_The Blanks left in Page 6, were formerly filled up with the Words_ (King) _and_ (him); _but as that Form of Expression does not suit our Republican Governments, the Teacher will be pleased to fill up the Blanks with what Words he may deem Expedient_.
_A_. My God-Fathers and God-Mothers in my Baptism; wherein I was made a Member of Christ, the Child of God, and an Inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Q. _What did your God-Fathers and God-Mothers then for you_?
_A_. They did Promise and Vow three Things in my Name: _First_, That I should renounce the Devil and all his Works, the Pomp and Vanity of this wicked World, and all the sinful Lusts of the Flesh: _Secondly_, That I should believe all the Articles of the Christian Faith: And, _Thirdly_, That I should keep God's holy Will and Commandments, and walk in the Same all the Days of my Life.
Q. _Dost thou not think, that thou art bound to Believe, and to Do, as they have promised for thee_?
_A_. Yes, verily; and by God's help so I will. And I heartily thank our Heavenly Father, that he hath called me to this State of Salvation, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. And I pray unto God to give me his Grace, that I may continue in the same unto my Life's End.
Catechist. _Rehearse the Articles of thy Belief_.
_A_. I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin _Mary_; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into Hell, the third Day he rose again from the Dead, he ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the Quick and the Dead.
