§. 18. TO your Fourth Argument, I answer. 1. To the Major Proposition (1. To give Testimony) Signifieth either by remote unseen Consequence, to cross Christs Faithfulness: And so do many of the mistakes of you, and every Party; Or it signifies a known denial of Christs Faithfulness. No Christian complieth with this.

2. Complying also is an ambiguous word; if it mean an approbation of any Sin, so no man must comply. If it mean communicating in good, where there is a faulty mixture of some evil, so he that will not comply, must join with no Church, and with no Man living.

So of all Accidents undetermined.
