part_n 2._o the_o propensity_n of_o many_o of_o their_o principle_n wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o the_o presbyterian_o to_o separation_n and_o to_o the_o worst_a of_o schism_n i_o shall_v instance_n in_o some_o particular_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o catholic_a visible_a church_n no_o church_n visible_a but_o a_o particular_a congregation_n which_o be_v to_o deny_v all_o communion_n of_o church_n and_o to_o grant_v only_a communion_n of_o member_n yea_o some_o grant_v scarce_o so_o much_o witness_v the_o reverend_a author_n of_o the_o survey_n of_o church-discipline_n who_o say_v express_o 65._o suru._n par_fw-fr 2._o pag._n 64_o 65._o he_o have_v profess_v the_o course_n of_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o those_o of_o another_o congregation_n to_o be_v unwarrantable_a because_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o ministerial_a act_n and_o what_o authority_n have_v he_o the_o pastor_n to_o do_v it_o or_o they_o to_o receive_v it_o from_o he_o to_o who_o he_o be_v no_o pastor_n this_o must_v needs_o open_v a_o door_n to_o as_o many_o division_n as_o there_o be_v church_n none_o have_v any_o power_n beyond_o their_o own_o church_n whereby_o all_o religion_n all_o heresy_n may_v be_v tolerate_v and_o none_o can_v hinder_v it_o 2._o that_o all_o church-power_n the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v independent_o and_o sole_o in_o a_o particular_a congregation_n which_o be_v the_o set_n up_o of_o church_n against_o church_n and_o that_o admission_n and_o ejection_n of_o member_n be_v only_o into_o and_o from_o a_o

excommunicate_v be_v cast_v out_o only_o of_o his_o particular_a church_n because_o the_o power_n extend_v no_o further_a than_o to_o a_o particular_a congregation_n 3._o that_o a_o church_n essential_a or_o a_o congregation_n of_o believer_n without_o officer_n may_v choose_v and_o ordain_v she_o own_o officer_n which_o will_v be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o break_v they_o into_o separate_a assembly_n one_o part_n choose_v one_o another_o another_o 4._o that_o a_o minister_n be_v a_o minister_n to_o none_o but_o his_o own_o congregation_n which_o tend_v to_o destroy_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o communion_n which_o the_o church_n of_o god_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v one_o with_o another_o 5._o gather_v of_o church_n out_o of_o true_a church_n which_o give_v way_n to_o every_o man_n to_o separate_v from_o his_o own_o and_o to_o join_v himself_o with_o another_o church_n suppose_v pure_a with_o contempt_n of_o the_o former_a congregation_n the_o reverend_a m._n hooker_n confess_v book_n praef._n to_o his_o survey_n p._n 11._o &_o in_o his_o book_n that_o the_o faithful_a congregation_n in_o england_n be_v true_a church_n and_o
