1.18_o and_o that_o he_o walk_v with_o we_o we_o argue_v because_o he_o be_v still_o please_v to_o dispense_v to_o we_o the_o word_n of_o life_n and_o edify_v many_o soul_n thereby_o and_o therefore_o sure_o christ_n have_v fellowship_n and_o shall_v man_n be_v more_o pure_a than_o his_o maker_n where_o christ_n vouch_v save_v fellowship_n shall_v man_n renounce_v it_o if_o they_o be_v convert_v where_o have_v they_o their_o conversion_n 2_o have_v not_o many_o of_o god_n servant_n heretofore_o keep_v company_n with_o church_n as_o corrupt_v as_o we_o be_v do_v not_o peter_n and_o john_n keep_v company_n with_o they_o and_o shall_v they_o be_v more_o pure_a and_o curious_a 3_o christ_n command_v if_o thy_o brother_n offend_v admonish_v he_o matth._n 18.17_o if_o he_o hear_v thou_o not_o take_v two_o or_o three_o more_o if_o he_o hear_v not_o they_o then_o tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o hear_v not_o the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o as_o a_o heathen_a or_o publican_n but_o if_o the_o church_n hear_v not_o thy_o complaint_n he_o do_v not_o say_v let_v the_o church_n be_v as_o a_o heathen_a or_o publican_n now_o there_o be_v many_o of_o our_o separatist_n never_o admonish_v their_o brethren_n nor_o make_v their_o complaint_n to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o they_o do_v and_o the_o church_n hear_v they_o not_o must_v they_o therefore_o excommunicate_v the_o church_n and_o renounce_v it_o therefore_o unless_o you_o find_v in_o it_o blasphemy_n or_o idolatry_n or_o persecution_n there_o be_v no_o just_a ground_n of_o separation_n therefore_o this_o sin_n be_v very_o dangerous_a it_o draw_v man_n from_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n 1_o they_o say_v our_o worship_n be_v corrupt_a 2_o our_o government_n be_v antichristian_a for_o the_o first_o you_o can_v maintain_v it_o for_o in_o sundry_a congregation_n you_o shall_v not_o find_v much_o corruption_n as_o for_o read_v of_o prayer_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o read_v psalm_n why_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o read_v prayer_n therefore_o that_o be_v no_o just_a ground_n it_o be_v that_o which_o all_o protestant_a church_n have_v use_v 2_o suppose_v there_o be_v and_o be_v sundry_a abuse_n in_o the_o church_n yet_o that_o be_v no_o safe_a ground_n of_o separation_n ezek._n 5.11_o ezek._n 9.4_o so_o when_o the_o son_n of_o eli_n corrupt_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n their_o sin_n be_v great_a yet_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o the_o people_n to_o separate_v and_o abhor_v 1_o sam._n 2.17_o 2_o they_o say_v our_o government_n be_v antichristian_a we_o say_v it_o be_v that_o government_n that_o expel_v antichrist_n sometime_o and_o sundry_a have_v witness_v it_o with_o their_o blood_n and_o i_o say_v further_o there_o be_v no_o such_o corruption_n in_o our_o state_n as_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n when_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n keep_v fellowship_n with_o they_o as_o two_o high_a priest_n etc._n etc._n 3_o they_o say_v our_o ministry_n and_o call_v be_v antichristian_a we_o say_v we_o do_v not_o profess_v ourselves_o enemy_n to_o christ_n and_o for_o our_o calling_n many_o of_o we_o be_v elect_v by_o the_o people_n approbation_n or_o by_o such_o as_o be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o king_n and_o state_n and_o if_o god_n bless_v our_o ministry_n to_o convert_v thousand_o to_o god_n by_o that_o mean_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n god_n approve_v our_o call_v for_o if_o it_o be_v antichristian_a they_o will_v not_o convert_v soul_n to_o god_n 4_o they_o say_v our_o people_n be_v corrupt_a and_o some_o such_o as_o paul_n bid_v not_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o 1_o cor._n 5.11_o as_o drunkard_n whoremonger_n and_o therefore_o you_o see_v what_o evil_a such_o do_v they_o make_v god_n people_n abhor_v the_o offering_n and_o break_v off_o from_o fellowship_n with_o you_o we_o can_v deny_v but_o there_o be_v very_o many_o corrupt_a and_o scandalous_a person_n in_o our_o church_n but_o private_a christian_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o root_v they_o out_o 1_o for_o minister_n if_o they_o see_v that_o it_o will_v turn_v to_o the_o dissipation_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o f●ock_n it_o be_v better_a to_o forbear_v 1_o cor._n 5._o mat._n 13.29_o 30._o ezra_n 4.20_o they_o cease_v from_o build_v the_o temple_n when_o there_o come_v a_o command_n against_o it_o therefore_o they_o have_v better_o forbear_v when_o it_o can_v be_v redress_v without_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o church_n 2_o the_o corruption_n of_o such_o do_v not_o corrupt_v the_o church_n or_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o not_o to_o the_o whole_a congregation_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v many_o church_n as_o corrupt_v as_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n yet_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v they_o renounce_v it_o last_o they_o say_v we_o be_v never_o true_o constitute_v our_o church_n have_v no_o true_a constitution_n a._n that_o constitution_n which_o they_o themselves_o require_v have_v not_o be_v want_v in_o we_o 1_o they_o say_v there_o must_v be_v enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n that_o be_v do_v in_o king_n edward_n and_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n and_o whereas_o they_o say_v our_o church_n be_v but_o a_o parliament_n constitution_n that_o do_v not_o weaken_v but_o establish_v our_o church_n 2_o but_o they_o say_v that_o our_o church_n consist_v of_o a_o mix_a multitude_n so_o be_v that_o 2_o chron._n 20.13_o when_o jehosaephat_n assemble_v all_o judah_n before_o the_o lord_n num._n 11.4_o there_o be_v a_o mix_a multitude_n and_o they_o do_v it_o out_o of_o fear_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o so_o be_v we_o though_o there_o be_v a_o mix_a multitude_n and_o yet_o this_o fall_a off_o because_o it_o be_v not_o from_o the_o main_a doctrine_n but_o from_o the_o skirt_n and_o some_o circumstantial_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o fall_v utter_o from_o christ_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o they_o weaken_v their_o faith_n 3_o this_o refute_v the_o anabaptist_n that_o fall_v off_o from_o our_o church_n because_o we_o baptize_v infant_n before_o they_o come_v to_o knowledge_n 1_o we_o say_v though_o there_o be_v no_o baptism_n it_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o make_v it_o no_o church_n as_o israel_n in_o egypt_n without_o circumcision_n 2_o we_o say_v our_o child_n have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o baptism_n as_o isaac_n to_o circumcision_n but_o they_o be_v circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n and_o if_o the_o covenant_n belong_v to_o they_o than_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n act._n 2.39_o mark_v 10._o use_v 4._o last_o it_o may_v teach_v we_o all_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o antichristianisme_n to_o withdraw_v from_o the_o church_n than_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o true_a christianity_n to_o stick_v close_o to_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o love_n in_o christian_a duty_n in_o admonishiog_n one_o another_o in_o counsel_v in_o comfort_v in_o reprove_v one_o another_o therefore_o take_v heed_n you_o forsake_v not_o this_o fellowship_n for_o so_o you_o lose_v your_o grace_n and_o strength_n if_o you_o sit_v loose_a from_o they_o they_o that_o follow_v lie_v vanity_n forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n all_o that_o ointment_n that_o be_v pour_v on_o christ_n head_n descends_z to_o the_o low_a skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n psal_n 133._o to_o the_o mean_a christian_n therefore_o if_o you_o sit_v loose_a from_o christ_n and_o his_o member_n how_o can_v you_o look_v for_o any_o drop_n of_o his_o oil_n the_o valley_n receive_v the_o shower_n from_o the_o mountain_n there_o god_n have_v command_v a_o blessing_n and_o it_o come_v with_o power_n and_o authority_n a_o man_n that_o get_v a_o blessing_n any_o where_o else_o get_v it_o but_o precario_fw-la and_o as_o it_o be_v by_o stealth_n but_o in_o public_a communion_n god_n have_v command_v a_o blessing_n now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o last_o point_n the_o end_n of_o the_o depart_n of_o these_o man_n out_o of_o the_o church_n they_o go_v out_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v they_o be_v not_o all_o of_o we_o who_o end_n be_v this_o who_o propound_v this_o end_n it_o be_v not_o their_o intention_n to_o manifest_v themselves_o not_o to_o be_v of_o the_o church_n but_o all_o heretic_n pretend_v that_o they_o aim_v at_o a_o better_a church_n they_o never_o intend_v it_o to_o manifest_v themselves_o to_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o church_n neither_o be_v it_o the_o end_n of_o the_o church_n the_o church_n do_v not_o cast_v they_o out_o but_o it_o be_v voluntary_a defection_n they_o go_v out_o of_o themselves_o therefore_o the_o church_n do_v not_o look_v at_o that_o end_n who_o end_n be_v it_o then_o sure_o it_o be_v god_n end_n who_o overrule_v their_o apostasy_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o church_n when_o he_o see_v they_o warp_v from_o the_o
