schism_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o unity_n in_o any_o society_n whatsoever_o but_o common_a use_n and_o custom_n have_v apply_v it_o only_o to_o that_o which_o divide_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n

break_v off_o that_o union_n in_o outward_a profession_n which_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_a on_o they_o i_o speak_v of_o union_n which_o relate_v to_o matter_n concern_v they_o as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n whence_o not_o every_o passionate_a heat_n not_o every_o quarrel_n not_o every_o suit_n of_o law_n not_o every_o war_n not_o every_o faction_n or_o sedition_n among_o the_o people_n do_v make_v a_o schism_n i_o speak_v also_o of_o union_n in_o outward_a profession_n for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o internal_a union_n and_o communion_n of_o all_o god_n faithful_a people_n in_o regard_n they_o have_v the_o same_o faith_n and_o the_o same_o hope_n and_o do_v practice_n the_o same_o christian_a virtue_n and_o in_o default_n of_o these_o or_o any_o one_o of_o these_o a_o man_n in_o some_o sort_n cut_v himself_o off_o from_o those_o faithful_a people_n and_o from_o the_o portion_n which_o do_v belong_v to_o they_o and_o so_o the_o secret_a infidel_n and_o the_o secret_a sinner_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v separate_v now_o for_o they_o be_v none_o of_o christ_n and_o shall_v hear_v that_o sentence_n in_o the_o separation_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a man_n

therefore_o in_o that_o sense_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o consider_v it_o but_o only_o as_o it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o external_a communion_n and_o separation_n as_o to_o outward_a profession_n although_o this_o may_v be_v commit_v as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o sin_n in_o the_o mind_n also_o by_o a_o man_n intend_v or_o purpose_v to_o leave_v the_o outward_a communion_n of_o the_o church_n
