TESTIMONY of BELI EF,
AND
FELLOWSHIP in UNIO N,.
OF A
u^^t^^
Not boating of things without our■
but having hope. apostle^^TT;
FIRST.
WE believe, that all Scripture, as
contained in the Old and New
Testament, is given by inspiration of
GOD ; and is profitable for dodrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruc
tion in rigbteoufnefs.
SECOND.
We believe in one G O D, the Father,
of whom are all things, and we in him,
manifefted in one Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom are all things, and we by him,
revealed in one Spirit of truth, who re-,
ceives of Jesus, shews the Redeemer un
to us, and glorifies the Saviour.
THIRD. e
We believe it is a faithful faying, that
they who believe in God, should be
careful to maintain good works, for these
LONG have I wilh'd from thee, O life, to fly,
(So heavy is the misery which I feel !)
Qjit thy fad scenes, and reach the blifsful Iky,
No longer bound to fortune's giddy wheel.
To live in peace, was all that I defir'd ;
Mild were my p^ffions, and my mind at ease;
To foread the scene of Friendship I afpir'd,
And bid the tumult of contention cease.
Content in reason's circle to confine
My mental feelings, riches I dtlpis'd ;
I never bow'd at mad ambition's shrine,
But virtue, and the friends of virtue priz'd.
Humble my lot, humility 1 lov'd ;
Qqlet f wifh'd the paths of life to treid ;
The toils of honest industry approv'd, @
And praised the man who earn'd his daily bread.
At haughty wealth, I seldom deign'd to frown,
Since to the world, wealth blessings may impart;
I never on the hapless wretch look'd down,
But footh'd the throbbings of the human heart.
Was giddy youth to vanity inclin'd ?—
I freely pointed out the belter way ;
Did avarice oppress the aged mind ?
I wifh'd the monster, reason would obey.
Love, founded on esteem, my favour gain'd ;
Sweet was the voice of nature to my ears ;
Humanity still in my bosom reign'd,
Hushing the wife's, the husband's infant fears.
Philanthropy ! adhering to thy cause,
The rights of man my steady foul rever'd ;
True to religion, freedom, and the laws,
No smile I courted, and no frown I fear'd.
Spendthrift and miser did my pity claim :_
Scorning to scatter, and adverse to hoard,
From worldly vanity I fought no fame ;
Yet decent plenty ever crown'd my board.
But now expos'd to misery and disgrace,
Beneath misfortune's heavy weight I bow ;
In each averted eye contempt I trace,
And read difdainin every frowning brow.
Hear me, kind heaven ! that strength of mirid be
flow,
Which blunts the ills of poverty and age ;
Shield me, great Power ! from calumny & woe,
And let my foul my ceaseless care engage.
Teach me to pity tbofe at me who sneer,
And gently gliding down the bill of life,
Thee truly to adore, thee only fear,
And wean'd from pleasures, shun the ills of life.
• The Unfortunate Man.
Court OF THE fliusts.
And now, as the seal of Faith can on
ly be impressed by practice, we mutually
desire, a good confeffion may be wit
nessed, by meeting together, on the firft
day of the week, to read the Scriptures,
ling praises, and hear the preachea word,
accompanied by Prayer, Supplication
and Thanksgiving.
Second!,. In the fellowfhip of one
spirit of charity, and judging no man's
conscience, every man is to be fully per#
fuaded in his own mind, whether he
cometh unto, or abftaineth from Baptism
or the Lord's Supper; and whensoever
a Minister or Elder is requested to ad
minister the one, or celebrate the other,
let not him, who receiveth, or eateth, or
him who neither receiveth, nor eateth,
judge his Brother.
Thirdly. As Members of Society and
of Families, in the social and relative
connexions, we mutually desire to be
found in practical fellowfhip with the
precepts of the Lord Christ ; the pattern
he hath set before us ; and the admoni
tions of his Apofiles, and,Evangelifts;
and every brother or sister, who walketh
not orderly,is to be admonished in meek
ness and love, for the adorning of the
dodrine in all things.

FRENCH SQUADRON.

Totolon for Egypt, consisting of 3 So gun ships,

A gentleman who came passenger in the Argus,
informs us, that the news refpeaing the defeat of
Abercrombie, had fallen to the ground, and was
disbelieved in France when he left Bourdeaux, on
the 2d of May. Our belief of the inaccuracy of
the late accounts from Egypt, by the Brutus, is
strengthened, from the entire silence of the last
Paris papers on this fubjea. fluff Official.}

remarkable faft failing and fortunate ship Argus,
Capt. Mairi, arrived here in 33 days from Bour
deaux ; the firft ship which has performed her
voyage from hence to France and back, since the
renewal of our intercourse with that country.
By this arrival, we have received Paris papers
to the 26th of April inclusive, eight days later
than our French accounts via London. Upon
the whole, these papers furnilh us with but little
news of importance.
