Excerpt from The Code of 1650: Being a Compilation of the Earliest Laws and Orders of the General Court of Connecticut
Query III. Those who have desired to be re ceived as free planters, and are settled in the plantation, with a purpose, resolution and desire, that they may be admitted into church fellowship, according to Christ, as soon as God shall fit them thereunto, were desired to express it by holding up hands. Accordingly all did express this to be their desire and purpose by holding up their hands twice, (viz.) at the proposal Of it, and after when these written words were read unto them.
