A61632	The unreasonableness of separation, or, An impartial account of the history, nature, and pleas of the present separation from the communion of the Church of England to which, several late letters are annexed, of eminent Protestant divines abroad, concerning the nature of our differences, and the way to compose them / by Edward Stillingfleet ...

present_a at_o those_o assembly_n that_o be_v hold_v under_o a_o government_n that_o we_o do_v not_o approve_v and_o that_o that_o will_v be_v to_o approve_v outward_o what_o we_o inward_o condemn_v for_o beside_o that_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o examine_v well_o the_o question_n whether_o these_o opposition_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o a_o conscience_n mistake_v by_o a_o precipitate_a judgement_n since_o that_o the_o best_a man_n be_v often_o subject_a to_o fram_a to_o themselves_o such_o scruple_n as_o be_v not_o altogether_o lawful_a at_o the_o bottom_n further_o than_o this_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o distinguish_v three_o kind_n of_o thing_n the_o one_o those_o which_o the_o conscience_n approve_v and_o admit_v of_o and_o in_o which_o it_o do_v full_o acquiesce_v the_o other_o which_o she_o look_v upon_o as_o intolerable_a and_o destructive_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o true_a faith_n or_o true_a piety_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o other_o last_o which_o be_v between_o these_o that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o as_o we_o do_v not_o full_o approve_v as_o to_o the_o truth_n but_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o mortal_a enemy_n to_o true_a piety_n and_o salvation_n in_o a_o word_n such_o as_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o stain_n and_o tolerable_a infirmity_n i_o affirm_v that_o when_o we_o find_v thing_n of_o this_o second_o rank_n in_o any_o assembly_n or_o those_o which_o the_o conscience_n judge_v such_o we_o can_v be_v present_a there_o and_o the_o whole_a question_n will_v be_v reduce_v to_o this_o to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v not_o mistake_v where_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o make_v a_o rash_a judgement_n but_o to_o imagine_v that_o we_o can_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v present_a at_o assembly_n but_o only_o when_o we_o do_v full_o and_o general_o approve_v of_o all_o thing_n in_o they_o it_o be_v certain_o not_o to_o know_v neither_o the_o use_n of_o charity_n nor_o the_o law_n of_o christian_a society_n this_o principle_n will_v overturn_v all_o church_n for_o i_o can_v tell_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o who_o government_n discipline_n outward_a form_n usage_n and_o practice_n be_v of_o such_o perfection_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o they_o to_o blame_v and_o however_o it_o be_v as_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n be_v very_o different_a this_o will_v be_v to_o open_v the_o gate_n to_o continual_a separation_n and_o to_o abolish_v all_o assembly_n it_o be_v therefore_o certain_a that_o conscience_n do_v not_o oblige_v we_o to_o withdraw_v from_o the_o assembly_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o oblige_v we_o to_o join_v with_o they_o when_o the_o thing_n that_o offend_v we_o be_v tolerable_a and_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o salutary_a efficacy_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n and_o of_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v the_o favour_n of_o this_o charitable_a patience_n that_o justify_v
