4. If Christ Consent to it, and we Consent to it, then we are ⟨p. 125⟩all (that are sincere in their profession) of the true Catholic Church and Religion (for if he consent and we consent, who is there that is able to break the match?) But Christ consenteth, and we consent: as we prove by parts. 1. His consent is expressed in his Gospel, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life; and whoever will, may drink of the water of life freely. 2. And our consent we openly professed at Baptism, and have frequently renewed, and our own souls are acquainted with the sincerity of it, whatever any that know not our hearts may say against it.

5. All that are truly Baptized, and own their Baptismal Covenant, are visible members of the true Catholic Church: (For it is the very nature and use of Baptism to enter us into that Church:) But Greeks, Abassines, Georgians, Armenians, &c. and Protestants, are all truly Baptized, and own their Baptismal Covenant: therefore we are all of the true Catholic Church.
