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

of_o corinth_n there_o be_v other_o point_n beside_o which_o i_o mention_v not_o but_o certain_o the_o controversy_n be_v not_o so_o clear_a as_o the_o controversy_n against_o papist_n socinian_o

especial_o and_o error_n that_o charge_n can_v be_v deny_v of_o many_o congregationall_a member_n what_o error_n they_o have_v drink_v in_o and_o for_o division_n they_o be_v not_o secret_a thing_n but_o such_o as_o the_o whole_a nation_n know_v insomuch_o that_o i_o have_v hear_v a_o serious_a congregationall_a minister_n and_o a_o able_a man_n say_v when_o he_o have_v hear_v what_o crack_n

reckon_v where_o these_o have_v be_v and_o if_o minister_n do_v not_o let_v their_o member_n take_v their_o own_o course_n even_o what_o they_o will_v and_o drink_v in_o what_o error_n they_o will_v it_o be_v hard_o to_o keep_v a_o church_n from_o rend_v book_n ius_n divi._n p._n 114_o that_o learned_a book_n england_n give_v strong_a proof_n of_o this_o it_o be_v a_o very_a unhappy_a story_n

for_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n as_o pray_v preach_a sacrament_n discipline_n &_o c_o so_o do_v the_o congregational-brethren_n 2._o do_v the_o classical-brethren_n stand_v for_o christ_n

classical-brethren_n hold_v to_o the_o old_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n repentanee_n hold_v up_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n in_o its_o method_n to_o prepare_v before_o faith_n to_o guide_v after_o faith_n so_o do_v the_o congregational-brethren_n such_o as_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o sound_v and_o esteem_v worth_a the_o regard_n 4._o do_v the_o classical-brethren_n hold_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v presbyterial_a so_o do_v the_o congregational-man_n such_o as_o be_v the_o most_o acute_a beside_o what_o mr._n norton_n none_o of_o the_o low_a rank_n have_v assert_v in_o his_o book_n which_o i_o quote_v before_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o say_v that_o if_o the_o congregational-government_n do_v make_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n democratical_a he_o will_v give_v up_o the_o cause_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o but_o among_o the_o weak_a of_o god_n minister_n but_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o prove_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v aristocratical_a i_o enter_v not_o now_o into_o the_o debate_n of_o the_o question_n but_o this_o have_v much_o stick_v with_o i_o first_o there_o be_v government_n in_o the_o
