the_o second_o evil_a accompany_v schism_n in_o a_o church_n be_v rent_v of_o affection_n when_o the_o member_n of_o one_o body_n turn_v cold-rife_a one_o towards_o another_o and_o their_o affection_n die_v in_o opoosition_n to_o this_o evil_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v join_v together_o in_o the_o same_o mind_n or_o the_o same_o affection_n it_o be_v true_a the_o word_n here_o render_v mind_n

you_o know_v that_o there_o be_v several_a sort_n of_o union_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o union_n of_o the_o church_n invisible_a the_o tie_n and_o bond_n whereof_o be_v inward_a grace_n all_o the_o
