Church Covenant of Windsor, Conn. AD 1647

1. We believe though God made man in an holy and blessed condition, yet by his fall he hath plunged himself and all his posterity into a miserable state.  Rom. III, 23; v. 12.
2. Yet God hath provided a sufficient remedy in Christ for all broken hearted sinners that are loosened from their sins, and selves and world, and are enabled by faith to look to Him in Christ for mercy, inasmuch as Christ hath done and suffered for such whatever His justice requires atonement and life; and he doth accept His merits and righteousness for them that believe in Him, and imputeth it to them for their justification, as if they had satisfied and obeyed themselves.  Heb. vii, 25; Mat. xi, 28; xxii, 24; v. 4, 6; 1 Cor. i, 30; Rom. iv, 3, 5; v. 19.
3. Yet we believe that there is no other name or means to be saved from guilt and the power of sin. John XIV, 6; Acts IV 12.
4. We believe God hath made an everlasting covenant in Christ with all penitent sinners that rest on him in Christ, never to reject, or cease to do them good.  Heb. viii, 6; vii, 22; I Sam. xii, 22; Jer. xxxii, 40.
5. We believe this covenant to be reciprocal, obliging us to be his people, to love, fear, obey, cleave to him, and serve him with all our heart, mind and soul; as him to be our God, to love, choose, delight in us and save and bless us in Christ; yea, as his covenant binds us to love him and his Christ for his own sake, so to love our brethren for his sake.  Deut. x, 12; Hos. iii, 3; ii, 21; Deut. xxvi, 17-19; John, iv, 21.
6. We believe that God's people, besides their general covenant with God, to walk in subjection to him, and christian love to all his people, ought also to join themselves into a church covenant one with another, and to enter into a particular combination, together with some of his people, to erect a particular ecclesiastical body, and kingdom, and visible family and household of God, for the managing of discipline and public ordinances of Christ in one place in a dutiful way, there to worship God and Christ, as his visible kingdom and subjects, in that place waiting on him for that blessing of his ordinances and promises of his covenant, by holding communion with him and his people, in the doctrine and discipline of that visible kingdom, where it may be attained.  Rom. xii, 4, 5, 6; I Cor. xii, 27, 28; Ephes. iv, 11, 12; Acts, ii, 47; Exod. xii, 43, 44, 45; Gen. xvii, 13; Isa. xxiii, 4.
7. We for ourselves, in the sense of our misery by the fall and utter helplessness elsewhere, desire to renounce all other saviours but his Christ and to rest on God in him alone, for all happiness, and salvation from all misery; and do here bind ourselves in the presence of men and angels, by his grace assisting us, to choose the Lord, to serve him, and walk in all his ways, and to keep all his commandments and ordinances, and his Christ to be our king, priest and prophet, and to receive his gospel alone for the rule of our faith and manners, and to [be] subject to the whole will of Christ so far as we shall understand it; and bind ourselves in special to all the members of this body, to walk in reverend subjection to the Lord to all our superiors, and in love, humility, wisdom, peaceableness, meekness, inoffensiveness, mercy, charity, spiritual helpfulness, watchfulness, chastity, justice, truth, self-denial, one to another, and to further the spiritual good one of  another, by example, counsel, admonition, comfort, oversight, according to God, and submit or[selves] subject unto all church administration in the Lord.
