reform_a church_n ever_o deny_v this_o to_o the_o romanist_n but_o the_o communion_n here_o treat_v of_o be_v ecclesiastical_a and_o consist_v not_o only_o in_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o such_o as_o be_v communicate_v with_o to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n of_o christ_n build_v upon_o a_o right_a foundation_n and_o hold_v either_o no_o error_n or_o such_o as_o do_v not_o overthrow_v the_o fundamental_o but_o in_o resort_v to_o the_o same_o church_n assembly_n and_o celebrate_v devout_o the_o same_o office_n or_o prayer_n ceremony_n and_o sacrament_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v interchangeable_o so_o that_o each_o upon_o occasion_n resort_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o the_o other_o &_o join_v in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o same_o liturgy_n or_o public_a prayer_n &_o participation_n of_o the_o same_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v more_o particular_o term_v the_o communion_n &_o be_v always_o account_v the_o tessera_fw-la or_o mark_v of_o church-fellowship_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o observation_n appear_v from_o that_o notion_n which_o all_o age_n have_v have_v of_o church-communion_n which_o be_v agreeable_a hereunto_o to_o own_o any_o number_n or_o association_n of_o man_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n catholic_a and_o yet_o not_o to_o resort_v to_o the_o same_o religious_a office_n amount_v not_o to_o church-communion_n since_o all_o excommunication_n cut_v not_o off_o from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o from_o outward_a or_o exterior_a communion_n with_o a_o visible_a church_n thus_o when_o chrysostome_n separate_v himself_o from_o the_o follower_n of_o meletius_n and_o of_o paulinus_n though_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v both_o church_n to_o be_v orthodox_n yet_o be_v it_o say_v that_o he_o

and_o office_n of_o another_o church_n if_o so_o be_v he_o do_v it_o not_o upon_o a_o religious_a account_n nor_o devout_o join_v therewith_o thus_o when_o elijah_n be_v present_a at_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o worship_n of_o baal_n he_o do_v not_o communicate_v with_o those_o idolater_n 1_o king_n 18.26_o 27._o thus_o lyranus_fw-la cajetanus_n and_o other_o casuist_n excuse_v naaman_n for_o bow_v upon_o a_o civil_a account_n in_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n 24._o and_o allow_v the_o case_n of_o a_o christian_a slave_n which_o wait_v on_o her_o mistress_n to_o the_o sarracen_n worship_n and_o bear_v up_o her_o train_n but_o do_v not_o join_v in_o the_o mahometan_a service_n thus_o the_o protestant_a divine_n as_o sleidan_n 52._o and_o the_o history_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n inform_v we_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o protestant_a prince_n to_o pay_v a_o civil_a attendance_n on_o the_o german_a emperor_n even_o at_o mass_n in_o the_o royal_a chapel_n these_o thing_n therefore_o amount_v not_o unto_o church-communion_n but_o the_o join_v religious_o in_o the_o same_o church-worship_n per●on_n and_o particular_o in_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n together_o and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v interchangeable_o for_o otherwise_o only_o the_o one_o side_n can_v be_v say_v to_o communicate_v with_o the_o other_o not_o vice_n versâ_fw-la thus_o when_o the_o papist_n do_v resort_n to_o our_o church_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o qu._n elizabeth_n and_o join_v in_o the_o same_o prayer_n and_o participation_n of_o sacrament_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o may_v just_o be_v say_v that_o they_o do_v hold_v communion_n with_o we_o but_o since_o the_o law_n then_o in_o force_n do_v prohibit_v the_o protestant_n to_o be_v present_a at_o or_o join_v in_o any_o public_a service_n or_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n where_o other_o ceremony_n then_o what_o be_v enact_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n uniformity_n shall_v be_v use_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v not_o communicate_v with_o the_o papist_n the_o second_o observation_n be_v that_o our_o historian_n in_o this_o paragraph_n do_v make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n communion_n and_o respect_n as_o equipollent_a and_o synonymous_n otherwise_o there_o be_v no_o apodosis_n no_o sense_n in_o the_o say_n some_o of_o they_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o forbear_v all_o communion_n with_o they_o and_o will_v not_o give_v they_o that_o respect_n which_o possible_o may_v belong_v to_o so_o ancient_a &_o so_o famous_a a_o church_n if_o respect_n be_v a_o term_n of_o a_o lesser_a import_n than_o communion_n then_o may_v those_o reform_a church_n decline_v all_o exterior_a communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n just_o and_o without_o blame_n and_o yet_o retain_v a_o respect_n and_o kindness_n such_o as_o christian_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o bear_v to_o the_o excommunicate_a to_o the_o heathen_n and_o publican_n and_o in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o superstition_n though_o in_o this_o exterior_a communion_n there_o be_v evident_a peril_n not_o only_o of_o superstition_n but_o idolatry_n 1._o these_o thing_n be_v premise_v my_o first_o animadversion_n shall_v be_v that_o the_o comparison_n betwixt_o man_n deny_v to_o such_o as_o usurp_v too_o much_o even_o their_o due_a right_n and_o those_o that_o separate_v in_o case_n of_o religious_a usurpation_n be_v so_o carry_v on_o by_o the_o historian_n that_o to_o forbear_v all_o communion_n with_o
