pollute_v by_o the_o company_n of_o the_o wicked_a which_o worship_n together_o with_o they_o especial_o when_o they_o can_v not_o remedy_v the_o matter_n to_o overthrow_v this_o argument_n you_o

the_o not_o separate_n of_o some_o wicked_a one_o out_o of_o the_o church_n although_o it_o be_v evil_a yet_o be_v not_o such_o a_o evil_a as_o destroy_v the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o godly_a be_v not_o pollute_v by_o the_o wicked_a which_o come_v together_o with_o they_o unto_o the_o public_a exercise_n of_o the_o holy_a religion_n thus_o have_v i_o prove_v your_o article_n or_o your_o

in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o see_v that_o very_o often_o it_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o heap_n of_o ungodly_a man_n have_v worship_v together_o with_o the_o godly_a and_o they_o not_o pollute_v by_o they_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v think_v hardly_o that_o i_o account_v it_o heretical_a that_o the_o brownist_n conclude_v after_o this_o sort_n they_o have_v open_a sinner_n and_o man_n profane_a in_o life_n which_o do_v worship_n together_o with_o they_o as_o member_n of_o their_o church_n

all_o that_o do_v join_v together_o in_o that_o society_n i_o may_v here_o make_v a_o end_n touch_v this_o second_o principal_a transgression_n but_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a particular_a
