out_o against_o division_n when_o your_o heart_n be_v thus_o divide_v from_o god_n and_o his_o servant_n you_o must_v learn_v to_o love_v they_o with_o a_o special_a love_n and_o christ_n in_o they_o before_o you_o can_v be_v unite_v with_o they_o 14._o there_o be_v no_o unity_n to_o be_v have_v without_o a_o love_n to_o the_o body_n that_o you_o be_v unite_v to_o you_o must_v love_v the_o

nay_o many_o of_o they_o be_v glad_a when_o they_o hear_v of_o any_o evil_a befall_v the_o godly_a 15._o there_o be_v no_o true_a unity_n without_o a_o singular_a respect_n to_o the_o special_a

church_n you_o must_v have_v a_o love_n to_o the_o holy_a ordinance_n which_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o communion_n as_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n hear_v and_o read_v to_o prayer_n sacrament_n

you_o will_v join_v in_o a_o defensive_a and_o offensive_a league_n and_o in_o a_o opposition_n to_o that_o which_o will_v tend_v to_o our_o destruction_n what_o commonwealth_n will_v unite_n with_o they_o that_o defend_v their_o enemy_n and_o rebel_n there_o be_v a_o enmity_n put_v in_o the_o begin_n between_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o of_o the_o serpent_n gen._n 3.15_o because_o we_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v hate_v we_o john_n 15.19_o if_o you_o will_v be_v unite_v to_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o christ_n you_o must_v be_v at_o enmity_n

you_o must_v fight_v against_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o live_v in_o friendship_n with_o they_o but_o this_o the_o unsanctified_a will_v not_o do_v 20._o and_o therefore_o because_o you_o will_v not_o be_v unite_v to_o they_o in_o the_o state_n and_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n you_o shall_v not_o be_v unite_v with_o they_o in_o the_o state_n and_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v make_v it_o plain_a to_o you_o that_o none_o can_v have_v true_a union_n with_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o

7.25_o why_o have_v thou_o trouble_v we_o the_o lord_n shall_v trouble_v thou_o this_o day_n so_o i_o may_v say_v to_o all_o the_o ungodly_a why_o trouble_v you_o the_o church_n and_o hinder_v unity_n

and_o moderation_n and_o at_o the_o worst_a our_o agreement_n will_v be_v great_a than_o our_o disagreement_n but_o when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o hater_n of_o holiness_n or_o at_o least_o with_o man_n that_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o sanctify_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o have_v predominant_a pride_n and_o selfishness_n and_o covetousness_n to_o strive_v against_o we_o have_v
