VI. We shall also according to our places and callings in this common cause of Religion, Liberty and Peace of the Kingdomes, assist and defend all those that enter into this League [...]d Covenant, in the maintaining and pursuing thereof, and shall not suffer our selves directly or indirectly by whatsoever combination, perswasion, or terrour, to bee divided and withdrawn from [...]is blessed Vnion and conjunction, whether to make defection to the contrary part, or to give our selves to a detestable indifferency or neutrality in this cause, which so much concerneth the glory of God, the good of the Kingdoms, and the honour of the King; but shall all the dayes of our lives, zealously and constantly continue therein against all opposition, and promote the same according to our power, against all lets and impediments whatsoever; and what we are not able our selves to suppresse or overcome, we shall reveale and make known, that it may bee timely prevented or removed; All which we shall doe as in the sight of God.
And because these Kingdoms are guilty of many sins and provocations against God, and his Son Jesus Christ, as is too manifest by our present distresses and dangers, the fruits thereof: Wee professe and declare before God and the world our unfained defire to be humbled for our own sins, and for the sins of these Kingdomes, especially that we have not as we ought, valued the inestimable benefit of the Gospel, that we have not laboured for the purity and power thereof, and that we have not endeavoured to receive Christ in our hearts, nor to walke worthy of him in our lives, which are the causes of our sins and transgressions so much abounding amongst us; and our true and unfained purpose, desire, and endeavour for our selves, and all others under our power and charge, both in publike and in private, in all duties wee owe to God and Man, to amend our lives, and each one to goe before another in the example of a reall Reformation, that the Lord may turne away his wrath and heavy indignation, and establish these Churches and Kingdoms in truth and peace. And this Covenant we make in the presence of Almighty God the Searcher of all hearts, with a tru [...] intention to perform the same, as we shall answer at the great day, when the secrets of all hearts shall bee disclosed: Most humbly beseeching the Lord to strengthen us by his Holy Spirit for this end, and to blesse our desires and proceedings with such successe, as may be deliverance and safety to his people, and encouragement to other Christian Churches groaning under, or in danger of the yoke of Antichristian tyranny, to joyne in the same or like Association and Covenant, to the glory of God, the enlargement of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and the peace and tranquillity of Christian Kingdoms and Common-wealths.
