instance_n wherein_o man_n may_v be_v tempt_v to_o have_v that_o now_o there_o be_v several_a way_n wherein_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n as_o 1._o and_o most_o gross_o when_o a_o man_n actual_o join_v with_o other_o in_o any_o wicked_a design_n or_o practice_n it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v not_o the_o first_o mover_n in_o it_o but_o he_o be_v

hand_n in_o it_o but_o rather_o take_v the_o advice_n which_o the_o same_o wise_a man_n give_v we_o at_o the_o 15_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n my_o son_n walk_v not_o thou_o in_o the_o way_n with_o they_o refrain_v thy_o foot_n from_o their_o path_n or_o as_o you_o have_v it_o at_o the_o 14_o and_o 15_o verse_n of_o the_o four_o chapter_n enter_v not_o into_o the_o path_n of_o the_o

from_o it_o lest_o we_o be_v tempt_v and_o unwary_o fall_v into_o it_o it_o be_v much_o better_a for_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v think_v a_o little_a morose_n and_o sour_a of_o a_o uncompliant_a and_o unyield_a temper_n than_o to_o be_v draw_v into_o sinful_a compliance_n or_o to_o bear_v a_o part_n in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v unjustifiable_a and_o unlawful_a but_o 2._o we_o be_v not_o

we_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o gild_n and_o must_v expect_v to_o have_v it_o also_o in_o the_o punishment_n it_o may_v be_v caution_n or_o policy_n may_v hinder_v man_n sometime_o from_o act_v

3._o not_o only_o the_o positive_a encourage_n and_o abet_v of_o wickedness_n by_o word_n or_o deed_n make_v a_o man_n partaker_n in_o it_o and_o render_v he_o guilty_a of_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n but_o the_o not_o hinder_v not_o forbid_v it_o if_o he_o have_v authority_n not_o use_v his_o endeavour_n to_o discourage_v and_o discountenance_v it_o for_o this_o every_o good_a man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v even_o to_o set_v himself_o all_o he_o can_v by_o his_o example_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n and_o by_o all_o the_o influence_n he_o can_v tell_v how_o

and_o to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n when_o we_o know_o or_o careless_o for_o want_v of_o reasonable_a and_o prudent_a caution_n in_o our_o behaviour_n give_v any_o

this_o by_o some_o ambiguous_a word_n or_o deed_n that_o be_v liable_a to_o misconstruction_n or_o misinterpretation_n the_o great_a scandal_n indeed_o be_v give_v by_o downright_a do_v ill_a set_v a_o ill_a example_n before_o other_o or_o join_v in_o such_o wicked_a and_o unjustifiable_a practice_n as_o be_v apt_a to_o make_v man_n speak_v ill_a of_o the_o professor_n of_o religion_n and_o

the_o way_n of_o other_o by_o doubtful_a and_o ambiguous_a word_n or_o deed_n which_o though_o not_o evil_a when_o right_o understand_v yet_o may_v be_v very_o liable_a to_o misconstruction_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v no_o man_n can_v be_v cautious_a enough_o whole_o to_o avoid_v give_v scandal_n to_o some_o or_o other_o in_o this_o manner_n but_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o use_v what_o christian_a prudence_n we_o can_v and_o reasonable_o may_v to_o prevent_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o if_o we_o have_v as_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o true_a love_n to_o our_o brother_n soul_n and_o a_o tender_a regard_n to_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n we_o shall_v use_v what_o circumspection_n we_o can_v to_o prevent_v any_o such_o evil._n we_o shall_v as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v heb._n 10.24_o consider_v one_o another_o and_o mark_v each_o other_o temper_n as_o far_o as_o we_o know_v how_o to_o that_o purpose_n that_o we_o may_v provoke_v unto_o love_n and_o to_o good_a

shall_v have_v a_o care_n of_o be_v draw_v in_o by_o any_o such_o temptation_n and_o instead_o of_o that_o shall_v upon_o all_o occasion_n show_v their_o utter_a dislike_n of_o these_o work_n of_o

be_v evident_a enough_o from_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v upon_o they_o but_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o argument_n which_o he_o himself_o urge_v in_o this_o chapter_n to_o persuade_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o the_o one_a of_o which_o be_v the_o consideration_n of_o that_o dreadful_a punishment_n which_o unless_o

to_o this_o purpose_n he_o tell_v they_o at_o this_o 5_o verse_n that_o no_o whoremonger_n nor_o unclean_a person_n nor_o covetous_a man_n who_o be_v a_o idolater_n have_v any_o inheritance_n in_o
