love_n with_o all_o true_a christian_n on_o earth_n we_o profess_v all_o one_o faith_n in_o the_o essential_o we_o have_v near_a communion_n or_o full_a with_o the_o reform_a church_n which_o be_v sound_a in_o the_o integral_n than_o we_o have_v with_o the_o more_o faulty_a and_o corrupt_a but_o we_o have_v local_a presence_n but_o in_o one_o place_n at_o once_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o avoid_v local_a presence_n where_o we_o can_v have_v it_o without_o sin_n though_o we_o have_v communion_n in_o faith_n love_n and_o profession_n with_o the_o same_o man_n if_o a_o reform_a church_n will_v

by_o any_o such_o imposition_n 7._o according_o distinguish_v of_o separation_n we_o separate_v not_o at_o all_o from_o union_n or_o communion_n with_o papist_n as_o they_o be_v christian_n or_o as_o they_o hold_v any_o truth_n but_o 1._o we_o separate_v from_o subjection_n and_o obedience_n to_o they_o which_o we_o never_o owe_v they_o or_o any_o other_o church_n 2._o we_o separate_v from_o communion_n with_o their_o church_n as_o it_o be_v a_o policy_n inform_v by_o a_o usurp_a humane_a king_n or_o head._n 3._o we_o separate_v from_o all_o their_o sin_n so_o far_o as_o we_o know_v they_o 4._o we_o deny_v local_a presence_n in_o their_o mass-worship_n because_o of_o the_o sin_n impose_v on_o we_o both_o before_o it_o and_o in_o it_o 5._o we_o be_v uncapable_a of_o communion_n in_o all_o accident_n or_o mutable_a indifferent_a thing_n understand_v and_o use_v well_o these_o few_o plain_a distinction_n and_o you_o need_v little_o more_o to_o answer_v all_o the_o papist_n
