R. B. Before I end I shall be bold to put two or three Questions to you out of your last Letter. Quest. 1. Whether the circumcised servants of Israel sold away to another nation, and so separated from the Civil state of Israel, did eo nomine cease to be Church-members, though they forsook not God?

Mr. T. — None was of right of the Jewish Church who was not of the Common-wealth.
