say_v he_o will_v have_v none_o to_o gather_v when_o he_o come_v because_o it_o will_v tend_v both_o to_o he_o and_o to_o their_o shame_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v unready_a unreadiness_n be_v

these_o be_v the_o parcel_n of_o this_o text._n of_o these_o thing_n brief_o and_o in_o order_n as_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o give_v assistance_n authority_n 2_o motive_n from_o the_o church_n authority_n first_o concern_v the_o motive_n from_o the_o church_n it_o have_v always_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n that_o be_v take_v from_o the_o church_n authority_n he_o that_o hear_v you_o hear_v i_o and_o he_o that_o scorn_v you_o scorn_v i_o say_v our_o lord_n christ_n and_o tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o as_o a_o heathen_a and_o a_o publican_n or_o sinner_n he_o that_o will_v not_o do_v as_o the_o church_n do_v he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n he_o be_v a_o banish_a man_n from_o heaven_n and_o a_o castaway_n from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n this_o argument_n therefore_o must_v be_v of_o special_a consideration_n with_o we_o what_o the_o ancient_a church_n have_v do_v before_o time_n we_o must_v follow_v their_o step_n if_o we_o mean_v to_o partake_v of_o the_o reward_n that_o they_o and_o we_o both_o look_v for_o we_o see_v that_o antiquity_n be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o main_a reason_n to_o induce_v any_o good_a understanding_n for_o if_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v authority_n to_o persuade_v all_o her_o child_n and_o those_o that_o follow_v after_o certain_o then_o the_o ancient_a church_n be_v of_o the_o great_a authority_n now_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n be_v a_o more_o ancient_a church_n than_o corinth_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n allege_v the_o authority_n of_o that_o church_n to_o bring_v this_o on_o so_o we_o see_v also_o in_o person_n not_o only_o in_o church_n but_o in_o particular_a person_n rom._n 16.6_o salute_v andronicus_n and_o junia_n that_o be_v before_o i_o in_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v christian_n before_o saint_n paul_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n give_v they_o honour_n as_o his_o predecessor_n as_o his_o glorious_a and_o honourable_a ancestor_n that_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n before_o he_o therefore_o he_o say_v honour_v they_o and_o salute_v they_o much_o so_o in_o this_o case_n galatia_n be_v the_o more_o ancient_a church_n therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o church_n afterward_o in_o all_o good_a thing_n in_o all_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o great_a argument_n one_o of_o they_o under_o heaven_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a if_o our_o mother_n church_n which_o be_v once_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o it_o have_v not_o prove_v extreme_o cruel_a and_o tyrannous_a in_o her_o proceed_n there_o ought_v no_o church_n to_o have_v fall_v away_o from_o her_o community_n for_o by_o separation_n from_o she_o if_o she_o have_v continue_v a_o true_a mother_n they_o have_v separate_v from_o their_o father_n too_o the_o god_n of_o all_o comfort_n the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o a_o man_n can_v have_v his_o father_n blessing_n if_o he_o go_v from_o his_o mother_n bosom_n but_o now_o when_o all_o thing_n be_v turn_v to_o pride_n to_o worldly_a covetousness_n to_o ambition_n and_o vain_a glory_n and_o their_o own_o greatness_n without_o the_o true_a aim_n and_o without_o respect_n to_o the_o right_a end_n when_o all_o be_v turn_v to_o pride_n and_o self-love_n that_o they_o will_v depose_v king_n and_o prince_n out_o of_o their_o seat_n and_o kingdom_n it_o grow_v then_o to_o be_v a_o monster_n and_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o mother_n and_o thence_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o have_v any_o communion_n with_o they_o that_o be_v so_o blasphemous_a but_o else_o i_o say_v if_o they_o have_v continue_v in_o that_o modest_a

sure_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n have_v be_v a_o rule_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o where_o they_o do_v well_o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o law_n from_o their_o do_n as_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n do_v so_o do_v you_o be_v 2_o what_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n be_v second_o here_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v what_o this_o church_n of_o galatia_n be_v it_o be_v a_o famous_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a church_n it_o be_v so_o famous_a in_o zeal_n that_o the_o apostle_n protest_v that_o they_o will_v have_v give_v he_o their_o eye_n to_o have_v do_v he_o good_a wherein_o he_o signify_v their_o infinite_a ardour_n and_o fervency_n to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n at_o his_o first_o come_n although_o afterward_o by_o his_o absence_n they_o be_v seduce_v and_o draw_v away_o by_o circumcision_n by_o some_o creep_a jew_n that_o steal_v in_o among_o they_o but_o as_o it_o be_v famous_a for_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o it_o be_v but_o mean_a in_o condition_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n may_v well_o draw_v a_o argument_n from_o it_o for_o the_o corinthian_n can_v not_o object_n and_o say_v what_o do_v you_o tell_v we_o of_o galatia_n galatia_n be_v a_o potent_a kingdom_n a_o rich_a kingdom_n full_a of_o mean_n and_o full_a of_o glory_n above_o our_o city_n but_o this_o they_o can_v not_o do_v for_o it_o appear_v to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a place_n a_o place_n of_o no_o traffic_n except_o it_o be_v a_o little_a in_o the_o euxine_a sea_n for_o it_o be_v a_o middle-land_n place_n and_o although_o the_o country_n of_o asia-minor_a whereof_o galatia_n be_v one_o can_v maintain_v themselves_o minor_fw-la galatia_n in_o asia_n minor_fw-la yet_o for_o any_o great_a superfluity_n and_o abundance_n to_o send_v to_o other_o they_o can_v do_v it_o especial_o the_o city_n of_o galatia_n which_o be_v exclude_v and_o keep_v from_o the_o pamphilian_a sea_n by_o the_o border_n of_o the_o south_n which_o lie_v between_o it_o and_o pamphilia_n so_o we_o see_v here_o that_o according_a as_o god_n have_v give_v church_n mean_n and_o ability_n so_o they_o shall_v exceed_v those_o that_o be_v poor_a the_o rich_a sort_n must_v do_v after_o a_o rich_a manner_n and_o if_o the_o poor_a shall_v at_o any_o time_n seek_v to_o transcend_v they_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o they_o that_o be_v great_a and_o more_o able_a the_o city_n of_o corinth_n it_o be_v the_o mart_n of_o all_o the_o world_n 2._o corinth_n the_o mart_n of_o the_o world_n hom._n iliad_n 2._o therefore_o homer_n in_o his_o time_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o ancient_a writer_n that_o ever_o be_v among_o the_o heathen_a there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o in_o his_o second_o iliad_n he_o say_v three_o time_n over_o rich_a corinth_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o of_o the_o situation_n which_o be_v between_o two_o sea_n from_o whence_o all_o the_o traffic_n of_o the_o world_n flock_v &_o flow_v to_o it_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o see_v the_o church_n of_o galatia_n have_v far_o less_o mean_n than_o corinth_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v do_v thus_o therefore_o corinth_n must_v much_o more_o obey_v this_o precept_n and_o it_o be_v a_o lesson_n that_o i_o will_v that_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n will_v lay_v to_o their_o own_o conscience_n both_o in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o their_o private_a person_n for_o we_o have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o poor_a church_n even_o in_o this_o city_n that_o be_v sess_v oft_o time_n to_o pay_v far_o more_o then_o rich_a place_n do_v and_o there_o be_v many_o poor_a person_n that_o be_v true_a paymaster_n that_o pay_v scot_n and_o lot_n better_o than_o many_o great_a man_n do_v which_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v here_o to_o be_v a_o shame_n it_o be_v a_o shame_n that_o poor_a church_n shall_v go_v before_o rich_a it_o be_v a_o shame_n that_o galatia_n shall_v go_v before_o corinth_n and_o exceed_v

and_o of_o excellent_a perfection_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o endure_v opposition_n be_v tender_a heart_a and_o of_o weak_a spirit_n they_o can_v not_o bear_v the_o malice_n of_o the_o multitude_n
