The doctrine of instituted churches explained and proved from the word of God

Three things are requisite in order to admission to the Lords Supper; First, Visible Saintship, and that is found in such Persons; all professors walking blamelessly are Visible Saints; the Members of the Jewish Church are often called Saints in the Scripture, who did ⟨image 11⟩give no further evidence of their Saintship, a Profession of the faith joined with a good Conversation, is a sufficient ground for Charity, these are marks that we are directed in the Scripture to Judge of Mens Saintship by; The Apostle did accept of such Persons for Visible Saints, Men that have these Characters, are not visibly wicked, therefore they are Visible Saints; these properties are the proper Fruits of Saintship, and therefore constitute Men Visible Saints; such a profession as being sincere makes a Man a real Saint, being Morally sincere, makes a Man a Visible Saint. That whereby Godly Men do make their Saintship Visible, does make Men Visible Saints, viz. A profession of the truth and a good Conversation.

A second requisite is, that they be not scandalous; a Man that is really and visibly Godly may fall into a scandal, and upon that account be forbidden to participate at the Lords Table, but when their Conversation is good, they cannot be hindered upon that Account.
