Chriſt, and do make a ſure covenant with thee this day never to be reverſed, hoping thou wilt make all forthcoming unto me, both on thy part and mine.—I desire here to own all the contraverted truths that are founded on thy holy word; which word I desire to be my rule, and to confeſs me before men, that thou mayeſt confeſs me before the Father Lord, give me in that hour, if I ſhall be brought before great ones for thy names ſake, I desire to adhere to all the articles of the Covenants, National and Solemn League, to which I am engaged; only I diſown the king’s part of it, he having unkinged himſelf by the breach of Covenants, and by making our land a land of graven images that was ſo ſolemnly given up to God: I desire in weakneſs to adhere to it, altho' burnt by the hand of the hangman, and now buried by thoſe that better things were expected oh O Lord, I desire to cloſe all, by giving myſelf up to thee, and all mine. Accept Lord Jeſus Chriſt, and help to perform, and own me as thy covenanted child proteſting humbly, and failing on my part (againſt which I reſolve as thou knoweſt) ſhall not make void this covenant. I have accepted of thy offer upon thy own terms, and will henceforth wait for what is good, that when thou comeſt I may rejoice in thee
