SECT. IV.
IV. It is an unquestionable Principle of Truth, that the Church of Christ is in it self a Body, such a Body as hath an Head, whereon it depends, and without which it would immediately be dissolved; a Body without an Head, is but a Carcass, or part of a Carcass; and this Head must be always present with it. An Head distant from the Body, separated from it, not united unto it by such ways and means as are proper unto their Nature, is of no use. See Eph. 4, 15, 16. Col. 2.19.
