A Church, a Minister, or a Christian may be stiff in an error (being mispersuaded it is a truth) after many means long used to convince them, with whom yet we must hold communion in the ordinances of Religion: and the error may be such as we cannot without hypocrisy or denial of the truth hold communion, though such means of conviction have not gone before.
