The Saints are called Sheep, Branches, &c. 'The meaning of all this is, (saith Dr. Preston) They are like such and such things: But yet it is the manner of the Scripture-Speech,1 and therefore (saith he) it is not necessary that those Words should be taken in a proper Sense, as they are by the Papists.
