sect_n and_o heresy_n these_o vain_a word_n will_v not_o save_v we_o while_o we_o foment_n this_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n this_o principle_n of_o hatred_n persecution_n and_o division_n in_o one_o another_o that_o some_o of_o we_o must_v judge_v for_o ourselves_o and_o other_o too_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o must_v interpret_v the_o word_n as_o if_o we_o be_v infallible_a when_o we_o acknowledge_v we_o be_v not_o so_o and_o must_v impose_v our_o own_o fullible_a sense_n and_o interpretation_n upon_o other_o and_o in_o case_n of_o nonconformity_n must_v force_v obedience_n from_o they_o while_o we_o thus_o bite_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o devour_v one_o of_o another_o this_o reformation_n be_v not_o

leave_v we_o a_o example_n that_o we_o also_o ought_v to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o the_o brethren_n and_o not_o to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o the_o brethren_n because_o they_o differ_v from_o we_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o minister_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n all_o the_o new_a testament_n over_o the_o weapon_n of_o our_o 4_o warfare_n say_v st._n paul_n be_v not_o

intend_v but_o there_o be_v very_o much_o in_o they_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v we_o a_o understanding_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v themâ—_z friend_n they_o be_v our_o gospel_n and_o i_o shall_v leave_v they_o with_o you_o as_o those_o which_o shall_v one_o day_n rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o such_o as_o have_v embrace_v they_o and_o yet_o walk_v contrary_a to_o what_o they_o report_v unto_o we_o undoubted_o the_o mean_n that_o christ_n have_v appoint_v to_o propagate_v his_o gospel_n and_o to_o advance_v his_o kingdom_n be_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o the_o sword_n of_o stâ—â—le_n by_o this_o it_o be_v that_o antichrist_n have_v so_o enlarge_v his_o dominion_n as_o you_o may_v see_v revel._n 13._o 7._o and_o therefore_o hear_v his_o doom_n which_o shall_v sure_o be_v accomplish_v on_o he_o and_o all_o such_o too_o as_o in_o this_o kind_n take_v part_n with_o he_o ver._n teh_o that_o lead_v into_o captivity_n must_v go_v into_o captivity_n and_o he_o that_o kill_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v be_v kill_v with_o the_o sword_n here_o be_v the_o patience_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n matth._n 26._o 52._o they_o that_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v by_o the_o sword_n and_o before_o i_o shall_v pass_v from_o this_o i_o beseech_v you_o as_o you_o tender_v the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o kingdom_n which_o you_o daily_o pray_v for_o and_o the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o this_o your_o own_o native_a kingdom_n where_o you_o live_v that_o you_o will_v serious_o consider_v with_o yourselves_o whether_o this_o usurpation_n of_o power_n over_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o respect_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o antichrist_n himself_o have_v do_v in_o all_o age_n may_v not_o be_v the_o true_a and_o adequate_a cause_n why_o the_o lord_n have_v suffer_v the_o sword_n to_o bathe_v itself_o in_o blood_n and_o to_o make_v itself_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o slay_v in_o these_o part_n for_o divers_a past_a and_o for_o many_o more_o in_o the_o part_n beyond_o the_o sea_n so_o rev._n 16._o 6._o they_o have_v shed_v the_o blood_n of_o

spirit_n of_o hatred_n and_o persecution_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n which_o have_v give_v antichrist_n his_o denomination_n life_n and_o be_v do_v yet_o abide_v 2_o be_v nourish_v and_o maintain_v by_o we_o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n wherein_o i_o shall_v be_v brief_a which_o be_v that_o though_o the_o presbyterian_a church_n be_v true_o constitute_v point_n and_o order_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n as_o indeed_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o maintain_v any_o error_n either_o in_o judgement_n or_o practise_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o kingdom_n who_o join_v not_o themselves_o to_o they_o can_v true_o and_o proper_o be_v term_v schismatic_n for_o this_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o former_o in_o this_o discourse_n while_o i_o open_v the_o several_a word_n that_o according_a to_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o the_o word_n schism_n signify_v a_o disunion_n division_n or_o cleave_v asunder_o of_o part_n which_o be_v before_o unite_v in_o a_o solid_a body_n let_v we_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n and_o schism_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o division_n or_o separation_n in_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o person_n from_o some_o church_n or_o body_n to_o which_o they_o be_v before_o unite_v and_o when_o i_o pray_v be_v it_o that_o those_o who_o be_v
