the_o apostle_n alter_v his_o style_n to_o they_o 1_o thes_n 5._o 12_o 13._o after_o he_o have_v admonish_v the_o disciple_n to_o have_v a_o special_a regard_n to_o those_o spiritual_a guide_n and_o

long_o converse_v with_o this_o great_a apostle_n very_o well_o understand_v the_o several_a part_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o prescribe_v he_o particular_a

be_v bring_v before_o he_o and_o to_o do_v nothing_o with_o partiality_n 2._o he_o speak_v there_o of_o a_o dangerous_a sort_n of_o impostor_n which_o creep_v into_o house_n and_o have_v cunning_a enough_o to_o lead_v captive_a silly_a woman_n and_o such_o false_a apostle_n as_o take_v sanctuary_n in_o great_a family_n the_o church-censure_n can_v always_o reach_v they_o timothy_n have_v not_o then_o the_o assistance_n of_o a_o secular_a arm_n and_o perhaps_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v without_o it_o 3._o the_o apostle_n forseaw_v the_o reign_n of_o those_o impostor_n will_v be_v but_o short_a and_o conclude_v it_o will_v be_v most_o prudent_a to_o let_v they_o alone_o to_o expose_v themselves_o to_o contempt_n and_o scorn_n to_o their_o own_o ruin_n and_o this_o be_v the_o importance_n of_o those_o word_n 2_o tim._n 3._o 9_o they_o shall_v proceed_v no_o further_o for_o their_o folly_n shall_v be_v manifest_a unto_o all_o man_n as_o perhaps_o our_o reconcilers_n misadventure_n may_v be_v ere_o he_o be_v few_o month_n old_a but_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o vindication_n of_o grotius_n his_o little_a argument_n the_o next_o argument_n be_v that_o of_o catharinus_n it_o be_v but_o short_a indeed_o and_o the_o reconciler_n be_v too_o shortsighted_a to_o discern_v the_o force_n of_o it_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o apostle_n expostulation_n who_o be_v thou_o that_o judge_v another_o man_n servant_n cum_fw-la non_fw-la sis_fw-la pastor_n aut_fw-la dominus_fw-la ejus_fw-la as_o catharinus_n very_o true_o and_o judicious_o make_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o thou_o be_v not_o his_o lord_n or_o bishop_n and_o have_v no_o jurisdiction_n and_o command_n over_o he_o this_o argument_n say_v our_o reconciler_n be_v extreme_o frivolous_a which_o argue_v he_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o for_o say_v he_o if_o this_o be_v the_o import_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n why_o do_v thou_o judge_v another_o man_n servant_n who_o be_v not_o his_o pastor_n than_o his_o own_o master_n to_o who_o he_o stand_v or_o fall_v must_v be_v his_o pastor_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v have_v a_o pastor_n but_o the_o master_n there_o mention_v be_v so_o plain_o god_n that_o it_o be_v but_o lose_a time_n to_o prove_v it_o thus_o our_o reconciler_n argue_v but_o under_o favour_n he_o have_v ensnare_v himself_o in_o a_o fallacy_n which_o be_v call_v ignoratio_fw-la elenchi_fw-la for_o the_o assertion_n be_v this_o that_o those_o rule_n be_v give_v to_o private_a person_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o governor_n then_o settle_v among_o the_o christian_n at_o rome_n and_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o be_v take_v from_o a_o hint_n in_o catharinus_n why_o do_v thou_o judge_v thy_o brother_n cum_fw-la non_fw-la sis_fw-la pastor_n aut_fw-la dominus_fw-la ejus_fw-la he_o have_v no_o bishop_n or_o pastor_n to_o govern_v he_o in_o church-matter_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n refer_v he_o to_o god_n tribunal_n and_o now_o i_o hope_v the_o argument_n will_v be_v clear_a to_o the_o understanding_n of_o our_o reconciler_n for_o thus_o it_o be_v frame_v they_o that_o be_v accountable_a to_o none_o but_o god_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n they_o be_v under_o no_o jurisdiction_n they_o who_o be_v under_o no_o jurisdiction_n have_v no_o governor_n and_o consequent_o these_o

the_o grace_n of_o christ_n which_o fall_v under_o a_o threefold_a consideration_n one_o way_n as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o head_n and_o so_o it_o be_v commend_v to_o we_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n another_o way_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n mystical_a and_o so_o it_o be_v commend_v in_o those_o epistle_n which_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o

that_o here_o be_v rule_n give_v and_o particular_o in_o the_o 14_o and_o 15_o chapter_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o governor_n duty_n for_o 1._o he_o pass_v by_o the_o bishop_n office_n

2._o he_o forbid_v judge_v which_o have_v be_v a_o obstruction_n of_o justice_n and_o discipline_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o officer_n to_o execute_v and_o perform_v it_o 3._o as_o he_o have_v

and_o pastor_n be_v a_o obstruct_n of_o edification_n it_o be_v clear_a s._n paul_n send_v they_o a_o prohibition_n against_o judge_v but_o this_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a s._n paul_n will_v not_o have_v do_v against_o such_o as_o have_v authority_n to_o judge_n whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o he_o send_v not_o this_o prohibition_n to_o church-governor_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o be_v none_o such_o among_o they_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n undrtaken_v to_o be_v prove_v as_o be_v hint_v by_o catharinus_n the_o argument_n may_v be_v put_v into_o form_n thus_o such_o as_o have_v a_o jurisdiction_n and_o divine_a authority_n to_o judge_n of_o scandal_n and_o offence_n those_o person_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o forbid_v to_o judge_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o holy_a apostle_n doubtless_o will_v not_o supersede_n a_o divine_a authority_n and_o obstruct_v the_o course_n of_o justice_n and_o reformation_n but_o governor_n where_o they_o
