A36253	Separation of churches from episcopal government, as practised by the present non-conformists, proved schismatical from such principles as are least controverted and do withal most popularly explain the sinfulness and mischief of schism ... by Henry Dodwell ...

to_o the_o original_a design_n so_o that_o as_o to_o other_o they_o conceive_v neither_o the_o promise_n to_o have_v be_v design_v for_o they_o on_o performance_n of_o condition_n nor_o yet_o that_o

of_o christ_n to_o have_v be_v design_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o i_o confess_v if_o we_o understand_v the_o church_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o our_o brethren_n ordinary_o do_v when_o

to_o escape_v it_o will_v but_o add_v to_o they_o the_o trouble_n of_o their_o present_a fear_n over_o and_o above_o the_o future_a mischief_n of_o it_o when_o it_o shall_v befall_v they_o §_o xvii_o our_o plain_a meaning_n therefore_o be_v that_o we_o believe_v god_n design_n to_o have_v be_v unfeigned_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o mankind_n as_o well_o those_o who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o

way_n so_o as_o that_o the_o person_n may_v have_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o without_o the_o church_n nay_o not_o within_o it_o without_o universal_a and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o design_n to_o person_n without_o the_o church_n be_v to_o promise_v salvation_n and_o a_o gracious_a acceptance_n of_o them·_n on_o condition_n of_o their_o incorporate_n themselves_o into_o it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o give_v that_o grace_n which_o if_o not_o resist_v by_o their_o own_o free_a will_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o invite_v they_o into_o it_o so_o also_o the_o present_a effect_n even_o on_o vicious_a liver_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v actual_o save_v whilst_o they_o continue_v so_o but_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o be_v in_o covenant_n they_o can_v challenge_v acceptance_n upon_o repentance_n and_o plead_v promise_n upon_o performance_n of_o condition_n and_o can_v have_v a_o free_a and_o open_a access_n to_o the_o ordinary_a channel_n of_o grace_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o perform_v condition_n none_o of_o which_o can_v agree_v to_o person_n without_o the_o church_n who_o can_v as_o yet_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v any_o actual_a interest_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o upon_o these_o supposal_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o conceive_v how_o not_o only_o the_o actual_a

voluntary_a non-performance_n of_o condition_n on_o the_o creature_n part_n and_o it_o hence_o appear_v that_o such_o a_o confinement_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o the_o church_n be_v very_o
