What if it be Imposed on the Church, to use a Translation of the Bible that hath some error in (And is there any without?) Must that Church needs be separated from? And yet the Church that used the same Voluntarily (and therefore more sinfully) is not to be separated from? What if erroneously it be imposed on the Church to meet at an inconvenient time or place? What if some flaw or error in Chronology on smaller-matters, were in their imposed Confession, which the Pastor erroneously subscribeth to? It seems an Infallible Imposing Church may be communicated with, and no other. But do you not know that there is a Ministerial as well as a Magistratical forcing Imposition? Every Pastor that speaketh as by Commission from Christ, Imposeth somewhat on the people! He Imposeth doctrine, and Method, and words in prayer, and times, places, utensils, orders, metres, tunes, as aforesaid. Must all these be separated from (that is almost all the Pastors in the World;) And is there no remedy?
