ignorance_n yet_o have_v knowledge_n of_o so_o many_o save_a truth_n we_o hope_v in_o time_n god_n will_v reclaim_v you_o from_o your_o error_n well_o then_o 1._o here_o be_v a_o difference_n or_o

in_o these_o consideration_n 1._o there_o may_v be_v and_o often_o be_v difference_n of_o opinion_n about_o lesser_a thing_n in_o the_o church_n partly_o because_o of_o the_o different_a degree_n of_o light_n all_o bark_v that_o sail_n to_o heaven_n draw_v not_o alike_o depth_n of_o water_n and_o partly_o because_o of_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n in_o all_o inordinate_a self-love_n be_v not_o in_o all_o alike_o break_v and_o mortify_v and_o so_o their_o particular_a interest_n have_v a_o influence_n upon_o their_o opinion_n and_o partly_o because_o of_o the_o accidental_a

revile_n and_o reproach_n make_v way_n for_o a_o total_a vastation_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n a_o ruin_n to_o both_o party_n partly_o because_o the_o whole_a be_v scandalize_v john_n 17._o 21._o that_o they_o may_v all_o be_v one_o that_o the_o world_n may_v believe_v that_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o division_n in_o the_o church_n breed_v atheism_n in_o the_o world_n partly_o because_o there_o

the_o world_n and_o partly_o because_o then_o mutual_a mean_n of_o edification_n be_v hinder_v as_o long_o as_o charity_n and_o mutual_a forbearance_n remain_v there_o be_v hope_n of_o do_v good_a

cross_v their_o opinion_n but_o be_v apt_a to_o cavil_v at_o all_o that_o be_v say_v by_o a_o dissenter_n and_o partly_o because_o when_o man_n give_v themselves_o up_o to_o separate_n and_o narrow_a
