Can. Stay. Sect. 3. Pag. 19.
Ought we not to believe, that as God had commanded us to worship Him, that is, to hear his Word, receive the Sacraments and to use other His Ordinances: so He hath also called and separated unto himself a Church, a Communion of Saints, and holy ones, in and amongst whom these holy things are to be used, and that we are to look in what fellowship we receive the holy things of God, as what the things are we do receive. In a word, ought we not to be persuaded, that as the legal Sacrifices out of the Tabernacle or Temple, within whose circle they were prescribed by the mouth of God, were unlawfully offered: so all the Ordinances and exercises of the Church under the Gospel done out of a true constituted Church are altogether and every way sinful.1

In a word, ought we not to be perswaded, that as the legall Sacrifices out of the Tabernacle or Temple, within whose circle they were prescribed by the mouth of God, were unlawfully offered: so all the Ordinances and exercises of the Church under the Gospell done out of a true constituted Church are altogether and every way sinfull.1
