A85314	Separation examined: or, a treatise vvherein the grounds for separation from the ministry and churches of England are weighed, and found too light. The practise proved to be not onely unwarrantable, but likewise so hurtful to the churches, that church-reformation cannot with any comfort go forward, so long as such separation is tolerated. Also an humble request presented to the congregational divines, that since the differences between them and the classical-divines are very small they would please to strike in with the classical-divines in carrying on the worke of reformation, before the inundation of these corrupt opinions, have destroyed both ordinances and religion. / By Gi. Firmin minister to the church in Shalford in essex.	Firmin, Giles, 1614-1697.	1652 (1652)	Wing F964; Thomason E656_12; ESTC R206624	107,263	123

to_o their_o own_o conception_n against_o the_o language_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o speak_v one_o to_o another_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a

never_o wont_a to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o church_n but_o only_o these_o which_o paul_n mention_n in_o both_o place_n not_o add_v any_o portion_n of_o scripture_n more_o in_o the_o epist_n to_o the_o

if_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v make_v out_o of_o what_o the_o objector_n say_v it_o may_v possible_o be_v this_o that_o paul_n will_v have_v they_o teach_v one_o another_o the_o sense_n and_o scope_n of_o a_o psalm_n that_o all_o may_v understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o psalm_n they_o sing_v as_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o minister_n if_o they_o be_v to_o sing_v a_o psalm_n that_o be_v
