partiality_n and_o without_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n be_v sow_v in_o peace_n in_o they_o that_o make_v peace_n but_o say_v you_o i_o be_o a_o sour_a or_o mover_n of_o

to_o have_v always_o a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o i_o lie_v endeavour_v to_o live_v peaceable_a with_o all_o man_n and_o do_v know_v

say_v we_o walk_v disorderly_a suppose_v we_o do_v what_o then_o if_o you_o will_v take_v the_o apostle_n advice_n you_o shall_v withdraw_v from_o we_o and_o if_o we_o observe_v not_o or_o obey_v

suppose_v you_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o the_o precept_n therein_o to_o be_v mind_v then_o see_v what_o it_o say_v a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o heretic_n after_o the_o first_o and_o second_o admonition_n reject_v know_v that_o he_o that_o be_v such_o be_v subvert_v and_o sin_v be_v condemn_v of_o himself_o so_o here_o he_o must_v be_v admonish_v to_o obey_v what_o he_o know_v for_o if_o he_o do_v not_o sin_v know_o he_o will_v not_o condemn_v himself_o but_o if_o he_o persist_v and_o reject_v counsel_n then_o reject_v he_o disow_v he_o and_o have_v no_o

no_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n i_o do_v what_o i_o do_v in_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o do_v know_v he_o to_o justify_v i_o and_o comfort_v i_o in_o my_o bond_n for_o the_o same_o and_o it_o be_v a_o

be_v no_o heretic_n i_o be_o one_o that_o cause_v division_n and_o offence_n contrary_a to_o your_o doctrine_n well_o suppose_v i_o be_v nay_o suppose_v i_o be_v one_o that_o cause_v division_n and_o
