6. Distinguish between Communion of Hearts, Communion of Profession, and Communion in Local presence: We have Heart Communion in one Essential Faith, Hope and Love with all true Christians on Earth. We profess all one Faith in the Essentials: ⟨p. 61⟩We have nearer Communion, or fuller with the Reformed Churches which are soundest in the Integrals, than we have with the more faulty and corrupt. But we have Local presence but in one place at once; and we ought to avoid Local presence where we cannot have it without sin, though we have Communion in Faith, Love and Profession with the same men. If a Reformed Church will not admit our Local presence without subscribing some one untruth, we must be absent, when we may be present with a worse Church which excludeth us not by any such Imposition.

7. Accordingly distinguish of Separation: We separate not at all from Union or Communion with Papists as they are Christians, or as they hold any Truth: But 1. We separate from Subjection and Obedience to them, which we never owed them, or any other Church. 2. We separate from Communion with their Church, as it is a Policy informed by an Usurping Humane King or Head. 3. We separate from all their sins so far as we know them. 4. We deny Local presence in their Mass-worship, because of the sin imposed on us, both before it, and in it. 5. We are uncapable of Communion in all accidents, or mutable indifferent things.

Understand and use well these few plain distinctions, and you need little more to answer all the Papists.
