a_o answer_n to_o the_o three_o question_n how_o do_v a_o people_n become_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n at_o first_o a_o people_n become_v a_o true_a visible_a church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o enter_v into_o a_o holy_a covenant_n with_o the_o lord_n to_o take_v he_o for_o their_o god_n and_o king_n to_o be_v rule_v and_o direct_v by_o his_o word_n and_o to_o submit_v unto_o all_o his_o holy_a ordinance_n thus_o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n when_o god_n do_v constitute_v abraham_n family_n a_o church_n i_o mean_v receive_v they_o into_o a_o church-estate_n it_o be_v by_o enter_v they_o into_o such_o a_o 17._o a_o gen._n 17._o covenant_n as_o before_o of_o which_o circumcision_n be_v a_o seal_n that_o which_o they_o covenant_v with_o god_n be_v 17.1_o be_v gen._n 17.1_o to_o walk_v before_o he_o and_o be_v perfect_a and_o god_n covenant_v with_o they_o to_o 7._o to_o verse_n 7._o be_v their_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o their_o feed_n and_o so_o they_o come_v into_o a_o church-estate_n this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o constitution_n of_o church_n those_o people_n who_o the_o apostle_n do_v receive_v into_o a_o church-estate_n it_o be_v by_o engage_v they_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o his_o holy_a ordinance_n this_o be_v plain_a if_o we_o read_v the_o 2._o of_o the_o act_n v._o 41._o there_o be_v three_o thousand_o receive_v into_o a_o church-estate_n which_o before_o neither_o be_v a_o church_n nor_o of_o the_o church_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o how_o come_v these_o to_o be_v a_o church_n why_o v._o 41._o 41._o v._o 41._o they_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n preach_v to_o they_o according_a to_o that_o word_n v._n 38._o 38_o v._o 38_o they_o do_v evidence_n their_o repentance_n for_o sin_n past_a which_o include_v a_o engagement_n to_o serve_v god_n for_o the_o future_a and_o upon_o this_o they_o be_v baptize_v and_o become_v a_o church_n v._o 41._o so_o when_o the_o apostle_n receive_v particular_a person_n into_o the_o church_n which_o before_o be_v not_o of_o it_o these_o do_v covenant_n for_o to_o take_v the_o lord_n for_o their_o god_n to_o own_o and_o serve_v he_o &_o so_o they_o become_v add_v unto_o the_o church_n act_n 19_o many_o become_v add_v unto_o the_o church_n but_o we_o read_v that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o believe_v such_o as_o confess_v their_o sin_n such_o as_o show_v their_o deed_n such_o as_o burn_v their_o profane_a book_n thus_o they_o covenant_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n be_v receive_v into_o the_o church_n thus_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o a_o company_n of_o people_n do_v become_v a_o church_n by_o enter_v into_o a_o holy_a covenant_n with_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n to_o own_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o therefore_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o 10._o the_o cant_n 4.8_o 9_o 10._o spouse_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o which_o name_n the_o church_n can_v not_o proper_o be_v call_v have_v
