Section 1067
III. We object to the matter or materials of the church of England, which are the whole nation, good and bad
Yea, inasmuch as all the natives of England are members of this church, and are so by birth, they must in their original admission, or becoming members, be all bad; since they are all conceived and born in sin, and great part of them as they grow up are men of vicious lives and conversations; whereas a visible church of Christ ought to consist of faithful men, as the above mentioned Article declares, that is, of true believers in Christ and such were the materials of the first Christian churches; they were made up of such as were called to be saints, sanctified in Christ Jesus, and faithful brethren in him; as were the churches at Rome, Corinth, Ephesus and Colosse: there were churches of saints; but the church of England is a church of the world, or consists for the most part of worldly men; and therefore we cannot hold communion with it.
