spirit_n how_o much_o more_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o this_o life_n these_o interrogative_n do_v imply_v so_o many_o strong_a affirmative_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v you_o ought_v not_o to_o go_v to_o law_n before_o heathen_a judge_n but_o rather_o before_o christian_n you_o know_v very_o well_o that_o you_o shall_v one_o day_n judge_v these_o infidel_n and_o unbeliever_n and_o all_o

shall_v judge_v even_o angel_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v now_o much_o more_o worthy_a of_o inferior_a seat_n of_o judgement_n to_o judge_v of_o matter_n which_o pertain_v to_o this_o life_n he_o attribute_n you_o see_v a_o sort_n of_o a_o judicature_n to_o the_o saint_n hereafter_o and_o therefore_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v judge_n now_o he_o advise_v they_o to_o set_v out_o those_o among_o they_o who_o shall_v try_v their_o cause_n so_o as_o that_o they_o need_v not_o go_v to_o heathen_a court_n wherefore_o say_v he_o in_o the_o verse_n immediate_o follow_v my_o text_n if_o you_o have_v judgement_n of_o thing_n pertain_v to_o this_o life_n that_o be_v if_o you_o have_v any_o secular_a controversy_n set_v they_o to_o judge_v who_o be_v least_o esteem_v in_o the_o church_n v_o 4._o which_o expression_n may_v perhaps_o at_o first_o sight_n or_o at_o first_o hear_v seem_v very_o strange_a and_o unreasonble_a for_o what_o will_v he_o have_v the_o judgment-seat_n fill_v with_o person_n who_o be_v the_o least_o esteem_v in_o the_o church_n when_o st._n paul_n advise_v they_o to_o set_v up_o judge_n among_o themselves_o to_o hear_v and_o determine_v their_o cause_n will_v he_o have_v they_o to_o be_v the_o refuse_n and_o scum_n of_o the_o people_n when_o the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n require_v the_o great_a wisdom_n knowledge_n and_o experience_n which_o gain_v he_o esteem_v and_o reputation_n and_o honour_n in_o the_o world_n will_v he_o have_v such_o to_o be_v judge_n among_o they_o who_o be_v destitute_a of_o those_o quality_n that_o must_v make_v they_o fit_a for_o so_o high_a a_o call_v as_o those_o who_o be_v least_o esteem_v in_o the_o church_n must_v be_v presume_v to_o be_v no_o sure_o this_o can_v not_o be_v the_o meaning_n or_o intention_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o must_v not_o conceive_v that_o he_o speak_v this_o by_o way_n of_o precept_n command_v they_o to_o set_v the_o weak_a and_o the_o simple_a of_o their_o brethren_n to_o judge_v betwixt_o one_o christian_n and_o another_o but_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o he_o speak_v this_o only_a by_o way_n of_o comparison_n that_o they_o have_v better_o do_v so_o than_o implead_v one_o another_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o infidel_n judge_n but_o what_o if_o we_o shall_v make_v another_o construction_n of_o the_o word_n different_a indeed_o from_o the_o common_a
