[Hath been Visible.] 1. Not visible to ⟨p. 201⟩man in its Internal faith; but in its external Profession.
2. Not Visible at once to any one man: for no man can see all the Christian world at once: But Visible in its parts, both in Congregations and individual persons.
3. Not Visible in the soundness of its professed faith unto Infidels and Heretics: For they cannot see that faith to be sound, which they take to be fabulous and false: But Visible in the soundness of its professed faith to themselves, that know the soundness of faith.
