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

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

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
