¹Forasmuch as it is so, it is certain, that God hath bound all men to that ministry, wherefore all they that will be accounted for true Christians, are bound to yield themselves obedient to the same, chiefly in three things. The first is, in hearing the doctrine which is set forth to the Church by the mean of that holy Ministry. The second is, in making confession and profession of the same, by the Communion of the sacraments, which are as dependencies and as the marks of Christians, when they are administered, according to the order after the which they were ordained by the Lord. The third is in submitting him self to the christian discipline, the which the Lord hath ordained for the policy, according to which he will that his church be governed, not after the laws and ⟨p. 33⟩traditions of men, but according to his pure word. The which discipline and policy is so necessary, that without it the ministry of the Church can not be honoured and maintained as is requisite, but that of necessity all must be there in confusion. Wherefore all those that will not be subject to those things, declare them selves to be rebels to god, & to his church, and unworthy to be accounted true members of the same, and true Christians.
