who_o make_v that_o refusal_n other_o groundless_a accusation_n and_o charge_n we_o value_v not_o for_o this_o be_v but_o man_n day_n the_o judgement_n whereof_o we_o neither_o stand_v nor_o fall_v

therefore_o can_v be_v no_o schism_n in_o we_o nor_o what_o may_v in_o any_o way_n render_v we_o unblamable_a the_o lord_n christ_n have_v prescribe_v no_o such_o law_n of_o unity_n and_o peace_n unto_o his_o church_n as_o that_o his_o disciple_n shall_v be_v bind_v constant_o to_o neglect_v any_o know_a duty_n which_o they_o owe_v to_o himself_o for_o their_o sake_n nor_o do_v his_o

unto_o we_o or_o of_o advantage_n to_o the_o church_n its_o self_n wherefore_o that_o compliance_n in_o church_n communion_n which_o will_v be_v obstructive_a of_o any_o necessary_a duty_n be_v not_o by_o the_o lord_n christ_n enjoin_v we_o and_o therefore_o its_o omission_n can_v be_v culpable_a in_o we_o but_o it_o will_v its_o self_n be_v our_o sin_n especial_o will_v it_o be_v thus_o where_o
