They are not therefore of the Church, whosoever do at length revolt from Christ, and not retain perpetuall communion with Christ and with all the Saints: howsoever they may for a time seeme great & worthy men in the Church, either bearing rule and authoritie in a Christian Commonwealth, or being set over the whole Church. For they are the members of Satan and not of Christ, whosoever have not the Spirit of Christ, but of Antichrist.
