A85314	Separation examined: or, a treatise vvherein the grounds for separation from the ministry and churches of England are weighed, and found too light. The practise proved to be not onely unwarrantable, but likewise so hurtful to the churches, that church-reformation cannot with any comfort go forward, so long as such separation is tolerated. Also an humble request presented to the congregational divines, that since the differences between them and the classical-divines are very small they would please to strike in with the classical-divines in carrying on the worke of reformation, before the inundation of these corrupt opinions, have destroyed both ordinances and religion. / By Gi. Firmin minister to the church in Shalford in essex.	Firmin, Giles, 1614-1697.	1652 (1652)	Wing F964; Thomason E656_12; ESTC R206624	107,263	123

church_n exceed_o this_o only_a say_v he_o i_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o general_a humiliation_n among_o the_o minister_n for_o their_o yield_v so_o much_o to_o the_o superstitious_a invention_n of_o that_o hierarchy_n 2_o i_o conceive_v god_n may_v just_o have_v a_o quarrel_n against_o we_o the_o young_a sort_n of_o minister_n for_o our_o woeful_a conformity_n to_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o time_n what_o long_a hair_n now_o do_v we_o see_v most_o young_a minister_n wear_v and_o if_o any_o new_a fond_a fashion_n come_v up_o who_o follow_v it_o soon_o than_o they_o who_o take_v more_o liberty_n here_o then_o independent_a minister_n the_o young_a sort_n 3_o there_o have_v be_v a_o too_o great_a idolize_v of_o learning_n and_o abuse_v it_o in_o sermon_n by_o recite_v of_o the_o father_n or_o schoolman_n some_o man_n fond_o make_v it_o may_v be_v a_o quarter_n of_o their_o sermon_n to_o be_v latin_a or_o greek_a sentence_n out_o of_o they_o and_o then_o turn_v they_o into_o english_a to_o make_v people_n admire_v they_o and_o conclude_v they_o to_o be_v great_a scholar_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o quote_v a_o father_n or_o a_o schoolman_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o excess_n and_o pride_n also_o that_o go_v along_o with_o it_o that_o they_o think_v themselves_o so_o exalt_v above_o the_o people_n and_o look_v on_o they_o as_o the_o pharisee_n joh._n 7.49_o hence_o god_n do_v now_o let_v minister_n and_o learning_n be_v trample_v upon_o but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o fault_n of_o those_o godly_a man_n who_o now_o be_v despise_v as_o much_o as_o the_o worst_a 4_o there_o be_v in_o some_o young_a minister_n a_o too_o base_a esteem_n of_o private_a christian_n that_o be_v not_o learned_a i_o have_v hear_v myself_o those_o who_o have_v speak_v very_o contemptible_o of_o they_o scorn_v they_o shall_v have_v any_o hand_n in_o church_n affair_n now_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v abundance_n of_o private_a christian_n very_o weak_a but_o some_o there_o be_v solid_a understand_v man_n and_o though_o we_o do_v not_o admit_v these_o to_o be_v governor_n in_o the_o church_n unless_o choose_v to_o the_o office_n of_o a_o rule_v elder_a to_o join_v with_o we_o yet_o minister_n shall_v find_v sometime_o that_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o repent_v in_o give_v a_o ear_n to_o what_o they_o say_v these_o thing_n i_o have_v observe_v and_o wish_v especial_o for_o the_o three_o latter_a that_o god_n have_v not_o bring_v we_o down_o for_o they_o i_o may_v have_v add_v some_o young_a minister_n study_v more_o quintessentiall_a notion_n curious_a fancy_n and_o please_v people_n much_o with_o fine_a speculation_n about_o christ_n and_o free_a grace_n but_o have_v leave_v the_o old_a way_n of_o preach_v which_o do_v the_o good_a this_o chemical_a divinity_n have_v please_v man_n ear_n but_o not_o awe_v nor_o humble_v man_n heart_n it_o make_v frothy_a but_o not_o solid_a christian_n but_o these_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o all_o the_o presbyterian_o who_o be_v thus_o scorn_v but_o now_o to_o the_o minister_n the_o general_a apprehension_n that_o these_o man_n have_v of_o the_o minister_n be_v that_o they_o be_v anti-christian_n minister_n and_o what_o be_v more_o common_a in_o their_o mouth_n then_o to_o call_v they_o so_o this_o be_v a_o heavy_a charge_n if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v but_o this_o term_n anti-christian_n be_v both_o a_o simple_a term_n a_o complexe_n proposition_n a_o syllogism_n i._n e._n they_o think_v it_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o charge_v they_o with_o it_o though_o hundred_o of_o these_o know_v no_o more_o than_o a_o babe_n wherein_o the_o formality_n of_o antichristianism_a do_v consist_v but_o every_o thing_n that_o displease_v they_o that_o be_v antichristian_a infant_n baptism_n be_v anti-christian_n the_o ordination_n of_o minister_n be_v anti-christian_n sing_v of_o psalm_n be_v anti-christian_n it_o be_v proof_n sufficient_a they_o have_v say_v it_o now_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o strange_a that_o those_o man_n who_o instrumental_o 1._o convert_v man_n to_o christ_n 2._o build_v up_o man_n in_o christ_n 3._o oppose_v

yet_o these_o man_n to_o be_v call_v anti-christians_a i_o say_v with_o the_o text_n the_o lord_n rebuke_v thou_o o_o satan_n but_o if_o you_o will_v take_v anti-christ_n in_o a_o large_a sense_n why_o may_v not_o those_o be_v as_o true_o call_v anti-christians_a who_o do_v throw_v down_o what_o ordinance_n christ_n have_v set_v up_o as_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o ministry_n give_v his_o

all_o these_o be_v throw_v down_o by_o most_o of_o you_o and_o many_o walk_n above_o ordinance_n i_o say_v may_v not_o these_o be_v call_v as_o true_o anti-christians_a in_o a_o large_a sense_n who_o thus_o throw_v down_o what_o christ_n have_v set_v up_o as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o set_v up_o such_o ordinance_n as_o christ_n never_o do_v set_v up_o which_o be_v one_o sign_n of_o

another_o head_n i_o need_v not_o add_v the_o own_n of_o the_o pope_n as_o a_o visible_a monarchical_a head_n over_o the_o church_n who_o do_v all_o that_o which_o mr._n burrough_n have_v mention_v but_o this_o than_o i_o desire_v that_o any_o who_o thus_o call_v the_o minister_n antichristian_a will_v charge_v they_o and_o make_v it_o good_a that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n or_o else_o be_v ashamed_a for_o ever_o after_o to_o call_v faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n antichristian_n but_o what_o colour_n have_v these_o man_n for_o this_o vile_a aspersion_n i_o never_o hear_v but_o only_o this_o their_o ordination_n the_o sum_n of_o all_o they_o say_v amount_v to_o this_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n stand_v by_o a_o romish_a ordination_n ergo_fw-la they_o be_v no_o true_a gospel_n but_o antichristian_a minister_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o heavy_a stir_n in_o england_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o may_v say_v as_o the_o father_n of_o the_o blind_a man_n he_o be_v of_o age_n and_o can_v speak_v for_o himself_o so_o the_o presbyterial_a minister_n be_v of_o ability_n sufficient_a to_o speak_v and_o have_v speak_v enough_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o cavil_n to_o satisfy_v sober_a mind_n but_o what_o will_v satisfy_v unreasonable_a man_n i_o be_o not_o very_o willing_a to_o insist_v upon_o this_o because_o i_o can_v speak_v but_o little_a which_o have_v not_o be_v speak_v before_o for_o the_o substance_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o ingredient_n unto_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o a_o minister_n which_o i_o have_v mention_v before_o and_o promise_v to_o prove_v that_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o ordinance_n our_o minister_n have_v it_o i_o must_v speak_v a_o few_o word_n in_o answer_n to_o their_o cavil_n against_o it_o the_o ordination_n of_o these_o minister_n say_v they_o come_v from_o the_o romish_a synagogue_n they_o also_o be_v ordain_v by_o bishop_n ergo_fw-la they_o be_v no_o true_a
