Thus we whose Names are hereunto subscribed have Covenanted
to be walking
together in the fellowship of the Gospel, and to bear
our testimony for the truth. Will the Lord grant, that we being of
one accord, of one mind, may live in love, walking worthy of the
Lord unto all well-pleasing in his sight, being fruitful in every good
word & work encreasing in the knowledge of God. Strengthened
with all might according to his glorious power unto all patience &
long suffering with joyfulness. Now to him who is able to do
exceedingly above all that we ask or think unto him be glory in the
Church by Christ Jesus throughout all Ages - Amen
