HISTORICAL MEMORANDA. 
 
 Wethersfield, Windsor and Hartford, the three oldest towns in 
 Connecticut, were founded by colonists from Watertown, Dorchester 
 and Newtown, Massachusetts, in the order mentioned, and originally 
 under the same names. Such a migration, from the eastern coast to 
 the interior, was first suggested by an Indian Sachem, Wahquimacut 
 or Wahquinnacut, to the Governors of the Massachusetts and Plym- 
 outh colonies in 1C31. The Governor of Massachusetts received him 
 courteously, but declined to entertain his proposition. Governor 
 Winslow of Plymouth, Avithout directly acceding to it, could not 
 aa* holly dismiss it from his mind ; but AA-ent himself to spy out the 
 riches of this Indian Paradise. His favorable report led to the erec- 
 tion of a trading house, near the mouth of Tunxis river at Windsor, 
 under the sanction of the Plymouth colony, as early as October, 1633 ; 
 and a similar one had been erected, by the Dutch from Manhattan, 
 at Hartford, a short time before ; but neither of these establishments 
 seems to have been intended as the nucleus of a settlement. In Sep- 
 tember of the same year, Rev. Thomas Hooker, Avho had been driven 
 into exile from England, for non-conformity, in 1630, accompanied by 
 Samuel Stone, his assistant, followed and rejoined his old parishioners 
 at XewtoAvn, Mass., AA-ho, soon after his excision from his ministry, 
 had fled to America under a mutual pledge of reunion. The croAA'ded 
 state of the settlement, Avhere they met, led them to cast about for 
 room ; and the Connecticut A-alley, being at that moment the favorite 
 Eldorado, they, with others, petitioned the General Court of Massa- 
 
chusetts for leave to transfer themselves thither. This petition, made 
 in 1634, was at first rejected; hut a number of the inhabitants of 
 Watertown, during the autumn of the same year, disregarding the 
 decision of the General Court, set out for the interdicted country, and 
 arriving in season to construct temporary houses in which to pass 
 the winter, made, it is believed, at Pyquag, now Wethersfield, the 
 first settlement on the Connecticut River. In May following, (1635,) 
 the old application of Hooker and his friends was renewed, and leave 
 to remove reluctantly granted. During the summer of the same 
 year, several of the people belonging to the congregation of the Rev. 
 Mr. Wareham of Dorchester, removed to a point on the river a few 
 miles above ; and prepared to lay the foundation of the town of 
 Windsor. The whole of that season, the Watertown settlers, in par- 
 ties of a few families each, continued to make additions to the little 
 company of pioneers at Wethersfield. 
 
 In the middle of October, Hooker and his friends, constituting a 
 band of sixty persons, made up of families of every age, from infancy 
 to second childhood, set out on their tedious march across the country, 
 like the Israelites of old, with "their flocks and herds," for the 
 " promised land." After a long and wearisome journey, they arrived 
 at the river just in time to escape the rigors of winter ; and most ot 
 them settled at Hartford, though some, having joined the caravan not 
 originally parties to it, distributed themselves among the previous col- 
 onists at Wethersfield and Windsor. Of the members of the church 
 in Watertown, Mass., who came to Wethersfield, only six were dis- 
 missed ; to which number only one was added in the next six years. 
 During this interval they received the ministerial labors of Rev. 
 Richard Denton, Rev. John Sherman, and Rev. Peter Prudden. 
 
 Rev. Richard Denton had been a preacher in Halifax, Eng., before 
 coming to this country. He came to Watertown in 1634, and to 
 
Wethersfield in 1635; where he remained until 1641, when he re. 
 moved to Stamford, carrying- a considerable number of families with 
 him. Cotton Mather in his Magnalia, thus speaks of Mr. Denton : — 
 " First at Wethersfield, and then at Stamford, his doctrines dropped 
 as the rain, his speech distilled as the dew, as the small rain upon the 
 tender herb, as the showers upon the grass. Though he was a little 
 man, yet he had a great soul ; his well accomplished mind, in his 
 lesser body, wa? an Iliad in a nut-shell. I think he was blind of an 
 eye ; nevertheless he was not the least among the seers of our Israel ; 
 he saw a very considerable portion of those things which ' Eye hath 
 not seen.' He was far from cloudy in his conceptions and principles 
 of divinity ; whereof he wrote a system, entitled ' Solilocpuia Sacra," 
 so accurately considering the fourfold state of man, 1st, in his Created 
 Purity, 2d, Contracted Deformity, 3d, Restored Beauty, and 4th, Ce- 
 lestial Glory, that judicious persons who have seen it, very much la- 
 ment the churches being so much deprived of it. At length he got 
 beyond clouds, and so beyond storms ; waiting the return of the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, in the clouds of heaven, when he will have his reward 
 among the saints." He returned to England in 1658, where he died. 
 
 Rev. John Sherman was born in Dedham, England, December 26, 
 1613, and educated at Cambridge University. He came to this coun- 
 try in 1634, and, after being an assistant to Mr. Philips of Watertown, 
 came to Wethersfield in 1635; and went to Milford in 1640, where 
 he was chosen teaching Elder, in connection with Mr. Prudden, 
 which office he declined. He preached only occasionally in Connec- 
 ticut. On the death of Mr. Philips, Mr. Sherman returned to Water- 
 town in 1644. He died Aug. 8th, 1635, aged seventy-one. 
 
 Rev. Peter rrudden, bom at Edgton, Yorkshire, in 1601, educated 
 for the ministry, and ordained in England, preached awhile in York- 
 shire and Hertfordshire, before coming to this country July 26, 1637.

 "While looking about for a home, he resided for a time at Wethersfield, 
 and preached there. Upon his leaving Wethersfield, a considerable 
 number of families accompanied him to Milford, and were among the 
 principal settlers ol that town. He was installed pastor of the church 
 in Milford, April 18th, 1640, and died there, July, 1656. Cotton 
 Mather describes him as " an example of piety, gravity, and boiling- 
 zeal against the growing evils of the times, yet possessed of a singu- 
 lar faculty to sweeten, compose, and qualify exasperated spirits, and 
 to stop or heal all contentions. His death was felt by the colony, as 
 the fall of a pillar which made the whole fabric shake." 
 
 After the removal of Messrs. Denton, Sherman and Prudden, the 
 Rev. Henry Smith seems to have been the only remaining minister. 
 He is said to have been a companion of the earliest settlers, and to 
 have officiated as their preacher, but for reasons not given, to have 
 temporarily withdiawn. On the 28th of February, 1641, the church 
 in Wethersfield seems to have been, for the first time, regularly or- 
 ganized, and a ruling Elder, Clement Chaplin, appointed. There are 
 no church records of that period extant, but the c ircumstance is found 
 on the records of the town. The number of members, which it em- 
 bodied, is unknown. Among them were Joseph Sherman, Joseph 
 Strickland, Robert Reynolds and James Weed, who had been regu- 
 larly dismissed from the church at Watertown. 
 
 Soon after his installation, some restless spirits began to visit him 
 with persecution ; and the controversy became at last so violent, 
 that recourse was had to the General Court for adjustment. Their 
 Committee reported, that " the best way for recovering and preserv- 
 ing the public peace, is, that Mr. Smith lay down his place, if it may 
 be done according to God." This opinion was approved by the Gen- 
 eral Court, and a copy given to Mr. Smith, for his answer ; with th3 
 request that, " if it was not satisfactory to him, he would point out 
 some other course." A final hearing, Nov. 10th, 1643, resulted in 
 
Mr. Smith's triumphant acquittal of the charges brought against him, 
 and the imposition of heavy penalties on his false accusers. Among 
 whom, it is painful to remark, that his ruling Elder, Mr. Chaplin, 
 seems to have been most conspicuous. After this his ministry seems 
 to have been without serious interruption, but it is thought that his 
 trials preyed upon his health, and brought him prematurely to the 
 grave in 1648, " grieved and wearied with the burdens of his charge.'' 
 
 After the death of Mr. Smith, the Eev. John Russell, Jim., became 
 his successor, about 1650. He was born in England, but graduated 
 at Harvard in 1645. Having completed his course of college studies, 
 he prepared for the ministry, and was invited to settle at Wethers- 
 field. Here he was ordained, and soon obtained a considerable 
 standing, among the clergy of the colony, receiving an important ap- 
 pointment from the General Court, for the adjustment of grave points 
 of doctrine then agitated by the church. The early part of his minis- 
 try seems to have been quiet, but the Hartford Controversy, as it 
 was called, beginning to rage at this time, Mr.R. and part of his church 
 became involved in it. " "What the precise nature of the controversy 
 was," Cotton Mather says, " it was difficult even at the time to tell." 
 It was supposed, however, to relate to the reciprocal rights of clergy 
 and laity; and so irreconcilable did the feud at last become, that Mr. 
 Russell, with a large majority of his church, resolved to leave the col- 
 ony. They removed to Hadley, Massachusetts, in the year 1659, and 
 laid the foundation of that town and church. 
 
 After the removal of Mr. Russell, the Rev. John Cotton, Jr., was 
 employed atW r ethersfield, and remained there till 1663. He was born 
 at Boston, March 13th, 1640, graduated at Harvard, 1657, and died in 
 the ministry at Charleston, S. C, 18th of Sept., 1699, at the age of 60- 
 
 Rev. Joseph Haynes, son of Gov. Haynes of Hartford, supplied the 
 pulpit during 1663 and 166 1 ; at the close of which period, he received 
 
8 
 
 a call from the First Congregational Church at Hartford, which he ac- 
 cepted ; and at which place he died, at the age of 38, May 14th, 1679. 
 
 Rev. Thomas Buckingham succeeded him, as temporary supply for 
 a short time ; was subsequently settled at Saybrook, and died April 1 , 
 1709, aged 62. 
 
 Rev. Jonathan Willoughby, or Willaubce, preached for the church 
 at Wethers field, from Sept., 1664, to the spring of 1666. 
 
 Rev. Samuel Stone, son of the Rev. Samuel Stone of Hartford 
 preached at Wethersfield after the removal of Mr. "Willoughby ; and 
 also, while Mr. Buikley, who succeeded, was absent as surgeon in the 
 Indian wars. His death, 8th of October, 1693, was caused by a fall, at 
 night, down the precipitous bank of the Little river, at Hartford. 
 
 Rev. Gershom Buikley was the next regular incumbent of the pulpit. 
 He was the son of Rev. Peter Buikley of Concord, Mass. ; born, Dec. 
 26, 1635, graduated at Harvard, 1659, settled in New London, 1661, 
 installed at Wethersfield, 1666, dismissed, 1677, died at Glastenbury, 
 Dec. 2, 1713. His mother died, as was supposed, on her passage to 
 this country, 1635 ; but, at the urgent request of the husband, her body 
 was kept three days beyond the time appointed for committing it to the 
 deep, when signs of vitality appeared, and she recovered. Her son 
 Gershom was born soon after her arrival. After leaving college, he 
 studied divinity and medicine, and settled at New London. Some dif- 
 ference of opinion having arisen, between him and his people, in regard 
 cither to doctrine or discipline, he resigned his place. After being in- 
 stalled at Wethersfield, he was appointed, by the General Court in 1675, 
 surgeon to the army that had been raised against the Indians ; and Mr. 
 Stone was directed to supply the place of Mr. B. in his absence. After 
 his return from King Philip's war, he asked a dismission from the 
 church in Wethersfield, on account of the state of his health, remov- 
 ed to the east side of the river, and commenced practice as a physician, 
 which he continued over thirty years. He married Sarah, only daugh- 
 
tcr of Pres. Chauncey. His ashes rest in the Wethersfield church-yard, 
 
 under a table bearing the following inscription : — " He was honorable 
 in his descent ; of rare abilities, extraordinary industry, excellent learn- 
 ing, master of many languages, exquisite in his skill, in divinity, phys- 
 ic, and law, and of a most exemplary and Christian life. In certain 
 spem beatae resurrectionis repositus."* 
 
 Rev. Joseph Rowlandson succeeded Mr. Bulkley. He was bom in 
 England, graduated at Harvard, 1652, being the whole of the graduat- 
 ing class ; was settled at Lancaster, Mass., in 1656, where he remained 
 till the burning of that town by the Indians, in 1676. He was installed 
 at Wethersfield in 1677, and died Nov. 24, 167S. 
 
 Rev. John Woodbridge succeeded Mr. Rowlandson in 1679. He 
 was the son of an English clergyman, of the same name, and born at 
 Newbury, in 1651 ; and graduated at Harvard, 1664. He was first set- 
 tled at Killingworth, Conn., whence he removed to Wethersfield, and 
 was installed pastor of the church in 1679, and resigned his ministry 
 with his life, in 1691. " Whiting of Hartford, Woodbridge of Weth- 
 ersfield, Wakeman of Fairfield," says Cotton Mather in his Magnalia, 
 " will never be forgotten, till Connecticut Colony do forget itself, and 
 all religion." 
 
 Rev. William Partridge, son of Col. Samuel Partridge of Hatfield, 
 born Xov. 16, 1669, and graduated at Harvard, in 1689, was employed, 
 as an assistant to Mr. Woodbridge during the few last years of his 
 ministry, when, his declining health rendered him unequal to the dis- 
 charge of its duties. After Mr. Woodbridge's death, he continued to 
 occupy the pulpit until Eeb., 1693, Avhen he declined a call from the 
 church to become their pastor, and died at Wallingford, the subsequent 
 September, at the age of 24. 
 
 Rev. Stephen Mix succeeded Mr. Woodbridge in the pastorate, in 
 
 The latin omitted in present inscription which hasheen recut. 
 
10 
 
 i 694, and his account of a long ministry of forty-four years, was sealed 
 up, August 28, 1 738. The earliest known records of the church are from 
 his hand ; but, so impaired by time, as to be irrecoverable as a whole. 
 Such names, as can be clearly deciphered, are given in the catalogue 
 annexed. His ashes rest beneath a monumental tablet, in the ancient 
 burial ground, which bears the following inscription : — 
 
 Here lies Interred the Body 
 of the Rev. Mr. Stephen Mix, 
 late Pastor of the first church 
 in Wethersfield ; an able Min- 
 ister, born in New Haven, and 
 Educated at Cambridge College ; 
 who, having served his gene- 
 ration, by the will of God, 
 fell asleep, August 28th, 
 1738, In the 66th year 
 of his age, and 44th of 
 his Ministry. 
 
 "Rev. James Lockwood, son of James Lockwood of Norwalk, Conn., 
 was ordained his successor, Feb. 28th, 1739, just prior to the memora- 
 ble revival of 1740, which highly blessed New England. During the 
 ministry of Mr. Lockwood, the celebrated Whitefield made his first and 
 second visits. The people of Wethersfield were favored with his in- 
 structions, and felt their power. This was probably the first revival, 
 with which this ancient church was visited. Mr. Lockwood closed his 
 labors and entered into rest, in 1772, aged 59, having served his Divine 
 .Mister thirty-three years in the ministry. His monument, near that of 
 his predecessor, bears the following epitaph : — 
 
 To the memory 
 
 of the Rev. James Lockwood, 
 
 Late pastor of the first church of Christ 
 
 in Wethersfield ; 
 
 Who, in the 34th Year of his Ministry 
 
 and 58th of his Age, 
 
 on the 20th of July, 1772, 
 
 Entered into the Joy of his Lord. 
 
 As a Tutor, and afterwards one of ye Corporation 
 
 of Yale College, 
 
11 
 
 highly venerated and esteemed ; 
 
 As a Minister of the Gospel, one whose praise 
 
 is in the churches : 
 
 Solicited to preside over two of the principal 
 
 Academies in America, 
 
 The Colleges at New Haven and Princeton, 
 
 His Affection for the people of his charge 
 
 did not permit 
 
 His acceptance of either of these honorable stations ; 
 
 But having respect to the Recompense of Reward, 
 
 finished the pious course he early began 
 
 in the Gospel Ministry, 
 
 And here resteth from his Labours 
 
 Through Life exerted ; 
 
 " The Bold to curb, and the Licentious awe 
 
 And Tifrn the Tide of Souls another way." 
 
 Rev. John Marsh, D. D., who succeeded Mr. Lockwood in the pas- 
 torate, was born at Haverhill, Massachusetts, on the 13th of Nov., 
 1742. His parents, descended from early settlers of New England, 
 were eminent for their piety ; and his mother, a superior woman, in- 
 spired him from his childhood with the deepest reverence for divine 
 things. He entered Harvard University at the age of fifteen, subse- 
 quently became one of its Tutors, and received from it the degree of 
 Doctor of Divinity. On the 12th of January. 1774, he was ordained 
 pastor of the church at Wethersfield, and continued in this relation un- 
 til his death, 13th of Sept., 1821, in the 79th year of his life, and 48th 
 of his ministry. Punctilious in the discharge of his official duties, he 
 made the Sabbath honorable, its ordinances precious, and the sanctuary 
 solemn as " the gate of Heaven." His spiritual graces were always 
 peculiarly enlivened at the table of the Lord, and he habitually went 
 from it with a heart full of gratitude and love, and a face beaming with 
 holy joy. At the dying bed, he administered " the oil of consolation" 
 witli the utmost tenderness, in the language and the spirit of the gos- 
 pel ; and at the grave, he dwelt with animating faith upon the prom- 
 ises that irradiate its gloom. A profound judge of human nature, he 
 
12 
 
 controlled the conflicting 1 waves of public opinion with unerring skill ; 
 and acquired, by his frequent reconciliation of village feuds, the noble 
 title of Peacemaker. Genial in temperament and courteous in man- 
 ner, he was cordially " given to hospitality ;" and propitiated an affec- 
 tionate and reverential regard, alike from strangers and the people of 
 his charge. The records of his ministry, kept with clerkly care, at- 
 test his official fidelity, and the blessing of God upon his labors. He 
 died, as he had long lived, in the active service of his Master; and 
 was followed to his rest by parents and children of many generations, 
 who had learned from his lips to love and honor God, and confess 
 Him before men. The labors of the last five years of his ministry 
 were cheered and lessened by the co-operation of the Rev. Dr. Ten- 
 ney as his colleague ; with whom he " took sweet counsel," and 
 with whom he rejoiced, at his departure, over the fruits of their joint 
 services for Christ. He reposes beneath a marble tablet, containing 
 the following brief inscription : 
 
 In Memory of the 
 
 Rev. John Marsh, S. T. D. 
 
 A native of Haverhill, Mass., Graduate and 
 
 Tutor of Harvard College, Pastor of the 
 
 First Church of Christ in Wethersfield, 
 
 and Fellow of Yale College. 
 
 A Gentleman of great urbanity, distinguished 
 
 scholarship, fervent piety, and an eminent 
 
 Minister of the Gospel of Christ. 
 
 Ordained Jan. 12, A. D. 1774. 
 
 Died Sep. 13th, 1821, M 79. 
 
 Caleb Jewett Tenney, D. D., the next incumbent of the pas- 
 torate, was born at Hollis, N. H., May 3d, 1780. At the age of six- 
 teen he became a convert to the truth, under the immediate influence 
 of Davies' sermons, suggested to his perusal by his pious mother in 
 the progress of a faithful training, " in the nurture and admonition of 
 the Lord." He was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1801, re- 
 
13 
 
 ceiving the first honor in a class distinguished by the membership of 
 the Eev. Dr. Merrill and the Hon. Daniel Webster. In 1804 he was 
 ordained at Newport, R. I. as successor of the Eev. Samuel Hop- 
 kins, D. D., who had died the previous year. About 1815 he was 
 compelled, by the failure of his health, to resign this pastorate ; but 
 in 1816 he was so far restored as to be able to accept the call of the 
 church at Wethersfield. Here, first installed as colleague, he be- 
 came sole pastor at the death of Dr. Marsh in 1821 . In 1833 a bron- 
 chial affection disabled him from discharging the duties of the pulpit, 
 but so much had he endeared himself to his people, that they would 
 not consent to sever the pastoral relation subsisting between them, 
 until he felt himself impelled, by a regard to their interests, to ask for 
 a dismission, 12th Jan.. 1841. Previous to this date, the same sym- 
 pathy with him that, in the case of his predecessor, had led to his 
 own appointment as colleague, had twice relieved him by the instal- 
 lation of two persons in succession to the same office in relation to 
 himself, and he had become unwilling any longer to impose a double 
 ministry upon this people. He became subsequently a very efficient 
 agent of the American Colonization Society, in whose service he died 
 at Northampton, 28th September, 1847, in the 68th year of his age. 
 Dr. Tenney was a thorough, bible christian, and his sermons were, 
 to his spiritual hearers, like refreshing showers of heavenly manna. 
 In the deep sense of his solemn responsibility, as a watchman for 
 souls, he never stooped to the frivolous embellishments of style so 
 popular with feeble minds ; but uttered himself habitually with the 
 severe simplicity of the Gospel; yet no dispassionate hearer ever 
 listened to his earnest, affectionate, lucid and comprehensive expo- 
 sitions of divine truth, without a profound conviction of his sincerity 
 and heaven taught wisdom. The tones of his voice were full of ten- 
 derness, and although to impulsive natures his elocution might ap- 
 
14 
 
 appear too unimpassioned to rouse sinners from the lethargy of guilt, 
 yet the power of " the still, small voice " ever dwelt upon his lips, and 
 convictions were perpetually stealing to the hearts of those who 
 heard him. His ministry was eminently successful, and a " cloud of 
 witnesses " will attest his faithfulness at the bar of God. " He was a 
 good man, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith, and much people was 
 added to the Lord." His ashes sleep by those of Brainerd, in the 
 soil consecrated by the longest ministry of Edwards. 
 
 Rev. Charles J. Warren was installed as colleague to Dr Ten- 
 ney July 1st, 1835; dismissed Feb. 1st, 1837. 
 
 Eev Robert Southgate, a native of Portland, Maine, succeed- 
 ed him in the same office February 7th, 1838, and became sole pastor 
 at Dr. Tenney's resignation, January 12th, 1841. Circumstances, 
 however, induced him to ask a dismission Nov. 22, 1843. 
 
 Rev. Mark Tucker, D. D., a native of Whitestown, N. Y., suc- 
 ceeded him as pastor Oct. 15, 1845, and continued to discharge the 
 duties of the office until arrested by disease in 1855. During the 
 disabilities incident to this attack, he concluded to ask for a dis- 
 mission, and the pastoral relation was dissolved March 24th, 1856. 
 
 Rev. Willis S. Colton, the present pastor, was ordained Sept. 
 17th, 1856.

 FORM OF ADMISSION. 
 
 [The public reception of members into the communion of the church takes 
 place just before the celebration <>f the Lord's Supper, and immediately after the 
 Bermon preceding that ordinance. The candidates, as their names arc called, 
 present themselves in front of the pulpit, and are addressed by the Pastor as 
 follows,] 
 
 You, who present yourself in this public manner, are now with all 
 
 your heart and with all your soul, to enter into solemn covenant with 
 God and this church: 
 
 Admiring the infinite condescension and grace of God in opening a 
 door of life and salvation for perishing sinners, through the mediation 
 and death of Jesus Christ, together with a sense of your own great un- 
 worthiness ; you do now make choice of the living God for your God ; 
 of God, the Father, for your Father; of the Lord Jesus Christ, his 
 only begotten Son, for your Lord and Saviour; of the Holy Ghost 
 for your Sanctifier and Comforter, and of the word of God for the rule 
 of your life and practice. 
 
 And you do dedicate and give up yourself to God, to be only his; to 
 be guided by his spirit; to be ruled by his laics ; to be disposed of by 
 his providence, and to be eternally saved in the gospel way; promising 
 by the help of Christ, (without which you can do nothing.) that you

 You believe mankind were originally created in a state of holiness,*

 posed to the wrath and curse of God, both in this life and that which 
 is to come.}

 You believe that God, who is rich in mercy, has not left all mankind 
 to perish in that estate of sin and misery ; but from before the found- 
 ation of the world, has chosen some to everlasting life,* and ordained 
 to bring them into a state of grace and salvation by a Redeemer.t

 You believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, who is both God and man 
 in two distinct natures, and one person, is the only Redeemer ;* that 
 he hath offered up himself a sacrifice to God : and by his obedience 
 and sufferings and death has made ample atonement for sin in our 
 stead ;t that he is now exalted at God's right hand to be a Prince and 
 a Saviour, to grant repentance and remission of sins, to all who go 
 unto God through him.}

 and sovereign grace of God in Christ Jesus.§

 You believe at the last day the Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, 
 with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump 
 of God, and will summon the whole human race to appear before him, 
 to give an account of their conduct ; and will then doom the wicked

 * Psalm 50 : lii; .Matt, n; : 19 and 18 .17; l Cor. 1:2; 2 Or. l .- l and :

 You believe that the sacraments of the Now Testament are Bap- 
 tism* and the Lord's Supper ;t that believers in regular standing only, 
 can consistently partake of the Lord's Supper; and that visible be- 
 lievers and their households only, can consistently be admitted to the 
 ordinance of Baptism.}

 Thus you profess to believe. 
 
 [If any are to be received on certificate from other churches, their names are 
 here announced, who rise in their xeveral places as a convenient and pleasant 
 introduction to their new associates.] 
 
 You likewise covenant with this Church, that you will walk in its 
 order and submit to its discipline, seek its peace and welfare, and treat 
 its members with that tenderness and fidelity which become the disci- 
 ples of Christ and brethren of the same household. 
 
 This you severally promise and engage. 
 
 [The ordinance of Baptism, if not previously received, is here administered, tie 
 candidates successively kueeling at the font ; when the Pastor proceeds ai 
 follows :] 
 
 In consequence of these your professions and engagements, we, 
 the members of this Church, {here the Church risc,~\ affectionately re- 
 ceive you into our communion, and in the name of Christ declare you 
 entitled to all the privileges of this Church. We welcome you to a 
 fellowship with us in the blessings of the gospel, engaging on our 
 part to love you as Christians, to pray for you, and seek your editica. 
 tion as we can, and willingly to be admonished and directed by you 
 in the right ways of the Lord with all meekness and humility, so long 
 as you shall continue among us. 
 
 [ Here the Church resume their scats.'] 
 
 [When members remove to other places, it i& their duty to ask, and ours to 
 grant, a recommendation to another church, for they can not withdraw from 
 Christian communion without breaking their covenant.]

 And now, beloved in the Lord, let it be impressed on your minds, 
 that you have entered into solemn relations, which you never can re- 
 nounce. These vows will be upon you for ever. Rejoice with ex- 
 ceeding joy because of those indissoluble bonds which connect you 
 with Christ and his people. Forget not this day. Be faithful unto 
 death; for if found faithful, it will not be long before you are admit- 
 ted into that world where no longer through the medium of ordinances, 
 but with open face you shall behold the glory of the Lord, and changed 
 into the same image, from glory to glory, shall dwell for ever in His 
 presence. May the Lord guide and preserve you through this transi- 
 tory life, and at last receive you and us to that blessed world where 
 our love and joy shall be for ever perfect. Amen.
