the Living God explicetly renew our
Covenant with God and one with another and after perusing the
Covenant on which this church was at first gathered, we do

us which has been the procuring causes of the divisions and
calamitys that God has sent or permitted in this place, especially
the neglect of a close walk with God and a watchfulness over our
brother. We desire from our hearts to bewail it before the Lord
and humbly to entreat for pardoning mercy through the blood of the
Everlasting Covenant, and we do heartily desire by God's grace to
reform these evils or whatsoever else have provoked the eyes of
God's glory among us."

was Sunday and in the morning a boat came to take him to "the
town"--or settlement at Portland Point--where he was to preach.
Evidently the people were disposed to hold aloof from his
ministrations at this time, for he says, "O! the darkness of the
place! * * I suppose there were upwards of 200 people there come
to the years of maturity, and I saw no signs of any Christian
excepting one soldier. Yet although I was among such an
irreligious people, the Lord was kind to me, and I lacked for

He returned to St. John in the latter part of August and preached on a
