of_o excommunication_n that_o other_o shall_v esteem_v they_o so_o and_o avoid_v they_o as_o such_o person_n be_v sometime_o debate_v among_o we_o in_o our_o book_n if_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o by_o way_n of_o imprecation_n if_o it_o sound_v so_o you_o be_v to_o remember_v first_o that_o many_o thing_n be_v speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o sound_v as_o imprecation_n as_o execration_n which_o be_v indeed_o but_o prophecy_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o anger_n when_o they_o be_v in_o truth_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o pprophecy_n so_o in_o very_a many_o place_n of_o the_o psalm_n david_n seem_v to_o wish_v heavy_a calamity_n upon_o his_o and_o god_n enemy_n when_o it_o be_v but_o a_o declaration_n of_o those_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o he_o prophetical_o foresee_v to_o be_v imminent_a upon_o they_o they_o seem_v imprecation_n and_o be_v but_o prophecy_n and_o such_o we_o who_o have_v not_o this_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n nor_o foresight_n of_o god_n way_n may_v not_o venture_v upon_o if_o they_o be_v true_o imprecation_n you_o be_v to_o remember_v also_o that_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v in_o they_o a_o power_n extraordinary_a and_o in_o execution_n of_o that_o power_n may_v do_v that_o which_o every_o private_a man_n may_v not_o do_v so_o the_o prophet_n rebuke_v so_o they_o punish_v king_n so_o 2.24_o so_o 2_o king_n 2.24_o elizeus_fw-la call_v in_o the_o bear_n to_o devour_v the_o boy_n and_o so_o 1._o so_o 2_o king_n 1._o elias_n call_v down_o fire_n to_o devour_v the_o captain_n so_o s._n peter_n kill_v 5._o kill_v act_n 5._o ananias_n and_o sapphira_n with_o his_o word_n and_o 13.8_o and_o act_n 13.8_o so_o s._n paul_n stroke_n elymas_n the_o sorcerer_n with_o blindness_n but_o upon_o imprecation_n of_o this_o kind_n we_o as_o private_a man_n or_o as_o public_a person_n but_o limit_v by_o our_o commission_n may_v not_o adventure_v neither_o but_o take_v the_o prophet_n or_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o high_a authority_n yet_o in_o a_o over-vehement_a zeal_n they_o may_v have_v do_v some_o thing_n some_o time_n not_o warrantable_a in_o

christ_n 9.3_o rom._n 9.3_o in_o james_n and_o johns_n impatience_n of_o their_o master_n be_v neglect_v by_o the_o samaritan_n when_o they_o draw_v from_o christ_n that_o rebuke_n you_o know_v not_o of_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v in_o these_o 9.55_o luke_n 9.55_o and_o such_o as_o these_o there_o may_v be_v something_o wherein_o even_o these_o man_n can_v be_v excuse_v but_o very_o much_o wherein_o we_o may_v not_o follow_v they_o nor_o do_v as_o they_o do_v nor_o say_v as_o they_o say_v since_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n a_o facility_n a_o proclivity_n of_o err_v herein_o and_o so_o many_o condition_n and_o circumstance_n require_v to_o make_v a_o imprecation_n just_a and_o lawful_a the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o forbear_v they_o or_o to_o be_v very_o spare_v in_o they_o but_o we_o rather_o take_v this_o in_o the_o text_n excommunicatio_fw-la excommunicatio_fw-la to_o be_v a_o excommunication_n denounce_v by_o the_o apostle_n than_o a_o imprecation_n so_o christ_n himself_o
