o my_o affection_n towards_o they_o be_v inordinate_a immoderate_a or_o unseasonable_a and_o because_o worldly_a vanity_n only_o gratify_v my_o carnal_a part_n and_o sensitive_a appetite_n i_o be_o also_o bind_v to_o renounce_v that_o which_o they_o gratify_v i_o mean_v the_o flesh_n or_o my_o unmortified_a corruption_n which_o be_v enmity_n against_o god_n and_o do_v not_o only_o hinder_v i_o from_o do_v good_a but_o do_v also_o incline_v and_o spur_v i_o on_o to_o do_v evil._n for_o i_o find_v that_o from_o this_o unmortified_a corruption_n there_o spring_v up_o in_o i_o many_o inordinate_a affection_n and_o evil_a concupiscence_n which_o be_v call_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o mean_n whereof_o until_o they_o be_v mortify_v i_o be_o bring_v to_o entertain_v the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o abuse_v the_o good_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o sin_n and_o though_o the_o renounce_n of_o these_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n together_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n be_v make_v a_o article_n of_o my_o christianity_n and_o a_o condition_n upon_o which_o the_o privilege_n of_o baptism_n be_v bestow_v upon_o i_o yet_o see_v they_o be_v my_o sore_a enemy_n and_o continual_o endeavour_v not_o only_a my_o present_n but_o my_o eternal_a ruin_n without_o any_o other_o tie_n self-preservation_n prompt_v i_o to_o withstand_v they_o the_o second_o thing_n promise_v in_o my_o behalf_n when_o i_o be_v baptize_v be_v my_o belief_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n sum_v up_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n my_o faith_n of_o which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o more_o than_o either_o bare_o historical_a and_o temporary_a i_o shall_v not_o surpass_v the_o very_a devil_n and_o wicked_a hypocritical_a man_n in_o believe_v for_o the_o one_o believe_v always_o historical_o and_o the_o other_o only_o hypocritical_o for_o a_o time_n but_o the_o faith_n i_o vow_v in_o baptism_n be_v a_o firm_a and_o constant_a assent_n unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o gospel_n of_o man_n salvation_n and_o a_o unshaken_a reliance_n upon_o the_o same_o so_o that_o the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v the_o general_n and_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n sum_v up_o in_o the_o creed_n be_v the_o particular_a object_n of_o my_o belief_n and_o i_o look_v upon_o this_o faith_n to_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o i_o and_o every_o christian_a that_o i_o forfeit_v that_o title_n without_o it_o for_o a_o believer_n be_v but_o another_o word_n for_o christian_a but_o still_o i_o know_v that_o how_o necessary_a soever_o faith_n be_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o my_o soul_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v get_v by_o my_o own_o power_n for_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gracious_a work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o do_v enable_v i_o to_o assent_v unto_o and_o rely_v upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o because_o faith_n will_v not_o profit_v to_o my_o justification_n without_o work_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_v of_o christ_n therefore_o my_o surety_n undertake_v that_o i_o shall_v keep_v god_n holy_a will_n and_o commandment_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o same_o all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o life_n so_o that_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v myself_o bind_v to_o pay_v obedience_n to_o the_o whole_a will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o i_o can_v think_v myself_o fit_a to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n unless_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o keep_v god_n law_n and_o have_v regard_n unto_o all_o his_o precept_n and_o that_o too_o with_o my_o whole_a heart_n or_o sincere_o and_o always_o without_o intermission_n or_o discontinuance_n but_o when_o i_o profess_v this_o to_o be_v my_o duty_n it_o be_v not_o as_o if_o i_o think_v i_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n the_o condition_n whereof_o be_v perfect_a obedience_n for_o this_o i_o be_o no_o way_n able_a to_o perform_v but_o because_o i_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o second_o covenant_n call_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o think_v myself_o bind_v to_o perform_v the_o condition_n thereof_o namely_o obedience_n or_o faith_n fruitful_a in_o good_a work_n which_o good_a work_n be_v the_o genuine_a offspring_n of_o my_o faith_n and_o do_v flow_v as_o natural_o from_o it_o as_o fruit_n from_o their_o tree_n and_o without_o which_o my_o faith_n be_v dead_a and_o you_o have_v ever_o teach_v i_o to_o set_v a_o peculiar_a value_n upon_o good_a work_n because_o through_o mean_n thereof_o i_o glorify_v god_n edify_v my_o neighbour_n and_o justify_v and_o declare_v my_o faith_n before_o men._n and_o according_a to_o my_o present_a sentiment_n of_o religion_n i_o look_v upon_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n to_o make_v up_o my_o whole_a duty_n as_o a_o christian_a and_o these_o i_o hold_v be_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v in_o my_o practice_n because_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o work_v without_o faith_n can_v please_v god_n and_o though_o it_o be_v my_o firm_a resolution_n to_o observe_v they_o both_o and_o to_o believe_v and_o do_v as_o my_o surety_n have_v promise_v for_o i_o yet_o i_o know_v i_o can_v do_v so_o but_o by_o the_o assistance_n and_o help_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v by_o diligent_a and_o humble_a prayer_n beg_v a_o continual_a supply_n of_o grace_n to_o enable_v i_o to_o believe_v and_o do_v all_o thing_n which_o at_o baptism_n be_v stipulate_v an●_n promise_v in_o my_o name_n and_o will_v also_o daily_o offer_v up_o my_o unfeigned_a thanks_o unto_o god_n that_o h●●_n have_v call_v i_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o he_o hat●_n bring_v i_o out_o of_o my_o natural_a state_n of_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v admit_v i_o into_o the_o church_n and_o that_o there_o he_o do_v vouchsafe_v i_o the_o appoint_a mean_n of_o holiness_n and_o salvation_n and_o i_o humble_o pray_v god_n by_o his_o prevent_a grace_n to_o incline_v my_o will_n by_o his_o assist_a grace_n to_o give_v i_o strength_n and_o by_o his_o consummate_v grace_n to_o bring_v i_o actual_o to_o perform_v all_o those_o duty_n which_o in_o holy_a baptism_n my_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n under_o ook_n in_o my_o stead_n and_o as_o you_o ever_o mind_a and_o make_v i_o sensible_a how_o great_o i_o be_v bind_v to_o my_o surety_n for_o what_o they_o do_v for_o i_o at_o baptism_n so_o you_o likewise_o have_v let_v i_o know_v the_o obligation_n i_o have_v to_o take_v up_o their_o bond_n as_o soon_o as_o i_o be_v able_a and_o so_o to_o discharge_v they_o and_o this_o i_o do_v at_o confirmation_n when_o i_o solemn_o take_v upon_o myself_o to_o believe_v and_o do_v all_o that_o my_o baptismal_a surety_n have_v vow_v and_o promise_v i_o shall_v believe_v and_o do_v but_o now_o alas_o be_v conscious_a to_o myself_o that_o

that_o heavenly_a entertainment_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o competent_a understanding_n of_o the_o more_o eminent_a part_n of_o christianity_n which_o you_o have_v teach_v i_o and_o they_o be_v these_o four_o namely_o faith_n obedience_n prayer_n and_o the_o sacrament_n and_o to_o you_o who_o be_v to_o admit_v i_o i_o think_v myself_o bind_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o knowledge_n in_o each_o of_o these_o and_o to_o desire_v your_o judgement_n whither_o or_o no_o it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o order_n to_o my_o admission_n i_o begin_v with_o faith_n
