Not sure if I have ever found that.
Stem Publishing is a major source for exclusive Brethren writings.
One of Darby's earliest writings with a pamphlet called "
Separation From Evil: God's Principle of Unity." In that title you can see exclusivism and judgmentalism in its earliest stages. Darby did not consider the positive things of the Spirit (Eph 4) as our uniting bonds, but the common agreement of judging evil. Eventually it was Darby alone and his successors who defined what evil was for all the assemblies. Think about how powerful that is!
