that_o those_o that_o dwell_v in_o god_n must_v be_v condemn_v of_o deep_a prejudice_n for_o not_o conformity_n to_o it_o what_o will_v not_o that_o spirit_n that_o climb_v over_o the_o door_n and_o

be_v by_o the_o sinful_a parish_n of_o england_n and_o elsewhere_o disdain_v and_o scornful_o call_v quaker_n be_v not_o separate_v from_o they_o because_o of_o any_o prejudice_n or_o the_o like_a against_o they_o but_o god_n who_o by_o his_o everlasting_a light_n of_o truth_n have_v show_v we_o the_o evil_a of_o their_o do_n and_o of_o our_o own_o when_o we_o worship_v we_o know_v not_o what_o among_o they_o he_o i_o say_v have_v separate_v we_o from_o they_o and_o join_v we_o to_o himself_o in_o christ_n jesus_n where_o with_o he_o our_o dwelling_n be_v indeed_o though_o bryan_n think_v not_o so_o praise_v be_v the_o name_n of_o our_o most_o holy_a lord_n god_n for_o evermore_o and_o so_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o to_o examine_v whether_o our_o separation_n be_v sinful_a or_o nay_o for_o that_o be_v do_v and_o we_o do_v know_v it_o to_o be_v good_a according_a to_o the_o good_a word_n from_o the_o beginning_n most_o certain_o and_o so_o the_o offence_n which_o the_o parish-worshipper_n take_v be_v offence_n without_o all_o cause_n on_o our_o part_n give_v and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o unbeliever_n take_v in_o all_o generation_n against_o they_o 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

for_o their_o separation_n then_o as_o they_o do_v we_o at_o this_o day_n and_o so_o the_o reproach_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o we_o great_a riches_n and_o the_o persecutor_n god_n will_v examine_v and_o judge_v and_o as_o moses_n do_v choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n then_o to_o enjoy_v egypt_n glory_n for_o a_o season_n so_o bless_v be_v all_o that_o with_o we_o be_v persuade_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o follow_v the_o lamb_n wheresoever_o he_o go_v not_o hee_v what_o the_o wicked_a say_v or_o judge_v of_o they_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v look_v at_o jesus_n the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n who_o for_o the_o joy_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o endure_v the_o cross_n and_o despise_v the_o shame_n and_o so_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 prejudice_n as_o this_o bryan_n speak_v and_o not_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o parish-worship_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o such_o to_o see_v to_o themselves_o and_o consider_v lest_o their_o return_n be_v as_o shameful_a as_o their_o separation_n be_v sinful_a like_o this_o bryan_n and_o baxter_n who_o it_o seem_v all_o this_o while_n have_v be_v no_o

follower_n of_o such_o man_n be_v at_o present_v more_o averse_a from_o join_v with_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o time_n than_o your_o hearer_n be_v as_o baxter_n say_v yet_o if_o you_o grow_v
