After preaching met in conference for the purpose of Constituting the Church at Capeharts M. H.
Elders A. Biggs-Wm. J Newborn & Reuben Lawrence composed the Presbitty---when the following seventy four members from Cashie & Wiccocon Churches presented their letters of dismission, and after the necessary
inquiry being made & the Presbittry being fully satisfied that the Church at this place was ready to be Constituted. They were constituted as a gospel Church and is to be as such to and as a regular Baptist Church of Jesus Christ by us a Presbittry---A. Biggs-Wm. J. Newborn-Reubin Lawrence And the united vote of all the members, after which they unanimously agreed to adopt the following Church Covenant & Rules of Decorum.
We whose names are written being called as we trust by the Grace of God, do in the name of the Lord Jesus voluntarily and jointly separate ourselves from the world and give ourselves to the Lord who hath promised to receive such & be their God--holding ourselves henceforth as his and no longer our own. We also voluntarily and mutually give ourselves to each other & receive one another in the Lord, meaning thereby to become one body, jointly to exist and jointly act by the bonds & rules of the gospel each esteeming ourselves henceforth as members of a Spiritual body, accountable to it, bound to obey it, subject to its control; and no otherwise to separate therefrom, than with consent first had; or unreasonably refused. We also voluntarily engage (the Lord enabling us) to keep the faith once delivered to the Saints; which we believe includes the following sublime and important doctrines. The being of a God, the trinity of person on
Godhead, the fall of Adam, and the imputation of his sin to his posterity, the corruption of human nature; and the impotency of man. Whereby he was rendered unable to do that which is truly properly, and spiritually good. The everlasting love of God in election redemption, and covenant of Grace justification by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ pardon and reconciliation through his precious blood regeneration and sanctification by the influence and operation of the holy spirit.The final perseverance of saints in grace the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgement in that the happiness of the righteous and the torments of the wicked; will be enaly finally we do voluntarily and jointly engage (in the strength of the Lord) to do all things which he hath commanded us to do, particular to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow the Lord,in all his examples and precepts, assemble ourselves together; as often as conveniently can attend our church conferences, and keep up a Gospel discipline that we may be unblamable in the sight of God, and man. That we may live as brethren and submit to one another in the Lord and also to know, honor, maintain and obey them who shall have the spiritual charge or rule over us in all things as is fit in the Lord. This is the covenant we now enter into be the Lord; and we solemnly call upon Almighty God to witness the purity of our intentions and sincerity of our souls in this weighty and all important business and to establish fix and confirm the above covenant, we have willingly, and
unanimously order our name to be affixed hereunto.
