2._o the_o second_o imperfection_n be_v to_o be_v grieve_v where_o it_o need_v not_o be_v grieve_v as_o when_o it_o see_v other_o do_v that_o which_o itself_o through_o mistake_n do_v judge_v to_o

1._o cor._n 10.29_o why_o be_v my_o liberty_n judge_v of_o another_o man_n conscience_n he_o speak_v of_o a_o weak_a conscience_n it_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v my_o liberty_n say_v he_o but_o why_o so_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n and_o a_o imperfection_n indeed_o o_o such_o a_o one_o sin_v he_o do_v so_o and_o so_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v the_o thing_n be_v not_o unlawful_a but_o a_o

not_o judge_v he_o that_o eat_v rom._n 14.3_o 4._o a_o four_o imperfection_n be_v this_o a_o weak_a conscience_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v mislead_v so_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v take_v heed_n lest_o by_o any_o mean_v this_o liberty_n of_o you_o become_v a_o stumbling-block_n unto_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a for_o if_o any_o man_n see_v thou_o who_o have_v knowledge_n sit_v at_o meat_n in_o the_o

thy_o weak_a brother_n perish_v for_o who_o christ_n die_v 11._o 1._o cor._n 8.9_o 10_o 11._o where_o you_o see_v that_o weak_a conscience_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v mislead_v the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o when_o they_o see_v other_o who_o they_o know_v to_o be_v more_o learned_a and_o judicious_a than_o themselves_o to_o do_v so_o and_o so_o that_o may_v soon_o tempt_v they_o to_o do_v it_o though_o their_o conscience_n be_v against_o it_o use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n be_v this_o if_o any_o have_v weak_a conscience_n let_v they_o labour_n to_o strengthen_v they_o you_o see_v what_o imperfection_n be_v in_o a_o weak_a conscience_n how_o apt_a it_o be_v to_o be_v offend_v and_o to_o judge_v other_o man_n liberty_n how_o prone_a to_o mislead_v therefore_o let_v every_o good_a soul_n labour_n to_o be_v strengthen_v use_v 2_o the_o second_o use_n be_v this_o those_o that_o be_v strong_a must_v be_v careful_a that_o they_o offend_v not_o the_o weak_a though_o they_o do_v believe_v such_o and_o such_o christian_a liberty_n they_o have_v yet_o if_o they_o know_v the_o use_n of_o they_o will_v offend_v their_o weak_a brother_n they_o shall_v be_v careful_a to_o abstain_v 14.13_o rom._n 14.13_o let_v no_o man_n put_v a_o stumbling-block_n or_o a_o occasion_n to_o fall_v in_o his_o brother_n way_n use_v 3_o three_o if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o sin_n to_o sin_n against_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o weak_a than_o what_o a_o sin_n be_v it_o to_o sin_n against_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o that_o be_v godly_a whether_o weak_a one_o or_o strong_a one_o you_o who_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o can_v have_v disorder_n in_o your_o family_n and_o vanity_n in_o your_o mouth_n and_o apparent_a corruption_n in_o your_o life_n you_o who_o can_v drink_v and_o be_v drunken_a and_o keep_v company_n and_o profane_v the_o lord_n day_n you_o offend_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o that_o be_v godly_a it_o be_v a_o grief_n to_o their_o soul_n to_o see_v it_o let_v i_o
