Christians, besides the vows in baptism, have many personal and national engagements unto God by covenant, which are nothing else but the renovations and particular applications of that first vow in baptism.

'My great grandmother was a Protestant, said Ferdinand, 'Margaret Armine. Do you think Margaret a pretty name? 'Queen Margaret! yes, a fine name, I think; barring its abbreviation.
