faith_n which_o may_v be_v easy_o perceive_v by_o sense_n 28._o this_o visible_a profession_n be_v that_o visible_a communion_n of_o the_o saint_n which_o they_o have_v with_o christ_n and_o among_o themselves_o 29._o the_o act_n of_o communion_n with_o christ_n be_v those_o visible_a act_n by_o which_o they_o present_v themselves_o to_o god_n in_o christ_n to_o receive_v his_o blessing_n and_o to_o give_v the_o glory_n of_o they_o to_o he_o 30._o the_o act_n of_o communion_n among_o themselves_o be_v all_o those_o act_n by_o which_o they_o study_v to_o do_v good_a each_o to_o other_o but_o especial_o those_o which_o direct_o make_v to_o further_a their_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o christ._n 31._o many_o act_n of_o this_o latter_a kind_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v also_o towards_o those_o who_o as_o yet_o be_v not_o member_n of_o the_o church_n because_o by_o a_o certain_a power_n they_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v to_o belong_v to_o it_o 32._o this_o church_n as_o it_o be_v visible_a in_o itself_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o other_o and_o comparative_o also_o distinguish_v into_o the_o church_n lie_v hide_v and_o manifest_a 33._o that_o which_o be_v manifest_a be_v when_o the_o number_n be_v great_a and_o the_o profession_n more_o free_a and_o more_o public_a 34._o that_o which_o be_v hide_v be_v when_o the_o number_n be_v less_o and_o profession_n less_o open_a which_o be_v wont_a to_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o reason_n of_o heresy_n persecution_n or_o profane_a manner_n abound_v abroad_o 35._o in_o the_o same_o respect_n also_o the_o church_n be_v pure_a and_o impure_a as_o the_o profession_n be_v more_o or_o less_o perfect_a 36._o but_o this_o profession_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o confession_n only_o and_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n but_o also_o upon_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o and_o religious_a obedience_n to_o it_o 37._o but_o although_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a to_o such_o change_n and_o may_v leave_v any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n

sometime_o there_o scarce_o appear_v a_o church_n any_o where_o so_o pure_a that_o one_o may_v fly_v unto_o it_o in_o communion_n of_o the_o same_o worship_n in_o all_o thing_n yet_o the_o church_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n abide_v visible_a in_o that_o very_a impurity_n of_o worship_n and_o profession_n chapter_n xxxii_o of_o the_o church_n institute_v 1._o the_o church_n as_o it_o live_v upon_o earth_n although_o it_o be_v not_o whole_o visible_a together_o yet_o it_o be_v visible_a in_o its_o part_n both_o divide_o in_o the_o several_a member_n and_o joint_o in_o company_n or_o congregation_n 2._o the_o former_a visibility_n be_v by_o man_n personal_a profession_n which_o do_v not_o make_v a_o church_n simple_o visible_a but_o in_o certain_a member_n or_o visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n although_o the_o church_n in_o itself_o or_o in_o its_o integrall_a state_n be_v not_o visible_a in_o the_o same_o place_n act_n 19_o 1._o paul_n come_v to_o ephesus_n where_o he_o find_v certain_a disciple_n 3._o that_o visibility_n which_o be_v in_o distinct_a company_n or_o congregation_n do_v not_o only_o make_v a_o visible_a church_n but_o touch_v the_o outward_a form_n do_v make_v so_o many_o visible_a church_n as_o there_o be_v distinct_a congregation_n revel_v 1._o 4._o the_o seven_o church_n 2_o cor._n 8._o 1._o 19_o the_o church_n of_o macedonia_n all_o the_o church_n 4._o for_o those_o congregation_n be_v as_o it_o be_v similary_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o so_o do_v partake_v both_o of_o the_o name_n and_o nature_n of_o it_o 5._o therefore_o a_o particular_a church_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o common_a nature_n which_o be_v find_v in_o all_o particular_a church_n be_v a_o species_n of_o the_o church_n in_o general_a but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o have_v the_o respect_n of_o a_o whole_a it_o be_v a_o member_n compound_v of_o divers_a several_a member_n gather_v together_o and_o so_o in_o respect_n of_o those_o member_n it_o be_v also_o a_o whole_a 6._o such_o a_o congregation_n or_o particular_a church_n be_v a_o society_n of_o believeres_fw-la join_v together_o by_o a_o special_a band_n among_o themselves_o for_o the_o constant_a exercise_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n among_o themselves_o 7._o it_o be_v a_o society_n of_o believer_n because_o that_o same_o thing_n in_o profession_n do_v make_v a_o church_n visible_a which_o by_o its_o inward_a and_o real_a nature_n do_v make_v a_o mystical_a church_n that_o be_v faith_n 8._o but_o because_o true_a faith_n have_v holiness_n join_v with_o it_o which_o it_o do_v effectual_o work_v act_n 15._o 9_o and_o so_o the_o profession_n of_o true_a faith_n can_v be_v disjoin_v from_o the_o profession_n of_o holiness_n therefore_o the_o church_n be_v promiscuous_o and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n call_v a_o society_n of_o believer_n and_o of_o saint_n eph._n 1._o 1._o to_o the_o saint_n which_o be_v at_o ephesus_n

reason_n of_o this_o faith_n which_o they_o profess_v be_v right_o say_v to_o be_v in_o god_n the_o father_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n 1_o thess._n 1._o 1._o 2_o thess._n 1._o 1._o 10._o it_o be_v also_o very_o probable_a that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o particular_a church_n in_o which_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n flourish_v but_o in_o the_o same_o also_o there_o be_v find_v some_o true_a believer_n 11._o but_o those_o who_o be_v only_a believer_n by_o profession_n so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v in_o that_o society_n be_v member_n of_o that_o church_n as_o also_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n as_o touch_v the_o outward_a state_n not_o touch_v the_o inward_a or_o essential_a state_n 1_o john_n 2._o 19_o they_o go_v out_o from_o we_o but_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o 12._o among_o believer_n there_o be_v to_o be_v account_v as_o member_n of_o the_o church_n the_o child_n of_o those_o believer_n who_o be_v in_o the_o church_n 1_o cor._n 7._o 14._o your_o child_n be_v holy_a for_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o the_o same_o profession_n with_o their_o parent_n 13._o yet_o infant_n be_v not_o so_o perfect_a member_n of_o the_o church_n as_o that_o they_o can_v exercise_v act_n of_o communion_n or_o be_v admit_v to_o partake_v of_o all_o the_o privilege_n thereof_o unless_o there_o do_v first_o appear_v a_o increase_n of_o faith_n but_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v exclude_v from_o those_o privilege_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o begin_n of_o fait_z and_o entrance_n into_o the_o church_n 14._o believer_n do_v not_o make_v a_o particular_a church_n although_o peradventure_o many_o may_v meet_v and_o live_v together_o in_o the_o same_o place_n unless_o they_o be_v join_v together_o by_o a_o special_a bond_n among_o themselves_o for_o so_o some_o one_o church_n shall_v often_o be_v dissolve_v into_o many_o and_o manyal●…o_o shall_v be_v confound_v into_o one_o 15._o this_o bond_n be_v a_o covenant_n either_o express_a or_o implicit_a whereby_o believer_n do_v particular_o bind_v themselves_o to_o perform_v all_o those_o duty_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o one_o towards_o another_o which_o pertain_v to_o the_o respect_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n 16._o hence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o often_o read_v of_o the_o renew_n of_o their_o covenant_n as_o there_o be_v relate_v any_o solemn_a reformation_n of_o the_o church_n 17._o hence_o none_o be_v right_o admit_v into_o the_o church_n but_o by_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o promise_n of_o obedience_n 18._o this_o join_v together_o by_o covenant_n do_v only_o so_o far_o forth_o make_v a_o church_n as_o it_o respect_v the_o exercise_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n for_o the_o same_o believe_a man_n may_v join_v themselves_o in_o covenant_n to_o make_v a_o city_n or_o some_o civil_a society_n as_o they_o do_v immediate_o respect_v a_o common_a civil_a good_a but_o they_o do_v not_o make_v a_o church_n but_o as_o in_o their_o constitution_n they_o respect_v holy_a communion_n with_o god_n among_o themselves_o 19_o hence_o the_o same_o man_n may_v make_v a_o city_n or_o politic_a society_n and_o not_o a_o church_n or_o a_o church_n and_o not_o a_o city_n or_o both_o a_o church_n
