preach_v to_o all_o the_o world_n be_v so_o afraid_a of_o distinction_n and_o division_n in_o their_o church_n that_o before_o they_o part_v it_o be_v general_o suppose_a they_o agree_v of_o a_o common_a form_n of_o word_n which_o they_o all_o deliver_v to_o their_o convert_v and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o distinguish_a doctrine_n of_o any_o particular_a church_n but_o the_o common_a badge_n of_o their_o christianity_n and_o be_v i_o suppose_v that_o to_o which_o st._n paul_n refer_v when_o he_o charge_v his_o son_n timothy_n to_o hold_v fast_o the_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n which_o thou_o have_v hear_v of_o i_o 2_o tim._n 1._o 13._o and_o he_o also_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o design_n of_o his_o leave_v he_o at_o ephesus_n be_v that_o thou_o may_v charge_v some_o that_o they_o teach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n 1_o tim._n 1._o 3_o and_o the_o first_o request_n that_o st._n paul_n make_v to_o his_o corinthian_n be_v that_o you_o all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v no_o division_n among_o you_o but_o that_o you_o be_v perfect_o join_v together_o in_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o in_o the_o same_o judgement_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 10._o and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o such_o extraordinary_a concern_v he_o do_v not_o only_o make_v use_n of_o his_o own_o authority_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o adjure_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n when_o they_o will_v oblige_v any_o person_n to_o answer_v true_o as_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v to_o our_o saviour_n mat._n 22._o 63._o so_o how_o the_o apostle_n usher_v in_o his_o request_n with_o the_o same_o solemnity_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thereby_o to_o oblige_v they_o the_o more_o careful_o to_o observe_v what_o he_o say_v from_o which_o you_o may_v guess_v how_o far_o he_o be_v from_o think_v distinguish_a doctrine_n necessary_a that_o he_o will_v not_o tolerate_v they_o and_o if_o unity_n be_v so_o necessary_a among_o christian_n then_o be_v it_o less_o so_o now_o or_o what_o necessity_n be_v there_o of_o be_v so_o uncharitable_a as_o to_o suppose_v all_o the_o church_n erroneous_a in_o their_o creed_n but_o ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v now_o convenient_a for_o particular_a church_n to_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o have_v their_o distinguish_a doctrine_n unless_o they_o will_v be_v oblige_v to_o err_v for_o company_n i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v all_o along_o one_o of_o the_o great_a charge_n against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n their_o make_v such_o large_a addenda_n to_o our_o creed_n and_o make_v the_o belief_n of_o some_o point_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n which_o neither_o our_o saviour_n nor_o his_o apostle_n teach_v and_o that_o church_n abound_v so_o with_o distinguish_a doctrine_n and_o impose_v they_o upon_o other_o for_o catholic_n truth_n have_v former_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o of_o their_o great_a error_n but_o i_o perceive_v sir_n that_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n for_o this_o learned_a author_n tell_v i_o that_o although_o the_o avoid_v distinction_n do_v not_o very_o well_o agree_v with_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n yet_o it_o agree_v admirable_o with_o the_o principle_n of_o popery_n thus_o to_o avoid_v distinction_n which_o have_v its_o number_n to_o boast_v on_o when_o nothing_o else_o can_v be_v say_v but_o if_o their_o unity_n and_o number_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o the_o author_n have_v to_o object_n against_o the_o papist_n i_o can_v as_o soon_o be_v reconcile_v to_o their_o uncharitableness_n as_o he_o for_o heaven_n i_o perceive_v be_v to_o be_v the_o enclosure_n of_o his_o distinguish_a doctrine_n or_o at_o lest_o no_o body_n be_v to_o be_v think_v a_o member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n unless_o they_o hold_v that_o and_o this_o strange_a uncharitableness_n be_v that_o which_o do_v convince_v i_o of_o the_o great_a inconvenience_n of_o distinguish_a doctrine_n for_o general_o speak_v all_o side_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o value_v themselves_o upon_o they_o that_o they_o be_v ready_a with_o the_o man_n in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 65._o 5._o to_o cry_n stand_v by_o thyself_o come_v not_o near_o i_o for_o i_o be_o holy_a than_o thou_o and_o do_v we_o press_v ourselves_o only_o for_o do_v our_o duty_n and_o adhere_v to_o our_o common_a creed_n it_o may_v be_v the_o more_o pardonable_a but_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n judas_n 3_o that_o we_o thus_o earnest_o contend_v for_o for_o a_o man_n may_v hold_v all_o that_o and_o yet_o be_v pronounce_v a_o heretic_n unless_o he_o chance_v to_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o all_o their_o opinion_n which_o be_v now_o to_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o whether_o the_o breach_n of_o charity_n and_o unity_n among_o ourselves_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o build_v we_o up_o in_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n our_o sad_a experience_n will_v i_o doubt_v too_o soon_o show_v but_o however_o sure_o i_o be_o it_o do_v not_o agree_v very_o well_o with_o saint_n jude_n method_n ver_fw-la 21._o who_o bid_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o then_o we_o may_v look_v for_o the_o mercy_n of_o christ_n unto_o eternal_a life_n but_o because_o it_o be_v so_o possible_a to_o deceive_v ourselves_o saint_n john_n have_v give_v we_o a_o infallible_a criterion_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o love_v god_n or_o no_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o 1_o epist_n 4._o 20._o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o love_v god_n and_o hate_v his_o brother_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n for_o he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v therefore_o this_o commandment_n have_v we_o from_o he_o that_o he_o that_o love_v god_n love_v his_o brother_n also_o therefore_o since_o god_n have_v make_v our_o brother_n as_o it_o be_v his_o proxy_n to_o receive_v the_o proof_n of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o our_o saviour_n have_v make_v it_o the_o badge_n of_o our_o discipleship_n by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o it_o be_v very_o unhappy_a that_o those_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o shall_v set_v up_o another_o touchstone_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o sincerity_n and_o think_v to_o approve_v their_o love_n to_o god_n by_o their_o zeal_n against_o their_o brethren_n if_o they_o chance_v to_o dissent_v from_o they_o in_o a_o bare_a opinion_n although_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o say_v by_o their_o faith_n and_o distinguish_a doctrine_n but_o by_o their_o love_n to_o one_o another_o man_n shall_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n or_o no._n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o strange_a if_o no_o church_n be_v fond_a of_o those_o opinion_n that_o will_v engage_v they_o to_o deposit_v their_o charity_n and_o if_o they_o be_v it_o be_v certain_o their_o fail_v not_o their_o excellence_n but_o now_o it_o seem_v i_o be_o to_o beg_v the_o author_n pardon_n for_o think_v that_o the_o distinguish_a doctrine_n of_o such_o a_o church_n have_v be_v that_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o it_o for_o it_o seem_v a_o distinguish_a doctrine_n be_v that_o which_o they_o hold_v in_o common_a with_o other_o church_n which_o true_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v before_o and_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o yet_o the_o appropriate_a of_o it_o to_o one_o look_v as_o if_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o have_v the_o enclosure_n of_o it_o but_o i_o skip_v one_o short_a paragraph_n wherein_o our_o author_n according_a to_o his_o fair_a way_n of_o treat_v the_o person_n of_o quality_n have_v jumble_v two_o text_n together_o which_o be_v cite_v on_o different_a account_n as_o will_v be_v apparent_a to_o any_o body_n that_o consult_v the_o paper_n for_o when_o from_o our_o have_v but_o one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n i_o be_v willing_a to_o infer_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o be_v or_o at_o least_o endeavour_v to_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o have_v be_v such_o a_o error_n as_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o confutation_n but_o now_o he_o ask_v and_o must_v not_o then_o those_o that_o hold_v one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n necessary_o distinguish_v themselves_o from_o all_o that_o hold_v more_o than_o one_o but_o i_o think_v there_o be_v distinction_n enough_o make_v to_o our_o hand_n for_o those_o heretic_n that_o first_o set_v up_o those_o error_n and_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n on_o their_o account_n i_o hope_v be_v distinguishable_a enough_o from_o the_o true_a church_n and_o if_o other_o hold_v two_o god_n or_o first_o principle_n with_o the_o
