The Profession of the Church of in cheerful conjunction with many other neighbour Churches, who in order to further Reformation and exercise of CHRIST'S Discipline, have all agreed in the same Profession.  

THE PREFACE.  
SEeing the sincere making and keeping our Covenant with God in Christ is a chief part of the Christian Religion, and a matter of Absolute Necessity to our Salvation; and the proneness of our sinful hearts to unfaithfulness and Backsliding, doth require us often to Renew our Resolutions and Covenants; and the Word of God, and example of the Churches, do encourage us hereto; especially at the Restoring or Reforming of a Church which hath fallen into Confusion, Ignorance, Error or Profaneness, which is too much the Case of us and too many Congregations in England; And because Ministers cannot well know who are members of the Churches, and who not, and so must be Ignorant of the extent of their Charges and Duties, without an expression of their People's Consent; and for want of this Ministers are at such Uncertainties, and Churches in such disorder, and the Duties of Pastors and People so Defectively performed; whereby many being offended have been occasioned to separate, supposing our Churches to have been no true Churches, nor our Ministers true Ministers, for want of a more express Consent and Combination. And seeing the Pastors cannot with any probability of success, or without great offence to the People, perform those Acts of Teaching and Ruling which Christ hath made the Work of their Office, without the People's express Consent (though the sign itself be not particularly determined.) To the end therefore that we may be the faster tied to Christ and one another, and may more Faithfully discharge our mutual Duties; and this Church may be more Reform, and the Discipline of Christ be more faithfully and successfully exercised, and that none may have just cause to take themselves injured thereby, and that no more may take occasion of separation and division from us: We whose Names are afterwritten (as in the presence of God who searcheth the heart, and will severely judge those that are false in his Covenant,) do seriously, upon deliberation, and in the fear of Almighty God, make this solemn Profession of our Belief and Resolution.   

THE PROFESSION.  
I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth: And in jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, which was conceived by the holy Ghost; born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was Crucified Dead and Buried, he descended into Hell; The third day he risen again from the dead: He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and the Life Eversting, Amen. I Believe that there is one only God

All power is Given to me in Heaven and in Earth: Go ye therefore and Disciple all Nations, Baptising them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world.

Obey them that have the Rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account; that they may do it with joy and not with grief; for that is unprofitable for you. And let us consider one another, to provoke unto Love and to Good Works: Not forsaking the Assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another. That ye may with One mind and One mouth glorify God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  ACTS 20.28, 29, 30, 31. 
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to All the flock over the which the holy Ghost hath made you Overseers; to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things to draw away Disciples after them. Therefore watch.  ISA. 44.3, 4, 5. 
For I will pour water on him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my Blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. One shall say [I am the Lords,] and another shall call himself by the Name of Jacob: and another shall Subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
