christian_n friend_n when_o i_o late_o hear_v a_o good_a christian_n of_o your_o nation_n say_v that_o the_o sad_a disagreement_n among_o you_o have_v not_o proceed_v at_o least_o in_o his_o observation_n unto_o any_o actual_a separation_n of_o the_o member_n from_o the_o respective_a settle_a congregation_n unto_o which_o they_o belong_v nor_o from_o communicate_v together_o in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n it_o much_o rejoice_v my_o heart_n because_o we_o of_o england_n do_v know_v by_o woeful_a experience_n that_o separation_n from_o a_o true_a reform_a or_o reform_a church_n be_v the_o van_n of_o such_o a_o company_n of_o abomination_n as_o have_v allow_v blasphemy_n for_o their_o rear_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o this_o short_a history_n which_o i_o have_v publish_v partly_o for_o your_o sake_n that_o so_o you_o may_v see_v what_o poisonous_a weed_n they_o be_v with_o which_o the_o garden_n of_o the_o church_n in_o england_n be_v overrun_v by_o its_o lie_v common_a without_o a_o hedge_n to_o the_o apparent_a danger_n of_o religion_n and_o may_v be_v provoke_v both_o to_o pity_v and_o pray_v for_o we_o and_o to_o look_v to_o your_o own_o church_n by_o

find_v my_o author_n prolix_a yet_o without_o wrong_v they_o in_o the_o least_o for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o those_o people_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o their_o writing_n and_o not_o only_o

34._o where_o they_o in_o stead_n of_o scripture_n say_v the_o letter_n i_o render_v it_o scripture_n because_o thereby_o they_o mean_v the_o scripture_n as_o themselves_o acknowledge_v farnworth_n

or_o thou_o to_o expect_v that_o i_o shall_v take_v any_o public_a notice_n thereof_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o they_o do_v disclaim_v both_o scripture_n and_o argumentation_n as_o judge_n to_o try_v any_o thing_n in_o debate_n between_o they_o and_o their_o adversary_n their_o own_o fancy_n and_o will_v which_o they_o miscall_v the_o infallible_a spirit_n of_o god_n shall_v determine_v all_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o strive_v to_o convince_v they_o of_o any_o thing_n contrary_a thereunto_o 2._o because_o when_o they_o do_v pretend_v to_o answer_v they_o do_v so_o equivocate_v and_o prevaricate_v that_o such_o answer_n be_v little_o better_o than_o their_o more_o plain_a one_o to_o wit_n thou_o lie_v even_o just_a as_o one_o answer_v
