5. Distinguish between Communion in Christianity, and that in Essentials, Integrals or Accidents; and Communion in errors and corruptions, or defects. We have Communion with Papists and all Christians in Christianity, (if they be Christians indeed:) But we renounce Communion in the errors and sins of them and all others, as far as we are able to avoid them. All Christians have Union and Communion in the Essentials of Christianity: No Christians have Union and Communion in all the Integrals (on Earth) all being imperfect: But the more such Union and Communion, the better. No Christians have, or ought to have Communion in all the Accidents. All should avoid Communion in sin.
