of_o reconcilement_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n that_o i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o because_o this_o point_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n have_v continue_v

must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o write_v to_o they_o to_o see_v his_o sentence_n publish_v ratify_v and_o execute_v which_o the_o presbyter_n there_o have_v either_o neglect_v to_o do_v as_o be_v

be_v censure_v in_o the_o congregation_n and_o execute_v by_o the_o people_n and_o thus_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o time_n give_v a_o reason_n without_o strain_v why_o our_o lord_n seem_v to_o refer_v these_o matter_n to_o the_o congregation_n when_o he_o say_v tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n because_o they_o pass_v at_o their_o assembly_n though_o under_o censure_n of_o bishop_n and_o

a_o mere_a spiritual_a commonwealth_n and_o not_o endue_v with_o temporal_a strength_n so_o much_o as_o to_o execute_v those_o sentence_n which_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n give_v by_o christ_n

those_o epistle_n requisite_a it_o be_v then_o the_o congregation_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o course_n of_o those_o proceed_n which_o must_v come_v into_o execution_n and_o effect_n by_o their_o voluntary_a submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o office_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o as_o the_o matter_n be_v now_o that_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n proceed_v not_o upon_o man_n private_a conscience_n and_o judgement_n in_o particular_n but_o upon_o general_a rule_n of_o common_a right_n requisite_a it_o be_v that_o the_o commonwealth_n have_v satisfaction_n of_o those_o law_n according_a to_o which_o the_o church_n now_o must_v proceed_v in_o their_o censure_n it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o they_o can_v proceed_v with_o effect_n but_o by_o virtue_n of_o those_o law_n that_o be_v put_v in_o force_n by_o the_o secular_a arm_n but_o as_o it_o be_v now_o no_o long_a time_n to_o leave_v matter_n to_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n place_n which_o may_v be_v regulate_v by_o law_n which_o experience_n make_v commendable_a so_o be_v it_o no_o long_o time_n to_o expect_v at_o the_o people_n hand_n voluntary_a submission_n to_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n further_o than_o it_o be_v enable_v by_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o exercise_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v wish_v that_o the_o law_n by_o which_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n be_v enable_v direct_v constrain_v to_o exercise_v this_o prime_a part_n of_o their_o office_n may_v prove_v so_o sufficient_a and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n give_v it_o by_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v so_o strengthen_v by_o the_o secular_a arm_n and_o rule_v put_v in_o force_n by_o it_o that_o it_o may_v be_v able_a to_o reduce_v all_o heinous_a and_o notorious_a offence_n under_o the_o discipline_n of_o penance_n and_o to_o cut_v they_o off_o from_o the_o church_n that_o refuse_v it_o be_v it_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o our_o lord_n intent_n be_v in_o settle_v such_o a_o power_n as_o this_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v take_v hold_n of_o sin_n of_o incontinence_n or_o the_o like_a let_v all_o other_o of_o as_o deep_a a_o

which_o our_o lord_n have_v appoint_v by_o make_v they_o know_v that_o when_o they_o have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n with_o loss_n of_o good_n or_o fame_n or_o have_v escape_v with_o

correction_n and_o amendment_n nay_o shall_v we_o imagine_v that_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v satisfy_v and_o in_o force_n in_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n so_o long_o as_o the_o case_n of_o particular_a offence_n upon_o occasion_n whereof_o it_o be_v settle_v by_o he_o in_o the_o gospel_n be_v scarce_o understand_v among_o we_o because_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o common_a practice_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n whereas_o it_o may_v easy_o appear_v what_o a_o excellent_a and_o charitable_a course_n our_o saviour_n have_v chalk_v out_o to_o we_o if_o a_o good_a christian_a heart_n desirous_a rather_o of_o his_o brother_n amendment_n then_o of_o his_o own_o satisfaction_n and_o able_a to_o make_v a_o appearance_n of_o such_o a_o offence_n as_o our_o lord_n intend_v by_o witness_n the_o church_n enable_v by_o rule_n of_o law_n establish_v by_o the_o secular_a arm_n shall_v call_v the_o person_n offend_v to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o wrong_n on_o his_o side_n cut_v he_o off_o in_o case_n he_o refuse_v amendment_n thus_o much_o for_o certain_a if_o the_o zeal_n of_o well-affected_a christian_n towards_o the_o state_n of_o this_o church_n do_v not_o mistake_v the_o true_a mark_n the_o discipline_n of_o penance_n must_v needs_o be_v think_v one_o of_o the_o first_o point_n to_o be_v reform_v in_o it_o and_o then_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o satisfaction_n which_o the_o people_n can_v demand_v of_o the_o church_n will_v consist_v in_o not_o release_n the_o correction_n inflict_v
