the East and West_, _shall fall_, _to rise no more_—when _Zion’s Watchmen shall see_, _eye to eye_—when _Jews and Gentiles form one fold_—when _peace and holiness shall be universal_—when _kings shall be nursing fathers to the Church_, _and the whole earth serve the Lord_! Happy period! the Lord hasten it in his time. Brethren, we shall soon be done with time, and through rich grace, join the chorus of the skies.—Hold fast the form of sound words: be concerned to feel the power of truth in the heart; keep in the fear of God, obeying his will, walking as he has set forth his mind; looking unto Jesus; praying to be kept in all danger, temptation, persecution, and trial, and so we shall give him glory in the Church below, and in the Church above.—_Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling_, _and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory—to the only wise God our Saviour_, _be glory_, _dominion_, _and power_. _Amen_. * * * * * _The following are the Articles of Faith I read at my Ordination_; _and are necessary for every Christian to know_, _feel_, _and enjoy—they are the Sentiments I preach_, _and you_, _as a Church_, _believe_. _May we rejoice in the truth_, _and yield obedience thereto_.— _We think if requisite that every Member of the Church should give his or her assent to the annexed_ CONFESSION of FAITH. I. I BELIEVE, that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the word of God, and the only rule of faith and practice. II. I believe, that there is but One only, living, and true God; that there are three Persons in the Godhead, who are equal in nature, power, and glory; and, that the Son and Holy Ghost, are as truly and properly God, as the Father. These Three divine Persons are distinguished from each other by peculiar relative properties. These Three divine distinct Persons, I profess to reverence, serve, and worship, as the One true God. III. I believe that before the World began, God did elect a certain number of Mankind unto everlasting life, whom he did predestinate to the adoption of Children, by Jesus Christ, of his own free grace, and according to the good pleasure of his will; that he appointed holiness as the means: and that no one has a right to consider himself as a chosen vessel, till he is effectually called by the grace of God. IV. I believe, that God made all things in Creation, out of nothing, to display his goodness, wisdom, power, and glory; and, that by the same power, he upholds and governs, rules and directs all things in Heaven and Earth; and, that he displays his sovereignty according to the counsel of his own will, or his eternal plan, formed before all Worlds.
