thousand_o use_v 2._o hence_o there_o arise_v just_a ground_n of_o humiliation_n before_o the_o lord_n this_o day_n in_o that_o this_o error_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n

the_o most_o fruitful_a sin_n of_o many_o other_o it_o be_v a_o very_a comprehensive_a evil_n the_o womb_n out_o of_o which_o issue_v many_o prodigious_a monster_n if_o i_o shall_v begin_v to_o show_v

hence_o arise_v many_o of_o the_o heresy_n and_o abomination_n that_o be_v how_o among_o we_o we_o be_v pester_v with_o anabaptist_n seeker_n quaker_n and_o the_o like_a sort_n of_o viper_n but_o they_o all_o begin_v in_o separation_n man_n first_o run_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o they_o may_v be_v of_o any_o religion_n they_o please_v our_o late_a experience_n do_v abundant_o confirm_v this_o and_o how_o indeed_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o when_o man_n forsake_v the_o true_a church_n what_o hinder_v but_o they_o may_v erect_v any_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v devise_v the_o fruitfulness_n of_o it_o make_v it_o the_o foul_a sin_n 2_o separation_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o many_o of_o god_n own_o people_n as_o we_o do_v conceive_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n be_v smut_v and_o taint_v with_o and_o the_o sin_n of_o god_n child_n be_v aggravate_v by_o many_o more_o circumstance_n than_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o man_n be_v israel_n have_v sin_v be_v that_o which_o god_n affirm_v to_o joshua_n as_o a_o great_a ground_n of_o humiliation_n chap._n 7._o 11._o the_o child_n of_o god_n sin_n against_o great_a outward_a light_n and_o mean_n of_o grace_n than_o other_o do_v they_o sin_n against_o the_o inward_a light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o sin_n against_o great_a mercy_n than_o other_o do_v they_o sin_n against_o covenant_n vow_n and_o strong_a resolution_n this_o make_v their_o sin_n of_o separation_n much_o the_o great_a and_o more_o to_o be_v lament_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o sin_n his_o own_o people_n 3_o separation_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n by_o far_o than_o otherwise_o it_o will_v be_v in_o this_o respect_n because_o it_o be_v maintain_v countenance_v and_o preach_v up_o as_o if_o it_o
