your_o answer_n be_v 30._o that_o no_o church_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o forbid_v communion_n with_o any_o church_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o she_o but_o it_o be_v its_o duty_n to_o

with_o our_o church_n be_v a_o schismatical_a conventicle_n and_o such_o you_o observe_v that_o i_o be_o please_v to_o call_v sound_a church_n wherein_o you_o intimate_v that_o no_o church_n which_o

communion_n with_o another_o church_n be_v in_o the_o question_n what_o provision_n do_v your_o answer_n make_v for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o ordinary_a communion_n which_o you_o call_v constant_a with_o the_o national_a church_n but_o than_o you_o have_v admit_v that_o dissenter_n have_v proper_a church-officer_n and_o power_n what_o answer_n will_v you_o make_v to_o what_o follow_v 31._o or_o at_o least_o be_v it_o not_o impossible_a that_o he_o who_o communicate_v sometime_o with_o one_o true_a church_n sometime_o with_o another_o can_v be_v a_o schismatic_a or_o any_o more_o than_o a_o
