nor -will Avee dcalc liarillj, or opressingly with any, Avliercin we 

 are tho Lord's stewards : alsoe promysing to our best abilitie

 and his will, that they may serve him also ; and all this, not 

 by any strength of our owne, but by the Lord Christ, Avhose 

 bloud we desire may sprinckle this our covenant made in his 

 name. 



This Covenant vxis renewed by the Church on a sol- 

 lemnc day of HwniUiation 6 q/" 1 morieth 1660. When 

 also considerin g the power of Temptation amongst lis by 

 reason of ye Quakers doctrine to the leavening of some in 

 the place tvhere we are and endangering of others, doe see 

 cause to remember ilie Admonition of our Saviour Christ 

 to his disciples, Math. 16. Take heed and beware of ye 

 leaven of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and doe judge soe 

 farre as we understand it yt ye Quakers doctrine is as 

 bad or worse than that of ye Pharisees : Therefore we doe 

 covenant by the help of Jesus Christ to take heed and 

 heware of the leaven of the doctrine of the Quakers.
