part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v christ_n body_n make_v up_o only_o of_o sound_a member_n be_v all_o that_o be_v unsound_a divide_v from_o the_o body_n but_o if_o a_o true_a member_n be_v of_o the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o be_v sound_a do_v not_o you_o by_o refuse_v to_o communicate_v with_o any_o true_a member_n upon_o your_o own_o principle_n refuse_v to_o be_v of_o the_o body_n especial_o when_o the_o only_a unsoundness_n be_v that_o it_o differ_v by_o reason_n of_o some_o accidental_n from_o that_o church_n where_o you_o exercise_v the_o act_n of_o catholic_n communion_n and_o it_o may_v be_v well_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o own_o that_o there_o be_v any_o sound_a church_n beside_o the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o which_o you_o can_v communicate_v how_o much_o soever_o you_o talk_v of_o catholic_n communion_n or_o at_o least_o whether_o you_o be_v not_o schismatical_a in_o divide_v from_o some_o true_a church_n 139._o and_o may_v not_o you_o be_v charge_v with_o deny_v the_o very_a notion_n of_o a_o catholic_n church_n and_o assert_v that_o christ_n have_v not_o one_o but_o twenty_o or_o a_o hundred_o several_a body_n but_o whereas_o you_o affirm_v that_o he_o who_o divide_v from_o one_o sound_a part_n divide_v from_o all_o be_v it_o not_o rather_o demonstrable_a that_o he_o who_o communicate_v with_o one_o sound_a part_n or_o one_o true_a part_n communicate_v with_o all_o as_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n body_n as_o he_o that_o touch_v a_o man_n finger_n touch_v his_o body_n but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o one_o can_v touch_v his_o body_n unless_o he_o touch_v his_o finger_n but_o since_o you_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o this_o notion_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o turn_v your_o own_o artillery_n upon_o you_o and_o if_o you_o have_v condemn_v yourself_o or_o the_o church_n in_o which_o you_o live_v of_o schism_n and_o divide_v from_o christ_n body_n you_o may_v thank_v yourself_o if_o it_o follow_v from_o the_o identity_n of_o christ_n body_n that_o whoever_o be_v divide_v from_o any_o sound_a member_n be_v divide_v from_o the_o whole_a be_v that_o member_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n so_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v if_o you_o divide_v from_o any_o true_a member_n unless_o a_o true_a member_n be_v no_o member_n and_o you_o yourself_o be_v sensible_a of_o this_o have_v teach_v that_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o gather_v a_o church_n out_o of_o a_o christian_a church_n 22._o and_o divide_v neighbour-christians_a into_o distinct_a communion_n nay_o you_o leave_v yourself_o no_o possible_a evasion_n when_o you_o affirm_v that_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o can_v give_v we_o in_o particular_a a_o right_n to_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n 10._o be_v that_o we_o observe_v the_o condition_n of_o this_o covenant_n 16._o and_o live_v in_o unity_n and_o communion_n with_o all_o true_a christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n if_o therefore_o there_o be_v any_o true_a christian_a church_n with_o which_o you_o refuse_v to_o communicate_v have_v you_o not_o make_v a_o good_a rod_n for_o your_o own_o back_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n 10._o as_o you_o own_o be_v a_o true_a though_o a_o corrupt_a church_n but_o you_o i_o suppose_v refuse_v to_o communicate_v with_o this_o true_a church_n be_v you_o not_o therefore_o cut_v off_o from_o christ_n body_n you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o you_o can_v communicate_v but_o upon_o sinful_a term_n 50._o but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o purpose_n if_o this_o be_v still_o a_o true_a church_n and_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n you_o know_v christ_n have_v but_o one_o body_n one_o spouse_n one_o flock_n one_o church_n and_o if_o we_o be_v no_o member_n of_o this_o one_o church_n we_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o christ_n the_o part_n of_o this_o body_n must_v be_v unite_v to_o each_o other_o that_o they_o may_v be_v unite_v to_o christ_n else_o it_o will_v be_v as_o if_o the_o part_n of_o the_o natural_a body_n shall_v

the_o body_n which_o be_v next_o you_o have_v foreclose_v yourself_o from_o say_v that_o you_o be_v unite_v in_o what_o be_v essential_a to_o its_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o have_v a_o participation_n of_o the_o same_o vital_a heat_n and_o animal_n spirit_n but_o think_v it_o hard_o that_o one_o member_n shall_v be_v charge_v with_o the_o putrid_a sore_n or_o wound_n of_o another_o and_o to_o speak_v plain_o that_o you_o forsake_v it_o only_o in_o its_o uncatholick_a term_n this_o will_v come_v too_o nigh_o that_o very_a fanaticism_n which_o you_o deride_v and_o you_o

the_o lutheran_n church_n 725._o if_o it_o do_v not_o require_v of_o you_o the_o belief_n of_o consubstantiation_n yet_o certain_o you_o do_v not_o attend_v to_o your_o own_o ground_n when_o you_o

if_o the_o governor_n of_o that_o church_n which_o you_o be_v of_o do_v condemn_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o other_o or_o of_o any_o part_n of_o it_o you_o say_v indeed_o 396._o that_o our_o

then_o as_o a_o bishop_n in_o the_o same_o communion_n with_o we_o might_n with_o the_o leave_n of_o english_a bishop_n exercise_v his_o episcopal_a office_n in_o any_o church_n in_o england_n so_o

against_o the_o imposition_n of_o any_o thing_n inconsistent_a with_o one_o communion_n 40._o or_o the_o great_a law_n of_o catholic_n communion_n and_o when_o you_o confess_v that_o the_o

into_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n without_o the_o bishop_n authority_n but_o to_o word_n this_o matter_n according_a to_o your_o hypothesis_n 52._o though_o conformity_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o be_v obedience_n to_o the_o church-governor_n the_o bishop_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n yet_o it_o be_v for_o all_o that_o live_v

it_o in_o which_o he_o live_v now_o it_o be_v odds_o but_o it_o may_v be_v as_o evident_a upon_o this_o your_o whole_a design_n that_o every_o particular_a church_n be_v bind_v to_o receive_v every_o
