THE SAINTS belief, OR, THE NEW CREED.  
I believe in one Almighty GOD, 
a G●n 1. 1. Prov. 16.4.  Creator and maker of all things, 
b 1 Ioh●, 5 7.  distinguished in three, Father, son, and Holy Ghost: 
c Joh. 10.30. i J●h, 5.7.  but not divided. 
d Gen. 12. I●h. 1.1, 2, 3.  all working together in the Creation, 
e Ro. ●. 34 E●h 1 7.  Redemption, 
f ●s 97.10. Phil. 4 7.  preservation, 
g T●● 2. 11 Io. 11.25.  and salvation of Man. The Son our Lord Jesus Christ, 
h Col. ● 9 Mat. 1 23.  GOD 
i 1 Tim. 2.5. Act. 2 23 Ho. 7.24.  and Man; 
k 1 Io. 49. Io. 3.17.  begotten and sent by the Father 
l 1 Io. 49 I●. 3.17. is●y. 7 14. Luk. 2 7.  conceived and borne of the Virgin Mary, 
m Io. 11.48. J●h. 19.12.15, 16.  suffered under the Roman power, 
n Mat. 27.35.  Pilate being judge▪ crucified, 
o Io. 19.23.  dead 
p Lu●. 23.43 46  and his soul immediately received by God his Father; 
q ● 19 41, 42.  and his body buried; 
r 1 Cor. 15.4.  rose again the third day according to the Scriptures; 
s A●●. 1.9, 10, 11, Ioh. 20.17.  & ascended into heaven; 
t H●b. 1.3.  sits at the right hand of God; 
u Act. 3.21  whom the heavens must contain for a time; 
w 1 Jo. 20.12. Io. 1.29.  in whom all our sins are forgiven, 
x ● Th●s. 4.16.17.  and from thence he shall come to ju●ge the living & the dead; 
y Ma●. 25.32.  before whom every one shall appear, 
z M●t. 12.36.  to give an account 
a Gen. 6.5. 1 Cor. ●. 20.  of every evil thought, 
b Mat. 12.39.  idle word 
c Exo. 20 7 ●at 5.34, 35, 36, 37. Jam. 1.26.  vain thought, and 
d Re●. 22.12 Mat. 25.41, 45, 46.  wicked action. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, 
e Joh. 14.26. Jo. 15 26. J●●. 16 13.  sent by the Father and the son to teach and lead 
f Col. 3.12. 1 P●t 1.2. Rom 9.11 9 Mat. 18.17, 18, 19, 20.  his Elect in all truth: 
g Rev. 1.11. G●l 12.  instituting by his Apostles particular Churches here on earth, and no other; 
h 1 Co● 3.21, 22, 23 P●●…. 149.7, 8, 9  every 
i 2 Cor. 12.13.  ordinance of God belonging to every one of them; all of equal authority, no one being greater or lesser than other, either in power or privileges; 
k Io 15.10, 14, Io 5.39  who must serve him as he hath commanded in his holy Scriptures; 
l R●v, 22.18. Deut. 5 32 Mat. 28. 20.  both in Ordinances, 
m Col 2. 5. 1 Cor. 14, 40.1 C●●. 15, 2 Lev. 10. 1, 2 1 Ch●● 13 9.11 1 Chro. 15.13 Numb. 15.16  and Order, 
n 2 Tim. 13, 14. Mat. 9.22, 10. Mar. 16 16 〈◊〉 11.6  in their own Faith; 
o 1 Tim. 1.19. 1 Joh 3.30.  with a pure conscience; 
p He●. 10 25. Mat. 18. 17, 18, 19, 20.  all believers being bound in duty to have and hold communion in some one of them: 
q Acts 6: 2, 3, ● Acts 14: 23: Acts 1: 15, 23, 26. Ex: 33: 2 Numb. 8.10.  and that every Church hath power from GOD to elect and ordain their own Officers, 
r 2 Co● 2 ● 8. 3. John 10.  receive in believers, 
s Mat. 18.17, 18, 19, 20. 1 Cor. 5.12 13. Acts 11.2, 3, 4.  and excommunicate any one of them that lives in transgression without the help or assistance of any; 
t Rom: 2: 1●. Deut: 1 17 Jam. 2 9 Acts 11: 2, 3, 4.  no one member being more free than another 
u R●. 13. 2, 3, 4, 5. Exod. 20: 12. Eph. 6.5. .  
And I believe I am bound in conscience to God to honour and obey my Father, Mother, King, Master, and every Officer under him whether they be Christians, irreligious Idolaters or Heathens. The commandment requites obedience to every one of them of what Religion soev●r they be equal, and alike. 
w 1 Cor. 15. M●●. 25.24.  And I believe the bodies of the just shall rise to life everlasting, 
x isaiah 30.33. Ma●. 25.41, 46.  and the wicked to everlasting perdition, &c.  Prov. 22.6. 
Teach a Child in the trade of his way, & when he is old he shall not depart from it.  1 Thes. 5.21. 
Try all things, keep that which is good.  Acts 17.11. 
These were also more noble men, than they which were of Thessalonica, who received the Word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.  1 Sam. 15.22. 
To obey is better than sacrifice, & to harken then the fat of rams.
