A34335	The notion of schism stated according to the antients, and considered with reference to the non-conformists, and the pleas for schismaticks examined being animadversions upon the plea for the non-conformists : with reflections on that famous Tract of schism, written by Mr. Hales in two letters to a very worthy gentleman.

that_o subordination_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o not_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o superior_a authority_n of_o the_o priesthood_n and_o sir_n it_o may_v be_v worth_a your_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d schism_n in_o its_o general_a notion_n signify_v any_o manner_n of_o separation_n or_o division_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o those_o dissension_n that_o be_v
