they_o to_o who_o i_o have_v this_o to_o say_v 1._o that_o i_o think_v we_o may_v fair_o gather_v from_o what_o they_o have_v publish_v with_o their_o confession_n of_o faith_n of_o the_o institution_n and_o order_n of_o church_n that_o they_o do_v not_o admit_v any_o unbaptised_a christian_n to_o their_o communion_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n for_o in_o article_n the_o seven_o speak_v of_o a_o particular_a church_n gather_v and_o complete_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n in_o article_n the_o eight_o they_o say_v the_o member_n of_o those_o church_n be_v saint_n by_o call_v visible_o manifest_v and_o evidence_v their_o obedience_n unto_o that_o call_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v further_o know_v to_o each_o other_o by_o their_o confession_n of_o the_o faith_n wrought_v in_o they_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n do_v willing_o consent_v to_o walk_v together_o according_a to_o the_o appointment_n of_o christ_n give_v up_o themselves_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o one_o another_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o profess_a subjection_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o then_o if_o the_o member_n of_o a_o complete_a church_n do_v willing_o consent_v to_o walk_v together_o in_o profess_a subjection_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n none_o that_o do_v not_o subject_v themselves_o to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n in_o their_o sense_n can_v be_v orderly_o admit_v by_o they_o as_o complete_o qualify_v to_o their_o full_a communion_n and_o so_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hold_v communion_n with_o such_o unbaptised_a person_n they_o do_v not_o hold_v it_o as_o some_o of_o they_o pretend_v with_o christian_n mere_o as_o such_o but_o only_o with_o such_o christian_n which_o be_v qualify_v with_o water-baptism_n to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n but_o 2._o if_o they_o own_o that_o our_o baptise_v person_n on_o confession_n of_o faith_n by_o way_n of_o dip_v be_v also_o right_a baptism_n according_a to_o gospel-rule_n and_o so_o for_o this_o reason_n they_o can_v free_o hold_v their_o communion_n with_o we_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o corrector_n that_o their_o charity_n be_v more_o universal_a than_o we_o because_o than_o they_o receive_v we_o not_o mere_o on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o charity_n but_o as_o christian_n sit_o qualify_v with_o water-baptism_n but_o the_o case_n be_v different_a respect_v we_o for_o see_v we_o deny_v their_o infant-sprinkling_a to_o be_v true_a baptism_n or_o to_o be_v of_o god_n and_o so_o they_o be_v to_o we_o as_o unbaptised_a person_n our_o have_v full_a communion_n with_o they_o will_v be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o the_o light_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n but_o witness_v against_o by_o their_o practice_n of_o sprinkle_v for_o baptism_n as_o a_o qualification_n to_o full_a communion_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v equal_a reason_n to_o say_v that_o our_o refuse_v church-communion_n with_o they_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o charity_n towards_o they_o as_o christian_n any_o more_o than_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o it_o in_o themselves_o to_o other_o christian_n that_o be_v not_o sprinkle_v or_o any_o way_n baptize_v if_o they_o refuse_v communion_n with_o they_o as_o some_o have_v do_v in_o their_o private_a conference_n according_a to_o what_o be_v gather_v as_o their_o mind_n in_o print_n before_o so_o that_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o our_o brethren_n shall_v in_o the_o least_o be_v offend_v at_o we_o for_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o their_o communion_n when_o otherwise_o so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v their_o practice_n as_o well_o as_o our_o own_o conscience_n will_v condemn_v we_o for_o so_o do_v 3._o our_o aforesaid_a brethren_n of_o the_o independent_a church_n however_o some_o of_o their_o member_n have_v in_o their_o private_a converse_n reflect_v on_o we_o have_v fair_o grant_v faith_n see_v their_o 28_o article_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o church_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o congregational_a confession_n of_o faith_n that_o a_o person_n where_o he_o can_v continue_v in_o any_o church_n without_o his_o sin_n may_v depart_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o one_o church_n to_o another_o for_o they_o say_v person_n that_o be_v join_v in_o church-fellowship_n ought_v not_o light_o or_o without_o just_a cause_n to_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n whereunto_o they_o be_v so_o join_v nevertheless_o where_o any_o person_n can_v continue_v in_o any_o church_n without_o his_o sin_n either_o for_o want_v of_o the_o administration_n of_o

from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n wherewith_o he_o have_v so_o walk_v to_o join_v himself_o with_o some_o other_o church_n where_o he_o may_v enjoy_v the_o ordinance_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o same_o for_o his_o edification_n and_o consolation_n now_o see_v they_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v leave_v our_o communion_n with_o a_o church_n to_o join_v ourselves_o with_o some_o other_o church_n where_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o ordinance_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o same_o then_o none_o of_o they_o ought_v to_o blame_v we_o for_o not_o hold_v our_o full_a communion_n with_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o truth_n who_o we_o believe_v be_v not_o in_o the_o complete_a order_n and_o true_a administration_n of_o all_o gospel_n ordinance_n see_v we_o walk_v by_o their_o rule_n of_o communion_n according_a to_o our_o conscience_n though_o we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o light_n to_o walk_v with_o they_o 2._o for_o any_o of_o our_o baptise_a brethren_n to_o plead_v for_o mix_a communion_n from_o the_o obligation_n of_o universal_a charity_n for_o christian_n as_o they_o be_v such_o do_v rather_o betray_v their_o want_n of_o real_a love_n 4.19_o gal._n 5.22_o 1_o joh._n 4.19_o for_o that_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n flow_v first_o from_o the_o faith_n we_o have_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o

god_n it_o must_v consist_v with_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o his_o will_n so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v enlighten_v for_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n 3._o joh._n 14.21_o 23._o 1_o joh._n 5.2_o 3._o that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a and_o by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o love_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o love_n be_v pretend_v which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o christ_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v suspect_v than_o count_v real_a but_o in_o charity_n i_o must_v conclude_v it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o love_n to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n but_o for_o want_v of_o light_n that_o you_o plead_v for_o communion_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n with_o unbaptised_a christian_n however_o you_o do_v thereby_o virtual_o deny_v your_o own_o baptism_n to_o be_v essential_o necessary_a to_o a_o regular_a gospel-church_n and_o make_v void_a that_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n which_o in_o obedience_n to_o he_o you_o have_v subject_v to_o beside_o why_o may_v you_o not_o then_o also_o say_v that_o you_o ought_v in_o charity_n to_o christian_n mere_o as_o such_o although_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o baptize_v to_o call_v any_o gift_a christian_n to_o administer_v the_o ordinance_n of_o preach_v prayer_n and_o break_v bread_n in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o charity_n to_o those_o member_n that_o walk_v disorderly_a and_o break_v the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n forbear_v the_o execution_n of_o his_o ordinance_n of_o withdraw_a your_o church-communion_n from_o they_o because_o you_o believe_v they_o still_o to_o be_v real_a christian_n as_o if_o we_o can_v not_o love_v man_n person_n unless_o we_o favour_v their_o sin_n and_o thereby_o perhaps_o through_o the_o neglect_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o they_o harden_v their_o heart_n therein_o and_o so_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o christian_a charity_n the_o true_a order_n of_o a_o gospel-church_n may_v be_v quite_o destroy_v vii_o object_n but_o some_o may_v think_v i_o open_v the_o door_n of_o the_o church_n too_o wide_o and_o give_v too_o great_a encouragement_n for_o person_n to_o wander_v from_o church_n to_o church_n or_o to_o leave_v their_o present_a communion_n to_o imbody_n themselves_o into_o a_o distinct_a
