Discouered by Christopher Lavvne, Iohn Fovvler, Clement Sanders, Robert Bulvvard. Lately returned from the companie of M.

the_o very_a bitterness_n of_o separation_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o again_o to_o consider_v of_o as_o you_o do_v i_o viz._n whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o visible_a communion_n even_o out_o of_o a_o visible_a church_n these_o reason_n seem_v to_o evince_v it_o 1_o whosoever_o i_o can_v right_o discern_v to_o have_v communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n with_o he_o may_v i_o have_v visible_a communion_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o from_o visible_a descry_v of_o that_o inward_a communion_n do_v necessary_o follow_v external_a communion_n neither_o can_v other_o sufficient_a reason_n be_v give_v why_o we_o shall_v communicate_v with_o visible_a church_n but_o only_o because_o we_o visible_o discern_v that_o they_o have_v communion_n with_o christ_n now_o quatenus_fw-la ipsum_fw-la &_o de_fw-la omni_fw-la convertuntur_fw-la but_o we_o may_v discern_v even_o by_o your_o confession_n of_o some_o out_o of_o a_o visible_a church_n that_o they_o have_v communion_n with_o christ_n ergo_fw-la 2_o that_o which_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v which_o be_v no_o member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n that_o be_v lawful_a for_o other_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o for_o that_o which_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o the_o principal_a be_v none_o in_o the_o accessory_n cateris_fw-la paribus_fw-la and_o it_o can_v be_v simple_o unlawful_a to_o join_v in_o any_o action_n that_o be_v lawful_a quatenus_fw-la talis_fw-la but_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o christian_n convert_v even_o before_o they_o join_v in_o any_o church_n perhaps_o want_v knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a constitution_n perhaps_o opportunity_n to_o worship_v god_n therefore_o 3_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o before_o the_o covenant_n make_v which_o you_o hold_v to_o be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o church_n they_o that_o be_v to_o make_v it_o shall_v join_v together_o in_o prayer_n for_o direction_n assistance_n and_o blessing_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o a_o church_n until_o after_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o necessary_a also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o communion_n out_o of_o a_o visible_a church_n you_o may_v easy_o conceive_v the_o form_n and_o force_v of_o this_o argument_n if_o you_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v a_o church_n in_o desire_n that_o be_v to_o forsake_v your_o position_n for_o desire_n to_o be_v do_v imply_v that_o as_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o a_o velle_fw-la

i_o think_v good_a to_o return_v you_o a_o brief_a answer_n your_o reason_n to_o prove_v visible_a communion_n out_o of_o a_o visible_a church_n follow_v though_o that_o be_v not_o the_o question_n between_o you_o and_o i_o but_o whether_o we_o which_o be_v or_o deem_v ourselves_o to_o be_v of_o a_o visible_a church_n may_v lawful_o communicate_v with_o such_o as_o be_v of_o no_o church_n reason_n 1_o i_o deny_v that_o external_a communion_n do_v necessary_o flow_v from_o the_o discern_a of_o inward_a communion_n with_o christ_n which_o be_v your_o first_o reason_n for_o than_o i_o have_v external_a communion_n with_o the_o angel_n and_o faithful_a depart_v this_o life_n externall_n communion_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o external_a relation_n and_o order_n under_o which_o man_n out_o of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o 2.41,47_o act_n 2.41,47_o the_o order_n set_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v that_o such_o as_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o be_v to_o be_v save_v join_v themselves_o forthwith_o unto_o the_o church_n and_o a_o large_a remnant_n it_o be_v of_o the_o confusion_n which_o antichrist_n have_v bring_v into_o the_o world_n that_o man_n fear_v god_n shall_v remain_v out_o of_o the_o true_a church_n for_o the_o further_a clear_n of_o these_o thing_n if_o a_o innocent_a person_n in_o my_o absence_n be_v excommunicate_v from_o the_o church_n upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o two_o or_o three_o yet_o will_v i_o for_o order_n sake_n and_o so_o be_o bind_v forbear_v communion_n with_o he_o till_o i_o have_v manifest_v his_o innocence_n to_o the_o church_n on_o the_o other_o side_n though_o i_o know_v some_o great_a wickedness_n by_o a_o brother_n which_o he_o deny_v and_o i_o can_v not_o prove_v i_o must_v still_o for_o order_n sake_n keep_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o the_o church_n till_o god_n discover_v he_o it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o in_o case_n i_o be_o both_o to_o forbear_v communion_n with_o a_o godly_a man_n till_o we_o be_v orderly_o join_v together_o and_o to_o keep_v communion_n with_o a_o wicked_a man_n till_o we_o be_v orderly_a dis-joined_n add_v unto_o these_o thing_n that_o upon_o this_o ground_n i_o may_v also_o lawful_o admit_v one_o out_o of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o the_o choice_n of_o officer_n censure_v of_o offender_n and_o all_o other_o exercise_n of_o external_a communion_n if_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n i_o deem_v he_o holy_a in_o his_o person_n and_o how_o can_v i_o deny_v he_o one_o part_n of_o external_a communion_n to_o who_o i_o afford_v a_o other_o but_o i_o make_v a_o schism_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o this_o also_o may_v serve_v for_o answer_v to_o the_o latter_a part_n
