The Well-Being of a particular Church of Saints, doth principally consist in three things, viz. Oneness, Order, and Government. That Gospel-Oneness which maketh very much for the Well-Being of a particular Church, is threefold: First, That there be but ONE Church in one City;1 and that all the Congregations of Saints in that City (called Churches) bear but one Name, to wit, the Church of God in that City, as in the Apostles days, Act. 15.4.22. 1 Cor. 1.2.2 That so there may be no Schism, Divisions, nor sinful Separations from the Church of God; but that the whole Church may be perfectly joined together in ONE, As a City that is compact together, Psal. 122.3. as an House or Building fitly framed together, Ephes. 2.21, 22. and as a Body fitly joined ⟨p. 51⟩and compacted by every joint of supply, Eph. 4.16.
