information_n i_o shall_v show_v first_o what_o judgement_n be_v not_o here_o forbid_v second_o what_o be_v first_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o former_a of_o these_o i_o shall_v only_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o public_a judgement_n and_o judicial_a censure_n be_v not_o here_o condemn_v for_o they_o have_v the_o divine_a authority_n to_o warrant_v they_o and_o humane_a society_n can_v subsist_v without_o they_o therefore_o let_v none_o imagine_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o these_o word_n either_o forbid_v a_o christian_n to_o be_v a_o magistrate_n or_o forbid_v a_o magistrate_n to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v evil_a thing_n and_o evil-doer_n for_o as_o magistracy_n be_v god_n ordinance_n for_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n so_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o magistrate_n to_o condemn_v and_o punish_v such_o as_o do_v evil_a be_v send_v or_o commission_v by_o god_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n and_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o 1_o pet._n ii_o 14._o they_o do_v ill_o than_o that_o censure_n and_o condemn_v this_o office_n or_o those_o that_o execute_v it_o for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o all_o man_n do_v in_o their_o own_o family_n where_o have_v authority_n as_o parent_n or_o master_n they_o correct_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o 2._o and_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o word_n forbid_v magistrate_n to_o exercise_v their_o office_n so_o they_o contain_v no_o prohibition_n unto_o private_a person_n either_o to_o form_v a_o opinion_n concern_v other_o in_o their_o mind_n upon_o the_o serious_a observation_n of_o the_o course_n of_o their_o action_n or_o to_o reprove_v and_o rebuke_v each_o other_o for_o their_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o truth_n and_o charity_n for_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o form_v a_o judgement_n concern_v other_o in_o our_o mind_n that_o we_o may_v avoid_v the_o company_n of_o evil_a man_n and_o preserve_v ourselves_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o their_o contagion_n and_o charity_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o neighbour_n prudent_a and_o seasonable_a reproof_n be_v often_o the_o great_a charity_n we_o can_v bestow_v upon_o they_o let_v the_o righteous_a smite_v i_o say_v david_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o kindness_n and_o let_v he_o reprove_v i_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o excellent_a oil_n which_o shall_v not_o break_v my_o head_n psal_n cxli_o 5._o 3._o and_o as_o we_o may_v thus_o judge_v man_n to_o be_v worthy_a of_o reproof_n and_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o fault_n so_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o word_n forbid_v we_o to_o speak_v of_o they_o unto_o other_o in_o their_o absence_n especial_o when_o they_o be_v not_o amend_v by_o private_a reproof_n provide_v first_o that_o we_o sincere_o design_v the_o good_a of_o those_o to_o who_o we_o declare_v our_o mind_n concern_v they_o and_o second_o that_o we_o say_v no_o more_o than_o be_v necessary_a to_o forewarn_v their_o neighbour_n leave_v they_o be_v mislead_v and_o infect_v by_o they_o we_o must_v not_o blacken_v they_o more_o than_o needs_o much_o less_o make_v they_o worse_o than_o they_o be_v but_o only_o give_v such_o a_o just_a character_n of_o they_o as_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o caution_n to_o those_o who_o otherwise_o may_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v enveigle_v by_o they_o into_o their_o evil_a course_n thus_o our_o lord_n bid_v his_o disciple_n beware_v of_o the_o scribe_n who_o look_v demure_o and_o behave_v themselves_o grave_o and_o make_v a_o show_n of_o great_a piety_n in_o their_o long_a prayer_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o less_o suspect_v of_o bad_a design_n and_o the_o more_o secure_o deceive_v such_o as_o trust_v to_o their_o honesty_n luke_n xx._n

1._o and_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o judge_v such_o thing_n to_o be_v sin_n nor_o censure_n and_o condemn_v other_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o condemn_v for_o to_o censure_v those_o thing_n as_o unlawful_a which_o the_o law_n of_o god_n have_v not_o forbid_v be_v in_o truth_n to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v the_o law_n itself_o as_o a_o imperfect_a and_o defective_a rule_n of_o our_o action_n which_o be_v the_o censure_n st._n james_n pass_v upon_o this_o practice_n in_o those_o know_a word_n of_o he_o james_n iu._n 11._o he_o that_o speak_v evil_a of_o his_o brother_n and_o judge_v his_o brother_n speak_v evil_a of_o the_o law_n and_o judge_v the_o law_n which_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o any_o other_o evil-speaking_a and_o judge_a but_o this_o when_o a_o man_n censure_n and_o condemn_v his_o brother_n where_o the_o law_n do_v not_o censure_n and_o condemn_v what_o he_o do_v whosoever_o thus_o judge_v his_o brother_n do_v real_o and_o true_o argue_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v want_v in_o something_o which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v prescribe_v by_o it_o instead_o of_o conform_v himself_o to_o it_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v a_o corrector_n of_o it_o and_o to_o make_v supplement_n to_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o insufficient_a direction_n to_o we_o without_o his_o addition_n which_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o next_o word_n but_o if_o thou_o judge_v the_o law_n thou_o be_v not_o a_o doer_n of_o the_o law_n but_o a_o judge_n let_v such_o man_n consider_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o lawgiver_n as_o it_o follow_v v._o 12._o who_o be_v able_a to_o save_v or_o destroy_v who_o be_v thou_o that_o judge_v another_o for_o such_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o condemn_v who_o give_v thou_o authority_n to_o pronounce_v first_o peremptory_a sentence_n upon_o thy_o brethren_n when_o thou_o be_v not_o appoint_v by_o god_n to_o be_v either_o a_o lawgiver_n or_o a_o judge_n of_o other_o especial_o of_o such_o as_o do_v not_o break_v any_o law_n of_o christ_n 2._o as_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o judge_v that_o be_v condemn_v man_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o law_n do_v not_o condemn_v so_o in_o matter_n of_o dispute_n and_o controversy_n where_o the_o law_n be_v doubtful_a or_o not_o clear_a to_o many_o good_a man_n we_o ought_v to_o forbear_v judge_v those_o who_o be_v not_o of_o our_o mind_n or_o act_v not_o as_o we_o do_v if_o otherwise_o they_o do_v well_o this_o be_v a_o famous_a case_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n when_o there_o arise_v a_o question_n whether_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n shall_v be_v observe_v by_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n the_o apostle_n say_v no_o because_o our_o lord_n have_v

maintain_v it_o be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o therefore_o judge_v all_o those_o to_o be_v impious_a who_o do_v not_o observe_v his_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n this_o be_v a_o high_a charge_n for_o which_o st._n paul_n in_o many_o place_n reprove_v they_o as_o go_v about_o ignorant_o to_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n whilst_o they_o endeavour_v to_o establish_v that_o of_o moses_n

censorious_a especial_o in_o such_o a_o case_n where_o man_n follow_v christ_n rather_o than_o moses_n which_o some_o think_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o st._n james_n who_o epistle_n be_v write_v to_o
