§11. P. 9. [God (saith he) hath not made any Covenant in particular with the Church of Geneva, France or England, &c.
A. 1. God hath made one General Law, for Christians congregating with their fixed Elders or Bishops in particular Churches all the World over: And his Command is not without Promise of being with them to the End of the World; and that Promise becometh a Promise to every Church so congregate. God hath not made distinct Laws or Promise to every Christian: But the Promise to Justify all Believers justifieth each single Person when he believeth. If the King should make one common Law to command all his Subjects that are Freeholders to live in Corporations or Hundreds, described with their privileges, those privileges would be all theirs that are so incorporated: As one Charter may Privilege every London Company, diversified by subordinate Agreements.
