the_o rent_n or_o separation_n which_o be_v now_o make_v in_o the_o church_n be_v a_o very_a grievous_a sin_n indeed_o a_o sin_n so_o grievous_a that_o i_o scarce_o know_v whether_o christian_n can_v

be_v no_o sin_n nay_o that_o will_v be_v a_o grievous_a sin_n not_o to_o separate_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o beseech_v you_o to_o lend_v i_o a_o quiet_a and_o favourable_a attention_n while_o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o th●se_o part_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v to_o prove_v to_o you_o that_o the_o separation_n of_o our_o time_n be_v great_a and_o grievous_a sin_n among_o the_o other_o character_n and_o description_n which_o have_v be_v make_v of_o we_o man_n we_o have_v be_v call_v {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o that_o be_v a_o creature_n bear_v and_o make_v and_o create_v for_o society_n towards_o the_o preservation_n and_o maintenance_n whereof_o god_n at_o the_o beginning_n order_v his_o creation_n of_o we_o so_o that_o whereas_o other_o creature_n take_v their_o original_a and_o birth_n from_o a_o diversity_n of_o parent_n he_o make_v we_o man_n to_o spring_v from_o one_o undivided_a single_a pair_n one_o adam_n and_o one_o eve_n be_v the_o two_o join_v parent_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v that_o there_o may_v not_o only_o be_v among_o we_o one_o common_a kindred_n and_o alliance_n but_o that_o we_o may_v hold_v a_o firm_a and_o constant_a league_n and_o friendship_n with_o each_o other_o too_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v we_o see_v that_o without_o any_o other_o teacher_n but_o their_o own_o natural_a instinct_n man_n in_o all_o age_n have_v avoid_v separation_n by_o gather_v themselves_o into_o form_a body_n of_o city_n town_n and_o commonwealth_n neighbourhood_n society_n mutual_a help_n and_o conversation_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a end_n for_o which_o god_n make_v we_o man_n and_o upon_o this_o ground_n it_o have_v be_v dispute_v whether_o a_o hermit_n or_o monastic_a man_n break_v not_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n because_o he_o separate_v himself_o from_o the_o company_n of_o man_n and_o it_o be_v clear_o state_v by_o some_o great_a casuist_n that_o if_o he_o separate_v from_o other_o for_o no_o end_n but_o separation_n if_o he_o retire_v himself_o into_o a_o cave_n or_o wilderness_n or_o desert_n as_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_a hermit_n do_v not_o for_o devotion_n but_o out_o of_o a_o hatred_n or_o distaste_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n in_o that_o particular_a he_o can_v well_o be_v call_v a_o man_n but_o some_o wild_a creature_n make_v to_o dwell_v in_o cave_n desert_n forest_n den_n as_o then_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v require_v we_o to_o preserve_v society_n and_o friendship_n so_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n have_v tie_v and_o weave_v this_o knot_n much_o fast_o we_o be_v all_o of_o kin_n by_o nature_n but_o we_o be_v all_o brethren_n as_o christian_n man_n ally_v to_o one_o another_o by_o one_o common_a hope_n one_o common_a faith_n one_o common_a saviour_n one_o common_a god_n and_o lord_n and_o father_n of_o we_o all_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n when_o one_o christian_n shall_v divide_v or_o forsake_v the_o society_n of_o another_o unless_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o just_a principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o to_o avoid_v a_o sin_n the_o scripture_n call_v it_o not_o bare_o separation_n but_o separation_n which_o be_v schism_n that_o be_v such_o a_o separation_n as_o be_v a_o gospel-sin_n ●_z which_o that_o you_o may_v the_o more_o clear_o understand_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v you_o in_o truth_n what_o be_v schism_n why_o the_o best_a definition_n of_o it_o that_o be_v ever_o yet_o give_v be_v this_o that_o schism_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o separation_n

of_o christian_n from_o some_o part_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o which_o they_o be_v once_o member_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o definition_n a_o visible_a church_n as_o it_o concern_v this_o present_a purpose_n it_o must_v be_v a_o denial_n of_o communion_n with_o that_o congregation_n of_o christian_n with_o who_o they_o be_v once_o unite_v under_o a_o rightly-constituted_a
