believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n take_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n and_o consequent_o believe_v it_o his_o duty_n to_o refuse_v communion_n with_o no_o party_n of_o christian_n who_o communion_n do_v not_o necessitate_v he_o to_o sin_n and_o no_o communion_n of_o christian_n who_o be_v a_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n within_o the_o say_a description_n give_v by_o the_o say_v 19_o article_n do_v necessitate_v he_o to_o sin_n they_o make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ceremony_n or_o any_o indifferent_a thing_n about_o

any_o particular_a church_n or_o division_n of_o christian_n on_o those_o that_o communicate_v with_o they_o and_o the_o separation_n of_o that_o division_n of_o christian_n by_o such_o ceremony_n or_o indifferent_a thing_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o use_v therefore_o of_o a_o certain_a ceremony_n be_v what_o they_o do_v not_o scruple_n as_o wear_v a_o gown_n or_o surplice_n stand_v at_o the_o creed_n kneel_v or_o stand_v or_o sit_v at_o the_o sacrament_n according_a to_o the_o usage_n of_o that_o party_n of_o christian_n with_o who_o they_o communicate_v again_o they_o do_v scruple_n the_o like_a ceremony_n though_o they_o be_v impose_v by_o the_o government_n on_o any_o national_a church_n or_o party_n of_o christian_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o make_v party_n to_o the_o imposition_n or_o compel_v to_o declare_v their_o approbation_n thereof_o by_o word_n or_o practice_n it_o be_v their_o judgement_n that_o all_o religion_n be_v natural_a or_o reveal_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reveal_v religion_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o nothing_o aught_o to_o be_v impose_v among_o

church_n at_o the_o first_o reformation_n and_o they_o think_v it_o absurd_a to_o talk_v of_o unrevealed_a part_n of_o reveal_v religion_n it_o be_v therefore_o their_o opinion_n that_o if_o any_o party_n of_o christian_n make_v a_o law_n that_o whoever_o communicate_v with_o they_o must_v use_v such_o or_o such_o a_o unscriptural_a posture_n or_o ceremony_n and_o must_v not_o have_v

under_o the_o penalty_n of_o be_v starve_v or_o any_o other_o severe_a penalty_n they_o take_v that_o party_n of_o christian_n to_o be_v such_o as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o 94.21_o psal_n 94.21_o who_o frame_n mischief_n by_o a_o law_n they_o think_v that_o such_o party_n of_o christian_n do_v thereby_o set_v up_o a_o unaccountable_a schism_n in_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o separate_v themselves_o from_o it_o by_o set_v up_o their_o post_n by_o god_n and_o their_o own_o threshold_n by_o he_o and_o their_o make_v a_o wall_n between_o he_o and_o they_o so_o that_o the_o schism_n lie_v at_o their_o door_n and_o not_o at_o they_o who_o in_o contradiction_n to_o such_o a_o law_n continue_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v just_o charge_v with_o the_o great_a schism_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a world_n because_o they_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o catholic_n church_n by_o their_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o notorious_a idolatry_n which_o they_o impose_v as_o term_n of_o communion_n but_o they_o pretend_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o impose_v be_v necessary_a and_o to_o be_v comply_v with_o on_o peril_n of_o damnation_n be_v not_o therefore_o so_o self-condemned_n as_o that_o party_n will_v be_v who_o shall_v by_o such_o a_o law_n concern_v thing_n indifferent_a separate_v themselves_o from_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o occasional_a conformist_n therefore_o by_o his_o communicate_v with_o the_o church_n of_o

not_o with_o a_o party_n he_o communicate_v with_o it_o because_o he_o agree_v with_o it_o in_o all_o the_o essential_o of_o christianity_n though_o he_o approve_v not_o of_o its_o imposition_n and_o his_o communion_n with_o other_o protestant_n be_v communion_n with_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o which_o he_o take_v they_o also_o to_o be_v a_o sound_n part._n by_o the_o first_o he_o declare_v

because_o of_o the_o plain_a tendency_n of_o the_o unscriptural_a term_n of_o communion_n which_o the_o high_a church-party_n will_v establish_v to_o a_o reunion_n with_o popery_n as_o be_v obvious_a to_o any_o person_n who_o shall_v serious_o consider_v they_o and_o for_o satisfaction_n therein_o i_o will_v refer_v you_o to_o avoid_v repetition_n to_o the_o preface_n of_o a_o little_a discourse_n
