they_o do_v differ_v in_o their_o judgement_n yet_o if_o they_o can_v keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o the_o gospel_n than_o if_o they_o be_v all_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n you_o know_v the_o turk_n they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n but_o i_o can_v say_v so_o of_o the_o papist_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o chain_n to_o keep_v they_o together_o we_o read_v of_o the_o egyptian_n that_o when_o it_o be_v darkness_n among_o they_o they_o sit_v still_o and_o keep_v close_o together_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v light_n every_o man_n go_v about_o his_o own_o business_n so_o when_o light_n do_v begin_v to_o break_v forth_o and_o there_o be_v liberty_n give_v to_o search_v into_o truth_n we_o can_v imagine_v that_o at_o the_o very_a first_o man_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n except_o they_o will_v give_v up_o their_o conscience_n and_o sacrifice_v their_o reason_n one_o to_o another_o but_o though_o they_o be_v not_o of_o one_o judgement_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v keep_v a_o bless_a unity_n of_o affection_n there_o may_v be_v a_o golden_a girdle_n clapse_v about_o their_o loin_n yea_o and_o of_o practice_n so_o far_o as_o man_n can_v with_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o as_o not_o to_o sin_v against_o conscience_n and_o light_n unity_n of_o affection_n and_o practice_n shall_v be_v endeavour_v to_o the_o utmost_a and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o christian_n thing_n so_o to_o do_v and_o certain_o this_o shall_v be_v study_v and_o endeavour_v by_o we_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o i_o think_v when_o i_o read_v over_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o see_v nothing_o more_o press_v than_o this_o next_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o care_n of_o christian_n and_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o care_n of_o christian_n to_o study_v unity_n and_o peace_n so_o i_o beseech_v you_o that_o small_a difference_n may_v not_o be_v abuse_v and_o heighten_v so_o far_o as_o because_o some_o do_v differ_v from_o other_o that_o therefore_o present_o if_o they_o be_v the_o least_o part_n especial_o all_o the_o odium_fw-la shall_v be_v cast_v upon_o they_o though_o they_o can_v appeal_v to_o god_n that_o they_o do_v endeavour_v to_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o to_o keep_v unity_n so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v without_o sin_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v never_o lay_v the_o sin_n of_o division_n upon_o any_o except_o those_o that_o do_v lay_v it_o upon_o they_o be_v able_a to_o say_v that_o those_o make_v division_n from_o some_o corrupt_a end_n or_o other_o of_o their_o own_o and_o then_o it_o charge_v they_o deep_o as_o that_o place_n be_v most_o famous_a that_o you_o have_v in_o rom._n 16._o 17_o 18_o and_o i_o very_o persuade_v myself_o that_o there_o be_v many_o of_o your_o that_o hear_v this_o text_n very_o much_o abuse_v now_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n mark_v those_o which_o cause_n division_n and_o offence_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o you_o have_v learn_v and_o avoid_v they_o this_o be_v the_o great_a place_n against_o that_o sin_n which_o we_o call_v schism_n for_o schism_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o rend_n asunder_o that_o cause_n division_n schism_n contrary_v to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o you_o have_v learned_a and_o avoid_v they_o now_o you_o know_v the_o sin_n of_o schism_n be_v cast_v by_o the_o popish_a bishop_n heretofore_o upon_o all_o that_o will_v not_o be_v of_o their_o mind_n in_o any_o ceremony_n and_o will-worship_n and_o because_o many_o will_v not_o come_v up_o to_o the_o rail_n and_o submit_v to_o

day_n many_o cry_n out_o of_o other_o if_o so_o be_v they_o can_v swallow_v camel_n with_o they_o if_o so_o be_v they_o differ_v in_o some_o thing_n wherein_o they_o can_v join_v with_o they_o because_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n and_o a_o snare_n to_o they_o they_o present_o say_v they_o be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n and_o faction_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a in_o this_o thing_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o tell_v you_o what_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o schism_n be_v but_o if_o any_o person_n join_v not_o with_o the_o great_a part_n which_o be_v usual_o least_o conscientious_a that_o be_v schism_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n this_o be_v not_o that_o that_o become_v the_o gospel_n present_o to_o judge_v all_o that_o differ_v from_o we_o but_o mark_v the_o next_o word_n and_o there_o the_o apostle_n tell_v what_o schism_n be_v first_o it_o must_v be_v contrary_a to_o sound_v doctrine_n for_o say_v he_o they_o that_o be_v such_o serve_v not_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o their_o own_o belly_n and_o by_o good_a word_n and_o fair_a speech_n deceive_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o simple_a the_o apostle_n can_v take_v it_o upon_o his_o conscience_n by_o see_v the_o behaviour_n of_o these_o man_n that_o the_o cause_n why_o they_o differ_v from_o other_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o tenderness_n of_o conscience_n and_o desire_n to_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o by_o their_o behaviour_n he_o see_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v his_o conscience_n their_o conversation_n give_v their_o profession_n the_o lie_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o avoid_v such_o so_o i_o confess_v if_o man_n can_v take_v it_o upon_o their_o conscience_n as_o they_o will_v answer_v to_o jesus_n christ_n i_o see_v such_o and_o such_o man_n to_o

be_o very_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v no_o willingness_n in_o they_o to_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v to_o serve_v their_o own_o carnal_a end_n and_o purpose_n i_o confess_v if_o we_o can_v take_v this_o upon_o our_o conscience_n as_o we_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o there_o be_v such_o and_o such_o ground_n upon_o which_o we_o believe_v christ_n will_v so_o account_v that_o such_o man_n do_v not_o differ_v through_o their_o tenderness_n but_o from_o their_o own_o carnal_a end_n these_o man_n may_v be_v account_v schismatics_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o schism_n when_o through_o want_n of_o love_n and_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o byend_n man_n shall_v rend_v one_o from_o another_o but_o now_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o think_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v lay_v so_o great_a a_o load_n as_o to_o command_v the_o saint_n to_o avoid_v such_o person_n upon_o man_n who_o conscience_n be_v upright_o with_o god_n sure_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o appeal_v to_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n thou_o that_o know_v all_o thing_n know_v thou_o it_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o my_o soul_n to_o know_v thy_o will_n and_o i_o

lord_n speak_v now_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o this_o point_n concern_v that_o have_v be_v negligent_a in_o the_o point_n of_o their_o conversation_n thou_o be_v the_o man_n or_o

wherein_o there_o be_v more_o loose_a professor_n if_o so_o be_v that_o our_o forefather_n that_o be_v godly_a and_o holy_a and_o keep_v strict_a with_o god_n be_v now_o alive_a again_o they_o will_v spit_v in_o the_o face_n of_o many_o that_o will_v think_v themselves_o eminent_a professor_n of_o religion_n because_o of_o the_o looseness_n of_o their_o conversation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a that_o they_o can_v all_o put_v it_o upon_o christ_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n but_o of_o that_o we_o shall_v speak_v more_o when_o we_o come_v to_o show_v how_o our_o

you_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o wicked_a man_n that_o they_o think_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n in_o follow_v and_o persecute_v such_o and_o such_o man_n so_o forward_o in_o religion_n for_o
