thousand_o use_v 2._o hence_o there_o arise_v just_a ground_n of_o humiliation_n before_o the_o lord_n this_o day_n in_o that_o this_o error_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o overspr_v these_o dominion_n and_o over_o this_o island_n particular_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o my_o discourse_n that_o this_o be_v the_o achan_n the_o pest_n of_o our_o land_n and_o that_o i_o will_v clear_v that_o unto_o you_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o do_v but_o with_o much_o brevity_n that_o so_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v the_o more_o deep_o humble_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o abomination_n of_o this_o sin_n of_o separate_n from_o the_o church_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n will_v appear_v in_o these_o four_o particular_n 1_o separation_n be_v the_o most_o fruitful_a sin_n of_o many_o other_o it_o be_v a_o very_a comprehensive_a evil_n the_o womb_n out_o of_o which_o issue_v many_o prodigious_a monster_n if_o i_o shall_v begin_v to_o show_v its_o rise_n and_o growth_n it_o may_v be_v it_o will_v prove_v offensive_a to_o some_o here_o present_a and_o it_o will_v be_v beside_o my_o purpose_n observe_v therefore_o only_o be_v of_o spring_n hence_o arise_v many_o of_o the_o heresy_n and_o abomination_n that_o be_v how_o among_o we_o we_o be_v pester_v with_o anabaptist_n seeker_n quaker_n and_o the_o like_a sort_n of_o viper_n but_o they_o all_o begin_v in_o separation_n man_n first_o run_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o they_o may_v be_v of_o any_o religion_n they_o please_v our_o late_a experience_n do_v abundant_o confirm_v this_o and_o how_o indeed_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o when_o man_n forsake_v the_o true_a church_n what_o hinder_v but_o they_o may_v erect_v any_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v devise_v the_o fruitfulness_n of_o it_o make_v it_o the_o foul_a sin_n 2_o separation_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o many_o of_o god_n own_o people_n as_o we_o do_v conceive_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n be_v smut_v and_o taint_v with_o and_o the_o sin_n of_o god_n child_n be_v aggravate_v by_o many_o more_o circumstance_n than_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o man_n be_v israel_n have_v sin_v be_v that_o which_o god_n affirm_v to_o joshua_n as_o a_o great_a ground_n of_o humiliation_n chap._n 7._o 11._o the_o child_n of_o god_n sin_n against_o great_a outward_a light_n and_o mean_n of_o grace_n than_o other_o do_v they_o sin_n against_o the_o inward_a light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o sin_n against_o great_a mercy_n than_o other_o do_v they_o sin_n against_o covenant_n vow_n and_o strong_a resolution_n this_o make_v their_o sin_n of_o separation_n much_o the_o great_a and_o more_o to_o be_v lament_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o sin_n his_o own_o people_n 3_o separation_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n by_o far_o than_o otherwise_o it_o will_v be_v in_o this_o respect_n because_o it_o be_v maintain_v countenance_v and_o preach_v up_o as_o if_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o but_o a_o duty_n this_o kind_a withdraw_a from_o church_n and_o ordinance_n be_v hold_v forth_o as_o a_o great_a gospel_n truth_n by_o many_o satan_n temptation_n be_v the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o the_o woman_n transgression_n the_o great_a when_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n be_v eat_v of_o under_o the_o show_n and_o appearance_n of_o good_a gen._n 3._o 5_o 6._o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o call_v that_o good_a that_o be_v evil_a in_o itself_o god_n can_v abide_v it_o when_o man_n be_v so_o stupid_a as_o to_o call_v darkness_n light_n this_o also_o call_v for_o mourning_n 4_o separation_n be_v that_o leaven_n which_o leaven_v the_o whole_a lump_n it_o be_v that_o canker_n or_o gangrene_n that_o will_v if_o god_n prevent_v it_o not_o eat_v out_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o goodness_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o hymeneus_n and_o philetus_n 2_o tim._n 2._o 17._o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o dangerous_a sign_n of_o a_o carnal_a man_n though_o he_o may_v be_v clothe_v in_o a_o religious_a habit_n the_o apostle_n propound_v this_o question_n to_o those_o that_o study_v to_o make_v a_o rent_n at_o corinth_n and_o to_o those_o that_o

indeed_o now_o if_o you_o will_v be_v preserve_v from_o this_o evil_a that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v seduce_v into_o separation_n i_o shall_v prescribe_v unto_o you_o five_o help_n which_o be_v all_o
