be_v the_o great_a schismatic_n under_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o charity_n and_o no_o body_n can_v accuse_v they_o here_o be_v a_o marvellous_a contrariety_n betwixt_o these_o two_o sentence_n montibus_fw-la illis_fw-la erant_fw-la &_o crant_v in_o montibus_fw-la illis_fw-la i_o suppose_v by_o on_o the_o contrary_n he_o mean_v on_o the_o tautology_n at_o least_o he_o must_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o take_v it_o so_o but_o be_v there_o no_o way_n then_o to_o know_v man_n uncharitableness_n but_o by_o look_v into_o the_o secret_n of_o their_o heart_n do_v he_o never_o hear_v of_o a_o rule_n by_o their_o fruit_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o how_o often_o do_v this_o gentleman_n accuse_v the_o enquirer_n and_o vindicator_n with_o malice_n and_o uncharitableness_n if_o he_o have_v no_o evidence_n for_o this_o by_o overt_a act_n we_o know_v what_o to_o call_v he_o but_o if_o he_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n for_o it_o than_o his_o inference_n be_v spoil_v and_o prove_v like_o the_o former_a only_o thus_o far_o we_o will_v allow_v he_o to_o argue_v if_o schism_n consist_v in_o such_o uncharitableness_n and_o alienation_n of_o affection_n man_n ought_v to_o be_v very_o cautious_a how_o they_o call_v one_o another_o schismatic_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o that_o sin_n themselves_o whilst_o they_o be_v charge_v it_o upon_o other_o and_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v not_o the_o least_o of_o our_o author_n prejudices_fw-la against_o mr._n h_n notion_n that_o it_o will_v not_o suffer_v man_n to_o be_v continual_o bawl_v schismatic_n schismatic_n against_o all_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o own_o persuasion_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o but_o schismatic_n will_v like_v it_o the_o better_a upon_o this_o account_n that_o it_o will_v lay_v a_o restraint_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o without_o very_o good_a ground_n fix_v such_o a_o brand_n upon_o their_o neighbour_n nor_o as_o heretofore_o hunt_v they_o out_o of_o church_n corporation_n and_o out_o of_o the_o world_n too_o as_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v by_o the_o noisy_a clamour_n they_o have_v raise_v about_o this_o word_n our_o surveyor_n proceed_v to_o blame_v this_o notion_n for_o want_n of_o clearness_n and_o put_v wonderful_a hard_a question_n one_a whether_o this_o uncharitable_a distance_n must_v be_v real_o among_o those_o that_o be_v christian_n but_o this_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n over_o again_o and_o have_v receive_v its_o answer_n they_o must_v real_o be_v such_o as_o profess_v christianity_n but_o who_o be_v real_a christian_n god_n know_v and_o if_o these_o man_n will_v forbear_v call_v dissenter_n schismatic_n till_o that_o matter_n be_v full_o clear_v the_o world_n will_v be_v much_o quiet_a 2._o qu._n what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o fundamental_o of_o religion_n but_o what_o strange_a perverseness_n be_v this_o in_o those_o who_o so_o often_o tell_v we_o we_o have_v all_o the_o fundamental_o of_o religion_n in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n he_o ask_v whether_o fundamental_o of_o salvation_n or_o fundamental_o of_o truth_n and_o i_o answer_v they_o be_v fundamental_a truth_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n he_o urge_v further_a be_v they_o so_o to_o every_o man_n in_o his_o private_a capacity_n or_o be_v they_o the_o fundamental_o of_o church_n communion_n these_o be_v mighty_a pretty_a distinction_n pray_v why_o shall_v those_o thing_n be_v fundamental_o of_o church_n communion_n which_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o particular_a person_n 3._o qu._n what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o little_a thing_n whether_o all_o manner_n of_o little_a thing_n or_o ecclesiastical_a little_a thing_n have_v this_o gentleman_n look_v into_o the_o case_n of_o the_o corinthian_n he_o may_v have_v answer_v himself_o they_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o relate_v to_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v comparative_o small_a that_o be_v small_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o great_a thing_n wherein_o they_o agree_v and_o of_o the_o great_a heat_n these_o thing_n cause_v from_o these_o little_a quibble_n which_o do_v no_o body_n harm_n but_o himself_o he_o return_v to_o his_o former_a practice_n of_o falsify_v mr._n h_n word_n for_o say_v he_o mr._n h._n tell_v we_o 7._o review_n p._n 7._o there_o be_v but_o one_o scripture_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n relate_v to_o this_o affair_n viz._n num._n 11.21_o but_o what_o if_o mr._n h._n say_v no_o such_o thing_n why_o then_o all_o his_o fine_a observation_n upon_o it_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o he_o must_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o observe_v that_o he_o be_v a_o very_a unfair_a and_o unjust_a writer_n all_o that_o mr._n h._n say_v be_v the_o old_a testament_n will_v not_o help_v we_o so_o much_o in_o this_o enquiry_n as_o the_o new_a only_o mention_v that_o one_o text_n and_o that_o not_o as_o give_v we_o a_o proper_a notion_n of_o schism_n but_o only_o help_v to_o rectify_v some_o mistake_n concern_v it_o now_o i_o will_v be_v so_o civil_a to_o this_o gentleman_n as_o to_o help_v he_o to_o take_v this_o matter_n aright_o he_o ought_v to_o consider_v what_o that_o enquiry_n be_v which_o mr._n h._n say_v the_o old_a testament_n will_v not_o be_v so_o helpful_a in_o as_o the_o new_a it_o be_v not_o how_o many_o time_n the_o church_n have_v be_v trouble_v with_o schism_n it_o be_v not_o his_o design_n to_o write_v a_o history_n of_o all_o the_o schism_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o church_n either_o since_o christ_n or_o before_o then_o indeed_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o old_a testament_n will_v not_o be_v so_o helpful_a to_o we_o the_o gentleman_n may_v have_v infer_v that_o the_o jewish_a church_n be_v not_o infest_a with_o this_o sin_n but_o the_o enquiry_n be_v what_o be_v that_o thing_n which_o the_o scripture_n call_v schism_n and_o those_o text_n be_v to_o be_v principal_o discuss_v that_o have_v the_o word_n schism_n find_v in_o they_o and_o by_o consider_v the_o circumstance_n of_o those_o case_n and_o action_n which_o be_v charge_v with_o schism_n he_o come_v to_o determine_v the_o formal_a nature_n of_o that_o sin_n and_o there_o may_v be_v a_o hundred_o text_n relate_v to_o the_o thing_n which_o will_v not_o be_v in_o the_o least_o helpful_a to_o mr._n h._n in_o this_o enquiry_n till_o he_o have_v first_o clear_v that_o to_o be_v real_o the_o thing_n call_v schism_n which_o must_v be_v prove_v by_o compare_v it_o with_o that_o which_o in_o express_a term_n be_v so_o call_v this_o be_v mr._n h_n method_n and_o i_o think_v a_o very_a proper_a and_o rational_a one_o and_o therefore_o the_o case_n which_o this_o gentleman_n mention_n of_o aaron_n and_o miriam_n of_o janne_n and_o jambres_n of_o korah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n be_v very_o just_o omit_v by_o mr._n h._n for_o how_o bad_a soever_o those_o practice_n be_v they_o can_v be_v prove_v schismatical_a till_o it_o be_v make_v to_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_a and_o quality_n with_o those_o which_o scripture_n call_v schism_n he_o be_v please_v to_o divert_v himself_o with_o the_o instance_n of_o eldad_n and_o medad_n prophesy_v in_o the_o camp_n which_o he_o say_v be_v foreign_a to_o the_o business_n 1._o because_o they_o be_v to_o bear_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o government_n with_o moses_n under_o god_n but_o be_v it_o not_o in_o subordination_n to_o moses_n be_v not_o he_o the_o chief_a governor_n still_o and_o be_v not_o the_o presbyter_n allow_v some_o share_n of_o government_n with_o the_o bishop_n and_o do_v that_o make_v they_o incapable_a of_o be_v schismatic_n 2._o their_o prophesy_v be_v for_o a_o sign_n well_o be_v it_o so_o and_o will_v have_v less_o answer_v that_o end_n if_o these_o two_o have_v be_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o they_o in_o the_o tabernacle_n 3._o they_o be_v act_v by_o a_o constrain_a impulse_n which_o sure_o be_v not_o the_o case_n of_o our_o nonconformist_n no_o sure_o nor_o of_o the_o conformist_n neither_o though_o they_o open_o declare_v at_o their_o ordination_n that_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o what_o if_o eldad_n and_o medad_n prophesy_v by_o impulse_n do_v not_o mr._n h._n obviate_v that_o objection_n by_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n 1_o cor._n 14.22_o and_o though_o this_o gentleman_n say_v that_o scripture_n be_v impertinent_o allege_v yet_o wise_a man_n as_o grotius_n and_o other_o give_v that_o sense_n of_o it_o which_o make_v it_o as_o pertinent_a as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v viz._n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v so_o subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n themselves_o that_o they_o be_v not_o act_v with_o that_o urge_v violence_n as_o will_v not_o allow_v a_o compliance_n with_o the_o rule_n of_o order_n that_o be_v they_o may_v if_o
