You do unfeignedly Believe the doctrine of his Gospel, and the Articles of the Christian faith, concerning his Person, his Offices, and his suffering and works. 2. You do take him unfeignedly for the only Redeemer and Saviour of mankind, and Give up ⟨p. 263⟩your selves to be saved by his Merits, Righteousness, Intercession, &c. as he hath promised in his word. 3. You trust upon him and his promises, for the attainment of your Reconciliation and Peace with God, your Justification, Adoption, Sanctification, and the Glory of the life to come. 4. You take him for your Lord and King, your Owner and Ruler by the right of Redemption; and your grand Benefactor, that hath obliged you to Love and Gratitude, by saving you from the wrath to come, and purchasing eternal Glory for you, by his most wonderful condescension, life and sufferings.
