apply_v this_o term_n unto_o be_v the_o brownist_n as_o they_o call_v they_o by_o another_o name_n and_o they_o know_v their_o tenant_n the_o truth_n be_v they_o differ_v with_o we_o in_o no_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o save_v truth_n i_o know_v here_o then_o my_o lord_n be_v 〈◊〉_d to_o say_v that_o all_o that_o he_o have_v hitherto_o say_v be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v he_o the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n that_o it_o can_v argue_v he_o to_o be_v any_o at_o all_o for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v to_o god_n it_o be_v so_o but_o let_v we_o examine_v whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o not_o first_o then_o this_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v certain_a that_o he_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o will_v not_o communicate_v in_o public_a prayer_n with_o a_o national_a church_n which_o serve_v god_n as_o she_o ought_v be_v a_o separatist_n but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o stand_v establish_v by_o law_n serve_v god_n as_o she_o ought_v therefore_o my_o lord_n by_o his_o general_n absent_v himself_o from_o her_o communion_n in_o prayer_n be_v a_o separatist_n and_o this_o be_v by_o his_o own_o confession_n for_o he_o say_v a_o little_a before_o and_o that_o express_o that_o this_o be_v a_o separation_n which_o every_o man_n must_v make_v that_o will_v keep_v himself_o pure_a from_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o i_o can_v doubt_v but_o his_o lordship_n have_v make_v that_o which_o he_o say_v he_o must_v make_v all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v for_o my_o lord_n herein_o be_v this_o first_o that_o my_o lord_n charge_v the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o corruption_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o such_o corruption_n as_o he_o must_v separate_a from_o she_o but_o be_v it_o sufficient_a for_o a_o separation_n for_o a_o particular_a man_n bare_o to_o say_v there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o the_o liturgy_n when_o he_o do_v neither_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v such_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o name_v they_o what_o they_o be_v sure_o no._n and_o i_o think_v these_o gnat_n which_o his_o lordship_n strain_v at_o may_v be_v swallow_v without_o any_o offence_n to_o god_n or_o man._n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o be_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o separation_n therefore_o for_o all_o this_o my_o lord_n be_v a_o separatist_n yea_o but_o my_o lord_n charge_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o she_o enjoin_v her_o liturgy_n upon_o all_o man_n by_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o man_n usurp_v authority_n to_o themselves_o and_o impose_v this_o injunction_n under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n i_o have_v make_v answer_n already_o to_o this_o power_n of_o the_o church_n to_o compose_v a_o set_a form_n for_o public_a service_n and_o i_o hope_v make_v it_o manifest_v that_o this_o authority_n be_v not_o usurp_v and_o then_o that_o can_v be_v no_o just_a cause_n of_o a_o separation_n nay_o i_o must_v doubt_v whether_o if_o such_o authority_n be_v usurp_v by_o some_o churchman_n in_o any_o national_a church_n the_o enjoin_v of_o the_o service_n after_o it_o be_v make_v suppose_v always_o that_o it_o contain_v no_o idolatry_n or_o fundamental_a error_n be_v for_o the_o injunction_n alone_o a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o my_o lord_n or_o any_o other_o to_o separate_a therefore_o my_o lord_n be_v forsake_v the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o no_o better_a ground_n than_o these_o make_v he_o a_o separatist_n by_o his_o own_o confession_n without_o any_o man_n call_v he_o so_o as_o for_o his_o lordship_n be_v the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n i_o have_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o tract_n clear_o relate_v to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o my_o memory_n what_o and_o upon_o what_o occasion_n i_o speak_v of_o his_o lordship_n in_o this_o kind_n but_o whether_o i_o say_v it_o or_o not_o my_o lord_n for_o aught_o i_o see_v will_v hardly_o escape_v be_v so_o for_o he_o be_v the_o great_a separatist_n from_o the_o church_n that_o absent_v himself_o with_o most_o will_n and_o least_o cause_n and_o this_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o be_v my_o lord_n case_n for_o he_o separate_v with_o most_o will_n that_o say_v man_n must_v and_o aught_o to_o separate_a and_o upon_o least_o cause_n because_o as_o yet_o he_o have_v name_v none_o at_o all_o but_o corruption_n in_o general_a which_o any_o man_n may_v say_v and_o the_o injunction_n of_o a_o set_a form_n which_o be_v no_o cause_n therefore_o for_o aught_o i_o yet_o see_v it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v of_o his_o lordship_n that_o he_o be_v the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n especial_o if_o you_o add_v to_o this_o how_o busy_a and_o active_a his_o lordship_n be_v and_o for_o many_o year_n have_v be_v to_o promote_v this_o cause_n of_o separation_n and_o i_o have_v some_o very_a good_a ground_n to_o think_v that_o his_o lordship_n have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o great_a cause_n and_o enlarge_a of_o all_o the_o separation_n that_o now_o be_v in_o church_n affair_n and_o of_o all_o the_o disobedience_n thereby_o breed_v or_o

the_o foundation_n of_o religion_n still_o remain_v firm_a and_o unmoved_a nay_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v it_o most_o necessary_a that_o thus_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o therefore_o this_o
