A70371	The present separation self-condemned and proved to be schism as it is exemplified in a sermon preached upon that subject / by Mr. W.

in_o his_o advice_n to_o the_o rest_n say_v of_o it_o that_o public_a hear_n without_o personal_a conference_n seldom_o bring_v man_n to_o understand_v well_o what_o you_o say_v sacrileg_n disert_fw-la pag._n 93._o and_o therefore_o that_o you_o conceive_v not_o how_o st._n paul_n woe_n or_o their_o ordination_n do_v oblige_v they_o to_o flock_v up_o to_o the_o capital_a city_n or_o to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o the_o chief_a town_n and_o to_o draw_v great_a number_n together_o no_o more_o than_o it_o do_v before_o bartholomew_n in_o 62_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o course_n but_o sir_n i_o will_v only_o ask_v you_o whether_o you_o think_v it_o not_o better_a to_o preach_v to_o many_o than_o to_o few_o and_o in_o public_a than_o in_o corner_n and_o in_o town_n than_o village_n and_o in_o london_n than_o the_o country_n in_o village_n people_n will_v jog_v on_o in_o their_o old_a way_n they_o have_v neither_o much_o curiosity_n nor_o leisure_n or_o whatever_o be_v there_o teach_v or_o learn_v spread_v no_o further_a but_o you_o know_v teach_v london_n and_o you_o teach_v the_o whole_a nation_n thence_o the_o light_n before_o the_o war_n shine_v forth_o into_o

that_o those_o who_o now_o support_v they_o in_o point_n of_o livelihood_n in_o the_o way_n they_o be_v in_o will_v do_v the_o same_o in_o the_o other_o way_n as_o that_o author_n conjecture_n nay_o

they_o to_o live_v and_o eat_v as_o other_o folk_n methinks_v your_o own_o experience_n shall_v open_v your_o eye_n and_o let_v you_o see_v what_o difference_n be_v make_v betwixt_o he_o that_o
