I Engage, That I will ever study what is my Duty in these things; and wherein I find my self to fall short, I will ever count it my Grief, my Shame, and for pardon betake my self to the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant.
All this I Engage, humbly imploring the Grace of the Mediator to be sufficient for me.
