2ly. Christ holds Communion with his people in Babylon, Apoc. 18.4. how were they made, and kept his people else? must we therefore hold Communion with Babylon?
3ly. Christ holds Communion with his people in the Lutheran Churches, I doubt not; but if they impose upon you the Doctrine of the Ubiquity of Christs Humane Nature as a condition of Communion, will you hold Communion with them?
9ly. Persecution joined to Imposition upon the members of Christs ⟨p. 86⟩body, what Christ never imposed, renders the sin of the Imposing-Church much greater; and refusing Communion with such a Persecuting Imposing Church is no Schism. If Christ doth give us leave to flee from one Persecuting City to another, where there is no Persecution, then if a City be a Persecuting City, by reason of a Persecuting Church, surely he doth not bind us to hold Communion with that Persecuting Church.
