3. That many that separate, secundum quid, or ⟨p. 81⟩pro tempore, from some part of Worship only and for a season, yet separate not simply from the Churches as no Churches, nor would do all as they do, in othe• circumstances. For instance, when they come not to the public Assemblies, yet they will not refuse you, if you will come to theirs. Go to their meetings, and see if they so far separate, as to forbid you? Nor perhaps to their Sacraments, if you will submit to their way, as you expect they should do by yours. Now seeing we are all agreed, that the Magistrate doth not make Ministers, Churches (or Sacraments,) but only encourage, protect and rule them, I desire you but to be so impartial as to consider that 1. You count not your selves Separatists, because you never go to one of their Meetings in their houses or other places; Why then should you call them Separatists, only for not coming to yours? 2. But if they are guilty of Separation for holding either that your Churches and Ministry are Null, or that Communion with you is unlawful by Gods Law, enquire how far you also are Separatists, if you say the same without proof by any others, (Though their lawfulness by the Law of the Land, I justify not, no nor the regularity of their Church Assemblies.)
