with_o they_o in_o all_o the_o doctrinal_n of_o religion_n we_o hope_v it_o may_v appear_v to_o the_o world_n that_o as_o we_o be_v a_o remnant_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o same_o nation_n with_o they_o so_o we_o be_v professor_n of_o the_o same_o common_a faith_n and_o fellow_n heir_n of_o the_o same_o common_a salvation_n yea_o moreover_o as_o this_o our_o profession_n of_o the_o same_o faith_n with_o they_o will_v exempt_v we_o even_o in_o their_o judgement_n from_o suspicion_n of_o heresy_n so_o we_o trust_v it_o may_v exempt_v we_o in_o like_a sort_n from_o suspicion_n of_o schism_n that_o though_o we_o be_v force_v to_o dessent_fw-la from_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o church-discipline_n yet_o our_o dissent_n be_v not_o take_v up_o out_o of_o arrogancy_n of_o spirit_n in_o ourselves_o who_o they_o see_v willing_o condescend_v to_o learn_v of_o they_o neither_o be_v it_o carry_v with_o uncharitable_a censoriousness_n towards_o they_o both_o which_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o essential_a character_n of_o schisem_n but_o in_o meekness_n of_o wisdom_n as_o we_o walk_v along_o with_o they_o and_o follow_v they_o as_o they_o follow_v christ_n so_o where_o we_o conceive_v a_o different_a apprehension_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o fall_v out_o in_o some_o few_o point_n touch_v church-order_n we_o still_o reserve_v due_a reverence_n to_o they_o who_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v through_o christ_n the_o glorious_a light_n of_o both_o nation_n and_o only_o crave_v leave_v as_o in_o spirit_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v the_o lamb_n whither_o soever_o be_v go_v and_o after_o the_o apostle_n example_n as_o we_o believe_v so_o we_o speak_v and_o if_o the_o example_n of_o such_o poor_a outcast_n as_o ourselves_o may_v prevail_v if_o not_o with_o all_o for_o that_o be_v too_o great_a a_o blessing_n to_o hope_v for_o yet_o with_o some_o or_o other_o of_o our_o brethren_n in_o england_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v come_v to_o mind_n and_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o such_o as_o dissent_v from_o they_o we_o hope_v in_o christ_n it_o will_v not_o only_o moderate_v the_o harsh_a judge_n and_o condemn_v of_o one_o another_o in_o such_o difference_n of_o judgement_n as_o may_v be_v find_v in_o the_o choice_a saint_n 3_o but_o also_o prevent_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o christ_n the_o peril_n of_o the_o distraction_n and_o destruction_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o both_o kingdom_n otherwise_o if_o brethren_n shall_v go_v on_o to_o bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o the_o apostle_n fear_v as_o we_o also_o with_o sadness_n of_o heart_n do_v it_o will_v tend_v to_o the_o consume_n of_o they_o and_o we_o all_o which_o the_o lord_n prevent_v we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o beside_o these_o aspersion_n of_o heresy_n and_o schism_n other_o exception_n also_o be_v take_v at_o our_o way_n of_o church-government_n but_o as_o we_o conceive_v upon_o as_o little_a ground_n as_o 1._o that_o by_o admit_v none_o into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o our_o church_n but_o saint_n by_o calling_n we_o rob_v many_o parish-church_n of_o their_o best_a member_n to_o make_v up_o one_o of_o our_o congregation_n which_o be_v not_o only_o to_o gather_v church_n out_o of_o church_n a_o thing_n not_o hear_v of_o in_o scripture_n but_o also_o to_o weaken_v the_o heart_n and_o hand_n of_o the_o best_a minister_n in_o the_o parish_n by_o dispoyl_v they_o of_o their_o best_a hearer_n 2._o that_o we_o provide_v no_o course_n for_o the_o gain_n and_o call_v in_o of_o ignorant_a and_o erroneous_a and_o scandalous_a person_n who_o we_o refuse_v to_o receive_v into_o our_o church_n and_o so_o exclude_v from_o the_o wholesome_a remedy_n of_o church-discipline_n 3._o that_o in_o our_o way_n we_o sow_v seed_n of_o division_n and_o hindrance_n of_o edification_n in_o every_o family_n whilst_o admit_v into_o our_o church_n only_a voluntary_n the_o husband_n will_v be_v of_o one_o church_n the_o wife_n of_o another_o the_o parent_n of_o one_o church_n the_o child_n of_o another_o the_o master_n of_o one_o church_n the_o servant_n of_o another_o and_o so_o the_o parent_n and_o master_n be_v of_o different_a church_n from_o their_o child_n and_o servant_n they_o can_v take_v a_o just_a account_n of_o their_o profit_v by_o what_o they_o hear_v yea_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o husband_n parent_n and_o master_n shall_v be_v chargeable_a to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o many_o other_o church_n and_o church-officer_n beside_o their_o own_o which_o will_v prove_v a_o charge_n and_o burden_n unsupportable_a but_o for_o answer_n as_o to_o the_o first_o for_o gather_v church_n out_o of_o church_n we_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n unheard_a of_o in_o scripture_n the_o first_o christian_a church_n be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o jewish_a church_n and_o out_o of_o many_o synagogue_n in_o that_o church_n and_o consist_v partly_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n partly_o of_o the_o galilean_n who_o though_o they_o keep_v some_o communion_n in_o some_o part_n of_o public_a worship_n with_o the_o temple_n yet_o neither_o do_v they_o frequent_v the_o sacrifice_n nor_o repair_v to_o the_o sanedrim_n for_o the_o determine_n of_o their_o church-cause_n but_o keep_v entire_a and_o constant_a communion_n with_o the_o apostle_n church_n in_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o for_o the_o first_o christian_a church_n of_o the_o gentile_n at_o antioch_n it_o appear_v to_o have_v be_v gather_v and_o constitute_v partly_o of_o the_o disperse_a brethren_n of_o the_o church_n at_o jerusalem_n whereof_o some_o be_v man_n of_o cyprus_n and_o cyren_n and_o partly_o of_o the_o believe_a gentile_n act_n 11.20_o 21._o if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o first_o christian_a church_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o that_o at_o antioch_n be_v gather_v not_o out_o of_o any_o christian_a church_n but_o out_o of_o the_o jewish_a temple_n and_o synagogue_n which_o be_v short_o after_o to_o be_v abolish_v and_o their_o gather_n to_o antioch_n be_v upon_o occasion_n of_o dispersion_n in_o time_n of_o persecution_n we_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v 1._o that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n be_v more_o strong_o and_o strait_o tie_v by_o express_v holy_a covenant_n to_o keep_v fellowship_n with_o the_o jewish_a church_n till_o it_o be_v abolish_v than_o any_o member_n of_o christian_a parish-church_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v tie_v to_o keep_v fellowship_n with_o their_o parish-church_n the_o episcopal_a canon_n which_o bound_v they_o to_o attend_v on_o their_o parish_n church_n it_o be_v likely_a they_o be_v now_o abolish_v with_o the_o episcopacy_n the_o common_a law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v satisfy_v as_o we_o conceive_v if_o they_o attend_v upon_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o any_o other_o church_n though_o not_o within_o their_o own_o parish_n but_o no_o such_o like_a covenant_n of_o god_n nor_o any_o other_o religious_a tie_n lie_v upon_o they_o to_o attend_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o parish_n church_n as_o do_v lie_v upon_o the_o jew_n to_o attend_v upon_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o their_o temple_n and_o synagogue_n 2._o though_o the_o jewish_a temple_n church_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v to_o be_v abolish_v yet_o that_o do_v not_o make_v the_o desertion_n of_o it_o by_o the_o member_n to_o be_v lawful_a till_o it_o be_v abolish_v future_a abolition_n be_v no_o warrant_n for_o present_a desertion_n unless_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o some_o case_n whilst_o the_o church_n be_v yet_o in_o present_a stand_n to_o desert_n it_o to_o wit_n either_o for_o avoid_v of_o present_a pollution_n or_o for_o hope_n of_o great_a edification_n and_o so_o for_o better_a satisfaction_n to_o conscience_n in_o either_o future_a event_n or_o foresight_n of_o they_o do_v not_o desolve_v present_a relation_n else_o wife_n child_n servant_n may_v desert_n their_o husband_n parent_n master_n when_o they_o be_v mortal_o sick_a 3._o what_o the_o member_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n do_v in_o join_v to_o the_o church_n at_o antioch_n in_o time_n of_o persecution_n it_o may_v well_o be_v conceive_v the_o member_n of_o any_o christian_a church_n may_v do_v the_o like_a for_o satisfaction_n of_o conscience_n peace_n of_o conscience_n be_v more_o desirable_a than_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o freedom_n from_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n be_v more_o comfortable_a to_o a_o sincere_a heart_n than_o freedom_n from_o persecution_n if_o it_o be_v say_v these_o member_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n at_o jerusalem_n that_o join_v to_o the_o church_n at_o antioch_n remove_v their_o habitation_n together_o with_o their_o relation_n which_o if_o the_o brethren_n of_o the_o congregational_a way_n will_v do_v it_o will_v much_o abate_v the_o grievance_n of_o their_o departure_n from_o their_o presbyterial_a church_n we_o very_o can_v wish_v they_o so_o to_o do_v as_o well_o approve_v the_o like_a
