To receive what they are willing to give, toward the relief of the poor. 2. To meet the minister and the stewards of the society once a week; in order To inform the minister of any that are sick, or of any that walk disorderly, and will not be reproved: To pay to the stewards what they have received of their several classes in the week preceding; And To shew their account of what each person has contributed. 4. There is one only condition previously required in those who desire admission into these societies, _A desire to flee from the wrath to come, to be saved from their sins_: But, wherever this is really fixed in the soul, it will be shewn by its fruits. It is therefore expected of all who continue therein, that they should continue to evidence their desire of salvation, First, By doing no harm, by avoiding evil in every kind; especially, that which is most generally practised. Such is The taking the name of God in vain; The profaning the day of the Lord, either by doing ordinary work thereon, or by buying or selling: Drunkenness, _buying or selling spirituous liquors_; or _drinking them_ (unless in cases of extreme necessity:) _Fighting_, quarreling, brawling; brother _going to law_ with brother; returning evil for evil, or railing for railing: the _using many words_ in buying or selling: The _buying or selling uncustomed goods_: The _giving or taking things on usury_: i. e. unlawful interest: _Uncharitable_ or _unprofitable_ conversation; particularly speaking evil of magistrates or of ministers: Doing to others as we would not they should do unto us: Doing what we know is not for the glory of God: As The _putting on gold and costly apparel_: The _taking such diversions_ as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus: The _singing_ those _songs_, or _reading_ those _books_, which do not tend to the knowledge or love of God: Softness, and needless self-indulgence: Laying up treasures upon earth: Borrowing without a probability of paying; or taking up goods without a probability of paying for them. 5. It is expected of all who continue in these societies, that they should continue to evidence their desire of salvation, Secondly, By doing good, by being in every kind, merciful after their power; as they have opportunity, doing good of every possible sort, and as far as is possible to all men; To their bodies, of the ability which God giveth, by giving food to the hungry, by cloathing the naked, by visiting or helping them that are sick, or in prison. To their souls, by instructing, _reproving_ or exhorting all they have any intercourse with: trampling under foot that enthusiastick doctrine of devils, that “we are not to do good, unless _our heart be free to it_.”
