shame_n what!_o will_v you_o have_v we_o think_v you_o be_v against_o division_n when_o you_o divide_v from_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o scripture_n from_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n and_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n can_v you_o for_o shame_n say_v that_o you_o be_v for_o unity_n and_o agreement_n when_o you_o be_v divide_v from_o we_o and_o will_v not_o agree_v with_o we_o unless_o we_o will_v be_v as_o mad_a as_o you_o and_o damn_v our_o soul_n for_o company_n with_o you_o to_o hear_v these_o ungodly_a man_n talk_v against_o sect_n and_o division_n in_o the_o church_n be_v as_o if_o we_o hear_v a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o leprosy_n cry_v out_o against_o those_o that_o have_v the_o itch_n or_o a_o murderer_n child_n another_o for_o foul_a word_n 3._o and_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o while_o you_o remain_v ungodly_a you_o be_v the_o great_a heretic_n and_o separatist_n that_o trouble_v the_o church_n of_o god_n more_o than_o abundance_n of_o those_o that_o you_o reproach_n i_o excuse_v not_o the_o least_o but_o none_o of_o they_o be_v like_o you_o as_o death_n be_v worse_a than_o sickness_n as_o be_v that_o which_o all_o

can_v do_v to_o make_v a_o man_n ungodly_a there_o be_v no_o such_o separatist_n in_o the_o world_n as_o you_o it_o be_v not_o only_o from_o a_o particular_a church_n or_o ordinance_n that_o you_o separate_v but_o as_o i_o say_v even_o now_o you_o separate_v from_o god_n that_o make_v you_o from_o christ_n that_o buy_v you_o from_o the_o spirit_n that_o shall_v sanctify_v you_o from_o the_o

they_o can_v have_v your_o help_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o time_n and_o place_n you_o live_v in_o they_o can_v have_v your_o company_n in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n but_o when_o they_o go_v one_o way_n you_o go_v another_o way_n you_o be_v the_o great_a troubl●rs_n of_o the_o world_n and_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o church_n and_o state_n and_o of_o all_o that_o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o you_o trouble_v magistrate_n and_o make_v work_n for_o lawyer_n you_o trouble_v minister_n and_o frustrate_v their_o labour_n and_o make_v their_o life_n grievous_a to_o they_o when_o it_o be_v much_o in_o your_o hand_n to_o make_v they_o joyous_a you_o trouble_v all_o the_o godly_a that_o be_v about_o you_o and_o you_o will_v find_v at_o last_o that_o you_o have_v most_o of_o all_o trouble_a your_o own_o soul_n for_o shame_v therefore_o before_o you_o speak_v any_o more_o against_o sect_n and_o separatist_n or_o any_o other_o troubler_n of_o the_o church_n give_v over_o the_o ungodly_a separation_n which_o you_o continue_v in_o and_o come_v in_o to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n yourselves_o and_o live_v in_o that_o communion_n of_o saint_n which_o you_o say_v you_o

not_o to_o the_o like_a if_o you_o shall_v you_o will_v be_v as_o unexcusable_a as_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n because_o you_o have_v try_v and_o taste_v so_o much_o of_o the_o sweetness_n
