unless_o it_o be_v to_o laughter_n where_o be_v their_o church_n before_o hezekiah_n in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o among_o the_o same_o people_n and_o it_o be_v still_o the_o very_a selfsame_a

the_o modern_a rabshakeh_n cease_v to_o upbraid_v we_o with_o such_o know_a petty_a cavil_n our_o church_n be_v no_o more_o invisible_a than_o that_o of_o judah_n and_o may_v as_o well_o be_v before_o luther_n be_v as_o they_o before_o hezekiah_n second_o they_o tax_v we_o of_o schism_n which_o be_v questionless_a a_o great_a sin_n be_v in_o frequent_a text_n very_o sharp_o condemn_v in_o scripture_n it_o be_v then_o commit_v when_o there_o be_v a_o scissure_n a_o breach_n a_o uncharitable_a division_n make_v betwixt_o those_o man_n especial_o which_o in_o point_n of_o religion_n be_v once_o join_v and_o link_v together_o so_o that_o be_v this_o rupture_n be_v there_o be_v sin_n without_o doubt_n all_o the_o question_n be_v on_o which_o side_n the_o crime_n must_v lie_v sometime_o it_o may_v lie_v on_o both_o but_o it_o ever_o lie_v on_o he_o that_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o division_n not_o ever_o on_o he_o that_o divide_v abraham_n do_v divide_v from_o his_o idolatrous_a kindred_n and_o so_o do_v st._n paul_n from_o his_o old_a friend_n the_o jew_n the_o orthodox_n christian_n be_v force_v to_o do_v the_o like_a when_o arrianism_n do_v prevail_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o these_o rabshakeh_n themselves_o neither_o abraham_n not_o st._n paul_n nor_o those_o old_a christian_n be_v schismatical_a thus_o when_o hezekiah_n once_o have_v reform_v the_o church_n of_o judea_n no_o man_n can_v think_v a_o conscientious_a jew_n will_v at_o all_o communicate_v in_o the_o service_n of_o these_o high_a place_n he_o do_v divide_v from_o it_o without_o doubt_n although_o before_o either_o by_o custom_n or_o ignorance_n or_o the_o like_a he_o do_v it_o frequent_o without_o scruple_n and_o yet_o may_v such_o a_o jew_n be_v hold_v guilty_a of_o schism_n no_o more_o sure_a than_o hezekiah_n who_o both_o do_v and_o enjoin_v the_o like_a and_o yet_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o history_n here_o do_v in_o express_a term_n commend_v he_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o commend_v he_o as_o much_o for_o reform_v the_o church_n as_o he_o do_v for_o be_v like_o david_n so_o that_o to_o tax_v he_o be_v indeed_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n commend_v a_o schismatic_a himself_o for_o the_o very_a act_n of_o his_o schism_n thus_o than_o they_o be_v not_o still_o they_o who_o divide_v but_o they_o who_o give_v or_o continue_v the_o just_a cause_n of_o division_n who_o be_v guilty_a of_o that_o sin_n we_o speak_v of_o but_o yet_o since_o in_o church-controversy_n it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o judge_n what_o make_v that_o just_a cause_n i_o name_v and_o that_o no_o wise_a man_n can_v think_v it_o fit_v it_o shall_v be_v leave_v to_o each_o private_a judgement_n since_o in_o such_o division_n as_o these_o man_n be_v extreme_o apt_a to_o forget_v all_o bond_n of_o peace_n and_o for_o possession_n sometime_o of_o a_o little_a suppose_a truth_n quit_v indeed_o their_o whole_a estate_n of_o charity_n therefore_o the_o ancient_n do_v oft_o define_v schism_n by_o these_o two_o grand_a note_n or_o character_n first_o when_o man_n make_v division_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n against_o the_o consent_n of_o their_o lawful_a pastor_n it_o be_v so_o define_v by_o st._n cyprian_n and_o st._n jerom_n and_o other_o second_o when_o man_n cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n catholic_n and_o so_o damn_v to_o hell_n all_o that_o hold_v not_o their_o opinion_n and_o this_o st._n austin_n do_v oft_o time_n call_v schism_n in_o the_o donatist_n and_o now_o take_v schism_n in_o what_o sense_n under_o what_o note_n you_o please_v our_o mother_n church_n be_v guiltless_a of_o that_o imputation_n first_o take_v it_o for_o a_o division_n in_o god_n public_a service_n she_o do_v no_o more_o in_o that_o point_n than_o what_o be_v here_o do_v by_o hezekiah_n since_o she_o have_v as_o clear_a text_n and_o so_o as_o just_a cause_n to_o give_v the_o cup_n to_o the_o people_n to_o turn_v their_o devotion_n into_o a_o language_n they_o understand_v as_o this_o king_n here_o have_v to_o bring_v the_o jew_n from_o their_o old_a mass_n in_o high_a place_n unto_o that_o one_o altar_n at_o jerusalem_n nay_o the_o cause_n we_o have_v be_v more_o just_a than_o that_o of_o judah_n because_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o western_a church_n be_v all_o back_v by_o tyranny_n man_n be_v constrain_v into_o error_n when_o yet_o we_o read_v not_o at_o all_o that_o if_o a_o pious_a jew_n will_v have_v keep_v himself_o unto_o that_o one_o altar_n at_o jerusalem_n he_o be_v either_o check_v by_o their_o king_n or_o oppress_v by_o their_o priest_n or_o condemn_v to_o tophet_n by_o their_o sanhedrim_n second_o take_v schism_n for_o a_o opposition_n make_v against_o our_o lawful_a pastor_n and_o our_o church_n you_o will_v find_v be_v not_o guilty_a in_o this_o matter_n neither_o for_o at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o reformation_n be_v make_v we_o be_v under_o our_o own_o synod_n only_o and_o with_o what_o readiness_n they_o join_v in_o this_o grand_a work_n you_o have_v hear_v in_o my_o second_o general_n it_o be_v true_a that_o for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n we_o have_v be_v under_o a_o know_a foreign_a power_n but_o yet_o such_o a_o power_n as_o come_v not_o among_o we_o but_o by_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o great_a general_n council_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o last_o canon_n of_o the_o first_o of_o ephesus_n a_o power_n i_o say_v patriarchal_a and_o so_o mere_o of_o ecclesiastical_a right_n not_o of_o divine_a institution_n a_o power_n which_o in_o
