XLIX. 13. It's a common case under Turks and Heathens, that they give liberty of Conscience for Christians of all parties: Now suppose that in Aleppo, in Constantinople or elsewhere, there be (partly for Country sake and partly for Language, but most for different Judgments) one Church of Armenians, one of Greeks, one of English-men, &c. what Law of God makes only one of these to be a true Church, and which is it?

LI. I omit other instances, and come to the matter of Separation, which word serveth this man and such other in so general and undistinguished a sense, as would make one think he were of Mr. Dodwell's mind, That words in dispute have but one signification, which all are bound to know that use them. Even a Bell by the same sound sometime signifieth a call to Church, and sometime a Funeral, and sometime Joy; but [Separate, Separate] is rung over and over with these men, as if it signified but one thing.
