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.
Q. Are these Members bound only to cleave to Christ their head by Faith?
A. Yes, and to one another also by brotherly love, which they are bound to strengthen and confirm (as well as their faith) by a solemn Covenant, Eph. 4. 15, 16. Col. 1. 4. Jer. 50. 4. Isa. 56. 45. Zach. 11. 14.
