shall_v sometime_o have_v a_o venomous_a virulent_a confession_n from_o they_o wherein_o their_o confession_n against_o themselves_o be_v mingle_v with_o slanderous_a reflection_n and_o invective_n

to_o who_o do_v the_o power_n of_o excommunication_n belong_v answ_n this_o have_v be_v matter_n of_o much_o controversy_n there_o have_v be_v several_a claim_v set_v on_o foot_n and_o many_o

all_o the_o question_n that_o remain_v be_v about_o the_o power_n of_o the_o elder_n and_o the_o people_n but_o i_o shall_v wave_v that_o which_o be_v controversal_a among_o the_o godly_a learned_a i_o will_v endeavour_v so_o to_o state_n the_o case_n as_o to_o prevent_v and_o cut_v off_o dispute_v and_o jangle_n therefore_o note_v only_o thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n in_o

before_o i_o shall_v not_o wade_v into_o controversy_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o be_v clear_a there_o be_v a_o double_a act_n of_o obedience_n on_o the_o people_n part_n 1._o to_o give_v a_o

withdraw_v from_o every_o brother_n that_o walk_v disorderly_a that_o he_o may_v be_v ashamed_a 2_o thess_n 3.6_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v plain_a either_o the_o people_n must_v thus_o concur_v or_o else_o dissent_v or_o else_o stand_v by_o as_o idle_a spectator_n and_o person_n unconcerned_a but_o they_o may_v not_o dissent_v for_o remember_v how_o the_o case_n be_v state_v concern_v officer_n that_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o discharge_n of_o their_o trust_n in_o such_o a_o case_n for_o the_o people_n to_o dissent_v be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o disobey_v they_o as_o to_o disobey_v the_o lord_n christ_n they_o have_v not_o reject_v thou_o but_o i_o 1_o sam._n 8.7_o neither_o be_v the_o people_n to_o stand_v by_o as_o newter_n and_o person_n mere_o unconcern_v for_o this_o be_v to_o frustrate_v the_o sentence_n of_o excommunication_n and_o to_o make_v it_o void_a for_o the_o sentence_n do_v exclude_v he_o from_o the_o fellowship_n of_o god_n people_n and_o therefore_o unless_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o it_o to_o forbear_v keep_v company_n with_o he_o the_o sentence_n be_v vain_a it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o there_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o the_o people_n in_o church_n censure_n object_n but_o all_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v go_v upon_o this_o supposition_n that_o the_o officer_n be_v faithful_a in_o the_o discharge_n and_o execution_n of_o their_o office_n but_o suppose_v the_o officer_n be_v unfaithful_a and_o will_v not_o exclude_v ignorant_a and_o profane_a people_n or_o will_v receive_v they_o and_o shut_v out_o better_o than_o they_o or_o suppose_v the_o people_n be_v froward_a and_o will_v not_o withdraw_v from_o the_o loose_a sort_n or_o will_v not_o consent_v to_o have_v they_o cast_v out_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n what_o be_v the_o remedy_n there_o ans_fw-fr this_o be_v a_o case_n that_o seldom_o or_o never_o fall_v out_o in_o reform_a church_n in_o church_n right_o constitute_v and_o officer_n right_o qualify_v it_o can_v often_o fall_v out_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v his_o presence_n to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o he_o will_v manifest_v and_o make_v know_v his_o mind_n and_o their_o duty_n to_o they_o but_o if_o it_o do_v after_o all_o other_o mean_v use_v light_v hold_v forth_o and_o patient_a wait_a and_o seek_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o the_o godly-wise_a for_o advice_n and_o counsel_n etc._n etc._n the_o last_o remedy_n that_o minister_n have_v be_v to_o reform_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n by_o withdraw_v from_o such_o a_o corrupt_a majority_n as_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o obey_v they_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o close_v with_o the_o lesser_a but_o sound_a part_n of_o the_o people_n and_o this_o be_v the_o remedy_n that_o all_o the_o godly_a minister_n general_o have_v take_v they_o have_v leave_v out_o the_o ignorant_a and_o profane_a part_n of_o the_o parish_n from_o the_o sacrament_n especial_o from_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n if_o minister_n be_v so_o large_a in_o their_o principle_n that_o they_o will_v needs_o pollute_v the_o ordinance_n what_o can_v the_o people_n do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o help_v themselves_o but_o after_o all_o other_o mean_v use_v to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o some_o better_a minister_n and_o pure_a church_n this_o be_v the_o last_o remedy_n in_o such_o a_o case_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o four_o observation_n concern_v the_o leper_n duty_n or_o punishment_n beside_o other_o thing_n he_o must_v dwell_v alone_o and_o be_v shut_v out_o obs_n 5._o we_o may_v here_o note_v the_o marvellous_a defile_n infect_v nature_n of_o sin_n in_o that_o the_o leprosy_n infect_v
