Of these Seekers there are these Sub-divisions, or Sects. The first and most moderate do only profess themselves to be Seekers for the true Church and Ministry; holding that such a Church and Ministry there is, but they are at a loss to know which is it. A likely thing it is indeed, that men that take themselves for extraordinary wise, should think there is existent such a Church and Ministry as they predicate, and yet have no conjecture which it is. As if they should believe that there is such a creature as the Moon, but be not able to know it from the Stars.

The second sort of Seekers are to seek whether there be any Organized Political Church, or any Ministry, or any Ordinances proper to a Church at all, or not. Not denying them, but Doubting and Seeking; that so when they have found them at Rome, they may prove but Finders, and not gross changelings: And withal they yield that private men may Declare the Word, and pray together, and read the Scripture. The most rational and modest that hath wrote for this way, is the Author of [A sober Word to a Serious People] A likely thing indeed it is, that so rational a man should heartily believe, that Christ hath planted so excellent a Ministry, and Church, and Ordinances as himself describeth, and to those standing necessary uses which he mentioneth, even instead of Christ, to take men into the holy Covenant, and yet that all should be left but for an Age or two, and that ever since there is no such thing, or at least, no certainty of it. The Stile shows us that this Author is no such dotard as to think as he speaks.
