A man doth totally depart from God Objective, when he doth depart from all the truths and wayes of God, and turns Heathen.
But Subjective, a man doth totally depart from God, when he doth with his whole heart and soul depart from the Lord, though he may keep many truths; as a man that breaks in his outward estate, he may keep some thing, and yet be broken: So spiritually, a man may break and depart from God, and yet may keep many truths.
