Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
If the catholic visible church is made of all those who profess the true religion and their children (i.e., there is no mention of a constituted government), how, precisely, are particular churches--which includes the ministry, the oracles, and the ordinances, i.e., a government, along with professors and their children--members of the catholic visible church? Is it just shorthand language for saying that the catholic visible church can be found within particular churches (though of course, is not limited to being found within them), or is there another way in which the particular church is a part of the catholic visible church?
