the_o foul_a it_o be_v use_v 2_o second_o this_o do_v teach_v we_o that_o not_o abuse_n but_o the_o toleration_n of_o they_o do_v blemish_v a_o church_n and_o detract_v from_o the_o perfect_a beauty_n of_o it_o for_o otherwise_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v find_v schism_n heresy_n chap._n a_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n uncharitable_a go_v to_o law_n incest_n lovefeast_n in_o the_o lord_n

go_v away_o with_o we_o from_o it_o come_v with_o i_o from_o lebanon_n my_o spouse_n with_o i_o so_o when_o christ_n leave_v and_o forsake_v a_o church_n we_o may_v leave_v it_o and_o go_v out_o with_o he_o second_o when_o a_o church_n be_v become_v a_o universal_a spot_a leopard_n and_o a_o cruel_a lion_n blaspheme_v and_o persecute_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n as_o 51._o these_o thing_n

it_o be_v time_n to_o go_v but_o be_v there_o these_o cause_n now_o do_v not_o christ_n dwell_v here_o in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o his_o ordinance_n as_o long_o as_o christ_n be_v here_o in_o
