Take heed of separating from the Publick Assemblies of the Saints. I have found by experience, that all our Church-calamities have sprung from this root. He that separates from the Publick Worship, is like a man tum∣bling down a Hill, and never leaving till he comes to the bottom of it. I could relate many sad stories of Persons professing godliness, who out of dislike to our Church-meetings, began at first to separate from them, and after many changes and alterations, are turned some of them Anabaptists, some Quakers, some Ranters, some di∣rect Atheists. But I forbear; you must hold Communi∣on with all those Churches with which Christ holds Commu∣nion. You must separate from the sins of Christians, but not from the Ordinances of Christ. Take heed of un∣churching the Churches of Christ, lest you prove Schisma∣ticks instead of being true-Christians.
