right_n in_o all_o point_n essential_a to_o christianity_n and_o in_o the_o certain_a way_n of_o life_n he_o may_v easy_o conclude_v that_o to_o be_v unwarrantable_a separation_n which_o go_v from_o

with_o their_o directory_n excuse_v their_o separate_n from_o the_o bishop_n and_o their_o comon-prayer_n and_o how_o will_v be_v salve_v his_o old_a nonconforming_a brethren_n flight_n into_o

it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o that_o separation_n be_v most_o lawful_a which_o be_v from_o such_o who_o call_v good_a evil_n and_o evil_a good_a put_v light_n for_o darkness_n and_o darkness_n for_o light_n as_o baxter_n and_o all_o the_o wicked_a do_v from_o who_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o these_o day_n separate_v and_o so_o in_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o our_o god_n who_o say_v come_v out_o of_o mystery_n babylon_n my_o people_n lest_o you_o partake_v of_o her_o sin_n and_o so_o of_o her_o plague_n we_o be_v justify_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o wicked_a who_o in_o word_n

be_v so_o far_o from_o amend_v that_o they_o persecute_v all_o that_o will_v not_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o themselves_o surely_n when_o the_o lord_n have_v spew_v out_o a_o people_n as_o he_o threaten_v

that_o fear_v god_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v offend_v at_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yea_o and_o all_o christian_n in_o those_o day_n because_o they_o can_v not_o worship_v with_o their_o

through_o all_o the_o trial_n and_o persecution_n of_o this_o world_n enter_v into_o god_n glory_n where_o none_o can_v come_v to_o make_v afraid_a but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o who_o through_o
