1._o those_o time_n be_v many_o age_n near_a the_o apostle_n whence_o those_o instance_n of_o wrath_n upon_o excommunicate_a person_n be_v more_o fresh_a and_o warm_a among_o they_o and_o therefore_o make_v more_o deep_a impression_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n than_o now_o 2._o the_o cause_n of_o excommunication_n than_o be_v three_o viz._n 1._o practical_a immorality_n 2._o fall_v to_o

two_o first_o sort_n be_v excommunicate_a have_v no_o church_n to_o fly_v to_o nothing_o under_o which_o they_o can_v shelter_v and_o maintain_v their_o hope_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v easy_o convince_v and_o persuade_v to_o return_v but_o now_o general_o man_n do_v first_o leave_v the_o church_n before_o the_o church_n do_v cast_v they_o out_o they_o become_v usual_o member_n of_o separate_a congregation_n where_o they_o promise_v themselves_o a_o more_o certain_a way_n to_o heaven_n than_o among_o we_o and_o therefore_o neither_o matter_n excommunication_n before_o it_o come_v nor_o be_v capable_a of_o see_v their_o danger_n when_o under_o it_o the_o case_n be_v like_a that_o of_o the_o publican_n and_o harlot_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o pharisee_n on_o the_o other_o not_o that_o i_o parallel_v the_o person_n so_o much_o as_o the_o case_n the_o former_a have_v no_o religion_n to_o palliate_v their_o sin_n and_o create_v a_o hope_n and_o therefore_o be_v easy_o convince_v and_o bring_v to_o a_o saviour_n but_o the_o other_o trust_v to_o their_o own_o religion_n will_v never_o be_v wrought_v upon_o then_o the_o three_o sort_n that_o be_v excommunicate_a for_o separation_n they_o stand_v upon_o like_a term_n with_o they_o among_o we_o each_o be_v then_o and_o be_v now_o member_n of_o a_o congregation_n where_o they_o expect_v salvation_n but_o here_o lie_v a_o difference_n in_o those_o ancient_a time_n all_o man_n that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o own_o party_n do_v avoid_v they_o and_o will_v hold_v no_o society_n and_o

while_o all_o other_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o confessor_n comfort_n and_o encourage_v they_o which_o natural_o tend_v to_o the_o blind_n harden_v and_o render_v they_o mighty_o uncapable_a of_o

up_o to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n but_o now_o they_o continue_v as_o sober_a honest_a and_o well-disposed_a after_o as_o before_o it_o whence_o they_o conclude_v against_o the_o validity_n of_o it_o as_o use_v among_o we_o that_o it_o bind_v not_o in_o heaven_n we_o answer_v that_o by_o give_v up_o to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o harden_v the_o heart_n we_o understand_v two_o thing_n 1._o

we_o may_v find_v too_o many_o instance_n to_o prove_v this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v under_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o yet_o seem_v religious_a to_o himself_o and_o other_o as_o many_o
