2._____ Saints by profession are bound to maintain an holy fellowship
and communion in the worship of God, and in performing such other
spiritual services as tend to their mutual edification; as also in
relieving each other in outward things according to their several
abilities, and necessities; which communion, according to the rule of
the gospel, though especially to be exercised by them, in the relation
wherein they stand, whether in families, or churches, yet, as God
offereth opportunity, is to be extended to all the household of faith,
even all those who in every place call upon the name of the Lord Jesus;
nevertheless their communion one with another as saints, doth not take
away or infringe the title or propriety which each man hath in his
goods and possessions.
