I do this day ſolemlny enter into covenant with thee holding up my hands, vowing to be thine, giving up myſelf unto thee, cloſing with thee in thine own terms, begging thee to come and put to thy ſeal to this great work: and I desire, that this covenant may be as a ſtaff to hold me up from ſtaggering on the dark mountains. Lord help me to have a practice in sincerity, like one covenant with thee. O LORD, I do take the ſtones in the wall, and the timber of the houſe, to witneſses, that I have given up myſelf, and all mine, into thee, O Lord this day. As witneſs my hand.
