straggle_v into_o a_o church_n which_o be_v not_o in_o communion_n with_o our_o bishop_n this_o confinement_n to_o one_o bishop_n you_o must_v say_v upon_o your_o ground_n will_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o catholic_n communion_n but_o we_o have_v your_o authority_n for_o it_o that_o the_o other_o be_v not_o yet_o it_o seem_v if_o presbytery_n shall_v have_v the_o advantage_n of_o authority_n they_o who_o refuse_v communion_n with_o the_o national_a church_n upon_o pretence_n of_o pure_a ordinance_n and_o the_o belief_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n must_v be_v as_o bad_a as_o murderer_n and_o adulterer_n that_o be_v very_a schismatic_n and_o judge_v you_o ibid._n whether_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o barbarous_a thing_n to_o make_v any_o law_n which_o shall_v ensnare_v man_n in_o so_o great_a a_o gild_n but_o here_o you_o take_v notice_n of_o a_o passage_n or_o two_o in_o my_o preface_n the_o one_o letter_n that_o perhaps_o it_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o suppose_v that_o man_n may_v as_o well_o continue_v member_n of_o the_o national_a church_n notwithstanding_o their_o break_v many_o positive_a law_n make_v for_o the_o outward_a management_n and_o order_n of_o it_o though_o not_o fundamental_a and_o necessary_a to_o its_o be_v as_o he_o who_o incur_v the_o penalty_n of_o any_o statute_n of_o the_o realm_n about_o civil_a affair_n may_v however_o be_v a_o sound_a member_n of_o the_o state_n if_o he_o keep_v from_o treason_n or_o other_o capital_a crime_n this_o you_o answer_v by_o a_o beg_n and_o indeed_o mistake_v the_o question_n and_o will_v have_v it_o of_o a_o schismatical_a separation_n which_o you_o elsewhere_o express_v by_o renounce_v communion_n and_o this_o you_o may_v compare_v to_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n in_o the_o state_n if_o you_o think_v fit_a but_o the_o church_n be_v not_o much_o behold_v to_o you_o for_o make_v that_o in_o which_o conformity_n be_v expect_v fundamental_a and_o necessary_a to_o its_o be_v and_o when_o you_o compare_v a_o man_n that_o communicate_v sometime_o with_o one_o true_a church_n sometime_o with_o another_o to_o a_o man_n that_o join_v sometime_o with_o his_o prince_n force_n and_o sometime_o with_o his_o enemy_n the_o comparison_n be_v either_o very_a impertinent_a or_o very_o uncharitable_a in_o suppose_v that_o a_o church_n which_o differ_v from_o this_o in_o what_o be_v real_o accidental_a how_o essential_a soever_o you_o make_v it_o be_v antichristian_a or_o a_o enemy_n to_o christ_n which_o sure_o no_o true_a church_n be_v yet_o i_o must_v confess_v herein_o you_o agree_v with_o yourself_o when_o you_o say_v there_o may_v be_v a_o true_a church_n 70._o which_o be_v no_o catholic_n church_n that_o be_v no_o true_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n i_o add_v nay_o possible_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v several_a religious_a assembly_n live_v by_o different_a custom_n and_o rule_n and_o yet_o continue_v member_n of_o the_o national_a church_n be_v not_o more_o inconsistent_a than_o that_o particular_a place_n shall_v have_v their_o particular_a custom_n and_o by-law_n distinct_a from_o the_o common-law_n of_o the_o land_n without_o make_v a_o distinct_a government_n this_o you_o condemn_v without_o vouchsafe_v it_o a_o fair_a hear_v as_o nibble_v at_o that_o heal_n project_n 32._o for_o which_o you_o

that_o may_v be_v conceive_v probable_a the_o one_o by_o take_v away_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n touch_v matter_n of_o religion_n the_o other_o by_o show_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n which_o be_v among_o the_o several_a sect_n of_o christian_n aught_o to_o be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o their_o unity_n in_o communion_n the_o first_o he_o look_v on_o as_o not_o likely_a without_o a_o miracle_n what_o then_o remain_v say_v he_o but_o that_o the_o other_o way_n must_v be_v take_v and_o christian_n must_v be_v teach_v to_o set_v a_o high_a value_n upon_o those_o high_a point_n of_o

performance_n of_o all_o those_o work_n of_o charity_n which_o christian_n owe_v one_o unto_o another_o and_o to_o such_o a_o communion_n what_o better_a inducement_n can_v be_v think_v of_o than_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o what_o be_v universal_o believe_v of_o all_o christian_n if_o it_o be_v join_v with_o a_o love_n of_o truth_n and_o holy_a obedience_n be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o heaven_n for_o why_o shall_v man_n be_v more_o rigid_a than_o god_n why_o shall_v any_o error_n exclude_v any_o man_n from_o the_o church_n communion_n which_o will_v not_o deprive_v he_o of_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o the_o same_o sense_n be_v the_o passage_n i_o have_v in_o that_o preface_n cite_v out_o of_o dr._n tillotson_n sermon_n 50._o and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o ask_v he_o as_o i_o be_v the_o catholic_n church_n then_o and_o communion_n of_o saint_n no_o part_n of_o our_o creed_n your_o notion_n of_o communion_n be_v a_o new_a article_n but_o to_o re-assert_a what_o i_o have_v observe_v of_o your_o manage_n the_o charge_n of_o schism_n 33._o i_o have_v say_v people_n may_v not_o well_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v unless_o it_o be_v take_v to_o lie_v whole_o in_o

christian_a i_o say_v further_o to_o my_o think_n as_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o it_o he_o suppose_v a_o continuance_n still_o of_o the_o same_o body_n and_o ascribe_v it_o to_o christian_n continue_v such_o nay_o and_o communicate_v with_o each_o other_o and_o this_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o deny_v nay_o you_o well_o know_v that_o not_o only_o the_o thing_n 10._o but_o the_o very_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d have_v by_o that_o apostle_n be_v apply_v to_o such_o hence_o you_o will_v argue_v 33._o that_o i_o will_v not_o allow_v causeless_a separation_n from_o a_o sound_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n to_o be_v schism_n but_o place_n schism_n whole_o in_o want_n of_o charity_n but_o it_o be_v obvious_a that_o i_o do_v it_o no_o more_o than_o the_o apostle_n himself_o do_v but_o beside_o it_o induce_v the_o belief_n that_o schism_n be_v not_o such_o a_o crime_n as_o you_o imagine_v for_o if_o the_o corinthian_n be_v schismatic_n whilst_o they_o continue_v in_o communion_n with_o each_o other_o and_o yet_o be_v particular_a member_n of_o christ_n body_n then_o schism_n do_v not_o cut_v off_o from_o christ_n body_n nor_o do_v you_o right_o apply_v the_o addition_n of_o apostate_n christian_n further_o by_o what_o authority_n do_v you_o apply_v that_o to_o a_o refuse_v communion_n with_o any_o sound_a church_n whatever_o upon_o your_o suppose_a notion_n of_o catholic_n communion_n from_o a_o text_n which_o mention_n no_o other_o schism_n but_o what_o be_v between_o they_o who_o live_v in_o the_o same_o communion_n and_o still_o beyond_o all_o this_o it_o seem_v demonstrable_a from_o the_o text_n that_o the_o causa_fw-la formalis_fw-la or_o that_o which_o constitute_v schism_n be_v not_o separation_n though_o it_o be_v causeless_a unless_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o want_n of_o charity_n for_o since_o there_o may_v be_v schism_n where_o there_o be_v no_o separation_n of_o communion_n than_o it_o must_v be_v something_o which_o consist_v with_o joint_a communion_n and_o find_v out_o something_o beside_o want_n of_o charity_n if_o you_o can_v the_o apostle_n notion_n of_o schism_n we_o have_v see_v but_o i_o wonder_v by_o what_o authority_n you_o affirm_v 59_o that_o schism_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o breach_n of_o christian_a communion_n 60._o and_o that_o where_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n be_v break_v by_o distinct_a and_o opposite_a communion_n there_o be_v the_o full_a nature_n of_o schism_n and_o where_o this_o be_v not_o there_o be_v either_o no_o schism_n or_o only_o a_o partial_a schism_n which_o be_v like_o a_o great_a

it_o be_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o every_o one_o though_o a_o license_a stranger_n to_o communicate_v with_o this_o church_n now_o to_o avoid_v the_o question_n here_o you_o have_v a_o pretty_a notion_n whereby_o you_o will_v make_v french_a protestant_n to_o have_v no_o church_n call_v they_o a_o ecclesiastical_a colony_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n abroad_o but_o all_o church-power_n be_v exercise_v among_o themselves_o here_o you_o have_v no_o more_o ground_n to_o call_v they_o a_o ecclesiastical_a colony_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o french_a church_n than_o you_o may_v call_v we_o so_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o other_o to_o which_o we_o may_v have_v former_o belong_v ●5_n especial_o since_o they_o can_v meet_v with_o the_o mother-church_n in_o france_n for_o act_n of_o

excuse_v they_o as_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o this_o church_n but_o this_o you_o condemn_v 14._o as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o beside_o consider_v not_o what_o you_o say_v to_o mr._n humphreys_n his_o project_n nor_o your_o charge_v the_o dissenter_n with_o schism_n for_o not_o communicate_v with_o each_o other_o notwithstanding_o that_o one_o can_v pretend_v jurisdiction_n over_o the_o other_o and_o so_o must_v be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n with_o those_o that_o be_v privilege_v or_o exempt_v wherefore_o the_o french_a protestant_n be_v behold_v to_o you_o for_o a_o good_a lift._n but_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o these_o french_a protestant_n to_o communicate_v with_o our_o church_n when_o ever_o they_o be_v require_v you_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o consequence_n from_o your_o tenent_n which_o be_v that_o they_o ought_v notwithstanding_o a_o exemption_n for_o else_o it_o follow_v that_o our_o church_n be_v too_o straight_o in_o its_o term_n of_o communion_n and_o you_o can_v sure_o but_o remember_v where_o we_o be_v teach_v 360._o that_o union_n to_o the_o body_n consist_v in_o union_n to_o that_o part_n which_o be_v next_o 2._o but_o i_o ask_v you_o further_o whether_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o the_o obligation_n to_o communicate_v or_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o communicate_v with_o any_o true_a church_n where_o distance_n do_v not_o hinder_v that_o a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o constant_a communion_n with_o that_o church_n but_o may_v occasional_o communicate_v with_o the_o french_a church_n nay_o with_o dissenter_n too_o if_o he_o believe_v that_o any_o of_o their_o congregation_n be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n here_o i_o lie_v under_o your_o sore_a displeasure_n 16._o for_o turn_v your_o own_o artillery_n upon_o you_o 18._o and_o you_o think_v no_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n ever_o understand_v this_o question_n in_o any_o other_o sense_n than_o that_o whatever_o church_n i_o can_v occasional_o communicate_v with_o i_o be_o also_o bind_v to_o communicate_v constant_o with_o whenever_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o determine_v my_o communion_n to_o a_o particular_a church_n make_v it_o my_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v and_o a_o very_a doughty_a question_n this_o be_v for_o sure_o it_o be_v beyond_o dispute_n that_o whatever_o necessary_o determine_v my_o communion_n to_o a_o particular_a sound_a church_n make_v constant_a communion_n with_o it_o my_o duty_n and_o be_v no_o more_o than_o that_o what_o make_v it_o my_o duty_n make_v it_o my_o duty_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o any_o thing_n necessary_o determine_v my_o communion_n to_o a_o particular_a church_n and_o what_o it_o be_v and_o thus_o i_o may_v leave_v you_o upon_o your_o mistake_n of_o the_o question_n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v demonstrable_a from_o what_o you_o yourself_o say_v that_o the_o place_n do_v not_o determine_v my_o communion_n with_o a_o sound_a church_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o ordinary_o you_o distinguish_v between_o a_o state_n of_o communion_n and_o act_n of_o communion_n but_o unless_o a_o man_n though_o he_o have_v sufficient_a opportunity_n may_v be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o communion_n without_o any_o actual_a communion_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o say_v 15._o no_o act_n of_o communion_n more_o peculiar_o unite_v we_o to_o any_o particular_a church_n than_o to_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n 15._o and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o interruption_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o communicate_v actual_o with_o any_o church_n that_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o it_o and_o yet_o a_o member_n as_o a_o member_n be_v in_o constant_a communion_n perhaps_o indeed_o if_o the_o communion_n of_o church_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v upon_o the_o catholic_n essential_a term_n actual_a communion_n with_o a_o church_n which_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o this_o be_v no_o interruption_n or_o suspension_n of_o communion_n with_o this_o but_o admit_v now_o that_o the_o french_a church_n which_o you_o say_v be_v in_o communion_n with_o we_o will_v be_v ready_a if_o require_v to_o hold_v communion_n with_o we_o in_o every_o point_n wherein_o we_o may_v seem_v to_o differ_v

at_o such_o and_o such_o time_n if_o they_o receive_v not_o in_o any_o of_o these_o place_n will_v the_o receive_n with_o the_o french_a church_n justify_v they_o and_o free_v they_o from_o the_o
