A Form of Admission into Church Fellowship.
This day ... I deliberately and chearfully enter myself a member of the Protestant Dissenting Congregation at Bridgnorth, and make a solemn Dedication of my whole self to God in Christ at the Lord's Table to Confirm my Baptismal Covenant and remember the Death of my Saviour, to be qualified for an interest in his merits and Mediation according to the Tenour of the Gospel; resolving by divine Grace to be an ornament to the Xtian profession and the Church I belong to.
Questions to be ask'd on this Occasion.
You give up yours: to God in a peculiar Manner. Will God accept the torn, the blind and the Lame? Surely no. 'Tis worth while at such a time deliberately to ask yourself: What am I? Let the Inquiry be strict, and serious; for a mistake here is fatal.
(1) Have you ever been inwardly Convinc'd of your lost Condition, a Child of Wrath even as others? Did you ever see yourself in a forlorn, helpless state without Christ?
(2) Was you ever deeply humbled before the Lord for your sins, your numberless actual Transgressions in heart and life? Hath sin been bitter to your soul; hath your heart been broken for it; hath your Sorrow been of the right kind; hath the sight of a broken Saviour, broken your heart?
(3) Have you sincerely closed with the Lord J. Xt. by a true and lively faith taken him to be yours; and resigned yours to him to be his? Have you accepted of Xt. upon Gospel Terms; a Prince to rule, and Saviour? Have you renounced all others? Is he precious to you, dearer than any thing in the world, etc.?
(4) Have you a real hatred of every sin in yo'self and others? Can you say with David, I hate every false way? Is it a burden to you? Do you long to be rid of it? Are your resolutions sincere and your endeavours serious against it, and all appearances of it, because it is against God?
[Bound in at end are some pp. of private, and meeting-house accounts, &c., evidently the treasurer's book, and in no way connected with the Registers
Hope these helps some folk searching Shropshire,
Pete
