Covenant

Weston June 29, 1741.--
At a Meeting of ye Brethren of the Church, appointed for that Purpose,--
Discourse we had about ye manner of Admission of Person into Communion--

Voted, Whereas Some serious Persons may have Scruples in their minds about Making a Relation of their Experiences or Convictions in order to their being received into Church-Fellowship as thinking they are not obliged thereto by ye Gospel,--That it shall not be Imposed upon them as a necessary Term of Communion, But that if they are of orderly, good lives, and give Satisfaction to ye Minister of their Knowledge in the Christian Religion, and understandingly make that Profession of Faith, (publickly) which is printed at ye end of Mr. William's Book, (entitled True Wisdom ye most excellent Good, to be earnestly Sought) &c,--it shall be satisfactory to ye Church--.
