abomination_n thus_o in_o these_o two_o thing_n you_o see_v our_o separation_n lawful_a ii_o now_o second_o i_o assert_v this_o separation_n to_o be_v so_o lawful_a that_o the_o romanist_n themselves_o can_v just_o charge_v it_o as_o schismatical_a i_o say_v just_o though_o stapleton_n sanders_n bellarmine_n and_o other_o romanist_n brand_v our_o separation_n from_o they_o with_o the_o odious_a name_n of_o donatism_n and_o schism_n because_o it_o be_v evident_a out_o of_o st._n augustine_n that_o as_o the_o donatist_n never_o object_v any_o thing_n against_o nor_o can_v blame_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n from_o which_o they_o separate_v either_o for_o faith_n or_o worship_n so_o they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v just_o blamo_fw-la we_o for_o depart_v from_o

to_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o a_o horrid_a reflection_n on_o the_o deity_n the_o old_a roman_n as_o varro_n tell_v we_o have_v no_o image_n for_o a_o hundred_o and_o seventy_o year_n in_o their_o
