§. 43. The condemning of some such humane Creeds, Articles, Forms, Covenants, promises or ⟨p. 198⟩oaths, though unjustly, is no just cause of such excommunication; because all men being known to be fallible, a good Christian may mistake another mans (or many mens) words: And the misunderstanding of a man (or many men) may stand with Christianity, piety and salvation.

§. 44. It is not all that maketh a man uncapable of local Communion with this or that particular Church which unchristeneth him, or maketh him uncapable of continuing in the Church-universal, as shall be after proved.

§. 45. Nay a man may be a Christian in the Universal Church, who is a member of no particular Church, as is before showed: As 1. some newly Baptized, as the Eunuch, Act. 8. 2. Some Christians that live among Infidels, where is no Pastor or Church: As if one were now Converted in any Heathen Land, or cast there after; or called as an Ambassador or Merchant to live there. 3. Some poor vagrant persons that have no dwelling; as Pedlars, Tinkers, and such others that go from place to place: and some others.
