those_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o sinful_a separation_n be_v separatist_n and_o that_o those_o that_o voluntary_o separate_v from_o a_o true_a church_n where_o they_o may_v communicate_v without_o

old_a separatist_n have_v some_o principle_n about_o these_o thing_n worse_o than_o the_o new_a but_o under_o your_o favour_n i_o think_v if_o these_o separate_a as_o they_o do_v and_o think_v themselves_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o to_o say_v against_o our_o church_n as_o they_o of_o old_a do_v their_o practice_n of_o separation_n be_v the_o worse_a for_o this_o and_o not_o a_o whit_n the_o better_a now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o bring_v forth_o my_o reason_n too_o it_o be_v this_o if_o a_o great_a and_o real_a cause_n of_o separation_n do_v warrant_n and_o justify_v it_o in_o all_o man_n judgement_n but_o your_o own_o the_o lesser_a the_o cause_n of_o separation_n be_v the_o worse_a it_o be_v and_o the_o more_o schysmatical_a and_o consequent_o where_o there_o be_v no_o real_a
