eat_v be_v not_o to_o despise_v he_o that_o do_v not_o eat_v so_o thou_o may_v see_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o regard_n to_o their_o growth_n in_o the_o faith_n and_o so_o will_v have_v all_o walk_v according_o in_o wisdom_n with_o care_n not_o to_o hurt_v one_o another_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o people_n of_o a_o loose_a life_n who_o word_n and_o action_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o

and_o give_v testimony_n against_o they_o and_o yet_o not_o contradict_v paul_n in_o this_o case_n how_o ignorant_a thou_o show_v thyself_o to_o be_v of_o the_o scripture_n but_o mark_v thy_o

in_o the_o liberty_n of_o their_o faith_n observe_v day_n and_o other_o thing_n which_o you_o require_v and_o when_o they_o can_v not_o conform_v to_o you_o they_o have_v not_o only_o be_v judge_v by_o you_o but_o sore_o abuse_v and_o cast_v into_o prison_n put_v in_o the_o stock_n and_o their_o good_n spoil_v thus_o have_v many_o suffer_v only_o for_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o so_o herein_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o your_o establish_a church_n thou_o speak_v of_o be_v high_o guilty_a of_o the_o fact_n thou_o charge_v to_o be_v plain_o contrary_a to_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o forecited_a scripture_n in_o rom._n and_o so_o be_v judge_v another_o man_n servant_n in_o that_o wherein_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v leave_v to_o his_o own_o master_n and_o

its_o evident_a that_o for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v that_o he_o see_v the_o evil_a of_o his_o own_o heart_n by_o the_o light_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o other_o man_n which_o be_v conversant_a with_o he_o in_o his_o loose_a conversation_n do_v not_o bring_v he_o under_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o thou_o ignorant_o do_v imply_v therefore_o thou_o may_v take_v it_o home_o to_o thyself_o and_o thy_o brethren_n as_o a_o just_a judgement_n upon_o you_o for_o the_o reason_n aforemention_v thou_o further_o say_v that_o perhaps_o we_o will_v object_v that_o christ_n

that_o be_v the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o such_o man_n and_o not_o their_o particular_a action_n answer_n that_o christ_n word_n here_o have_v a_o relation_n to_o false_a prophet_n we_o grant_v it_o and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v know_v by_o their_o fruit_n we_o also_o acknowledge_v but_o that_o the_o fruit_n there_o mean_v be_v only_o their_o doctrine_n and_o not_o their_o particular_a
