that_o many_o that_o separate_v secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la or_o pro_fw-la tempore_fw-la from_o some_o part_n of_o worship_n only_o and_o for_o a_o season_n yet_o separate_v not_o simple_o from_o the_o

because_o you_o never_o go_v to_o one_o of_o their_o meeting_n in_o their_o house_n or_o other_o place_n why_o then_o shall_v you_o call_v they_o separatist_n only_o for_o not_o come_v to_o you_o 2._o but_o if_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o separation_n for_o hold_v either_o that_o your_o church_n and_o ministry_n be_v null_a or_o that_o communion_n with_o you_o be_v unlawful_a by_o god_n law_n
