church_n catholic_n visible_a do_v we_o break_v charity_n with_o our_o brethren_n do_v we_o revile_v they_o or_o reproach_v their_o person_n or_o society_n let_v they_o bear_v the_o blame_n who_o do_v

their_o secession_n from_o they_o be_v just_a and_o necessary_a and_o therefore_o can_v not_o be_v a_o sinful_a separation_n §_o 45._o now_o what_o say_v the_o author_n to_o this_o will_v he_o say_v that_o parochial_a society_n be_v all_o true_a govern_v church_n sure_o he_o will_v not_o say_v so_o if_o he_o own_o episcopacy_n for_o man_n of_o that_o persuasion_n must_v maintain_v that_o the_o

will_v he_o say_v that_o parochial_a society_n have_v no_o peculiar_a pastor_n or_o none_o that_o reside_v with_o his_o flock_n be_v true_a ministerial_a church_n sure_o this_o in_o the_o first_o

the_o trial_n of_o this_o issue_n we_o must_v inquire_v quest_n what_o be_v a_o sufficient_a union_n of_o a_o person_n to_o a_o true_a ministerial_a church_n the_o author_n seem_v not_o to_o think_v mere_a cohabitation_n do_v it_o though_o he_o think_v it_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o divine_a which_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o the_o member_n of_o a_o church_n shall_v

a_o house_n betwixt_o they_o &_o c_o what_o the_o author_n do_v say_v i_o will_v candid_o transscribe_v as_o i_o find_v it_o in_o his_o doctrine_n of_o schism_n ch_n 13._o p._n 89._o they_o be_v

wherein_o the_o soul_n of_o christian_n as_o to_o their_o eternal_a concern_v be_v high_o concern_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a but_o let_v the_o author_n prove_v what_o i_o
