The First Church of Christ in Milford was organized in New Haven, August 22, 1639, — whicli was before the settle- ment of the town was commenced. The formation of the church is thus referred to in Mather's Magnaha. "There were then two famous churches gathered at New Haven ; gathered in two days, one following upon the other ; Mr. Davenport's and Mr. Prudden's, and with this one singulaa' circumstance, that a mighty barn was the place wherein the duties of that solemnity were attended." The only authentic account of this transaction is contained in the records of this church, in the following words. " The church of Christ at Milford was first gathered at New Haven, uppon August 22, 1639. The persons first jo3ming in the foundation, were these whose names are next under men- tioned. Peter Pruddbn, Zachariah Whitman, William Fowler, John Astwood, Edmund Tapp, Thomas Buckingham, Thomas Welsh. " The church covenant y* they entered into is hereunder written. " Since it hath pleased y^ Lord of his infinite goodness and free gi'ace to call us (a company of poor miserable wretches) out of y® world unto fellowship with himselfe in Jesus Christ, and to bestow himselfe upon us by an everlasting covenant of his free grace, sealed in y« blood of Jesus Christ, to be our God, and to make and avouch us to be his people, and hath undertaken to circumcise our hearts, that we may love y* Lord our God, and feare him, and walk in his wayes : we, therefore, do this day, avouch y* Lord to be our God, even Jehovah, the only true God, the Almighty maker of heaven and earth, the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ ; and wee do this day enter into an holy covenant with y" Lord, and one with an- other, through y® grace and help of Christ strengthening us, (without whom we can do nothing,) to deny ourselves and all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and all corruptions and pollu- tions, wherein in any sort wee have walked. And do give up ourselves wholly to y« Lord Jesus Christ, to be taught and gov- erned by him in all relations,' conditions and conversations in this world ; avouching him to be our only prophet and teacher, our only Priest and propitiation, our only King and Lawgiver. And we do further bind ourselves, in his strength, to walk be- fore him, in all professed subjection to all his holy ordinances, according to y« rule of the g6spell, and also to walk together with his church and y« members thereof in all brotherly love and holy watchfulness, to y^ mutual building up one another in Fayth and Love. All which y^ Lord help us to perform, through his rich grace in Christ, according to his Covenant. Amen." II. Pastors. 1st. The first pastor of this church was Rev. Peter Prudden, one of the seven who first signed the Covenant, and who were called the " seven pillars." Mr. Prudden was bom in Edgeton, Yorkshire, Eng., in the year 1600, and came to this country in M3l. He had been a preacher, for several years, in England, where, says Mather, " God had marvelously blessed his minis- try unto inany about Herefordshire and near Wales, from whence when he came into New England, there came therefore many considerable persons with him." The following account of his ordination, as pastor of this church, is found in his own handwriting, in the records of this church. "I, Peter Prudden, was called to' the oflSce of a pastour in this church and ordayned at New Haven, by Zachariah Whit- man, William Fowler, Edmund Tapp, designed by ye church, to that work. Zach. Whitman being ye Moderator for that meeting, in a day of solemn humiliation, upon ye 3d Wednes- day in April, 1640, being, I remember, ye I8th day of ye month." Mr. Prudden died in July, 1656, in the 66th year of his age, having been pastor of the church 16 years. He was distin- guished for " piety, gi-avity and boiling zeal, against the grow- ing evils of the times, and besides other excellent qualities, was noted for a singular faculty to sweeten, compose, and qualify exasperated spirits, and stop and heal all controversies. 'Whence it was-that his town of Milford, enjoyed peace and truth all his days."* After the death of Mr. Prudden the church was destitute of a pastor for about four years. 2d. Rey. Roger Newton was born in England, and received a part of his education there. He completed it at Harvard College, Cambridge, and studied theology with his father-in- law, Dr. Thomas Hooker, of Hartford. He was the iirst pastor of the church in FarmingtoriJ over which he was installed about the year 1645. While there he received a call from this church, and " was ordained Pastour, with praier and flfasting and y^ laying on of y« hands of Zach. Whitman, Elder, John Fletcher, Deacon, and Mr. Rob'. Treat, ma^strate, (though not as mag- istrate and Deacon, but as appointed by y^ church to joyne with y^ Ruling elder in laying on hands in y« name of y^ church,) August 22, 1660." He died June 1, 1683. 3d. Rev. Samuel Andrew was born in Cambridge, Mass., in 1656. He was graduated at Harvard CoUefge in 1676, and was tutor in that institution when called to the pastoral charge of this church. He was ordained Nov. 18, 1685, and died Jan. 24, 1'738, aged 82 years, — ^having been pastor of the church more than 52 years. He was one ti the tiiree men who were most active in the measures taken to found Yale College, and was one of the tea men " agreed upon by general consent to be trustees to found, erect, and govern a college." He was twice chosen Rector pro tern, of the College, which ofSce he held about thirteen years in all, and for several y«ars the senior class were under nis instruction in Milford. " He was considered," says Prof. Kingsley, " one of the best sdiolars of his time, and one of the principal founders of tho College, and deserves to be considered one of its greatest as trell as earliest benefactors." 4th. Rev. Samuel Whittelset was bom in Wallingford in 1'714. He was graduated at Yale College in 1729, and had been a tutor in that institution for six years, when he was in» vited to the pastoral care of this church. He was ordained ooHeague pastor with Rev. Samuel Andrew, Dec. 9, 1737, HJS settlement was opposed by a strong and respectable minority, » Mather's Magnalia, VoL I, p. 367. I* 6 ■who alleged that he was in sentiment an Arminian. They however agreed to submit to his ordination, with the promise that if they were not satisfied with his preaching at the end of six months, relief should be provided. At the end of two years, being still more dissatisfied, they applied first to the church, then to the town, and finally to the Association for re- hef. Failing in all these applications, they formed themselves into a " soberly dissenting society," and commenced worship by themselves the first Sabbath in December, 1741. Thus origin- ated the 2d church and society in this town.* Mr. Whittelsey died Oct. 22, 1768, aged 54 years, and hav- ing been pastor of the church 31 years. 5th. Rev. Samtjbl Wales, D. D., was born in Ra3mham, Mass., March, 1748, and was graduated at Yale College 1767. For a short time he taught in Dr. Wheelock's Indian School at Lebanon; was elected tutor in Yale College in 1769, and was installed pastor of this church Deo. 19, 1770. He was ap- pointed chaplain in the revolutionary army in 1776, and Pro- fessor of Divinity in Yale College in 1781. In consequence of this last appointment, he resigned the office of pastor of this church, May 15, 1782. In 1786 he visited Europe in conse-- quence of ill health, but without permanent benefit. For the last two years of his life he was unable to officiate. He died at New Haven, Feb. 18, 1794, aged 46. "He was an excel- lent preacher," says Dr. Holmes, " and by his distinguished abilities, in union with exemplary piety, he added lustre and dignity to the theological chair." 6. Eev. William LocKwoon was bom in Wethersfield, and was graduated at Yale College in 1774. In 1779 he was ap- pointed a tutor in that institution, and was installed pastor of this church March 17, 1784. In consequence of ill health he was dismissed from his pastoral charge April 28, 1796, and re- moved to Andover, Conn. In 1797 he was settled over the church in Glastenbury, but his health failing, he was dismissed in ll805. He died in Glastenbury in 1828. 7th. Rev. Bezaleel Pinned was bom in Lebanon, (now Co- lumbia,) Conn., July 28, 1769, and was graduated at Dart- mouth College in 1791. He was ordained and installed pastor of this Church Oct. 26, 1796. In 1839, in consequence of age * See a full history of this division in Trumbull's History of Connec- ticut, Vol. II, p. 335. and infirmity, he retired from all oflScial duty, and died Sept. 18, 1849. 8th. Rev. David Benton Cob was bom in Granville, Mass., August 16, 1814. He was graduated at Yale College in 1837, and at the Theological Seminary in 1840. He was a tutor in Yale College when called to the pastoral charge of this church. He was ordained Oct. 14, 1840, as colleague pastor with Kev. B. Pinneo, and dismissed August 25, 1844. 9th. Rev. Jonathan Brace was born in Hartford, Conn., June 12, 1810. He was graduated at Amherst College, Mass., in 1831. He was ordained pastor of the Congregational church in Litchfield, Conn.; and continued there from 1838 to 1844. He left there for reasons connected with his health, and was supplying a Presbyterian church in the city of New York, when he was called to the pastoral charge of this church. He was installed September 24, 1845. His theological studies were pursued at Andover, New Haven and Princeton. The church has been destitute of a settled pastor since its formation twelve years and eight months, and the average term of official service of each pastor is about a quarter of a century. Feb. 3, 1805, thirty members of -this church received letters of dismission, and were organized into a separate church March 13, 1805, in North Milford, which had recently been incorpo- rated as an ecclesiastical society.* III. Elders and Deacons. 1. Teaching Elders. Rev. John SnERMANf was chosen teacher of this church soon after its organization, but he declined the appointment, and a teacher was never afterwards appointed. 2. Ruling Elders. Ordaioed. Died. Zachaeiah Whitman, June 26, 1645, April 25, 1666. John Clark, June 4, 16V3, Feb. 25, 1674. Daniel Buckingham, June 4, 1673, May 2, 1712. "With the death of Elder Buckingham the office of ruling elder ceased in this church. * For further particulars relative to the Origin and History of the Church, see a Thanksgiving Discourse preached by the Pastor, 'Soy. 25, 18.52.

If they V. Eevivals. For ninety years after the formation of the church, additions to it were more frequent, but in smaller numbers at a time, than in later years. In no case were there more than fifteen added in one year, or more than eleven at one time. From 1733 to 1770 accessions became more frequent, but this is to be attributed chiefly to the plan of receiving members on the half-way covenant. In the early part of Mr. Whittelsey's min- istry commenced a general revival of religion throughout the New Eiigland churches ; and it is probable that of the unusual number admitted to this church in the years 1738 and 1741, a large proportion were fruits of that revival. The following table shows what years have been distinguish- ed for revivals of religion — the number of additions to the church hy profession — and the number admitted at one time.

From 1733 till the commencement of Dr. "Wales's ministry, persons were admitted to the church on the half-way covenant, i. e., they were allowed to present their children for baptism, but not to come to the communion How many of the additions included in the foregoing and the following tables were of this class, we have no means of deciding. 10 I.

You do now in the presence of God and this assembly, sol- emnly avouch the Lord Jehovah to be your God ; God the Fa- ther to be your Father, God the Son to be your Savior ; God the Holy Spirit to be your sanctifier ; and the word of God to be your rule of faith and practice ; and you dedicate yourself to him to be only his ; to be guided by his Spirit, to be ruled by his laws, to be disposed of by his Providence ; — engaging, that by his grace assisting you, you will seek supremely the honor of his name, and the glory of his kingdom ; and that denying all ungodliness and worldly lusts, you will live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world. Moreover, you covenant with the members of this church of Christ, to walk with them in all the ways of God's worship and ordinances ; to submit to the government and discipline of the church according to the rules of the Gospel ; to labor for its edification, peace, and prosperity ; to watch over, comfort, admonish, and strengthen your brethren ; and wUlingly to be admonished and reproved by them, with the meekness and hu- mility of the' Gospel. Thus you covenant and promise. (The ordinance of baptism, unlesB previously received, will here be adminiatercd. ] We, [The members of the church will here rise,] then, the members of this church, do now receive you into our communion ; and we also covenant with you, that with the assistance of the divine Spirit we will watch over you with Christian tenderness and charity ; ever treating you as a member of the body of Christ. * On the constitution and rights of churches, see Barnes' Apostolic Church, Coleman's Primitive Church, Punchard on Congregationalism. 21 This we do, imploring the great Head of the church to enable us to be mutually faithful to our corenant, and to glorify him ■with that holiness which becometh his house forever.* STANDING RULES. 1.

B. having expressed his desire to be dismissed from this church, with a view of becom- ing connected with the denomination : — This is there- fore to certify, that he is a member in regular standiing, in this church, and when received into church according to their forms and usages, he will be considered as no longer a member of this church or under our watch and care. 5. Members of this church who reside in other places for a longer time than one year, are expected to take letters of re- commendation from this church ; and letters for members who have been absent longer than one year, will only certify their good standing at the time of their departure. 6.

D^GIPLINE, Sec. 1. Whereas, gospel discipline is indispensable to the purity and well-being of the church, this church do declare, that whenever any member of it knows cause of complaint against another member for disciplinable offences, Christian watchfulness requires of him to make the same known to the church through the Committee of Discipline, in order that the offender may be properly dealt with, and the offense removed ; provided, however, if the offense be of a private nature, the complainant shall pursue the course prescribed in Matthew xviii, 15th to l7th verses. Sec. 2. No case of discipline shall be brought before this church, except through the Committee of Discipline, or after due application shall have been made, and opportunity afforded to them*fcr prosecuting the complaint. Sec. 3. Any member accused before this church, shall be notified of the charge, and allowed a fair investigation, and op- portunity for making his defense. Sec. 4. The confession of an accused member, or the con- current testimony of two credible witnesses, or circumstantial evidence deemed by the church equivalent to the same, shall be regarded suflicient for conviction. Sec. 5. No person shall be admitted to conduct the investi- gation in a case of discipline, unless he be a member or minis- ter of a church of our order and approved by the church for that purpose. Sec. 6. Though there is appointed by the church a Com- mittee of Discipline, whose oflBce it is to bring before the church such cases of delinquents as in their opinion requires their action, yet it is understood that in appointing the com- mittee aforesaid, the church do not discharge or lessen the cov- enant obligations of each individual member of the church, to watch over, admonish and reprove one another. 23 Note. — ^Every church member'bvight to be acquainted, not only with the conventional regulations of the particular church to which he belongs, but with the principles and polity of the ORDER to which he belongs.
