For
they
do

he
that

doth

And
who

he
that

doth

Who

which

All
that
can
be
inferred
is
,
that
we
should
avoid
needless
familiarity
with
the
wicked
,
and
all
s
ciety
in
sin
:
To
keep
them
from
the
Sacrament
if
we
can
.
But
if
it
be
not
in
our
Power
;
not
to
omit
the
Sacrament
,
because
they
partake
of
it
.
And
they
which
are
the
Temples
of
the
living
God
,
and
in
the
midst
of
a
crooked
and
perverse
Generation
appear
as
lights
in
the
world
,
having
the
word
of
life
;
nothing
doth
infect
them
,
which
they
tolerate
for
Vnities
sake
;
nor
are
they
pent
up
in
any
straight
,
because
God
doth
dwell
in
them
and
walk
in
them
.
And
they
depart
in
the
mean
time
out
of
the
evil
,
and
are
separate
,
at
least
,
in
heart
;
lest
haply
while
they
would
separate
by
the
sedition
of
Schism
,
they
should
rather
be
spiritually
separated
from
the
good
,
than
carporally
from
the
bad
.
There
appears
neither
a
deceitful
nor
doubtful
face
of
a
Church
:
Of
which
no
man
may
either
despise
the
Authority
,
or
refuse
the
Admonitions
,
or
resist
the
Counsels
,
or
mock
at
the
Corrections
;
much
less
from
it
,

,
and

faults
.
light

one
thing
to
shun
the
private
company
of
a
wicked
man
;
and
another
for
hatred
of
such
to
forsake
the
Communion
of
the
whole
Church
:
although
this
temptation
to
forsake
the
Church
may
by
an
indiscreet
zeal
of
righteousness
,
enter
into
the
thought
of
a
good
man
;
yet
we
shall
find
that
too
much
preciseness
grows
rather
out
of
Pride
,
Disdainfulness
,
and
false
Opinion
of
holiness
;
than
of
true
holiness
and
true
zeal
thereof
.
if
we
deny
communion
with
such
a
Church
as
ours
,
there
hath
been
no
Church
these
years
with
which
a
Christian
might
lawfully
joyn
.

there
is

he
lives

in

he
is

deserves
censure

even
for
matters

He
that

will
