or_o with_o any_o of_o the_o member_n thereof_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n christ_n require_v separation_n in_o worship_n not_o in_o part_n but_o whole_o both_o from_o person_n and_o thing_n pollute_v with_o diabolical_a uncleanness_n and_o to_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o to_o perfect_a holiness_n in_o his_o fear_n which_o be_v the_o

i_o samuel_n chidley_n 13_o day_n of_o the_o 6_o month_n 1648._o upon_o the_o 22._o of_o august_n 1648._o the_o meeting_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v unto_o which_o divers_a person_n come_v at_o which_o mr._n chidley_n will_v have_v insist_v upon_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n etc._n etc._n and_o first_o upon_o the_o matter_n but_o mr._n goodwin_n will_v not_o debate_v that_o nor_o other_o thing_n there_o desire_v to_o be_v handle_v but_o say_v he_o will_v go_v a_o ready_a way_n to_o work_v and_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o business_n without_o that_o for_o say_v he_o suppose_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o all_o our_o matter_n be_v so_o corrupt_a as_o you_o presuppose_v it_o be_v yet_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o your_o member_n to_o communicate_v with_o we_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o communicate_v with_o one_o who_o he_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n or_o not_o but_o this_o be_v deny_v by_o mr._n chidley_n from_o two_o consideration_n first_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v doubtful_a be_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a because_o it_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o a_o sin_n because_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n second_o much_o more_o be_v he_o to_o forbear_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o to_o communicate_v with_o one_o of_o who_o we_o have_v not_o good_a testimony_n of_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o that_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n be_v wrought_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o be_v effectual_o call_v and_o separate_v from_o idolatry_n and_o cleave_v unto_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n in_o purity_n now_o say_v he_o we_o know_v you_o not_o you_o be_v stranger_n to_o we_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o accuse_v but_o to_o hear_v your_o manifestation_n for_o our_o satisfaction_n that_o you_o be_v fit_a matter_n for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v not_o break_v communion_n for_o every_o circumstance_n of_o difference_n among_o we_o if_o it_o do_v not_o make_v against_o the_o abosolute_a being_n of_o a_o saint_n then_o mr._n goodwin_n say_v i_o grant_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o practise_v a_o thing_n if_o he_o be_v doubtful_a of_o it_o but_o howsoever_o he_o that_o be_v doubtful_a be_v to_o give_v good_a reason_n of_o his_o doubt_n then_o the_o gentleman_n that_o doubt_v be_v call_v upon_o to_o give_v his_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v not_o communicate_v with_o his_o wife_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v he_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o he_o be_v join_v to_o a_o separate_a congregation_n and_o think_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v fit_a matter_n for_o the_o church_n to_o communicate_v with_o if_o he_o shall_v hold_v communion_n with_o the_o member_n of_o mr._n goodwin_n church_n because_o mr._n goodwin_n people_n practice_n be_v to_o preach_v and_o hear_v in_o the_o parrish-churche_n of_o england_n and_o to_o worship_n in_o the_o idol_n temple_n and_o to_o baptise_v the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n and_o such_o like_a then_o after_o some_o further_a discourse_n they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o debate_v the_o business_n concerning_o the_o high_a place_n whereupon_o the_o question_n be_v state_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o worship_v in_o the_o idol_n temple_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o conference_n brief_o follow_v goodwin_n the_o apostle_n to_o timothy_n tim._n 2._o 8._o say_v i_o will_v therefore_o that_o man_n pray_v everywhere_o lift_v up_o holy_a hand_n without_o wrath_n and_o doubt_v and_o thereupon_o mr._n goodwin_n argue_v that_o god_n word_n have_v make_v no_o restriction_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o restrain_v it_o and_o that_o therefore_o this_o word_n everywhere_o in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o all_o manner_n of_o place_n without_o exception_n to_o which_o mr._n chidley_n answer_v that_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v restriction_n show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o worship_v he_o in_o idol_n temple_n for_o he_o have_v command_v they_o to_o be_v quite_o pull_v down_o numb._n 33._o 52._o and_o that_o command_n be_v not_o take_v away_o but_o remain_v in_o full_a force_n to_o this_o day_n this_o word_n every_o in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v restrain_v as_o in_o other_o place_n where_o it_o be_v say_v child_n obey_v your_o parent_n in_o all_o thing_n col._n 3._o 20._o servant_n obey_v your_o master_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a in_o all_o which_o we_o be_v to_o know_v how_o far_o such_o word_n be_v restrain_v and_o how_o far_o not_o it_o extend_v and_o be_v to_o be_v restrain_v to_o lawful_a thing_n and_o so_o this_o place_n where_o he_o say_v pray_v everywhere_o that_o be_v in_o every_o place_n which_o be_v not_o prohibit_v by_o god_n law_n but_o it_o be_v prohibit_v by_o god_n law_n for_o the_o saint_n to_o worship_n in_o idol_n temple_n for_o he_o have_v command_v they_o shall_v be_v quite_o pluck_v down_o say_v you_o shall_v quite_o pluck_v down_o all_o their_o high_a place_n numb._n 33._o 52._o because_o they_o be_v pollute_v with_o diabolical_a uncleanness_n now_o this_o command_n be_v never_o abrogate_a as_o i_o say_v before_o but_o mr._n goodwin_n say_v there_o be_v no_o guilt_n of_o sin_n upon_o the_o high_a place_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o sin_n impute_v to_o they_o but_o its_o a_o sin_n to_o hold_v restriction_n of_o place_n for_o god_n worship_n to_o which_o mr._n chidley_n answer_v that_o god_n account_v they_o diabolical_o unclean_a and_o call_v they_o by_o the_o name_n of_o sin_n itself_o as_o he_o call_v the_o high_a place_n of_o aven_n the_o sin_n of_o israel_n hosea_n 10._o 8._o and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o hold_v restriction_n of_o place_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n than_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o uphold_v that_o restriction_n by_o worship_v god_n in_o those_o place_n that_o be_v so_o restrain_v it_o be_v you_o that_o uphold_v distinction_n of_o place_n say_v mr._n goodwin_n not_o we_o who_o meet_v in_o they_o we_o hold_v all_o place_n alike_o mr._n chidley_n answer_v again_o we_o uphold_v not_o the_o distinction_n of_o place_n but_o it_o be_v you_o by_o your_o worship_v and_o plead_v for_o those_o place_n that_o be_v restrain_v by_o man_n say_v mr._n goodwin_n even_o now_o you_o will_v maintain_v distinction_n of_o place_n and_o now_o you_o say_v you_o uphold_v no_o distinction_n of_o place_n mr._n chidley_n say_v its_o true_a in_o a_o sense_n we_o uphold_v they_o not_o at_o all_o but_o when_o they_o have_v set_v up_o idol_n temple_n we_o do_v hold_v that_o those_o place_n be_v make_v diabolical_a by_o they_o because_o wicked_a man_n have_v dedicate_v they_o to_o their_o idol_n no_o more_o do_v god_n himself_o in_o the_o first_o place_n make_v such_o distinction_n of_o place_n as_o they_o make_v but_o when_o once_o they_o have_v put_v
