of_o a_o manifest_a dangerous_a most_o abominable_a schism_n or_o rather_o apostasy_n this_o general_a and_o universal_a church_n though_o but_o one_o body_n be_v yet_o make_v up_o of_o several_a

it_o must_v be_v a_o very_a great_a sin_n to_o erect_v new_a church_n and_o separate_v in_o the_o act_n of_o prayer_n and_o sacrament_n from_o the_o body_n of_o a_o church_n and_o nation_n for_o so_o

never_o the_o less_o so_o in_o you_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o act_n of_o toleration_n which_o can_v nor_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o exempt_v you_o from_o the_o duty_n of_o conformity_n but_o only_o from_o the_o penalty_n of_o nonconformity_n your_o separation_n be_v not_o one_o jot_n the_o more_o reasonable_a or_o more_o just_a than_o it_o be_v before_o and_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o draw_v up_o of_o this_o paper_n seem_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o this_o in_o that_o they_o do_v not_o urge_v the_o plea_n of_o toleration_n but_o put_v their_o cause_n upon_o another_o issue_n viz._n the_o merit_n of_o it_o but_o however_o mr._n norris_n have_v clear_v this_o case_n in_o his_o charge_n of_o schism_n continue_v notwithstanding_o the_o toleration_n and_o now_o that_o i_o may_v be_v even_o with_o my_o gentleman_n for_o his_o idol-syllogism_n i_o sh●●●_n sum_n this_o whole_a matter_n in_o a_o syllogism_n all_o the_o part_n whereof_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v to_o be_v as_o true_a as_o that_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a and_o it_o run_v thus_o whoever_o separate_v from_o a_o church_n with_o which_o they_o may_v lawful_o communicate_v be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n but_o you_o separate_v from_o a_o church_n with_o which_o you_o may_v lawful_o communicate_v therefore_o you_o be_v guilty_a of_o schism_n or_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o that_o i_o shall_v put_v the_o argument_n into_o form_n in_o your_o own_o word_n it_o stand_v thus_o whoever_o be_v divide_v from_o the_o external_a communion_n of_o the_o true_a church_n be_v schismatik_n but_o you_o be_v divide_v from_o the_o external_a communion_n of_o the_o true_a church_n therefore_o you_o be_v schismatic_n the_o major_a or_o first_o of_o these_o proposition_n be_v your_o own_o the_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n be_v true_a also_o because_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o too_o sad_o apparent_a that_o you_o separate_v from_o external_a communion_n with_o she_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n and_o sacrament_n the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o true_a church_n whence_o the_o conclusion_n necessary_o follow_v that_o you_o be_v schismatic_n and_o if_o so_o than_o i_o beseech_v you_o lay_v to_o heart_n the_o word_n of_o mr._n ball_n one_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o judicious_a nonconformist_n before_o the_o

the_o disgrace_n of_o religion_n the_o advancement_n of_o pride_n schism_n and_o contention_n the_o offence_n of_o the_o weak_a the_o grief_n of_o the_o godly_a who_o be_v better_o settle_v the_o harden_v of_o the_o wicked_a and_o recovery_n or_o rise_v again_o of_o anti-christianism_a nay_o even_o persecute_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o his_o host_n which_o they_o revile_v in_o his_o

and_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v so_o direct_v we_o in_o choose_v our_o minister_n that_o we_o shall_v make_v choice_n of_o such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v eandeavour_v to_o keep_v with_o in_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o in_o particular_a the_o act_n of_o toleration_n and_o one_o i_o hope_v that_o will_v give_v no_o disturbance_n in_o the_o parish_n unless_o you_o will_v be_v disturb_v as_o i_o fear_v you_o be_v and_o have_v be_v for_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n you_o know_v such_o man_n there_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n these_o man_n say_v they_o do_v exceed_o trouble_v our_o city_n you_o know_v who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v accuse_v those_o who_o be_v the_o faithful_a ambassador_n of_o jesus_n christ_n reply_n i_o do_v not_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v care_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o minister_n there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o that_o as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v and_o i_o be_o not_o legal_o dispossess_v but_o if_o you_o must_v have_v another_o preacher_n who_o in_o your_o judgement_n be_v better_a qualify_v than_o i_o be_o i_o wish_v still_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o man_n of_o prudence_n and_o temper_n one_o that_o will_v strict_o confine_v himself_o within_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o act_n of_o toleration_n which_o restrain_v he_o whole_o to_o the_o meetinghouse_n where_o he_o be_v licence_v in_o the_o

and_o their_o own_o proper_a minister_n there_o be_v no_o toleration_n that_o i_o know_v of_o for_o these_o and_o the_o like_a practice_n to_o either_o he_o or_o any_o other_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o be_v good_a and_o kind_a advice_n both_o to_o you_o and_o he_o to_o keep_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o that_o act_n for_o fear_v a_o enquiry_n shall_v be_v make_v whether_o all_o such_o who_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o indulgence_n be_v not_o as_o liable_a to_o the_o law_n as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o but_o let_v he_o be_v as_o cautious_a as_o he_o will_v
