the_o god_n to_o who_o vengeance_n belong_v not_o that_o he_o have_v make_v the_o work_n peculiar_a to_o himself_o for_o any_o extraordinary_a pleasure_n he_o take_v in_o it_o but_o because_o he_o

lay_v no_o great_a burden_n upon_o you_o than_o these_o necessary_a thing_n now_o that_o council_n be_v the_o most_o apostolical_a that_o ever_o meet_v this_o must_v be_v the_o most_o authentic_a that_o be_v ever_o make_v and_o so_o the_o pure_a precedent_n if_o not_o perfect_a standard_n for_o sacred_a imposition_n that_o the_o catholic_n church_n can_v show_v or_o go_v by_o upon_o earth_n and_o this_o council_n and_o this_o canon_n lay_v no_o other_o thing_n upon_o christian_n but_o what_o be_v necessary_a hence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o particular_a church_n will_v draw_v the_o first_o and_o best_a example_n into_o practice_n they_o must_v take_v the_o same_o measure_n and_o impose_v only_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n or_o else_o upon_o great_a and_o high_a account_n and_o when_o we_o find_v in_o the_o case_n allege_v that_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n abstinence_n from_o thing_n strangle_v be_v require_v as_o necessary_a to_o further_o the_o association_n of_o judaize_v christian_n with_o believe_a gentile_n from_o hence_o it_o may_v be_v argue_v with_o parity_n of_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a indifferent_a thing_n shall_v not_o be_v impose_v where_o that_o imposition_n may_v hinder_v the_o coalescence_n of_o dissent_v christian_n with_o the_o impose_v church_n yet_o this_o on_o the_o other_o side_n must_v be_v add_v that_o no_o indifferent_a thing_n impose_v nor_o any_o thing_n less_o than_o downright_a sin_n in_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n with_o any_o church_n can_v justify_v our_o separation_n from_o that_o church_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o separation_n where_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o needful_a to_o avoid_v sin_n become_v a_o sin_n in_o itself_o by_o be_v a_o unlawful_a breach_n of_o that_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o god_n have_v so_o positive_o and_o peremptory_o enjoin_v and_o where_o separation_n be_v thus_o sinful_a as_o it_o always_o be_v where_o we_o be_v not_o force_v upon_o it_o to_o shun_v sin_n we_o must_v choose_v to_o submit_v to_o any_o inconvenience_n rather_o than_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v uneasy_a than_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v offend_v much_o better_o for_o we_o to_o be_v incommode_v in_o our_o circumstance_n than_o to_o be_v defile_v in_o our_o conscience_n nor_o may_v we_o leave_v a_o church_n for_o more_o purity_n sake_n in_o who_o communion_n we_o may_v continue_v without_o sin_n for_o beside_o that_o upon_o this_o account_n we_o may_v for_o ever_o separate_a and_o sub-divide_a and_o run_v out_o criminous_a schism_n into_o a_o endless_a process_n or_o multiplication_n we_o must_v be_v grievous_o preposterous_a in_o our_o procedure_n what_o sensible_a man_n will_v attempt_v to_o wash_v his_o hand_n white_a with_o ink_n or_o go_v about_o to_o take_v a_o spot_n from_o off_o his_o face_n by_o plunge_v himself_o over_o head_n and_o
