know_v no_o form_n of_o people_n pretend_v religious_a worship_n but_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o the_o only_a true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n and_o their_o way_n the_o only_a true_a way_n

where_o the_o strong_a party_n carry_v it_o against_o the_o weak_a or_o lesser_a like_o heathen_n or_o mere_a man_n and_o be_v not_o this_o babylon_n look_v well_o into_o old_a babylon_n or_o new_a

deep_a when_o i_o charge_v saint_n to_o be_v still_o in_o babylon_n who_o they_o defy_v for_o although_o the_o saint_n be_v divide_v and_o distinguish_v into_o many_o form_n yet_o those_o form_n or_o model_n of_o discipline_n and_o government_n they_o be_v under_o be_v not_o form_v by_o the_o wit_n and_o will_n of_o man_n but_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o most_o of_o these_o separate-people_n be_v so_o far_o from_o persecution_n that_o they_o will_v have_v none_o compel_v against_o conscience_n but_o we_o ought_v to_o separate_v from_o evil_a person_n and_o thing_n answ_n here_o here_o be_v the_o great_a point_n indeed_o which_o will_v require_v a_o volumn_n to_o treat_v full_o on_o yet_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v but_o give_v in_o the_o light_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o these_o thing_n babylon_n be_v fall_v be_v fall_v indeed_o breach_n among_o saint_n be_v make_v up_o and_o the_o glory_n of_o new_a jerusalem_n will_v shine_v forth_o present_o for_o nothing_o hinder_v it_o instrumental_o but_o babylonish_n darkness_n and_o confusion_n among_o saint_n though_o yet_o they_o see_v it_o not_o this_o therefore_o be_v the_o main_a work_n of_o our_o day_n to_o

a_o charge_n upon_o saint_n and_o professor_n after_o so_o long_a a_o time_n of_o gospel_n light_n among_o us._n that_o the_o charge_n be_v true_a be_v too_o manifest_a for_o if_o the_o various_a form_n of_o profess_v people_n be_v direct_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o not_o by_o the_o wit_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n whence_o then_o come_v all_o this_o babylonish_n confusion_n and_o

must_v lie_v upon_o saint_n for_o so_o yet_o i_o will_v account_v they_o i_o shall_v not_o enlarge_v upon_o the_o subject_n but_o must_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o say_v that_o by_o want_n of_o the_o light_n and_o guidance_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n poor_a dark_a bewildered_a saint_n mistake_v their_o way_n and_o work_n one_o take_v the_o scripture_n in_o one_o sense_n another_o in_o another_o sense_n and_o so_o do_v a_o three_o a_o four_o and_o a_o five_o etc._n etc._n and_o so_o such_o person_n under_o such_o a_o persuasion_n and_o light_n as_o they_o term_v it_o which_o be_v darkness_n oft_o time_n fall_v into_o party_n and_o form_n and_o be_v not_o this_o babylon_n yet_o every_o party_n cry_v out_o of_o babylon_n and_o call_v come_v out_o of_o babylon_n o_o what_o have_v sin_n bring_v that_o excellent_a creature_n man_n to_z that_o his_o understanding_n shall_v be_v so_o darken_v and_o the_o man_n so_o deceive_v that_o he_o very_o think_v that_o he_o serve_v god_n when_o indeed_o he_o serve_v the_o devil_n o_o what_o have_v sin_n bring_v man_n to_o to_o take_v darkness_n for_o light_n and_o light_n for_o darkness_n to_o take_v error_n for_o truth_n and_o truth_n for_o error_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o most_o if_o not_o all_o saint_n in_o one_o degree_n or_o other_o that_o i_o may_v through_o grace_n speak_v home_n to_o differ_v saint_n and_o clear_o discover_v the_o bottom_n of_o division_n and_o set_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o elect_a a_o deep_a conviction_n of_o these_o common_a and_o dreadful_a mistake_v about_o several_a form_n and_o model_n of_o divine_a worship_n i_o shall_v full_o demonstrate_v to_o they_o that_o while_o they_o be_v in_o this_o state_n they_o be_v in_o babylon_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o special_a respect_n to_o these_o division_n in_o this_o last_o call_n to_o his_o people_n to_o come_v out_o of_o babylon_n that_o i_o may_v do_v this_o work_n with_o the_o more_o clearness_n to_o conviction_n i_o shall_v observe_v this_o order_n first_o prove_v that_o people_n in_o this_o state_n be_v in_o babylon_n or_o that_o this_o state_n be_v babylon_n where_o man_n own_a spirit_n be_v their_o guide_n second_o demonstrate_v that_o people_n in_o these_o form_n be_v not_o lead_v into_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o assertion_n i_o be_o to_o prove_v that_o those_o particular_a form_n and_o model_n of_o worship_n and_o government_n into_o which_o people_n of_o several_a persuasion_n be_v form_v and_o unite_v account_v several_o that_o only_o they_o in_o such_o a_o form_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n with_o they_o and_o that_o all_o other_o person_n and_o form_n be_v erroneous_a false_a and_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o as_o in_o babylon_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v very_a babylon_n i_o hope_v it_o need_v not_o be_v put_v upon_o i_o to_o prove_v that_o among_o we_o there_o be_v many_o form_n of_o separate-people_n under_o these_o persuasion_n and_o in_o this_o practice_n while_o both_o be_v so_o common_a but_o i_o judge_v it_o not_o convenient_a to_o give_v they_o by_o name_n but_o proceed_v to_o make_v good_a my_o charge_n against_o the_o thing_n therefore_o consider_v these_o few_o thing_n serious_o first_o that_o this_o practice_n be_v babylonish_n and_o from_o babylon_n be_v evident_a for_o thus_o mystical_a babylon_n be_v found_v and_o raise_v her_o building_n from_o the_o scripture_n as_o her_o leader_n and_o ruler_n judge_v the_o scripture_n speak_v or_o at_o least_o as_o they_o make_v they_o to_o speak_v by_o corrupt_v and_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n who_o be_v

so_o ignorant_a that_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o at_o this_o very_a day_n babylon_n will_v father_n all_o their_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n they_o exercise_v even_o to_o idolatry_n and_o murder_n upon_o the_o scripture_n and_o divine_a authority_n from_o god_n and_o yet_o be_v babylon_n for_o all_o that_o yea_o and_o because_o of_o that_o now_o where_o do_v man_n raise_v their_o different_a persuasion_n but_o from_o different_a take_n or_o mistake_v the_o true_a and_o right_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n all_o be_v father_v there_o and_o so_o they_o make_v the_o scripture_n speak_v what_o their_o reason_n or_o understanding_n judge_v to_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o they_o close_v and_o do_v not_o babylon_n the_o same_o and_o have_v as_o good_a warrant_n as_o these_o second_o that_o these_o several_a sect_n and_o division_n in_o and_o about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o government_n do_v arise_v and_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o wit_n and_o will_n of_o man_n as_o man_n be_v clear_a and_o undeniable_a upon_o this_o ground_n that_o however_o person_n in_o their_o present_a persuasion_n seem_v high_a and_o fix_v in_o their_o way_n pretend_v the_o light_n and_o lead_v of_o the_o spirit_n strong_o and_o therefore_o separate_v from_o all_o other_o form_n and_o deep_o judge_v and_o censure_v all_o differ_v from_o they_o yet_o after_o this_o suppose_v they_o have_v receive_v better_a light_n these_o very_a person_n fall_v into_o some_o other_o form_n and_o sometime_o into_o the_o same_o form_n they_o a_o little_a before_o separate_v from_o as_o antichristian_a and_o babylonish_n and_o the_o utmost_a they_o can_v say_v for_o their_o change_n be_v they_o be_v then_o persuade_v in_o their_o judgement_n that_o be_v the_o truth_n then_o and_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n now_o and_o do_v not_o babylon_n say_v the_o same_o good_a lord_n what_o a_o deep_a mystery_n be_v babylon_n yet_o to_o most_o saint_n and_o what_o dreadful_a
