not_o only_o not_o unlawful_a but_o perhaps_o which_o be_v no_o way_n differ_v from_o what_o christ_n himself_o require_v the_o first_o query_n here_o be_v upon_o supposition_n that_o you_o will_v

it_o be_v not_o the_o duty_n of_o every_o one_o though_o a_o license_a stranger_n to_o communicate_v with_o this_o church_n now_o to_o avoid_v the_o question_n here_o you_o have_v a_o pretty_a

so_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o other_o to_o which_o we_o may_v have_v former_o belong_v ●5_n especial_o since_o they_o can_v meet_v with_o the_o mother-church_n in_o france_n for_o act_n of_o

ready_a to_o communicate_v with_o any_o true_a church_n where_o distance_n do_v not_o hinder_v that_o a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o constant_a communion_n with_o that_o church_n but_o may_v occasional_o communicate_v with_o the_o french_a church_n nay_o with_o dissenter_n too_o if_o he_o believe_v that_o any_o of_o their_o congregation_n be_v a_o true_a

what_o you_o yourself_o say_v that_o the_o place_n do_v not_o determine_v my_o communion_n with_o a_o sound_a church_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o ordinary_o you_o distinguish_v between_o a_o state_n
