it_o therefore_o christ_n prescribe_v a_o mean_a between_o both_o which_o neither_o shall_v offend_v the_o weak_a too_o much_o and_o yet_o shall_v be_v apt_a for_o the_o heal_n of_o their_o disease_n for_o severity_n compound_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o medicine_n be_v profitable_a and_o praise_v worthy_a in_o sum_n christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n so_o to_o forgive_v one_o another_o that_o yet_o they_o endeavour_n to_o correct_v their_o fault_n which_o must_v be_v wise_o observe_v because_o that_o nothing_o be_v more_o difficult_a then_o to_o spare_v and_o favour_v man_n and_o free_o to_o reprehend_v their_o fault_n all_o man_n almost_o do_v lean_a to_o the_o one_o side_n so_o that_o either_o they_o do_v deceive_v one_o another_o with_o deadly_a flattering_n or_o else_o they_o

be_v the_o purpose_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o lest_o that_o charity_n be_v break_v under_o pretence_n of_o fervent_a zeal_n further_o because_o ambition_n do_v carry_v away_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n so_o that_o they_o be_v too_o desirous_a to_o spread_v the_o offence_n of_o their_o brethren_n christ_n do_v in_o time_n meet_v with_o this_o fault_n command_v we_o to_o cover_v the_o fault_n of_o our_o brethren_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v for_o who_o so_o be_v delight_v with_o the_o shame_n and_o infamy_n of_o the_o brethren_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o hatred_n and_o malice_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o charity_n in_o they_o they_o will_v have_v regard_n of_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o brethren_n it_o be_v yet_o demand_v whether_o this_o rule_n do_v general_o extend_v to_o all_o sinner_n for_o there_o be_v very_o many_o which_o will_v allow_v no_o public_a reprove_v untyl_o the_o offender_n be_v first_o pryvate_o admonish_v but_o there_o be_v a_o manifest_a restraint_n in_o christ_n word_n for_o he_o do_v not_o simple_o and_o without_o exception_n command_v that_o whosoever_o sin_v shall_v be_v admonish_v or_o reprove_v private_o and_o without_o any_o witness_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o try_v this_o way_n when_o we_o be_v private_o offend_v not_o because_o the_o matter_n be_v our_o own_o but_o because_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v wound_v with_o sorrow_n as_o oft_o as_o god_n be_v offend_v neither_o yet_o do_v christ_n speak_v here_o of_o suffer_a injury_n but_o he_o do_v general_o teach_v we_o so_o to_o embrace_v and_o use_v love_v kindness_n among_o we_o lest_o by_o handle_v the_o weak_a one_o more_o sharp_o we_o shall_v lose_v they_o which_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v therefore_o this_o clause_n against_o thou_o do_v not_o note_v a_o injury_n do_v to_o some_o one_o man_n but_o distinguish_v between_o secret_a and_o manifest_a sin_n for_o if_o any_o man_n sin_v against_o the_o whole_a church_n paul_n command_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v public_o reprove_v so_o that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o very_a elder_n spare_v for_o of_o they_o by_o name_n do_v paul_n give_v timothy_n charge_n

he_o which_o offend_v so_o that_o his_o offence_n be_v open_o know_v to_o the_o public_a offence_n of_o the_o brethren_n shall_v be_v admonish_v of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o for_o so_o if_o a_o thousand_o know_v it_o he_o shall_v be_v admonish_v a_o thousand_o time_n wherefore_o that_o distinction_n which_o christ_n express_o make_v be_v to_o be_v keep_v that_o no_o man_n by_o make_v
