they_o do_v differ_v in_o their_o judgement_n yet_o if_o they_o can_v keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o the_o

chain_n to_o keep_v they_o together_o we_o read_v of_o the_o egyptian_n that_o when_o it_o be_v darkness_n among_o they_o they_o sit_v still_o and_o keep_v close_o together_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v light_n every_o man_n go_v about_o his_o own_o business_n so_o when_o light_n do_v begin_v to_o break_v forth_o and_o there_o be_v liberty_n give_v to_o search_v into_o truth_n we_o can_v imagine_v that_o at_o the_o very_a first_o man_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n except_o they_o will_v give_v up_o their_o conscience_n and_o sacrifice_v their_o reason_n one_o to_o

unity_n of_o affection_n and_o practice_n shall_v be_v endeavour_v to_o the_o utmost_a and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o christian_n thing_n so_o to_o do_v and_o certain_o this_o shall_v be_v study_v and_o endeavour_v by_o we_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o i_o think_v when_o i_o read_v over_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o see_v nothing_o more_o

of_o division_n upon_o any_o except_o those_o that_o do_v lay_v it_o upon_o they_o be_v able_a to_o say_v that_o those_o make_v division_n from_o some_o corrupt_a end_n or_o other_o of_o their_o own_o

because_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n and_o a_o snare_n to_o they_o they_o present_o say_v they_o be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n and_o faction_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o take_v god_n name_n in_o

the_o next_o word_n and_o there_o the_o apostle_n tell_v what_o schism_n be_v first_o it_o must_v be_v contrary_a to_o sound_v doctrine_n for_o say_v he_o they_o that_o be_v such_o serve_v not_o our_o

if_o we_o can_v take_v this_o upon_o our_o conscience_n as_o we_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o there_o be_v such_o and_o such_o ground_n upon_o which_o we_o believe_v christ_n will_v so_o account_v that_o such_o man_n do_v not_o differ_v through_o their_o tenderness_n but_o from_o their_o own_o carnal_a end_n these_o man_n may_v be_v account_v schismatics_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o schism_n when_o through_o want_n of_o love_n and_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o byend_n man_n shall_v rend_v one_o from_o another_o but_o now_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o think_v that_o

god_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v forgive_v you_o set_v the_o example_n of_o god_n before_o you_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o let_v that_o be_v the_o great_a

therefore_o i_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o they_o nor_o malign_v they_o this_o be_v a_o low_a principle_n but_o if_o i_o find_v that_o this_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o

so_o to_o forgive_v as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v you_o i_o will_v not_o forgive_v only_o in_o this_o particular_a or_o in_o this_o less_o offence_n but_o as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v i_o we_o
