But can you commit your Soul to their Ministry, and join with ⟨p. 120⟩them in Prayer; and yet not count them meet for other Gospel privileges? I would know by what Scripture you do it? Perhaps you will say I commit not my Soul to their Ministry, only hear them occasionally for trial. If this be all the respect thou hast for them and their Ministry, thou mayest have as much for the worst that pisseth against the Wall. But if thou canst hear them as Gods Ministers. and sit under their Ministry as Gods ordinance; then show me where God hath such a Gospel Ministry, as that the persons Ministering, may not though desiring it, be admitted with you to the closest communion of Saints. But if thou sitest under their Ministry for fleshly politic ends; thou hearest the word like an Atheist, and art thy self, while thou judgest thy Brother, in the practise of the worst of men. But I say, where do you find this ⟨p. 121⟩piecemeal communion with men that profess Faith and Holiness as you, and separation from the World.
