Of Independants and Missionaries.
The Independants and those called Missionaries, are no new party, but an old one revived Every congregation formeth a particular Church hath no higher Court than its own members and every member has a right to speak. They say that faith, human or vine, implies nothing more but simply believing ——— but the difference between divine and human faith, doth not consist in its nature, but in the object of it. That the Lord's supper ought to be taken every first day of the week* — They view it as a thanksgiving, and so bless not the bread, but bless God of Christ; as represented in that ordinance to true believers only.
∗Acts xx. 7.
