so_o indeed_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o can_v we_o suppose_v a_o stranger_n from_o one_o of_o the_o other_o planetary_a world_n to_o come_v and_o take_v a_o view_n of_o this_o our_o little_a spot_n and_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o that_o live_v upon_o it_o he_o will_v not_o sure_o think_v this_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v the_o character_n of_o man._n for_o he_o can_v not_o but_o observe_v and_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o remark_n he_o will_v make_v that_o there_o be_v more_o war_n and_o fight_n among_o man_n than_o among_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o creature_n and_o more_o among_o christian_n than_o among_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o men._n for_o at_o the_o very_a first_o open_n of_o the_o scene_n what_o a_o miserable_a face_n of_o thing_n will_v appear_v both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n what_o war_n and_o desolation_n in_o the_o one_o and_o what_o debate_n envy_n 12.20_o wrath_n strife_n backbiting_n whisper_n swell_n and_o tumult_n in_o the_o other_o but_o because_o most_o of_o the_o disturbance_n in_o the_o state_n proceed_v from_o those_o of_o the_o church_n i_o shall_v confine_v my_o reflection_n to_o those_o that_o disturb_v the_o peace_n and_o order_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n where_o i_o shall_v first_o point_v out_o who_o these_o disturber_n be_v and_o second_o set_v some_o such_o consideration_n before_o they_o as_o may_v make_v they_o sensible_a of_o their_o crime_n there_o be_v i_o conceive_v these_o two_o general_a way_n of_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n either_o by_o impose_v unlawful_a or_o unreasonable_a term_n of_o communion_n or_o by_o refuse_v to_o comply_v with_o such_o as_o be_v lawful_a and_o reasonable_a that_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o church_n peace_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n because_o it_o introduce_v a_o necessity_n of_o separation_n and_o that_o the_o latter_a be_v so_o be_v as_o plain_a because_o it_o be_v a_o separation_n without_o any_o necessity_n for_o it_o either_o of_o these_o be_v schism_n who_o notion_n as_o all_o agree_v consist_v either_o in_o make_v a_o necessity_n of_o separation_n or_o in_o separate_n without_o necessity_n the_o first_o of_o these_o will_v fall_v heavy_a upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o as_o it_o have_v be_v sufficient_o make_v good_a against_o she_o have_v bring_v in_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o separation_n by_o impose_v such_o notorious_o unlawful_a and_o unreasonable_a term_n of_o communion_n the_o latter_a will_v light_v upon_o all_o those_o who_o separate_v from_o such_o part_n of_o the_o reformation_n where_o they_o may_v lawful_o communicate_v more_o especial_o it_o will_v light_v heavy_a than_o ordinary_a upon_o all_o those_o sectary_n among_o we_o who_o now_o divide_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o term_n of_o who_o communion_n as_o have_v be_v undeniable_o prove_v and_o maintain_v be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o high_o reasonable_a and_o of_o a_o excellent_a constitution_n i_o need_v not_o here_o nor_o be_v it_o my_o design_n to_o set_v myself_o profess_o to_o make_v out_o the_o charge_n of_o schism_n against_o the_o dissenter_n and_o separatist_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o have_v be_v do_v over_o and_o over_o to_o the_o utmost_a degree_n of_o evidence_n and_o the_o whole_a circle_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n cry_v out_o upon_o they_o for_o their_o unreasonable_a separation_n only_o i_o will_v desire_v they_o to_o try_v themselves_o and_o their_o cause_n by_o that_o one_o plain_a apostolical_a canon_n before_o mention_v and_o see_v whether_o they_o can_v justify_v themselves_o by_o that_o single_a measure_n it_o be_v this_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o you_o 12.18_o live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o man_n if_o with_o all_o man_n then_o certain_o much_o more_o with_o body_n and_o society_n of_o man_n much_o more_o with_o our_o governor_n and_o superior_n much_o more_o yet_o with_o the_o church_n the_o most_o sacred_a and_o most_o eminent_a of_o all_o society_n and_o if_o as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a then_o certain_o as_o far_o as_o be_v lawful_a but_o now_o i_o will_v ask_v our_o dissenter_n and_o separatist_n this_o one_o question_n and_o appeal_v to_o their_o conscience_n as_o well_o as_o to_o their_o practice_n for_o a_o answer_n do_v they_o live_v peaceable_o with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o by_o lawful_a authority_n establish_v as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o i_o may_v say_v be_v i_o mind_v to_o aggravate_v thing_n that_o they_o do_v the_o quite_o contrary_a and_o divide_v from_o we_o as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v it_o be_v very_o notorious_a that_o they_o run_v from_o we_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v measure_v their_o purity_n and_o sanctity_n by_o their_o distance_n from_o we_o and_o condemn_v and_o disuse_n many_o thing_n mere_o because_o we_o approve_v and_o use_v they_o but_o i_o need_v not_o take_v advantage_n of_o this_o though_o it_o be_v too_o notorious_a to_o be_v deny_v as_o well_o as_o too_o scandalous_a to_o be_v defend_v i_o only_o demand_v do_v they_o live_v peaceable_o with_o the_o church_n as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v they_o can_v with_o any_o modesty_n say_v that_o they_o do_v for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o to_o say_v that_o they_o may_v come_v much_o near_a to_o we_o than_o they_o do_v they_o must_v of_o necessity_n conform_v with_o we_o since_o as_o they_o be_v never_o able_a to_o show_v any_o thing_n unlawful_a in_o our_o communion_n so_o they_o now_o general_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a and_o according_o will_n afford_v we_o their_o company_n now_o and_o then_o upon_o occasion_n as_o often_o as_o they_o think_v fit_a to_o do_v we_o that_o honour_n well_o then_o if_o our_o communion_n be_v lawful_a then_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o communicate_v with_o we_o and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o they_o do_v not_o live_v peaceable_o with_o we_o as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v and_o consequent_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o plain_a apostolical_a canon_n stand_v full_o convict_v of_o schism_n and_o let_v they_o
