present_a world_n for_o without_o these_o heavenly_a and_o divine_a qualification_n of_o mind_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v permit_v to_o behold_v the_o pure_a and_o glorious_a face_n of_o god_n and_o if_o we_o be_v it_o will_v confound_v we_o and_o make_v we_o miserable_a let_v then_o evil_a ruler_n connive_v at_o those_o vice_n which_o do_v not_o seem_v so_o direct_o to_o hazard_v and_o

they_o shall_v find_v every_o wilful_a sin_n to_o have_v malignity_n enough_o in_o its_o nature_n to_o ruin_v they_o for_o the_o great_a god_n do_v behold_v all_o their_o lewdness_n and_o villainy_n he_o cause_v they_o all_o to_o be_v record_v against_o the_o day_n of_o account_n and_o they_o will_v sink_v away_o with_o extremiry_n of_o despair_n when_o oppress_v with_o such_o a_o vast_a burden_n

that_o they_o be_v all_o level_v at_o this_o single_a mark_n to_o make_v man_n holy_a that_o be_v to_o confer_v the_o great_a benefit_n upon_o they_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o receive_v for_o this_o

and_o all_o the_o curse_n and_o punishment_n do_v light_a upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o sinner_n and_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o our_o religion_n be_v enact_v and_o publish_v not_o to_o

you_o be_v baptise_a and_o bring_v up_o a_o church_n who_o faith_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o scripture_n and_o who_o worship_n of_o all_o other_o come_v near_a to_o the_o pattern_n leave_v we_o by_o the_o primitive_a christian_n a_o church_n the_o free_a from_o error_n in_o what_o it_o teach_v and_o from_o superstition_n in_o what_o it_o practice_n of_o any_o perhaps_o in_o the_o world_n which_o as_o it_o have_v reform_v itself_o from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v so_o destructive_a of_o a_o good_a life_n so_o it_o have_v only_o retain_v a_o very_a few_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o order_n and_o decency_n and_o reverence_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o upon_o which_o it_o do_v not_o lay_v so_o great_a weight_n and_o

due_o weigh_v thing_n it_o must_v appear_v very_o dangerous_a to_o leave_v the_o communion_n of_o a_o church_n so_o excellent_o constitute_v if_o you_o reflect_v either_o upon_o the_o grievous_a mischief_n of_o separation_n or_o upon_o the_o great_a obligation_n christ_n have_v lay_v upon_o we_o to_o preserve_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o hardly_o any_o thing_n do_v occasion_n more_o bitterness_n and_o heat_n than_o a_o unwarrantable_a departure_n from_o a_o church_n which_o impose_v nothing_o sinful_a as_o a_o term_n of_o communion_n for_o separatist_n to_o justify_v their_o departure_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o charge_v great_a fault_n how_o little_a soever_o deserve_v upon_o the_o society_n they_o have_v leave_v and_o so_o of_o course_n grow_v more_o sour_a and_o censorious_a whereby_o animosity_n will_v increase_v and_o the_o breach_n will_v be_v continual_o widen_v by_o fresh_a provocation_n thus_o by_o these_o needless_a division_n the_o charity_n and_o good_a will_n which_o our_o bless_a master_n so_o strict_o require_v and_o of_o which_o he_o be_v so_o glorious_a a_o example_n do_v waist_n and_o consume_v away_o and_o christian_n thus_o unjustifiable_o split_v into_o party_n instead_o of_o mutual_o support_v one_o another_o against_o the_o common_a enemy_n which_o do_v thirst_n after_o their_o destruction_n do_v bite_v tear_n and_o devour_v each_o other_o and_o hereby_o the_o band_n of_o love_n which_o shall_v hold_v we_o together_o be_v break_v and_o the_o several_a member_n of_o that_o body_n whereof_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n be_v disjoint_v and_o become_v useless_a to_o the_o holy_a and_o merciful_a purpose_n for_o which_o he_o do_v unite_v they_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o divers_a of_o those_o who_o have_v forsake_v our_o church_n and_o which_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o prove_v to_o have_v enjoin_v any_o thing_n unlawful_a under_o pretence_n of_o great_a edification_n and_o of_o join_v in_o a_o pure_a communion_n have_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n have_v other_o separate_v from_o they_o and_o these_o again_o have_v leave_v other_o till_o at_o length_n they_o have_v be_v of_o no_o communion_n at_o all_o and_o so_o with_o their_o church_n have_v at_o last_o also_o lose_v their_o religion_n and_o yet_o nothing_o be_v of_o more_o necessity_n than_o that_o the_o unity_n of_o this_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o church_n shall_v be_v preserve_v entire_a this_o the_o christian_n be_v frequent_o exhort_v and_o strict_o command_v to_o keep_v

paul_n beseech_v the_o roman_n to_o set_v a_o mark_n upon_o they_o who_o cause_n division_n and_o offence_n contrary_a to_o the_o 7._o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v learn_v and_o to_o avoid_v
