Q What Members ought every particular visible Church to consist of?
A. Christ being head of every particular Church, and it his body, hence none are to be members of the Church, but such as are members of Christ by faith, 1 Cor. 1. 2. 1 Thes. 1.
Q. But do not Hypocrites, and no true Members of Christ creep in?
A. Yes, but if they could have been known to be such, they ought to be kept out, and when they are known, they are orderly to be cast out, Mat. 25. 1. 2 Tim. 3. 5. Rev. 2. 20. Tit. 3. 20.
