4. Let it be seriously weighed, That some sinful mixtures are not a sufficient cause of separation from a Church. Hath not God his Church, even where corruption of Manners hath crept into a Church, if purity of Doctrine be maintained? And is separation from that Church lawful, from which God doth not separate? Did the Apostle, because of the sinful mixtures in the Church of Corinth, direct the Faithful to separate? Must not he who will forbear Communion with a Church, till it be altogether freed from mixtures, tarry till the day of Judgement? till when, we have no promise, that Christ will gather out of his Church whatsoever doth offend. |
