35 And then wheresoever there shall be a people fit, and men furnished with meet and necessary gifts, they are not only still to continue the exercise of Prophecy aforesaid, but also upon due trial to *proceed unto choice and ordination of Officers for the ministry and service of the Church, according to the rule of Gods word: And so hold on ‡still to walk forward in the ways of Christ for their mutual edification and comfort, as it shall please God to give knowledge and gra•e thereunto. And particularly, that such as be of the †seed, or under the government of any of the Church, be even in their infancy received to Baptism, and made partakers of the sign of Gods covenant made with the Faithful and their seed throughout all generations. And that all ″of the Church that are of years, and able to examine themselves, do communicate also in the Lords supper▪ both men and women, and in *both kinds, bread and wine. In which ‡elements, as also in the water of baptism, even after they are consecrate, there is neither transubstantiation into, nor consubstantiation with the body and blood of Jesus Christ: whom the heavens must contain, until the time that all things be restored. But they are †in the ordinance of God signs and seals of Gods everlasting covenant with us representing and offering *to all the receivers, but exhibiting only to the true believers the Lord Jesus Christ and all his benefits unto righteousness, sanctification, and eternal life, through faith in his name to the glory and praise of God.
