IX. Of our Duty and Deportment towards them that are not in Communion with us.
1. WE judge it our duty to bear a Christian Respect to all Christians, according to their several Ranks and Stations, that are not of our Persuasion or Communion.
2. As for such as may be ignorant of the Principles of the Christian Religion, or of vicious conversation, we shall in our respective Places, as they give us opportunity, endeavour to explain to them the Doctrine of Life and Salvation, and to our uttermost persuade them to be reconciled to God.
3. That such who appear to have the Essential Requisites to Church-Communion, we shall willingly receive them in the Lord, not troubling them with Disputes about lesser matters.
As we Assent to the forementioned HEADS of AGREEMENT; So we Unanimously Resolve, as the Lord shall enable us, to Practice according to them.
