Christ has a visible Church, the terms of admission to which
, are a public profession of faith in Christ, sustained by credit1
'
able evidence.
That Baptism and the Lord's supper are ordinances to be
observed in the Church to the end of the world; that none but
1
members of the visible Church, in regular standing, should
partake of the Lord's supper, and that only they and their
households are proper subjects of B~Lptisrn.
Thus we soleurnly profess our belief.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Woodstock is a town in Windham County, Connecticut. In the mid-17th century, John Eliot, a Puritan missionary to the American Indians, established "praying towns" where Native Americans took up Christianity and were expected to renounce their religious ceremonies, traditional dress, and customs. One Praying town, called Wabaquasset, six miles west of the Quinebaug River in present-day Woodstock, was the largest of the three northeastern Connecticut praying towns. In 1675, when King Philip's War broke out, some of the town's Indians, (especially in the southern part of the town) sided with the Mohegans and the English while others sided with the Indians led by Philip, rallying to arms on what is now Curtis Island in present Holland, Massachusetts and Brimfield, Massachusetts. During the war, the Praying town became deserted, and the English with their Indian allies marched through Woodstock to present day Thompson in the summer of 1676 burning any crops or stored corn they could find. In 1682, Massachusetts bought a tract of land, which included Woodstock, from the Mohegans. A group of 13 men from Roxbury, Massachusetts (home of the Pastorate of Woodstock's earlier visitor, John Eliot), settled the town in 1686 and named it New Roxbury. Judge Samuel Sewall suggested the town change its name to Woodstock in 1690, and in 1749 the town became part of Connecticut. <a title="Woodstock is a town in Windham County, Connecticut.

God, existing in three persons, Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost ; and that these are in essence one,
and in all divine attributes equal.

Isa. 9: 6. Rom. 9: 5. Acts 5: 3, 4.
IL We believe that the Scriptures of the old
and - new Testaments were written by inspiration
of God, and constitute a perfect rule of faith and
practice.

5: 39. Rev. 22: 18, 19.

III. We believe that God created all things for
his own pleasure and glory ; and that his knowledge and purposes extend to all events, however
great, however !:-mall.

IV. vVe believe that our first parents were made
in the image of God, holy and upright; that by
disobedience they lost this image, and involved
both themselves and their posterity in the ruins of
the Fall . .

---·•~•---COVENANT.
You do now in this public manner, in the presence of the dread majesty of heaven and earth,
and before angels and men, solemnly covenant to
take the great Jehovah to be your Lord and supreme Good; God the Father to be your Father
and Sovereign, God the Son to be your Redeemer
and Savior, and God the Holy Ghost to be your
Sanctifier, Comforter and Guide-promising
by the
aid of divine grace to deny all ungodliness, to
maintain a strict watch over your heart and life, to
walk in all the commandments and ordinances of
the Lord blameless, and by a life of prayer and
�5
constant piety so to let your light shine, that others
seeing your good works may be led to glorify your
Father who is in heaven.
You do also cordially join yourself to this church
as a visible church of Christ, putting yourself under its special watch and care, and solemnly promising to submit to its discipline, to attend with it
upon public worship and the ordinances of divine
appointment, to seek its peace and purity, and to
treat all its members with that christian love and
tenderness which is becoming the followers of the
meek and lowly Jesus.
Thus in the strength of your Lord and Savior
you solemnly covenant and promise.
We, then, the members of this church, do affectionately receive you to our fellowship and communion, and declare you entitled to all its pri vileges and ordinances ;-at the same time promising,
on our part, to treat you with christian affection,
to watch over you as becometh saints, and to pray
that the great Head of the church will enable yon
to keep with fidelity the solemn covenant into
which you have now entered.
And now, beloved in the Lord, let it be deeply
impressed on your minds, that you have entered
into solemn engagements from which you can never
escape. Wherever you are, wherever you go, these
covenant vows will rest upon you. They will follow you to your dying hour; they will follow you
to the bar of God ; they will abide upon you
throughout eternity,
You can never undo, what
you have now done. You stand unalterably pledged
to be the Lord's; and he will hold you to your
promise.
Henceforth the eyes of the world will be upon
you; and as you demean yourselves, so religion
will be honored or disgraced. If yon walk worthy
of your profession, you will be to us a credit and
�6
comfort ; but if otherwise, an occasion of grief and
reproach.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of
you, though we thus speak, and things which accompany salvation.
May the Lord guide and preserve you till death, and finally permit you and us
to unite with the church of the first born in the
kingdom of heaven.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Contains 26 pages of manuscript bound with the original publication
An offshoot of the original Congrgational Church in Woodstock, the parish was established about 1766 under the pastorship of the Reverend Abel Stiles. This volume, published in 1840, contains the Covenant and Confession of Faith, as well as a list of pastors and members of the congration as of that date. It also contains 26 pages of additional church history and membership by an unknown contributor.
Woodstock is a town in Windham County, Connecticut.<br />
<p>In the mid-17th century, John Eliot, a Puritan missionary to the American Indians, established "praying towns" where Native Americans took up Christianity and were expected to renounce their religious ceremonies, traditional dress, and customs. One Praying town, called Wabaquasset, six miles west of the Quinebaug River in present-day Woodstock, was the largest of the three northeastern Connecticut praying towns.</p>
<p>In 1675, when King Philip's War broke out, some of the town's Indians, (especially in the southern part of the town) sided with the Mohegans and the English while others sided with the Indians led by Philip, rallying to arms on what is now Curtis Island in present Holland, Massachusetts and Brimfield, Massachusetts. During the war, the Praying town became deserted, and the English with their Indian allies marched through Woodstock to present day Thompson in the summer of 1676 burning any crops or stored corn they could find.</p>
<p>In 1682, Massachusetts bought a tract of land, which included Woodstock, from the Mohegans. A group of 13 men from Roxbury, Massachusetts (home of the Pastorate of Woodstock's earlier visitor, John Eliot), settled the town in 1686 and named it New Roxbury. Judge Samuel Sewall suggested the town change its name to Woodstock in 1690, and in 1749 the town became part of Connecticut.<br /><br /><a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock,_Connecticut" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock,_Connecticut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock,_Connecticut</a></p>
