And in the First place, I would Beseech you to endeavour to gather and compose Your selves, and gravely to ponder what it is, that this day ye are Pressingly called to; It is even this, Come and let us Join our selves to the Lord in a Perpetual Covenant, never to be forgotten. Know and Believe, that there is such a thing as Covenanting with God; That God is dealing with you to Covenant with him; and that it is a good bargain: To you is this word of Salvation sent: And ye should be very Seriously thinking how to get it accepted and made use of; how to receive this offer by Faith, and how to get your selves given up and awa• to him; because in this Covenant (as I showed before) there is a Mutual engaging; God offers himself and all that is in him to be ours, and to be made forth c•ming for our good: and we by Faith close wi•h the offer, and give up our selves to him to be at his dispose: have ye any serious thoughts of this? But your selves to it, and we ⟨p. 260⟩in the Name of the Lord put you to it, for we cannot well proceed any further, till ye be at some point in this: are ye in earnest?

It's to Covenant with God, and ere ye depart this Place, to put it to a point, that it may be a closed bargain, that should be your errand.
