to_o inquire_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o schism_n impartial_o and_o into_o the_o way_n whereby_o man_n may_v become_v schismatic_n in_o order_n to_o the_o clear_v such_o as_o be_v innocent_a from_o

within_o as_o short_a a_o compass_n as_o convenient_o may_v be_v i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v 1._o what_o schism_n be_v and_o how_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n may_v become_v guilty_a of_o it_o 2._o i_o shall_v speak_v something_o also_o of_o the_o sinfulness_n and_o inconvenience_n of_o it_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o may_v avoid_v it_o 1._o let_v we_o consider_v what_o schism_n be_v and_o how_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n may_v become_v guilty_a of_o it_o as_o for_o the_o word_n schism_n it_o signify_v proper_o the_o cut_n or_o cleave_v of_o a_o solid_a

schism_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o unity_n in_o any_o society_n whatsoever_o but_o common_a use_n and_o custom_n have_v apply_v it_o only_o to_o that_o which_o divide_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o not_o the_o bare_a separation_n but_o give_v the_o cause_n of_o separation_n make_v the_o schism_n wheresoever_o a_o schism_n be_v each_o party_n be_v divide_v or_o separate_v from_o the_o

both_o of_o they_o be_v in_o fault_n neither_o do_v its_o part_n towards_o the_o maintain_n of_o agreement_n so_o far_o as_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v preservation_n of_o unity_n in_o order_n to_o one_o common_a end_n now_o as_o many_o way_n as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n to_o profess_v themselves_o unite_v one_o with_o another_o with_o relation_n to_o matter_n concern_v they_o as_o they_o be_v the_o church_n and_o congregation_n of_o christian_a people_n so_o many_o there_o be_v also_o for_o one_o or_o more_o member_n to_o become_v schismatical_a by_o break_v off_o that_o union_n in_o outward_a profession_n which_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_a on_o they_o i_o speak_v of_o union_n which_o relate_v to_o matter_n concern_v they_o as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n whence_o not_o every_o passionate_a heat_n not_o every_o quarrel_n not_o every_o suit_n of_o law_n not_o every_o war_n not_o every_o faction_n or_o sedition_n among_o the_o people_n do_v make_v a_o schism_n i_o speak_v also_o of_o union_n in_o outward_a profession_n for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o internal_a union_n and_o communion_n of_o all_o god_n faithful_a people_n in_o regard_n they_o have_v the_o same_o faith_n and_o the_o same_o hope_n and_o do_v practice_n the_o same_o christian_a virtue_n and_o in_o default_n of_o these_o or_o any_o one_o of_o these_o a_o man_n in_o some_o sort_n cut_v himself_o off_o from_o those_o faithful_a people_n and_o from_o the_o portion_n which_o do_v belong_v to_o they_o and_o so_o the_o secret_a infidel_n and_o the_o secret_a sinner_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v separate_v now_o for_o they_o be_v none_o of_o christ_n and_o shall_v hear_v that_o sentence_n in_o the_o separation_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a man_n hereafter_o depart_v from_o i_o for_o i_o know_v you_o not_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n not_o peculiar_o belong_v to_o schism_n but_o common_a to_o it_o with_o every_o other_o sin_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o sense_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o consider_v it_o but_o only_o as_o it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o external_a communion_n and_o separation_n as_o to_o outward_a profession_n although_o this_o may_v be_v commit_v as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o sin_n in_o the_o mind_n also_o by_o a_o man_n intend_v or_o purpose_v to_o leave_v the_o outward_a communion_n of_o the_o church_n when_o perhaps_o he_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o actual_o do_v it_o now_o as_o the_o outward_a unity_n or_o communion_n of_o every_o society_n appear_v in_o the_o apt_a order_n of_o the_o member_n one_o with_o another_o and_o demeanour_n one_o towards_o another_o according_a to_o their_o respective_a state_n and_o condition_n as_o in_o one_o house_n one_o city_n one_o kingdom_n so_o do_v the_o
